🍁 Hello November — a new month, a fresh opportunity to draw closer to God and go deeper in His Word!

The November Bible Reading Schedule is here! 📖

As we enter this season of thanksgiving, let’s take time to reflect on the goodness of God and all He has done. One of the greatest ways we can grow in gratitude is by spending time in His Word, reminding ourselves of His faithfulness, His promises, and the truth that He is always worthy of our praise.

Whether you’ve been faithfully reading along or you’re just beginning, there is always more to discover in the Scriptures. Every chapter reveals something about the heart of God, His purposes, and His desire for us to know Him more intimately. As we read, our perspective changes, our faith grows stronger, and our hearts are reminded of the countless reasons we have to give thanks.

This November, let’s be intentional about making room for the Word of God. Even when life gets busy, let’s not allow the demands of the season to crowd out the One who deserves our attention. Let’s approach His Word with grateful hearts, eager to hear His voice, receive His wisdom, and grow in our understanding of His ways.

May this month be marked by a deeper appreciation for God's faithfulness, a renewed hunger for His Word, and a heart overflowing with thanksgiving. As we continue reading day by day and chapter by chapter, may we grow in faith, walk in truth, and become increasingly rooted in the promises of God.

Love and blessings, ❤️

✨ In a world filled with distractions and darkness, it's more important than ever to stand firm in our faith. Let’s choose light over darkness and not be blinded by the world’s temptations.

💡 As we navigate through days and times the enemy tries to throw darkness our way, remember the words of 1 John 1:5: “This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that GOD IS LIGHT, AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL.”(Caps mine)

Let’s strive to reflect His light today and be a beacon of hope to those around us! 🙏❤️

Your divine nature is engraved on my heart. You are restoring my inheritance to me. You alone are my inheritance, my source, my cup and it’s contents. You fill me and overflow. You are my portion. Everything I need and want is found in you. Keep my eyes on you so that I don’t look for lesser fulfillment in other people and things. The work I do, the goals I accomplish are through you, for you, which lead me back to you. I place and leave in perfect rest my destiny and it’s timing in your hands.

You are NEVER alone, even when it looks barren, empty, and alone.

You are commanded to be strong and courageous.

AND you can BE with God working IN you. He is IN you and He goes WITH you WHEREVER you go!
...... .... ....... .... ....... .... .......
Joshua 1:9 ESV -
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Have you ever seen the signs that point in all directions with names of cities and they tell you how far that city is in that direction? If you just look in whatever direction the arrow is pointing, somewhere down that path, far away, is the city.

Which Way?

Which one would you choose? Which one seems exciting or somewhere you've never been before or somewhere you've always wanted to go.

Jesus spoke to his disciples and had a conversation about a way, a direction, and a path for where they needed to go.

Jesus told them that they already knew THE WAY to the place where he was going. But Thomas said that they didn't know where He was going or even THE WAY to get there.

Jesus answered him, "I am THE WAY. I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me." (John 16:4 TPT)

Jesus tells Thomas 3 things:
Jesus is THE WAY
Jesus is the Truth
Jesus is the Life

Before you can get to Life, you must get to Truth. Before you get to Truth, you must know THE WAY.

Here, Jesus clearly tells the disciples that HE - JESUS - IS THE WAY. If they want to go where Jesus is going, then they have to follow JESUS, because HE IS THE WAY.

Jesus is the roadmap. He is the compass. He is the GPS. He is the instruction manual. HE is the BIBLE. He is the WORD. He is the direction.

Friends, we must find our way, but it is not our way, it is ONLY JESUS. We aren't to be lost and wondering around helplessly. If we fasten tightly to Jesus, then we have found THE WAY.

Just like the wooden planks that have been nailed to the post in this picture with bright colorful paint to show the way to the destination cities in this image, JESUS was nailed to a wooden post and He points us to God. JESUS is the only directional sign we need, the only arrow, the only gauge.
JESUS IS THE WAY.
____________
John 14:6 NKJV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Some days, prayer comes easily…

And other days, the battle is so heavy that finding the words feels difficult.

But what if prayer is more than something you do?
What if it becomes the very posture of your heart?

In Psalm 109:4, David makes a powerful declaration in the midst of opposition and accusation:

“I am prayer!”

David didn't allow the adversity around him to have the final word. He turned toward God.
What if, instead of allowing our circumstances to dictate our response, we learned to make prayer our response?

When the battle is difficult…
When the answers haven't come…
When you don't know what to say…

You can still turn to God.

This month's message is a reminder that prayer is more than a moment in our day. It is a lifestyle of communion with God, dependence on Him, and trust in His faithfulness.

Don't just make prayer something you do.
Let prayer become the way you live.
