We’ve all had moments where we thought we were doing the right thing—trying to protect someone we love, trying to make sure things turn out the way they’re supposed to. But sometimes, those good intentions can lead us down a path of control rather than trust. That’s exactly what happened in the story of Rebekah. […]
Sometimes, the moments that seem the most ordinary turn out to be the most significant. Have you ever made a decision that felt small at the time, only to realize later that it changed everything? Maybe it was taking a job, moving somewhere new, or stepping into something before you felt ready. In Genesis 23, […]
“Some time later, God tested Abraham…” – Genesis 22:1 Trusting God when the path doesn’t make sense is one of the hardest things we’re asked to do. Maybe you’re in a season where He’s calling you to surrender something—your dreams, your comfort, or the security you’ve built. Maybe He’s asking you to move forward without […]
“God is with you in everything you do.” – Genesis 21:22 There’s something powerful about a faith that speaks louder than words.

That’s exactly what we see in Abraham’s story in […]
“Fear tells us to take control; faith reminds us that God already has it.” Fear has a way of clouding our judgment. It makes us act quickly, sometimes recklessly, as we try to regain a sense of control. In Genesis 19, we see this clearly in the story of Lot and his daughters. After escaping […]
“Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain!” – Genesis 19:17 Compromise rarely feels dangerous at first. It starts small—just one decision here or there that seems reasonable or even wise. But over time, those choices add up. Before we know it, we’re standing in places we never intended […]
