Today, we step into the center of God's prophetic stage: Israel. If you want to know where we are on God's timeline—look at Jerusalem. Look at the headlines. Look at the land God promised. Israel isn't a side note. She's the second hand on the prophetic clock.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves.” — Zechariah 12:3 (ESV)God is not done with Israel. Despite centuries of persecution, exile, and war—Israel remains, because God keeps His promises.Zechariah prophesied a time when Jerusalem would be a burdensome stone to the nations—a flashpoint of global tension. That day is now. You can hardly go a week without hearing Jerusalem's name on the news. Why? Because the spiritual battle over that land is intensifying.The Church doesn't replace Israel. The Church is grafted in—a wild olive branch added to a covenant already established. That covenant with Abraham? Still valid. Still active. Still central to what God is doing today.Prophecy revolves around Israel. Jesus will return to Jerusalem. The final battle will rage around Zion. The restoration of Israel is not just historical—it's prophetic.If you remove Israel from end-times teaching, you unravel the thread of God's redemptive timeline.So don't be surprised when the world turns against Israel. Don't be swayed by rising antisemitism. Stand with what God stands for. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem—not just politically, but spiritually.Question of the Day:How does your view of Israel reflect or resist God's covenantal promises?Mini Call to Action:Today, pray Psalm 122:6 aloud: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they be secure who love you!” Then write down one reason Israel still matters to your faith today.Let's Pray:God, thank You for Your covenant with Israel. Give me understanding and reverence for Your promises. Keep me aligned with Your Word—not worldly opinion. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Prophecy has a zip code. It's Jerusalem. Keep your eyes there—and your heart in tune with God's eternal plan.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Today, we step into the most misunderstood, most avoided, and yet most powerful prophetic book in the Bible—Revelation. It's not about dragons and doom. It's a revealing of Jesus Christ in His full glory. And it was written for us, not to confuse us.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” — Revelation 1:3 (ESV)This book isn't a puzzle meant to paralyze you. It's a prophecy meant to prepare you. Revelation means “unveiling.” It's the pulling back of the curtain so we can see Jesus—not just as Savior—but as King, Judge, and Victorious Warrior.Yes, there are symbols. Yes, there's mystery. But this isn't a horror novel. It's a divine battle plan. And those who press in—those who read, hear, and obey—are blessed.The dragon, the beast, the scrolls, the bowls—they all point to one central truth: Jesus wins.So why do so many believers ignore this book? Fear. Confusion. Disinterest. But now's not the time to look away. Now's the time to let Revelation build endurance, urgency, and awe in your soul.You don't need a theology degree to understand Revelation. You need humility, the Holy Spirit, and a heart that's willing to listen.Don't let the enemy rob you of this blessing. Read it. Speak it aloud. Let it shape your prayers and sharpen your discernment.Question of the Day:What emotions surface when you read Revelation—and what might God be asking you to do with them?Mini Call to Action:Today, read Revelation chapter 1. Read it slowly. Ask God to speak. Then write down one truth about Jesus you see in that chapter.Let's Pray:Jesus, open my eyes to the power and beauty of Revelation. Help me not to fear the unknown but to embrace the revealing of Your victory. Make me ready. In Your name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The enemy wants to scare you away from Revelation. God wants to show you your role in the end. So open the book. Lean in. Let it change you.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

From Wall Street to Main Street, the latest on the markets and what it means for your money. Updated regularly on weekdays, featuring CNBC expert analysis and sound from top business newsmakers. Anchored by CNBC's Jessica Ettinger.

