Promises
God’s will is His Word. Testament means “will”. As we read the word of God, we are reading His will for us. I love diving into the Word and discovering a new promise, a new provision of the will I didn’t know was there before. Once discovered, I can believe it; I can trust it shall come to pass in my life. What promises does God have in store for...
One Belief Fits All
“I will bless you and you shall be a blessing.” Thus began God’s covenant with the Israel nation. Fast forward through laws, kings, Pharisees to Jesus. Jesus completely and beautifully fulfills the law so that Jews and Gentiles, men and women, blacks and whites, Europeans and Middle-Easterners, Asians and Islanders, ANYONE who believes the Good News can all enjoy the same blessings. What are those blessings? Blessed to be a...
Do You Have an Abigail?
Yesterday, I wrote about cave dwelling on our way to the palace. Sometimes, when in the cave, we can loose sight of the promise. We need people in our lives to speak truth to us, to remind us of where God is leading us. We need people to prophesy our future. While David was cave dwelling he encountered a man who was foolish and boorish. After David and his men...
Making the Most of Your Cave
David was given a promise he would be king. Two years later, he is part of the King’s court, experiencing success in everything he does. For 17 years he serves King Saul. For 17 years everything he does prosper. I’m sure David thought this would be the path to the throne….But His success only made the king jealous. That jealousy caused David to flee. David went from living in the...
Giant Slayer
On the journey to your promise, you may encounter a giant or two. Young David is the quintessential giant slayer. Let’s learn from David how to engage and be victorious in the battle. 1. Never be intimidated by the size of your giant. Be impressed by the size of your God. Israel’s army, trained warriors, fled in fear at the sight of the giant. David saw an easy target. (1...
He Qualifies the Unqualified
Tall, handsome, the eldest of eight. Surely if the Lord were to pick the next King Of Israel from one of Jesse’s sons, Eliab would be it. But alas, he was not the chosen one. Instead God chose the youngest, the shepherd, a mere boy who was so insignificant to his family that he wasn’t even invited to the selection party. You may feel about yourself as David’s family felt...
Every Promised Fulfilled
Joshua, at the end of his life recorded this amazing attribute to God’s faithfulness: “Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true.” Joshua 21:45 NLT Considering the promise started with Abraham, the fulfillment of the promise only took: A miraculous birth (believe me, Sara giving birth at 90 was a miracle)...

Remember what you have read and studied in the Word of God. Remember what He has promised and He is faithful. You are equipped. You are bold. You are strong. You have...
Moses, My Servant is Dead
Forty years Joshua had roamed the desert. Forty years seeing the promise but not experiencing it. Forty years refusing to doubt, forty years refusing fear, forty years knowing the promise is just steps away. Then suddenly. Moses, their beloved, wise, humble and fearless leader died in the desert on the wrong side of the promise. God appeared to Joshua and renewed the promise He had given Abraham then Moses. But...
