Living In The Word #RTTBROS #Nightlight Living in the Word: A 30-Day Challenge to Transform Your Bible Reading "I have more wisdom than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation." - Psalm 119:99 Have you ever felt overwhelmed trying to read through the Bible? Or perhaps you start Genesis with good intentions but get stuck in Leviticus? Today, I want to share a remarkable Bible reading system that has transformed countless lives, including its creator who went from being a new believer to a respected Bible teacher without any formal training. The system is beautifully simple yet profound: read 10 chapters per day, one from each of 10 different lists. Each list contains different types of biblical books - Gospels, Law, Psalms, Wisdom Literature, etc. By reading across these different sections daily, something amazing happens - Scripture begins to interpret Scripture in fresh ways. You'll start seeing connections you never noticed before, like the parallels between Ecclesiastes and 2 Corinthians, or how Deuteronomy illuminates Matthew. Don't let the "10 chapters" intimidate you! Most people complete their daily reading in about 35-40 minutes, and your speed naturally improves over time. The goal isn't deep study of each verse, but rather to let God's Word wash over you consistently, creating a framework for deeper understanding. Challenge: Will you commit to trying this system for just 30 days? Here's what you'll experience: - A fresh perspective on familiar passages - Unexpected connections across Scripture - Growing confidence in your Bible knowledge - Most importantly, a deeper relationship with God through His Word Remember, this isn't about checking boxes or feeling guilty if you miss a day. It's about developing a habit of dwelling richly in God's Word. As Professor Horner, the system's creator, experienced - a well-worn Bible often reflects a well-nourished soul. Prayer: Lord, give us a hunger for Your Word and the discipline to feast on it daily. Help us commit to this challenge not out of duty, but out of desire to know You more deeply through Your Word. Amen. Ready to start? Download the 10 lists and place your bookmarks. Your journey to a deeper walk with God through His Word begins today! Find the backstory on how the plan was created and the 10 lists here. https://sohmer.net/media/professor_grant_horners_bible_reading_system.pdf Online Text version https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-reading-plan/prof-horners-reading-system.html Audio version I'm using the Bible App by YouVersion.com.

Wax On Wax Off #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Wax On, Wax Off of Scripture "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." - Hebrews 5:14 Much like young Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid, we often find ourselves questioning the seemingly mundane tasks before us. Daniel spent days waxing cars, painting fences, and sanding floors - activities that appeared disconnected from his desire to learn karate. His frustration grew with each repetitive motion, unaware that Mr. Miyagi was ingeniously building muscle memory for fundamental karate moves. The Old Testament can feel similarly perplexing. As we read through lengthy genealogies, detailed ceremonial laws, and ancient battles, we might wonder, "What does this have to do with my Christian walk?" Yet, just as Daniel's apparently meaningless chores were actually martial arts training in disguise, these Old Testament passages lay crucial groundwork for understanding God's grand narrative. Consider the tabernacle instructions in Exodus, painstakingly detailed down to the last cubit and thread. At first glance, they might seem irrelevant to modern Christianity. However, when we reach Hebrews, these details suddenly illuminate profound truths about Christ's role as our High Priest and the significance of His sacrifice. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect." - Hebrews 10:1 The Old Testament serves as our "wax on, wax off" training. Each story of redemption, each prophecy, and each law builds our spiritual muscles for recognizing God's character and His plan of salvation. When we finally reach the New Testament, these foundational movements snap into focus, revealing their true purpose in Christ. Just as Mr. Miyagi knew the value of building proper fundamentals before teaching advanced techniques, God in His wisdom gave us the Old Testament as essential preparation for understanding the fullness of Christ's ministry. The patient study of these ancient texts develops our spiritual discernment, allowing us to better grasp the deeper truths of the New Testament. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." - John 5:39 Let us approach the Old Testament with renewed patience and trust, knowing that like Daniel's seemingly pointless tasks, these scriptures are carefully designed to prepare us for deeper understanding. Each reading strengthens our spiritual muscles, readying us for the moment when, like Daniel's revelation about Mr. Miyagi's methods, we see how it all connects to Christ.

