February 4th Devotion—Day 35
Verse (Romans 8:15, NKJV) “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’” Reflection: Fear used to be a familiar companion in my walk with God. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of losing closeness. Fear of falling short. But this verse makes something very clear: fear is not the spirit I received. I received the Spirit of adoption. I belong. The Holy Spirit within me continually draws my

February 3rd Devotion — Day 34
Verse Zephaniah 3:17, NKJV “The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Reflection Let this verse reshape how you see God’s presence in your life. He is not standing at a distance, watching to see how you perform. He is in your midst. He rejoices over you. That truth alone quiets so much inner noise. I’ve learned that when my heart feels restless

February 2nd Devotion—Day 33
Verse (1 John 3:1, NKJV) “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” Reflection There are moments when I have to slow myself down and truly behold this truth. I am called a child of God. Not because I earned it, but because the Father chose it. For years, I lived more like a servant trying to do things right than a son who belonged. This verse reminds

Avoiding Misplaced Focus
When I read Paul’s words to Timothy in this passage below, I don’t hear rebuke as much as I hear him exhorting resetting. Paul is not addressing obvious rebellion or immoral behavior; he is addressing something far more subtle and far more dangerous from a Kingdom perspective—a misplaced focus that appears spiritual but quietly pulls people away from the heart of God’s government. Paul urges Timothy to remain in Ephesus because the problem there was not a denial of God or Scr

Does Government Really Care?
Do You Really Believe Our Government Cares About You? That’s not a political question. It’s a heart question. I’ve asked myself that more than once over the years. Do the systems we live under actually care about us, or do they simply manage us? At best, earthly governments function from a distance. They govern populations, not people. They deal in policies, not intimacy. Even when intentions are good, their reach is limited. Governments can regulate behavior, but they cannot

Share the Gospel of the Kingdom
Did you know the gospels use the word kingdom over 126 times? Did you realize that the word kingdom is a governmental word ? God, His Kingdom, and His Word is our governing authority. While we should pray for and honor Congress, Senate, President, and SCOTUS, and submit to their worldly authority, they are not our final governing authority. The Great King is. Our churches should be declaring God’s good Kingdom, and declaring His governing influence in our lives. This was the
