Please read Deuteronomy 33. you ever walked into something new and wondered if you were ready? A new job, a hard conversation, or a season you didn't see coming?
Moses blesses the tribes of Israel before his death. They are about to enter the promised land but Moses isn’t going
Sometimes I spend so much energy trying to figure everything out that I forget who is holding me. God doesn't promise that every new season will be easy. But we can bring our fears to Him and trust His character, even when we don't know what comes next.
Hey friends, let’s read Deuteronomy 32 today. Have you ever let your circumstances determine what you believe about God? When things are going well, trusting Him feels easy. When life gets hard, the questions start coming. Why, God? How could you, God? Where are you, God?
Who are you counting on to hold you steady?
We can bring God our questions, our frustration, and our fear. We can be honest with Him about what we don’t understand and still trust His goodness.

The cross is an anchor for our souls. It reveals how deeply God loves us, how He can use even our worst circumstances for eternal good. I am eternally grateful that God is working on a canvas bigger than we can see or understand.

• 1 Peter 2:24
He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you who believe have been healed.

Whatever you’re facing today, bring your questions, pain, and uncertainty to Jesus. You don’t have to have everything figured out to find hope in Him.
In the midst of our brokenness and chaos, God gave us the greatest expression of His love through Jesus Christ. Hear my grandfather @BillyGraham share this powerful reminder of God’s love and the hope we can find in Him, no matter what we face.

Hey friends! Please read Deuteronomy 31. Who believed in you before you believed in yourself? Maybe a coach, a teacher, or a friend. Their encouragement probably meant more than they realized.
Moses prepares Joshua to lead Israel. In front of the people, he tells Joshua to be
…called ME to do that I overlook the people He’s asking me to encourage.
A conversation, a prayer, or a simple “I see how God is working in you” could help someone. Sometimes people need help recognizing how God has gifted them and taking their next step of faith.
Jesus models a trust in God that is almost insane. He trusts God is still good, God is going to care for his spirit, and he declares it out loud before all those watching their Messiah die a brutal death on a cross.
Let’s express our trust in God today. If you don’t trust God…
When I was Muslim, man, this verse used to mess me up.
Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
As a Muslim, I used to think: how does God feel forsaken by God? That sounds like weakness. That sounds like a prophet in pain.
But then I dug deeper.
And I realized Jesus was not speaking randomly. He was quoting Psalm 22.
That entire Psalm, written by King David centuries before Christ, is a prophecy about the crucifixion:
“They pierce my hands and feet.”
“They divide my garments among them.”
“All who see me mock me.”
In Jewish culture, quoting the first line of a Psalm pointed people to the entire passage.
So Jesus was not crying out in confusion.
He was declaring fulfillment.
He was saying: “This is that.”
And at the same time, He was carrying the full weight of sin, shame, abandonment, and suffering for humanity.
Every moment humanity has cried out, “God, where are you?” Christ stepped into that pain Himself.
That is not weakness.
That is intentional.
That is prophecy unfolding in real time.
That is the King bleeding on purpose so humanity could be brought near to God.
That is the Gospel.
Hey y'all! Read Deuteronomy 30 today. As Moses prepares Israel to enter the promised land, he calls them to love God, obey Him, and hold firmly to Him. Seems simple enough. What does this practically look like, though?
I was saying, “God, I give you my life! But let me keep taking care of THIS part. You can have the rest, though!”
God wants it all. There’s a line in the song “What a God” by SEU Worship that has stuck with me: “God, you are my everything.”
