We read Hebrews 11:1 all the time, but many of us still wonder what it really means in daily life. What does it mean that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”? And how is that connected to a real relationship with a real God we cannot see?
When you hear the name Yahweh, what do you feel? Confusion, curiosity, maybe a quiet pull in your heart to know who this God really is? This name is not a label humans gave to God. It is the name God spoke about Himself. It carries power, history, and deep love. In Scripture, Yahweh is the God whose power shakes nations, but He is also the God who bends low, comes to us in Jesus, dies for us, and now lives inside His people by the Holy Spirit.
Have you ever felt utterly alone, even in a crowded room? Like a ship lost at sea, with no land in sight? Maybe you’ve been hurt by someone you trusted, the wound so deep it feels like time can never heal it. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Feeling weak, vulnerable, and wondering if there’s any point in even praying. But what if I told you that in those very moments of weakness, you’re not alone? That there’s a path, a way to find strength when you feel you have none? Today, we’re going to talk about just that – walking in the footsteps of Jesus, as dear children, and finding unbelievable power in our moments of weakness.
The Holy Spirit is one of the most fascinating yet often misunderstood aspects of Christian theology. From the very first pages of the Bible, His presence weaves through history—pointing, guiding, and empowering God’s people. But who exactly is the Holy Spirit? Is He a person, a force, or something else entirely? Spoiler: He’s God, revealed to us as part of the Trinity and described as our Helper, Comforter, and Friend.
The Seven Spirits of God stand as one of the most profound and often misunderstood truths in Christian theology. Rooted deeply in Scripture, they aren’t seven separate entities but rather seven attributes of the one Holy Spirit—God revealing Himself in fullness. Isaiah 11:2 describes these aspects as wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord, all unified under the Spirit of the Lord. Recognizing this truth not only brings clarity to the Trinity but also strengthens our understanding of God’s nature.
In life’s most challenging battles, we often need reminders to pause, trust God, and let Him work. Exodus 14:13-14 invites us to do just that. This powerful Scripture urges us not to fear but to stand still and witness God’s salvation. It assures us that the Lord will fight our battles while we hold our peace. This timeless truth is not only an encouragement but a profound call to faith and surrender.