Sherpa Training #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Called to be a Sherpa" "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." - Hebrews 4:15 (KJV) High in the Himalayas, Sherpas guide climbers through treacherous paths they've traversed countless times before. Born and raised in the shadow of Mount Everest, their bodies have adapted to the thin air that leaves others gasping. These remarkable guides don't just climb for personal glory – they climb to lead others safely through dangers they've already mastered. How often do we question God when facing our own personal Everests? We see only the harsh winds of trial, the biting cold of adversity, and the treacherous crevasses of doubt. Yet our Lord, in His infinite wisdom, may be preparing us not merely to reach the summit, but to become spiritual Sherpas for others who will face similar climbs. Just as Christ Himself descended into human flesh to experience our struggles, He allows us to traverse difficult paths not only for our own growth but so we might guide others through similar valleys. The apostle Paul understood this when he wrote, "Blessed be God, even the Father of our mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 KJV) Like the Sherpa's lungs that have adapted to thin mountain air, our spirits grow stronger through each trial. The darkness we've walked through becomes a lamp for others, our stumbles become wisdom to share, and our victories become testimonies of God's faithfulness. The mountain didn't just make us stronger – it equipped us to guide others home. Prayer: Heavenly Father, help us see our trials not just as personal mountains to climb, but as training grounds to become guides for others. Give us the wisdom to use our experiences to light the way for those who follow. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Difference #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Understanding Through His Eyes" "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered." - 1 Peter 3:7 (KJV) The young man stood perplexed in his girlfriend's bathroom, examining a mysterious metal device. Having grown up in a household of men, this eyelash curler might as well have been an artifact from another world. Yet this moment of confusion carries a profound spiritual truth about marriage and understanding. When God instructs husbands to "dwell with them according to knowledge," He calls us to step beyond our own experiences and truly understand our wives. Just as that eyelash curler represented a world unknown to a man raised among brothers, our spouses carry perspectives, experiences, and needs that may seem foreign to us. Too often, we project our own expectations onto others, assuming they should think, feel, and act as we do. But the Lord's wisdom in 1 Peter 3:7 reminds us that true unity in marriage comes through understanding, not assumption. Just as Christ took on flesh to fully understand our human experience, we must endeavor to understand our spouses' worlds. The command to dwell "according to knowledge" isn't merely about gathering information – it's about developing genuine insight into our spouse's heart, mind, and daily life. Whether it's an unfamiliar bathroom tool or a different way of processing emotions, each discovery is an opportunity to grow in knowledge and love. Prayer: Lord, grant us the humility to acknowledge what we don't know and the wisdom to learn. Help us see through our spouse's eyes and love them as You love Your church. Amen.

weFrom Pain To Purpose #RTTBROS #Nightlight In John chapter 4, we encounter one of the most profound examples of evangelism in Scripture – Jesus' meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well. This divine appointment reminds us that the most significant aspect of our existence is whether we have encountered Jesus Christ and what we do with that encounter. The text tells us that Jesus "must needs go through Samaria," indicating this was no chance meeting but a deliberately orchestrated moment by God Himself. The narrative reveals Jesus' masterful approach to evangelism. Rather than beginning with condemnation, He initiates a conversation about something as simple as water. This teaches us that meaningful spiritual conversations often begin with genuine human connection. Jesus demonstrates that we must be willing to cross social, cultural, and religious boundaries to reach others with the Gospel, just as He – a Jewish man – spoke with a Samaritan woman, breaking multiple cultural taboos of His time. The woman's life story is marked by rejection and pain, having had five husbands and currently living with a man who wasn't her husband. Yet Jesus doesn't approach her with judgment but with grace and truth. As the sermon points out, this woman likely wasn't living a life of wanton abandon but rather had experienced repeated rejection and abandonment by the men in her life. Jesus saw beyond her circumstances to her deep spiritual need, teaching us that every broken life story can become a testimony of God's redemptive power. Scripture tells us in Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Our pain points, our struggles, and even our failures can become bridges of ministry to others who are experiencing similar trials. Just as those with physical ailments can relate to others with the same condition, our spiritual and emotional wounds can create pathways of ministry and understanding. The sermon emphasizes that salvation doesn't happen by osmosis – we must open