Today, we're diving into a topic that's been on the minds of many believers, especially those who study biblical prophecy: the signs of Jesus' return and their role in today's world. What does the Bible say about these signs? How do current events align with prophetic Scripture?Our springboard for today's discussion is:“So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.” — Matthew 24:33 (ESV)Jesus never told us to guess the day of His return. But He did command us to watch. And not just watch—but understand. Just like leaves on a fig tree reveal summer is near, the signs we're seeing today are no coincidence.Earthquakes. Wars. Nations rising against nations. False messiahs. Global unrest. Jesus wasn't giving us headlines—He was giving us a heartbeat. A rhythm. A signal that the end is not random—it's purposeful.You see, prophecy isn't about fear—it's about preparation. God doesn't reveal the end to scare His people but to prepare His bride. We're not called to look away—we're called to stay alert, grounded, and full of faith.If the signs are everywhere—and they are—then the real question is: Are we listening?Some mock. Some yawn. Some scroll past prophecy like it's background noise. But the spiritually awake will recognize the hour. They will tune out the noise of fear and tune in to the whisper of the Spirit.Question of the Day:What signs around you seem to echo Jesus' words in Matthew 24?Mini Call to Action:Today, open your Bible and read all of Matthew 24 aloud. Then ask the Holy Spirit to show you how those words apply to what's happening around you right now.Let's Pray:Lord, help me not to fall asleep in this prophetic hour. Help me to recognize the signs, not with fear, but with holy anticipation. Make me watchful, ready, and full of faith. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!God's not hiding His plan—He's revealing it. The question is, are your eyes open?My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

If you've ever stood in front of a mirror and struggled to like what you saw—or questioned if your life really has value—I want to remind you of something sacred: You are His workmanship. Not an afterthought. Not a fixer-upper. A masterpiece. The fingerprint of Heaven is on your life, and today, we're learning to see what God sees.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…” — Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)That word “workmanship” in Greek is poiēma—where we get the word “poem.” It means something crafted, something designed with beauty and intention. You're not a random collection of gifts, flaws, and quirks. You're a carefully written story authored by the Creator of the universe.God doesn't create junk. He doesn't mass-produce souls. He hand-forms. He sculpts. And when He made you, He stepped back and said, “It is good.”Here's the tragedy: We let the world graffiti God's artwork. We accept labels and criticisms from others and then question our worth. But the Artist—not the critics—gets to define the masterpiece.You are God's design.You are beautiful in His eyes.You were created for good works that only you can do.That means you don't need to copy anyone else's path. You don't have to chase what looks impressive. You were made with divine fingerprints and a divine purpose.Even your imperfections are tools in His hands. What you call “broken,” He calls “redeemable.” What you hide, He heals. And what you doubt, He declares worthy.Question of the Day:Do you see yourself as God's workmanship—or have you been believing what the world has said about you?Mini Call to Action:Today, write down one thing about yourself you've always disliked—and ask God to show you how He sees it. Let Him redefine it with grace.Let's Pray:Father, thank You for making me Your masterpiece. Help me to see myself through Your eyes. Heal the places where I've believed less, and teach me to walk in the beauty of who You created me to be. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Masterpieces don't compete—they reflect the Master.

There's not one of us who doesn't have a past. There are chapters we wish we could rewrite, seasons we wish we could erase. But here's the good news—God's grace doesn't just cover your story, it transforms it. You're not who you used to be. Grace has made you new. Let's talk about that miracle today.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain.” — 1 Corinthians 15:10 (ESV)Paul—the same man who once hunted Christians—wrote this verse. And instead of hiding his past, he declared: “By the grace of God, I am what I am.” He didn't pretend. He didn't deny his failure. But he also didn't let it define him.That's what grace does.Grace doesn't just say, “You're forgiven.”It says, “You're changed.”Your identity isn't shaped by where you've been—it's shaped by where Jesus is taking you.When you receive God's grace, you're not just covered—you're transformed. You're empowered to live differently. You start responding with compassion instead of pride. You see others through mercy, not judgment. You live with purpose instead of shame.And here's the beauty: His grace is never in vain. Even your broken pieces get redeemed. Even your biggest regrets can become part of your testimony.Don't resist grace. Don't reduce it to a “get out of jail free” card. Let it transform you. Let it make you someone new.Question of the Day:Have you truly let God's grace change how you see yourself—or are you still living like your past defines you?Mini Call to Action:Today, say this aloud: “By the grace of God, I am not who I was—I am becoming who He created me to be.” Write it. Speak it. Believe it.Let's Pray:Jesus, thank You for the grace that changes everything. Help me not only to receive it—but to live from it. Transform my heart, my thoughts, and my identity through Your mercy. Amen.Let's Get To Work!Grace doesn't erase your story—it redeems it.

