Journey with Hope

What does it really mean to be walking before God? In Genesis 17:1, God calls Abraham to faithful obedience before reaffirming His covenant. This reflection explores following God, walking with Him, and how trust, holiness, and the Spirit shape our daily walk of faith.

In a culture obsessed with comfort and self-fulfillment, Jesus calls His followers to something radically different. Self-denial in a self-focused world is about submission, trust, and discovering a deeper, freer life in Christ.

Are we willing to say yes to God even when it costs us comfort?

Guided by God through dreams, Joseph fled with Mary and the child Jesus to Egypt—an unexpected place that fulfilled ancient prophecy. Jesus retraced Israel’s story, not to repeat its failures, but to fulfill it perfectly. From Egypt to Nazareth, God worked through obscurity, danger, and obedience to accomplish His redemptive plan. The Messiah was preserved, prophecy was fulfilled, and hope entered the world—quietly, faithfully, and on God’s timetable.

Temptation didn’t end in the wilderness and it won’t end for us either. The enemy still watches for vulnerable moments, twisting Scripture, feeding doubt, and striking when we’re weak. But in Christ, we’re not defenseless. Through the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and a living hope in Jesus, we can stand firm, resist the lies, and walk in obedience. When we are standing firm through faith, it becomes our shield and hope becomes our anchor. Stay alert. Stand strong in Christ.

The Bible warns about the danger of a hardened heart, but it also offers hope. Through the Spirit, God works the softening of a hardened heart, transforming us from stone to flesh. Have you seen God renew your heart with love and obedience?

The Bible calls us to guard our hearts, for life flows from within (Proverbs 4:23). Yet even when our hearts condemn us, we can rest in the promise that God is greater than our heart (1 John 3:20).

God's promise of a remnant endures through time. Like scraps in my grandmother’s quilt, transformed into beauty, God’s faithful few carry His work forward. Today, we’re called to be His remnant. Let’s pray to walk the narrow path, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us.

Knowing the good we ought to do, but not doing it, is still sin (James 4:17). Two ER stories show how obedience or fear can shape a moment. Whether bold or hesitant, God calls each of us to step up, speak out, and act in love. What good will you do today?

Creation knows that the God of the universe cares for it. Do we? The book of Psalms ends with this verse: " Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! " God is sovereign over all living things. In their own way, the animals praise and obey the Lord. What does the Bible have to say about the animals and their response to G

Rules, rules and more rules. Christianity is often seen as just a series of boxes to check. Things to do and things not to do. In response to this, many churches have emerged that condemn rules. These churches preach only about love, forgiveness, not judging others and all the benefits that being a Christian can bring. They promote a 'Santa Claus' view of God, where He's only there to provide the things we want. Legalism or compromise - both views miss the mark. The Hard