our mouths and speak. As it is written in Romans 10:14, "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?" Each believer is called to be an evangelist, sharing their faith with those around them. We cannot delegate this responsibility solely to church leadership; it is a calling for every Christian. Jesus teaches us that true worship must be "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). This reminds us that religion without relationship is empty. We can attend church regularly, read our Bibles daily, and still miss the transformative power of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The sermon powerfully emphasizes that what matters is not how many hours we've logged in church, but whether we have had that definitive moment of yielding our lives to Christ. When discussing salvation, Jesus didn't allow Himself to be sidetracked by theological debates about worship locations or religious traditions. Similarly, we must learn to keep our evangelistic conversations focused on the central issue – a person's relationship with Jesus Christ. While other questions and discussions may be important, they should never overshadow the primary message of salvation through Christ alone. The sermon reminds us that God often creates divine appointments – moments when He specifically places us in someone's path to share the Gospel. Just as Jesus met the woman at the well at noon, when she would be alone and more receptive to conversation, God orchestrates opportunities for us to share our faith. The question is whether we will be obedient to these divine promptings or let fear of rejection hold us back. One powerful point made in the sermon is that we must go where the lost are. Just as Jesus went to Samaria, and just as the preacher went to the bar to reach Phil Robertson (of Duck Dynasty fame)…

The Art Of Subtraction #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Art of Subtraction: Finding Life's Sweet Spot "Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away." - Proverbs 4:14-15 KJV Recently, I heard about a gardener who was asked the secret to growing such beautiful plants. His answer struck me with its profound simplicity: "I just remove anything that stops them from growing." This wisdom resonated deeply with my own journey of growth and purpose. Then I recalled my pastor mentor's practical insight: "You can have a good life and a good ministry if you just don't do dumb stuff." His words, though humorous, carry the same truth as the gardener's - sometimes the path to success is more about what we avoid than what we pursue. Like Solomon in Ecclesiastes, I've learned that life's greatest wisdom often lies in recognizing and avoiding dead-end streets. I've discovered that my most significant growth hasn't come from adding more activities or pursuits, but from intentionally eliminating those things that hinder my progress. Just as a gardener doesn't need to teach a plant how to grow - it knows inherently - I've realized that my role is often simply to remove the obstacles that block my natural development in God's plan. Whether it's unhealthy relationships, time-wasting habits, or draining commitments, each "pruning" creates space for new growth. Prayer: Father, give me discernment to recognize and courage to remove those things in my life that obstruct my growth toward Your purposes. Help me see clearly which paths to avoid and which to pursue. Amen. Today's Challenge: Identify one "dead-end street" in your life that's consuming resources without producing growth.

Hidden In God #RTTBROS #Nightlight Hidden In God: Finding Peace in a World of Chaos "Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah." - Psalm 32:7 (KJV) A small town in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, decided to erect a large black screen to block the view of Mount Fuji from a popular photo spot near a Lawson convenience store. This measure was taken to manage the issue of overtourism and the disruptive behavior of tourists who were flocking to the area to capture photos with Mount Fuji in the background. The phenomenon had become known as "Mount Fuji Lawson." The screen, which is over 8 feet high and 65 feet long, was completed in May 2024, following unsuccessful attempts with other measures such as signs and security guards to control the crowds. While this may seem extreme, it reflects a deeper human desire: the need for sanctuary. Just as residents sought peace from overwhelming crowds, we too seek refuge from life's constant demands. This parallels our spiritual journey. The psalmist David understood that true peace isn't found in hiding from our problems, but in hiding in God Himself. When David writes "Thou art my hiding place," he reveals that God isn't just a temporary shelter, but our eternal sanctuary. Consider how Mount Fuji still stands, majestic and unmoved, behind that screen. Similarly, God's presence remains constant, regardless of our circumstances. While the Japanese town's solution was to block the view, God invites us to draw closer, promising to "compass" us about with songs of deliverance. Today's Challenge: Instead of erecting barriers between yourself and life's challenges, seek refuge in God's presence. Let Him be your hiding place, your Mount Fuji, standing strong and unchanging amidst life's storms. Prayer: Father, like David, we acknowledge You as our hiding place. When life overwhelms us, teach us to find our peace not in avoiding problems, but in dwelling in Your presence. Amen.