Confidence isn't about puffing out your chest or having all the answers. Real confidence flows from knowing whose you are—even when you don't feel strong. Today is about walking with boldness—not arrogance—and standing in the strength that comes from God alone. Because when the Lord is your helper, you've got all you need.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'” — Hebrews 13:6 (ESV)Let's be honest—most of us wrestle with self-doubt at some level. We second-guess our decisions. We fear rejection. We wonder if we're equipped for what God's asked us to do.But here's the truth: confidence in the Kingdom isn't self-confidence—it's God-confidence.It's not about what you can do on your own—it's about what He can do through you.When you know the Lord is your helper, you walk differently. You speak with authority. You obey even when it's uncomfortable. Why? Because your strength isn't anchored to your own ability—it's rooted in a God who doesn't fail.Think about David standing before Goliath. He wasn't confident in his sling—he was confident in his God. His faith made him bold. Your identity in Christ is your license to walk with your head high and your feet firm.Confidence comes when you stop looking at yourself and start looking to Jesus.So, when you step into a room, remember—you're not walking in alone. God is with you. His Spirit lives in you. His Word guides you.That's more than enough.Question of the Day:Are you relying on your own strength—or walking in the confidence that comes from God being your helper?Mini Call to Action:Today, take one bold step you've been hesitating on. Speak, move, or act—not in fear, but in faith. The Lord is with you.Let's Pray:Lord, I choose to walk in confidence—not because of who I am, but because of who You are in me. Help me to trust You more deeply and act with courage today. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Stop shrinking back. Your confidence comes from a Helper who's never lost a battle.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

In the first hour of the show, Tobin takes shots at the ESPYs for showing no love to the Florida Panthers and how they glazed the Philadelphia Eagles. He wonders how the best team in sports get no love from the national media? They talk about Conor McGregor and Jon Jones hinting at returning back to the Octogan. Tobin and Leroy talk Miami Heat and what the starting lineup could look like? Will Andrew Wiggins or Norman Powell start? Will Ke'lel Ware or Niko Jovich start?

Let's be clear—this world is a battlefield. But too many believers are walking around like civilians when they've been commissioned as soldiers. Worse, they're living like victims when they've been given authority. If you're in Christ, you don't fight for victory—you fight from it. And today, we're reclaiming what Jesus already handed you.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” — Luke 10:19 (ESV)Jesus didn't just defeat the powers of darkness—He delegated His authority to you. That means when you pray, you don't whisper in hope—you declare in confidence. When the enemy comes against your family, you don't hide—you stand and speak with the authority of a son or daughter of God.Spiritual authority isn't arrogance. It's alignment. It's standing in agreement with what Heaven has already declared. It's knowing that when Jesus said “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me,” and then told us to “go,” He meant it.You have authority over fear, over temptation, over lies, over generational strongholds—not because of who you are, but because of who lives in you.The enemy wants you passive. He wants you silent. Because a believer who doesn't know their authority is no threat.But a believer who knows they've been seated with Christ? That's dangerous. That's world-shaking.Question of the Day:Are you walking in the spiritual authority Christ gave you—or living as if you're powerless?Mini Call to Action:Today, pray out loud over one area of your life where you've felt defeated. Speak the truth of Luke 10:19 and take your ground back.Let's Pray:Jesus, thank You for giving me spiritual authority. Forgive me for living beneath what You paid for. Teach me to speak, pray, and live like someone who carries Heaven's authority. In Your name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The enemy doesn't fear your strength. He fears your authority.

That's world-shaking.Question of the Day:Are you walking in the spiritual authority Christ gave you—or living as if you're powerless?Mini Call to Action:Today, pray out loud over one area of your life where you've felt defeated. Speak the truth of Luke 10:19 and take your ground back.Let's Pray:Jesus, thank You for giving me spiritual authority. Forgive me for living beneath what You paid for. Teach me to speak, pray, and live like someone who carries Heaven's authority. In Your name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The enemy doesn't fear your strength. He fears your authority.

