As I shared in our weekly email, the word, know, has been coming up a lot in my studies through 2 Peter and 1 John. Many of us read that word and carry on with the basic understanding we have of it. Yet in Scripture, there are moments where the word know carries a much deeper meaning.

Something came up and challenged Michael and I. We were in our own little world, settled and enjoying life, when an fertility idea came up. An idea we hadn’t spoken about in a while. We had surrendered and gotten comfortable in our way of life.

As I stepped out of the chapel at the end, everything was quiet again. I looked up and saw the multitude of stars fill the sky in a brilliant array. I was captivated in awe, as the reminder of the Indescribable talk came to mind. Evidence of God was everywhere around me. Though my heart was still struggling and I was wrestling with the Lord about so many things, He continued to break down the barriers and woo my heart for Him.

Even though my birthday was during lockdown, I wasn’t worried. I knew that we’d still be able to make the day fun. Michael went above and beyond to make it special for me. I didn’t even think about COVID. It ended up being one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had.

Have you noticed that God often reveals a characteristic of Himself to you in various seasons of your life? He likes to intimately show you something of Himself so that it will stick with you in life, drawing you closer to the Lord and instilling Jesus’ character within you…

Thank you to Christine for courageously sharing her husband’s and her story through Infertility. Please take some time to read this and be encouraged by how God works in the unknowns.

“Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. He is now waiting until His enemies are made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified” – Hebrews 10:11-14

Let’s celebrate and be hopeful for all that God’s got in store. Let’s dedicate our finances to Him this year and see what He does. It may surprise you.

We have a lot to learn from the faithful people that have gone before us. They certainly had their flaws. That’s humanity. We are not infallible. However, we serve a God and King that is. Our faith can grow like our forefathers and mothers did. We can make great strides for Christ as well. Find out how Abraham did as we continue to take a look into Hebrews 11
