Day 5 – You Provide the Faith
1 Kings 17:9 – “Arise, go to Zarephath…I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” It would be an odd thing for God to tell you that He’s done something, but then when you show up and it’s not be done. Why would He say He’s done it if it looks and sounds […]

Day 3 – A Man of Humility
1 Kings 17:1 – “….there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” Only a few people have the ability to possess much power. Most people allow power to possess them into a place of character corruption. That happened to one we all know well. Power emanated from him is […]

Day 1 – A Nobody into Somebody
1 Kings 17:1 – “Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Gilead the settlers, said to Ahab…” There are some people in history that you hear little about, but what you do hear is a big deal. Like nuns. You hear little about Catholic Nuns. There was one nun you’ve probably heard about. A little Albanian […]
Day 20 – The Curtain’s Closed
Matt. 27:59-60 – “And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and placed it in his new tomb…” It’s hard to hold out for a miracle. It’s tough to wait on God’s divine timing. It’s trying to believe what God said when the avenue for your miracle lays dead. […]
Day 19 – A Bad/Good Friday
John 19:16 – “Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified.” One of the hardest days recorded in human history. The day the Son of God gave His life for all humanity. It’s easy to take one’s life, but it’s not so easy to give one’s life. A life that died for […]
Day 18 – Giving Thanks
Matt. 26:26-28 – “As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take eat; this is My body. Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them and said, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of […]

John 12:44 – “Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in me believes not in Me, but in the Him who sent Me.” No matter who tries to describe it, no one can clearly articulate it to the degree that it deserves. I’m talking about the Passion of Christ. A previous (verse 37) gives […]
