Be Transformed

In Romans 12:1-2, Paul shows us how we can know we are walking in God’s will, by being transformed by the renewing of our mind. But, what does that mean, or, how do we do that? In this video, I seek to elaborate on that point alongside an update about travel to Israel.

Progression, or Regression?

Devotional on Number 21:4-9 and God’s remedy for humanity’s sin. Here, especially we look at the sin of ingratitude that creeps into the hearts of men as we become impatient with what we do not have rather than content with what we do have.

On the Move

Psalm 21:2, “You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.”

Awaiting a flight from JFK to Israel, overlooking the Jamaica Bay from the windows of JFK Airport, I stand in awe of God’s faithfulness! Surely God has given me my heart’s desire and not withheld the request of my lips!

After patiently waiting, closed doors became open doors! Today, I embark on a six-month stay in Israel! I look forward to investing in the people and place of Israel. Primarily, time will be spent at Bar Ilan University focusing on my doctoral studies in Hebrew Bible while aware of my surroundings and the needs thereof. Moreover, I look forward to connecting with my old church (All Nations) and football team (The Petah Tikva Troopers).

Will you pray for me as I go!?

Because truly, “the Harvest is Plentiful but the Laborers are few, therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest to send out Laborers into the Harvest.” Matthew 9:37–38

“And I (Isaiah) heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8

God's Faithfulness to Provide in our Times of Need

COVID 19 has quickly reshaped our world, including unemployment rates at an all-time high. People without employment are wondering how they are going to provide for themselves.

But believers in the gospel have good news! In 1 Kings 17, Elijah too was in a time of need and found God faithful to provide. Learn how Elijah trusted God’s instruction and experienced God’s provision.

What are you doing here, Elijah?

James 5 tells us that Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, he prayed, and the heavens gave rain. But 1 Kings 19 shows the other side of Elijah. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah lost hope and quickly became discouraged even to the point of depression. Almost overnight, Elijah went from a spiritual high to an emotional low.

But, how about you, have you ever been there? Ever lost hope, ready to quit?

If so, check out 1 Kings 17-19, Elijah’s journey from Sidon to Sinai. Find God's voice in the stillness and refresh your soul knowing He is in control.

Or, maybe you know someone who is struggling with depression?

Study how God ministered to Elijah in need in order to apply those principles to a friend in need.

First, God met Elijah’s physical needs. After Elijah was physically strengthened by a hot meal, God listened to Elijah, not once but twice. After listening, God finally responded softly and kindly reasserting hope.

Serving a hot meal and offering listening ears may go a long way to a dejected friend in need. Blessings!

“Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!” Psalm 103:1
