The world is full of questions, but where do we turn for the answers that truly matter? Google may provide information, but only Jesus provides truth. In John 14:6, Jesus tells us, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” If you’re searching for direction, purpose, or meaning, look to Him. And if you already know the answer—don’t be afraid to share it.

A blocked water pipe in England made headlines when the culprit was revealed—a duck! Sometimes, our spiritual lives get blocked, too. Psalm 51:12 reminds us to seek the restoration of joy in our salvation. Are there things blocking your spiritual flow? Take inventory, clear the obstacles, and let God’s generous Spirit refresh you. #JoyOfSalvation #SpiritualRefresh #UnblockTheFlow

In life, we often worry about tomorrow, but Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:34 that God provides for our needs. Just as President Truman declared, “The buck stops here,” Jesus says the same—trust in Him, and He will take care of you. Whatever you’re facing, hold on to this truth: God will provide.

Jesus marveled at faith twice—once in great belief and once in great unbelief. What if our faith was so strong that Jesus would marvel at it? Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that faith is essential to pleasing God. Let’s strive to live a life of faith that amazes Him.

Faith isn’t about what we can see—it’s about being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we don’t see. Hebrews 11 reminds us of those who believed before the promise was fulfilled. Just like Thomas had to see to believe, we are called to trust even when we can’t see. Take bold steps of faith, knowing God is in control.