What does "Joyful Non-Compliance" look like in today's world? In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts explore how faith intersects with politics, justice, and cultural challenges. Diving into Romans 12 and 13, they discuss the biblical posture of joyful, peaceful non-compliance, emphasizing the church's role in society as a force of love, justice, and truth. From the complexities of navigating immigration issues to the tension between idolatry and injustice in government, this conversation unpacks what it means to live out cruciformity—a life shaped by the cross—in a chaotic world. Key insights include the distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking, the theological implications of governance, and how Christians can embody a faithful, socially engaged presence amidst cultural turmoil. With practical examples and a deep dive into the text, the hosts challenge listeners to embrace a countercultural, Jesus-centered response to injustice and idolatry. Join the discussion and share your thoughts! How can we, as individuals and communities, live out this call to justice and non-compliance with humility and hope? Feel free to email questions or engage with us on Facebook and Instagram—we encourage and value your perspectives as we pursue this journey together.

Scripture: John 6:1-15, 35; Mark 8:5-7Sermon Title Suggestion: Broken for Blessing: The Dynamics of MultiplicationIntro: Deep gratitude for Radiant church – our "you're not crazy cousin"! You embody shared family values: unwavering commitment to Scripture's authority and the Gospel's centrality, a deep hunger for the Holy Spirit, and a wild hope for revival. You believe God isn't done with California, value elder-led teams, local roots with a global heart, and dream of multiplying churches. This message, drawing from "Broken for Blessing," is to fortify you for your next 20 years of fruitfulness. May this be a fresh, specific word from the Lord for Radiant.Key Points: 5 Dynamics of Christ's Multiplication (John 6)Life is in the Message, Not the Model (John 6:35): The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the true Bread of Life, is the multiplying power. Church planting models ("baskets") are secondary and will change; the message of Jesus' brokenness for our wholeness is eternal and what truly nourishes. Don't merely become experts in models; remain passionately in love with Jesus and His message. Remember: "My bad... You're good" – this is the Gospel!No Multiplication Without Subtraction (John 6:11): Just as the boy offered his entire lunch, true multiplication demands sacrifice. Jesus will ask us to put our best resources—our time, finances, and even our best leaders—into His hands, sometimes leaving us feeling hungry or stretched for a season so others might be filled. This is vital for a faith legacy that inspires future generations, fighting conservatism and embracing holy risk.Anointed Administration is a Jesus Thing (John 6:10; Mark 6:40): Jesus didn't just perform a miracle; He organized it, having people sit in groups. Effective administration is a spiritual gift, partnering with the prophetic, not opposing it. Radiant, as you grow, don't resist God-given systems and structures that facilitate further healthy multiplication.God's Abundant Provision AND Disruption (John 6:12-13): God always gives back more than we offer (12 baskets full!), but it often returns as "fragments"—raw potential, not always the finished product. This means a life of continual formation, raising new leaders, and embracing the disruption this brings. This keeps the church healthy and reliant on God, not just a few gifted individuals.Disciples Catch a Culture of Multiplication (Mark 8:5-7): After witnessing the feeding of the 5,000, the disciples offered their own loaves for the 4,000. A culture of multiplication is caught. When we see God move and willingly offer our unique "loaves and fish," we participate in His incredible multiplying mission.Conclusion: Ultimately, multiplying disciples and churches isn't just about growth; it's about Jesus receiving the reward of His suffering. He, the Lamb that was slain, is worthy because He was wounded for our healing and wholeness.Call to Action: Today, consider: what are your "loaves and fish"? Is it your time, talent, home, business, or finances? Jesus invites you to freshly place them in His hands. Respond with, "Count me in, Lord. You can count on me." Let's desire that the Lamb receives the full reward of His suffering through us. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

