Please read Joshua 1:8 before verse 9
God commanded Joshua like he commands us to be strong, courageous, not to be afraid, nor dismayed! You say, how can That be Stephen? Because God is with us and God is for us.! he will never leave us ❤️🙏🤗
You do not have to live in fear of spiritual contamination. The same spiritual law that makes a little bad leaven dangerous means a little bit of God's genuine truth, hidden in a willing heart, is completely unstoppable.
(Matthew 16:6, 13:33)
Imagine the Creator of the universe leaning over the battlements of heaven, casting His gaze across the earth. He isn’t looking for worldly success, flawless perfection, or the loudest accomplishments. The verse tells us exactly what catches His eye: an understanding heart that earnestly seeks Him.
In a world full of noise, distractions, and endless pursuits, it is incredibly easy to seek everything but God. We seek comfort, validation, answers, and security. Yet, God is scanning the earth for those who realize that He is the source of it all. To "understand" in this context isn't about having a high IQ; it’s about a spiritual awakening that realizes life makes no sense without the Creator.
When you seek God, you aren't playing a game of hide-and-seek with a distant deity. You are responding to a Father who is already looking for you, desiring to be found.
Today's Commitment
I will intentionally pause the rush of the world today to seek the face, the heart, and the presence of God above all else.
See you in church today on the Lord’s Day! Have a blessed day, my friend.
Our standing with God is secure in Christ’s righteousness—not in our performance or our feelings.
“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.” —
2 Peter 3:18
Because of this, we are free to grow with confidence and hope. God lovingly calls us forward—not to strive in our own strength, but to become more like Jesus as we walk in the Spirit. As we trust and obey His Word, He transforms us day by day.
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” — Psalm 12:6
As we walk in the Spirit and hold to His pure Word, we experience true peace, steady growth, and a deeper joy in Him.
We should sometimes fear to bring our troubles to God because they must seem small to him who sits on the circle of the earth. But if they are large enough to vex and endanger our welfare they are large enough to touch the heart of Love. R.A. Torrey
A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is the ultimate threat to financial privacy.
It would give the federal government unprecedented visibility and control over how Americans spend their money.

Let your daily choices be a silent testament to His truth, actively seeking to do what is right even when no one else is watching.
Strive to love others so intentionally that anyone who crosses your path experiences a genuine glimpse of God’s grace.
