He Brought Me Up: Finding Motivation When Life Feels Stuck

Have you ever felt like life is just not moving forward?

Like every time you try to climb out of a dark place, something pulls you back in? Maybe you're feeling like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not forgotten.

Psalm 40 is a chapter that speaks to those exact moments. It begins with these words: “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”

David, the writer, was no stranger to hardship. He talks about being in a horrible pit and miry clay — a symbol of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or spiritually low. But what happened next? “He brought me up... and set my feet upon a rock.”

God is still lifting people today. He is still hearing our cries.

Even when it feels like nothing is changing, God is preparing your breakthrough behind the scenes.

Maybe you feel alone, tired, or unsure of what’s next. But friend, I want to encourage you today:

Keep waiting on God. He hasn't forgotten you. He hasn't given up on you. Your steps are still ordered, even when they feel uncertain.

Let Psalm 40 remind you that:

God hears your cries.

He is strong enough to lift you.

Your story will inspire someone else’s faith.

You may feel like giving up — but don't. Your miracle may be in the next moment of praise.

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God Recently, I had a dream that I believe holds a significant message not only for myself but for many others. I feel led to share this dream with you, as I believe it serves as a spiritual wake up call–a reminder of the urgency of walking in the truth and seeking the Kingdom of God. In this dream, I found myself in a large classroom filled with 30 or more adults. The atmosphere was serious, almost as if everyone was waiting for something important to happen. At the front of the classroom, there was a door that led to a small, enclosed room. I stepped into that room, and with me was a man, though I couldn’t clearly identify who he was. In my hand, I was holding four large wooden dowels. These dowels were about 12 inches long and colored similarly to chico sticks — bright and attention - grabbing. I kept turning to the man beside me, telling him, “You tell them,” as if I was unsure of delivering the message myself. But each...

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...

America Wake Up!

America, Wake Up: Preparing for an Uncertain Future Major changes are happening in America, and if you haven’t been paying attention, now is the time to wake up. With the new administration in power, significant cuts are being made to essential programs such as food stamps, housing assistance, and medical aid. Millions of Americans who have relied on these services may soon find themselves without support, leaving many struggling to survive. The question is: are you ready for what’s coming? The System is Changing—Are You? For decades, many have depended on government assistance to make ends meet. However, as policies shift, these safety nets are shrinking. Qualifying for housing is becoming increasingly difficult, with landlords demanding high credit scores and income three times the rent. Healthcare costs continue to rise, and food assistance programs are being scaled back. The message is clear: relying on the system is no longer a safe bet. It’s time to take control of your fut...