People call my behavior extreme, though I'm just acting in service of others. To be more precise, I'm acting in love for others. When people suggest what I'm doing is too hard, I sometimes remark how during America's Civil Rights era, some people went to jail for different people's freedom.Nobody looks forward to going to jail, yet people did. Their actions make mine look easy and fun. Still, I suggest, I bet they consider those actions of going to jail or even being attacked by dogs or beaten some of the best events of their lives. I doubt they regret it. I wanted to confirm my beliefs.I didn't go out of my way, but I looked out for people who had marched, protested, and gone to jail then. Then, a few months ago, I saw Robert Fullilove speak on a panel on leadership for Columbia's alumni community. He stole the show. That is, he was entertaining, engaging, fascinating, and informative. He spoke about many things: education, public health, prisons, and, catching my ear most, his involvement in the Civil Rights era.I brought him to the podcast as soon as I could, meeting him in his office. We talk about all the topics he did and more: education, public health, prisons, his involvement in the Civil Rights era, and more. In particular, not only does he not regret going to jail for other people's freedom, he considers that experience essential for him teaching public health today. Hosted on Acast.

One Goal. One Action. Today!! It can be soooo overwhelming to think of all the different areas of our lives, then think of all the things we said we WANT to achieve. If only we could pick ONE...and take an action, today. Then another one, tomorrow. Wait...we COULD do that. Right?

My warriors, today we gather to explore the profound simplicity found in the heart of faith. When fear seeks to unsettle us, the truth of God's Word offers a sanctuary of peace. Psalm 56:3 provides us with a clear directive for such times: to place our trust in God. Let us delve into how this trust not only shields us from fear but also strengthens our relationship with the Lord.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Psalm 56:3 - "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you."This verse speaks directly to our hearts, reminding us of the natural human response to fear and the supernatural response we can choose through faith. Trust in God is not passive; it is an active choice, a deliberate action to shift our focus from our fears to God's sovereignty. This act of trust transforms our perspective, enabling us to view our circumstances through the lens of God's promises.Focus Points for Conquering Fear Through Trusting God:* Acknowledge Your Fear: Recognize and admit your fear. Being honest about your fears is the first step towards overcoming them. It is in acknowledging our weakness that we can fully appreciate the strength of placing our trust in God.* Actively Choose to Trust: Decide to trust God each time fear arises. This decision is an act of will, a commitment to reject fear's hold and lean on God's character and promises.* Recall God's Faithfulness: Remind yourself of the times God has been faithful in the past. Reflecting on His previous deliverances and answered prayers can bolster your trust and diminish your fears.* Immerse in Scripture: Spend time in God's Word. Scriptures are full of God's assurances and promises. Let these truths fill your mind, replacing fear with faith.* Pray for Peace: Seek God's peace through prayer. As you express your fears to God and ask for His peace, you open the door for His calming presence to enter your heart and mind.Conclusion: In every moment of fear, we have a choice. We can allow fear to paralyze us, or we can choose to trust in God's unfailing love and power. By placing our trust in God, as Psalm 56:3 encourages us, we activate our faith, which not only shields us from fear but also aligns us more closely with God's peace and purpose for our lives.Call to Action: Today, whenever you feel fear creeping into your thoughts, pause, acknowledge the fear, and then consciously choose to trust in God. Speak Psalm 56:3 aloud as a declaration of your faith.Question of the Day: What fears do you need to surrender to God today, and how can actively trusting Him change your experience?Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, in moments of fear, help us to remember to turn to You. Teach us to trust You more deeply. When fears arise, let us put our trust in You, recalling Your faithfulness and drawing peace from Your promises. May our faith in You grow stronger each day as we learn to rely on You completely. Amen.Remember, my dear friends, each day offers new challenges, but also new opportunities to trust in God. Let the truth of Psalm 56:3 guide you: when you are afraid, put your trust in God. It is through this trust that you will find strength and peace.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Warriors, in our lives, we often encounter situations that may instill fear. However, as we come together today, let us remember and take heart in the truth that God has equipped us not with a spirit of fear, but with a spirit of power, love, and self-control. These gifts from God are not only essential but are also our tools to overcome any fear that confronts us.Our springboard for today's discussion is: 2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."This powerful verse from 2 Timothy reminds us that fear does not originate from God. Instead, God provides us with strength, compassion, and discipline. These divine attributes empower us to face challenges with courage and maintain our composure, guided by His love. As we delve into this scripture, let us explore how we can apply these truths to conquer fear through faith.Focus Points for Conquering Fear with God's Truths:* Embrace God's Power: Recognize the divine power within you. This power is not for domination, but for overcoming life's adversities and fears. Lean on this strength in times of weakness, and remember that God's might is made perfect in our imperfection.* Cultivate God's Love: Allow God's love to permeate your heart. Love casts out fear and brings comfort and peace to troubled hearts. By nurturing love, not only for God but also for others, we diminish the power of fear in our lives.* Exercise Self-Control: Use the gift of self-control to manage your fears. Do not let fear dictate your actions. Instead, control your responses to fearful situations with thoughtful deliberation and prayerful reflection.* Rely on Prayer: When fear arises, turn to prayer. Communicate your anxieties to God and ask for His guidance and peace. Prayer connects us with God, fortifies our spirit, and focuses our mind on His promises.* Study and Apply Scripture: Engage deeply with God's Word. Scripture is full of promises and truths that reassure and guide us. By understanding and applying these teachings, we fortify ourselves against the encroachment of fear.Conclusion: God has not designed us to live in fear, but to thrive through His gifts of power, love, and self-control. Each day presents opportunities to practice these gifts, strengthening our faith and diminishing our fears. Let us walk confidently in the assurance of what God has instilled within us, using these divine attributes to confront and conquer our fears.Call to Action: Today, choose one of the focus points and actively integrate it into your daily life. Whether it is embracing God's power, cultivating love, exercising self-control, relying on prayer, or studying scripture, commit to this practice. Observe how it changes your response to fear.Question of the Day: Which of God's gifts—power, love, or self-control—do you need to invoke today to help conquer a specific fear?Let's Pray: Dear Father, thank You for the gifts of power, love, and self-control.