Final Words #RTTBROS #Nightlight Final Words: A Meditation on Matthew 28:18-20 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." - Matthew 28:18-20 Just as a parent's last words before leaving home carry special weight, Christ's final commission to His disciples bears eternal significance. After His resurrection, Jesus could have emphasized many things – His triumph over death, His vindication as Messiah, or His imminent return to glory. Instead, He focused on our mission. His command begins with authority – "All power is given unto me" – establishing why we should heed these words. Like a father whose instructions stem from responsibility and love, Jesus speaks from His position as Lord of heaven and earth. The commission itself is active: go, teach, baptize. These aren't mere suggestions but vital instructions for those left to carry on His work. Consider how a dying parent might grasp their child's hand and impart their most crucial life lessons – Jesus similarly entrusts His followers with spreading His teachings to all nations. But notice His closing promise: "I am with you always." Like a parent assuring children they're just a phone call away, Christ promises His constant presence even as He departs physically. This transforms His commission from a burden into a shared mission with our ever-present Lord. Prayer: Lord, help us treat Your final commission with the gravity it deserves. May we recognize these words as our primary mission, knowing You are with us as we fulfill it. Amen. Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros…

Seeker In The Shadows JOHN 3 #RTTBROS #nightlight A Seeker in the Shadows: Meeting Jesus in the Night "The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." - John 3:2 KJV In the stillness of night, when the world grows quiet and our hearts are most vulnerable, sometimes we find ourselves seeking answers to life's deepest questions. Such was the case with Nicodemus, a learned man of the Pharisees, who chose the cover of darkness to approach Jesus with his burning questions. Like Nicodemus, many of us approach God with our intellect first. We try to understand the divine through the lens of human wisdom, attempting to grasp the infinite with our finite minds. Yet Jesus's response to this respected religious leader was not a theological discourse but a profound truth that transcended human understanding: "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3 KJV). This encounter teaches us several vital truths about our relationship with God: First, God meets us where we are. Whether we come in broad daylight like the Samaritan woman at the well, or in the shadows like Nicodemus, God welcomes sincere seekers. Our timing and circumstances don't diminish His willingness to engage with us. Second, human wisdom alone cannot grasp divine truth. Nicodemus, despite his extensive religious education, struggled to understand the concept of being born again. Sometimes our greatest obstacle to experiencing God's truth is our attempt to fully comprehend it with our limited understanding. Third, salvation is not about intellectual assent or religious performance. Jesus made it clear that entering God's kingdom requires a supernatural transformation - being born of water and of the Spirit. This new birth is not achieved through human effort but received through faith in Christ's finished work on the cross. Just as Moses lifted up the bronze serpent in the wilderness for the healing of God's people, Jesus was lifted up on the cross for our salvation. The simplicity of "look and live" remains God's method of salvation - not through complex theological understanding or religious ritual, but through simple faith in Christ's sacrifice. The beautiful truth is that salvation is available to all who believe, regardless of their background, intelligence, or social status. As Jesus declared, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16 KJV). Reflection Questions: 1. Like Nicodemus, what questions or doubts might be holding you back from fully embracing God's truth? 2. Are you trying to understand God's ways through human wisdom alone? How might you need to surrender your understanding to embrace His truth? 3. Have you experienced the new birth Jesus spoke of? If not, what's preventing you from taking that step of faith? Prayer: Heavenly Father, like Nicodemus, we often come to You with our questions and uncertainties. Help us to trust You even when we don't fully understand Your ways. Thank You for making salvation so simple that anyone can receive it through faith in Your Son. May we never let our human wisdom become a barrier to experiencing Your divine truth. In Jesus's name, Amen.…
Rooted #RTTBROS #Nightlight Rooted: Weathering the Storms of Life "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." - Psalm 1:3 (KJV) Corrie ten Boom, a woman who knew the bitter winds of hardship firsthand, wisely observed, "The tree on the mountain takes whatever the weather brings. If it has any choice at all, it is in putting down roots as deeply as possible." This simple analogy holds profound spiritual truth. Think of a tree perched high on a mountain. It's exposed to the elements – scorching sun, biting winds, torrential rain, and crushing snow. It has no control over the weather. It can't choose a gentle spring day over a violent winter storm. Its only defense, its only recourse, is to dig its roots deeper. This resonates deeply with our own lives. We, too, face storms. They may be the storms of illness, financial hardship, relationship breakdown, or spiritual doubt. Like the mountain tree, we don't get to choose which trials come our way. Life throws its weather at us, sometimes fiercely. So, what can we choose? We can choose where we put our roots. Are they shallow, easily uprooted by the first strong gust? Or are they deep, anchored in the solid rock of our faith? The Psalmist understood this. He paints a picture of the righteous man as a tree planted by the rivers of water. This tree isn't struggling to find sustenance. Its roots are reaching down to a constant source of life, nourishment, and strength. This is the key! Our "rivers of water" are found in a deep relationship with God, in His Word, and in prayer. Just as the tree on the mountain focuses on deepening its roots, we must focus on deepening our connection with God. When we are rooted in Him, we can withstand any storm. Our "leaf also shall not wither," meaning our spirit will remain vibrant even in adversity. And even more astonishing, "whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." This doesn't necessarily mean worldly success, but a spiritual prosperity, a peace that passes all understanding, a strength that carries us through. Consider Matthew 7:24-25 (KJV): "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." Jesus uses the image of a house built on a rock foundation. This rock is Christ, our firm foundation. When we build our lives on Him, we become like that mountain tree, deeply rooted and able to withstand any storm. Let us, therefore, focus less on changing the weather around us and more on deepening our roots in the unwavering love and grace of God. For in Him, we will find the strength to weather any storm and the nourishment to flourish, even on the most challenging mountain top.

