Knowing God, Following His Instruction God’s righteousness refers to His perfect, holy nature and just actions. He is inherently good and faithful. God’s instruction — that is His Word and the guidance the Holy Spirit gives us. If God is righteous and good, then it makes sense that His instruction would guide us in the same direction. In being an ambassador of Christ, we need direction, so we know how to live that kind of life. When we look into the Word of God, we find that

Seek the Lord in Faith Through All Seasons and Reap the Harvest That is Coming I sought the Lord for Scripture for the week, and He gave me three. At first, I was trying to figure out how they even connected. So, I read each one along with the commentary in my study Bible… and they do, in fact, go together. They bring hope, they teach patience, and they show that seeking the Lord in all things through faith is what leads us to the reward — the Kingdom of Heaven. Those scriptu

Let God Speak The voices of this world are loud — and the loudest is usually our own. So often, we tell others to speak kindly to themselves. We encourage them, and we want them to encourage others.

God’s Plan We misstep. We make mistakes. But we are never out of God’s sight. Jeremian 29:11-13 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. God wants us to succeed. He wants us to live in His will and remember that no matter how we falter, He

Grace We are often so quick to give others grace, yet so hard on ourselves. We hold on to mistakes. We replay moments. We have full conversations in our heads. We wish we had done better or said something different. And through all of this, are we giving ourselves the same grace we would give someone else? Personally, I’m even quicker to forgive others than I am to forgive myself. Where did we learn this? This isn’t what the Bible teaches, nor is it how Jesus shows us we shou
