Your unwavering love, strength, and grace inspire us all. As we celebrate the invaluable role of mothers in our lives, I am reminded of the words of Proverbs 31:28: "Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her."

 🔍What Are You Looking For in 2023? 🌟 Dear friends! 👋🏼 As we step into a new year, it's natural to reflect on our desires and aspirations. We all long for something—truth, purpose, fulfillment. We often find ourselves seeking signs and tangible proof to validate our beliefs or provide reassurance. But what if I told you that the answer you're looking for might not be found in signs, but in a Person? Let's embark on a thought-provoking journey together, inspired by the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 12, verses 38-39. 📖✨ In that encounter, the Pharisees approached Jesus, requesting a sign to prove His authority. They wanted something extraordinary, a miraculous demonstration. Jesus, perceiving their hearts, responded, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah." 🙌🏼 Jesus pointed to the "sign of Jonah," a foreshadowing of His own death, burial, and resurrection.

Honoring the New Covenant

From Deception to Devotion: The Legacy of King Saul Introduction: The concept of a covenant, a sacred agreement between God and humanity, has deep roots in the Bible. One of the most profound developments in this divine relationship is the establishment of the New Covenant. The New Covenant is not just a continuation of the old but a transformation of it, offering a deeper and more intimate connection with God. In this article, we'll explore the journey from King Saul's misstep to the institution of the New Covenant by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the call to honor and participate in this remarkable covenant. 1. King Saul's Covenant and the Consequence (Joshua 9 and 2 Samuel 21): Our story begins in the book of Joshua (Joshua 9), where we encounter an intriguing event. The Gibeonites, a neighboring people, employed a clever ruse to secure their safety by entering into a covenant with the Israelites. Despite the deception, the Israelite leaders, including Joshua,

In our spiritual journey, we may have come across Bible passages where water symbolizes both challenges and blessings within our faith. Just as in the Bible, we've witnessed how water embodies both the trials and triumphs of our spiritual sojourn: 1. Flood Waters (Genesis 7:17-24):    The great flood in Noah's time was a cataclysmic event, bringing destruction and judgment. However, Christ serves as our refuge, akin to the ark, offering salvation, protection, and a shelter from life's fiercest storms. 2. Bitter Waters at Marah (Exodus 15:22-25):    The bitter waters a