Real Rest #RTTBROS #Nightlight Finding Rest in God's Presence "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28 (KJV) In our fast-paced world, rest seems like an elusive treasure. We chase after it in vacations, weekends, and moments of solitude, yet true rest often remains just beyond our grasp. Physical rest, while important, only addresses part of our deep need for renewal. The invitation in Matthew 11:28 reveals a profound truth: genuine rest isn't found in a place or activity, but in a Person. Jesus doesn't merely offer a temporary pause from life's demands; He promises soul-deep restoration that comes from drawing near to Him. This rest isn't passive - it's an active engagement with God's presence. When we "come unto" Him, we're not just taking a spiritual break. We're exchanging our burdens for His peace, our striving for His sufficiency, our exhaustion for His strength. This divine exchange transforms our understanding of rest from a fleeting respite to a continuous state of being, anchored in His unchanging character. Think about how a child rests peacefully in a parent's arms, completely at ease because they trust in that love and protection. Similarly, our rest in Christ comes from knowing we are held secure in His unfailing love and sovereign care. Today, whatever burdens you carry - whether visible to others or hidden in your heart - remember that true rest awaits in His presence. It's not about escaping your responsibilities but finding renewed strength and peace as you bring them to Him. Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach us to find our rest in You. Help us to release our burdens and trust in Your perfect care. May we experience the deep peace that comes only from dwelling in Your presence. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Power Book #RTTBROS #Nightlight 🔥 This Book Will Transform Your Life: Ancient Wisdom Backed by Modern Science 🔥 "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." - Psalm 119:11 (KJV) There's a profound truth in that old-time preacher's wisdom: "The Bible Will Keep You From Sin...Or Sin Will Keep You From The Bible." Today, we're not just taking their word for it - science has caught up with what those faithful servants of God knew all along. A groundbreaking study by the Center for Bible Engagement revealed something remarkable: just four days of Bible reading per week becomes a spiritual tipping point that dramatically transforms lives. The numbers tell a powerful story of liberation - people who engage with Scripture four or more times weekly are 57% less likely to struggle with alcohol, 68% less likely to engage in sexual relationships outside marriage, and 61% less likely to view pornography. The chains of gambling lose their grip too, with a 75% reduction. But here's where it gets even more exciting - it's not just about what falls away, but what rises up in its place. These same Bible readers are over three times more likely to share their faith and disciple others. Most remarkably, they're four times more likely to hide God's Word in their hearts through Scripture memorization. Think about that - four days. Not perfect attendance. Not hours upon hours of study. Just four purposeful encounters with God's Word each week. It's like crossing a spiritual Jordan River - on one side lies bondage to destructive habits, on the other, freedom and fruitfulness. Our ancestors didn't have these statistics, but they understood the principle: regular engagement with God's Word creates a protective hedge around our lives. When we fill our hearts with Scripture, sin finds less room to take root. But when we neglect this divine appointment, we leave our spiritual gardens unguarded. The choice is yours today. Will you let the Bible keep you from sin, or will you let sin keep you from the Bible? The data is clear, but more importantly, God's invitation is open. Four days. That's all it takes to start experiencing transformation. Your next appointment with God's Word could be the beginning of your breakthrough. Will you open the Book? Here are the effects of reading the Bible four times a week. Negative Behaviors: - Getting drunk: 57% lower odds - Sex outside marriage: 68% lower odds - Pornography: 61% lower odds - Gambling: 75% lower odds - Any of these habits: 57% lower odds Positive Behaviors: - Sharing faith with others: 228% higher odds - Discipling others: 231% higher odds - Memorizing Scripture: 407% higher odds Source: Center for Bible Engagement (CBE) study, 2009.* Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros…

