The book of Habakkuk is a very short book in the Bible. Habakkuk was a prophet called to awaken Judah to their wickedness and warn them of the impending judgment. The book itself recounts a conversation between God and Habakkuk. The book explores God’s justice, faithfulness, and sovereignty. Habakkuk wrestles with profound questions, such asContinue reading “In Wrath, Have Mercy”

In the Night
The nights are challenging for me. I’m a very light sleeper and borderline insomniac. I also struggle with nighttime anxiety. Despite taking medication and staying consistent with exercise, some nights I find myself lying awake, unable to sleep—especially if one of my dogs wakes me up. Then, depending on where my mind takes me, IContinue reading “In the Night”
My Good Works
The Scriptures are rich with reminders and commands for us to remember God, but they also include numerous examples of individuals asking God to remember. These requests often focus on God’s promises, His character, or specific circumstances in their lives. Figures like David, Moses, Abraham, Nehemiah, and Hezekiah — among many others — specifically petitionedContinue reading “My Good Works”
The Mountain of Prayer
Repeatedly in the Gospels, Jesus went to the mountains to pray. Isolating Himself, Jesus spent time in those mountains focusing solely on His communication with God. And after Jesus had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone…(Matt. 14:23) There is no better example ofContinue reading “The Mountain of Prayer”
Below the Mountains
I love the story of Jonah. Not because he is this inspiring hero or because of the whale but because Jonah’s story is so human. God tasked Jonah to preach repentance to the people of Ninevah (the enemies of the people of God). Jonah wanted nothing to do with that. Knowing God’s nature, Jonah knewContinue reading “Below the Mountains”
Look to the Mountains

It reads I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not letContinue reading “Look to the Mountains”
Formed By God’s Power
The mountains are breathtaking. They are ancient. As John Denver wrote, life is old there, older than the trees. It is no wonder ancient societies either worshipped or worshipped at the feet of mountains. They reach up to the skies and go deep into the earth. Mountains remind us that we are but mere smallContinue reading “Formed By God’s Power”
No Weapons Shall Prosper
As members of God’s army, we do not have to worry about any weapon the enemy will use against us. No weapon can stand against the armies of God. Isaiah declares: No weapon formed against you shall prosper,And every tongue which rises against you in judgmentYou shall condemn.This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,And their righteousness is from Me,”Says the Lord.Continue reading “No Weapons Shall Prosper”
Praying At All Times
At the end of Paul’s detailed description of the armor of God, he tells the Ephesians to pick up the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God, and pray at all times with the spirit, with all prayer and supplication… It is not enough to pick up the Sword of the SpiritContinue reading “Praying At All Times”