My dear friends, in our journey through life, we often encounter moments that stir fear within us. Yet, as believers, we are not left to face these moments alone. God speaks to us through His Word, offering promises that not only comfort but empower us to overcome our fears. Today, let us explore how the truth of God's Word, specifically in Isaiah 41:10, provides the strength and assurance we need to conquer fear through faith.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Isaiah 41:10 - "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."This verse from Isaiah is a profound declaration of God's promise to be with us. It reminds us that when we face challenges that provoke fear, we can lean on the reality that God is ever-present and actively involved in our lives. He is not just a distant observer but a dynamic helper who strengthens, supports, and sustains us.Focus Points for Conquering Fear Through God's Word:* Recognize God's Presence: The first step in conquering fear is acknowledging that you are not alone. God is with you. Embrace this truth daily, and let it be the foundation on which you stand when fears arise.* Trust in God's Sovereignty: Understand that God is not only with you but is in complete control. He is your God. This knowledge should bring comfort and diminish dismay, knowing that the Almighty is managing the details of your life.* Receive God's Strength: Actively seek and accept the strength God offers. Fear drains our energy, but God promises to provide the strength we need. Pray for this strength and expect to receive it, for He is faithful.* Look for God's Assistance: In moments of fear, look for how God is helping you. Sometimes His help comes through comforting words in Scripture, other times through people, and often through internal peace amidst external chaos.* Feel God's Upholding Hand: Take comfort in the promise that God will uphold you with His righteous right hand. This is a metaphor of God's power and purity in action, defending and supporting you.Conclusion: Fear does not have the final say in our lives—faith does. By anchoring ourselves in the truths of God's Word, like those found in Isaiah 41:10, we find the resources to overcome fear. God's presence, sovereignty, strength, help, and upholding hand are not just abstract ideas but tangible realities that we can depend on every day.Call to Action: Today, choose to focus on one of these five focus points. Whether it's acknowledging God's presence or trusting in His sovereignty, let this truth from Scripture guide your actions and reactions throughout the day.Question of the Day: Which of these five focus points do you need to embrace more fully to conquer fear in your life?Let's Pray: Lord, thank You for Your reassuring words in Isaiah 41:10. Help us to remember that we need not fear because You are with us. Strengthen us, help us, and uphold us today. Teach us to rely on Your promises and to live out our faith boldly, conquering fear through our trust in You. In Your holy name, we pray, Amen.As you go about your day, remember that God is with you, strengthening and upholding you. Let His Word be the sword with which you conquer fear and the shield that protects you from despair.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.