Burn The Ships #RTTBROS #Nightlight # Burn the Ships "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) In 1519, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés made a bold and irreversible decision upon reaching the shores of Mexico - he ordered his men to burn their ships. This dramatic action left them with only two options: conquer or perish. There was no possibility of retreat, no plan B, no safety net. As believers, we often find ourselves standing on the shores of our own promised land, with one foot in our past and one in God's promise. We keep our "ships" intact - our backup plans, our comfort zones, our old habits - just in case things don't work out as we hoped. But God calls us to complete surrender. Consider Joshua and the Israelites crossing the Jordan River. "And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water... That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap" (Joshua 3:15-16 KJV). They had to step into the water before it parted. Faith required action. Sometimes, our ships represent relationships that pull us back into old sins, habits that keep us bound, or fears that prevent us from fully trusting God. These ships might look like job security that keeps us from stepping into ministry, or worldly comfort that prevents us from giving generously. The Lord declares, "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV). God is calling us to radical faith - faith that burns the ships of our past and steps fully into His promise. What ships are you keeping docked at the shore? What safety nets are preventing you from fully surrendering to God's plan? True faith often requires burning those ships - making a decisive break from the old to fully embrace the new life God has for us. Prayer: Heavenly Father, grant me the courage to burn the ships that keep me tethered to my past. Help me trust You completely, knowing that Your promises are greater than any worldly security. Give me the faith to step fully into the plans You have for my life, leaving no room for retreat. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Mountain Moving Faith #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Faith That Moves Mountains: Finding Strength in Life's Valleys" "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." - Mark 11:23 In our journey through life, we often find ourselves walking through valleys of loneliness, unanswered prayers, and overwhelming sorrows. B.B. McKinney's timeless hymn "Have Faith in God" speaks directly to these universal human experiences, offering a profound reminder of God's unchanging presence and power. The first verse addresses those moments when we feel isolated on our path. Like David in the wilderness, we may feel abandoned, yet McKinney reminds us that we are "never alone." This echoes the promise found in Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Perhaps the most challenging test of faith comes when heaven seems silent to our prayers. The second verse encourages us to "wait on the Lord," reflecting the wisdom of Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." In these moments of silence, our faith grows deeper roots. When pain and sorrow overwhelm us, the third verse points to a compassionate God who is touched by our grief. This beautiful truth reflects 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Our sorrows are not insignificant to Him; they move His heart. The final verse triumphantly declares God's sovereignty even when everything else crumbles. Like Daniel who maintained his faith in a foreign land, we too can stand firm knowing that our God reigns eternally. His kingdom, as described in Daniel 7:14, "shall not be destroyed." Today, whatever mountain stands before you – be it loneliness, unanswered prayers, personal suffering, or widespread uncertainty – remember that faith in God is not just a suggestion but a lifeline. The chorus reminds us of an unchangeable truth: "He cannot fail, He must prevail." Let this hymn be more than just words on a page. Let it be your declaration of trust in the God who sits enthroned above every circumstance, who sees every tear, hears every prayer, and holds every tomorrow in His capable hands. Prayer: Heavenly Father, strengthen our faith when the path grows dark. Help us remember that You are sovereign over every situation, faithful in every promise, and present in every moment. May we, like Abraham, be "strong in faith, giving glory to God" (Romans 4:20). In Jesus' name, Amen. Have Faith In God B. B. McKinney, 1886-1952 Verse 1 Have faith in God when your pathway is lonely, He sees and knows all the way you have trod; Never alone are the least of His children; Have faith in God, have faith in God. Chorus Have faith in God, He’s on His throne; Have faith in God, He watches o’er His own; He cannot fail, He must prevail; Have faith in God, have faith in God. Verse 2 Have faith in God when your prayers are unanswered, Your earnest plea He will never forget; Wait on the Lord, trust His Word and be patient, Have faith in God, He’ll answer yet. Verse 3 Have faith in God in your pain and your sorrow, His heart is touched with your grief and despair; Cast all your cares and your burdens upon Him, And leave them there, oh, leave them there. Verse 4 Have faith in God though all else fail about you; Have faith in God, He provides for His own; He cannot fail though all kingdoms shall perish, He rules, He reigns upon His throne.
