Determine today that your faith will not depend on favorable circumstances but on the unchanging nature of God. Let your worship be louder than your worries, your gratitude greater than your grief, and your hope stronger than your hardship. Choose to leave this world as a person who trusted God wholeheartedly rather than one consumed by resentment and regret. A life anchored in faith will always outlive the fiercest storm, and those who trust the Lord will never discover that their confidence in Him was misplaced.
"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him." — Jeremiah 17:7.

Hello Stranger, Called Jaymoh, allow me to tell you a story. When I was 26 years, I owned only an extension(yes, for electricity), by 27 years 9 months, I had a million in my account. By 28 years 5 months, I had less than 100k. By 30 years, I had built my mum a house.
A thread.
My pastor preached Matthew 4 last night, and one word has been sitting in my chest since.
If.
Jesus had just come up out of the water. The Father had just spoken over Him. "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Then the wilderness. Then hunger. Then the devil.
And the first word out of the devil's mouth was not a curse. It was not open rebellion against God.
It was a question.
"If thou be the Son of God..."
That is how the voice works.
It does not start by telling you to hate God. It starts by asking you to prove what God already said.
If God was with you, would this be happening?
If you were really saved, would your mind still fight you like this?
If the Lord was in your house, would your marriage feel this tired?
If you were really His, would you be this afraid?
Same word the devil used in the wilderness.
Different kitchen. Different phone screen. Different ache in the chest.
Here is what nobody preached me growing up.
Genesis 22 verse one. "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham."
Same word. Different mouth.
The Father uses it to prove.
Then Matthew 4. The devil uses it to tempt.
Then Matthew 27. The chief priests walk past the cross. "If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross."
The same wilderness sentence in religious mouths.
One word.
Three mouths.
God to prove you. The devil to trip you. Religion to gatekeep you.
The Lord answered every one of them the same way.
It is written.
Not I feel. Not I think. Not my mentor said.
It is written.
Most of us wait until the IF arrives to start looking for scripture.
By then the body is loud, the fear is loud, the deadline is loud, the accusation is loud, and the IF has already moved from the ear into the chest.
You do not rise to your intentions in that hour.
You answer with what has been put in you.
The question is not whether the IF will come tonight.
It will.
The question is what comes out of you when it does.
Wishing a Happy Birthday to Sir David Attenborough. Thank you for the knowledge, passion, and hope you’ve passed on to all of us.
Celebrate 100 years of Sir David Attenborough with Ocean with David Attenborough on @DisneyPlus and @hulu
My favourite moment from last night was when the audience at the Royal Albert Hall, including Prince William, sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Sir David Attenborough 🎶🥹💚
It's clear these humans transcended to a certain consciousness most of us can't understand yet.
In other words they sound high.
High on truth.
"I love ALL of you (humanity)"
(Victor Glover)
"It's a special thing to be a human, and it's a special thing to be on planet Earth"
(Reid Wiseman)
Listening to the crew, it's clear they've experienced the clarity you can only feel when you're very, very close to death.
They saw how humans live on a tiny, fragile orb in a sea of vast, seemingly unending, lifelessness, on the edge of death.
In seeing how alone we all are, in seeing how close to non-existence all of us are, they saw how special we are.
"In all this blackness, tiny Earth is just a lifeboat hanging in the universe"
(Christina Koch)
They saw how singularly unique in our region of the cosmos the existence of life is.
That's how they learned the meaning of everything:
"Gratitude. Joy. Love."
(Jeremy Hansen)
#Artemis2
The “Christians are anti-science rubes” line is getting old.
And it just got blown out of the sky, literally.
Meet Victor Glover, pilot of Artemis II.
This dedicated man of faith just completed the first crewed mission around the Moon since 1972.
While looking back at the Earth from deep space, he didn’t have a crisis of faith. He said the view reinforced his belief in creation.
And he’s not new to this. Glover has already taken communion cups and a Bible into space on previous missions. He’s been open about his faith the entire time.
He’s not the first either.
Back in 1968, the Apollo 8 crew, the first humans to leave Earth orbit and circle the Moon, read from the book of Genesis on live television on Christmas Eve.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…”
Millions heard it. The world didn’t collapse. Science didn’t shatter. The mission succeeded.
Funny how the guys literally orbiting the Moon never got the “faith equals dumb” memo.
Real faith lasts under pressure while the “Christians are anti-science” stereotype crumbles.
The same people who mock believers as backward rubes have no answer for the long line of men and women of faith who have pushed the frontiers of science and exploration precisely because they believed the universe was orderly, intelligible, and created by a rational God.
From the Apollo 8 crew reading Genesis to Victor Glover carrying Scripture and communion into lunar orbit, the pattern is clear.
The more some people see of the cosmos, the more convinced they become that it didn’t just happen by accident.
This is what real faith looks like.
Not the version that hides from hard questions or fears the data.
The version that looks at the Earth from 240,000 miles away and sees the hand of the Creator even more clearly.
The version that carries a Bible into space because the same God who hung the stars is the same God who hung on the cross.
To every atheist who loves to trot out the “anti-science” insult. The evidence keeps stacking up against you. The men and women who have actually left the planet and looked back don’t seem to agree with your narrative.
And to every believer who’s ever been mocked for holding both faith and reason, keep going. Keep exploring. Keep speaking truth when they ask.
The King who set the stars in place is the same King who rose from the grave.
He is risen.
He is risen indeed.
All glory to the King who made the heavens and the earth, and who still calls men and women of faith to the very edge of it.
No one comes out of a broken marriage and feels happy, no matter how it ended. Divorce is the death of something real, something you built, something you believed in.
It hurts. It leaves a gap. It changes you.
But life does not end there.
At some point, you have to stand up again. Not because you feel ready, but because you are still here. Still breathing. Still capable of building something new.
You may not be the same person you were before, and that’s fine. You’ve seen more, you’ve learned more, you’re wiser now.
Take what it taught you. Leave what broke you.
And move forward.

Artemis II Astronaut Victor Glover gave an inspiring speech about how special life is on Earth and how we should all appreciate it and those who live on it with us! 👇👇👇👇
So the problems on this mission were:
- broken toilet
- Outlook not working
- unable to pair a Bluetooth device
- communication with a vessel that's 20m away
