He's a "Good Gifts" God
Exodus 16:31, NIV The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. Deuteronomy 8:7-9, NIV For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are ir
"One Day" Moments
Genesis 18:1b-2, 10a, NLT One day Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day. He looked up and noticed three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran to meet them and welcomed them, bowing low to the ground. … Then one of them said, “I will return to you about this time next year, and your wife, Sarah, will have a son!” The Bible is full of “one day” moments—that one day when everything changed.

Marah is Not the Final Word
Exodus 15:22-25, ESV Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah. And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. The
Leaving Comes First
Genesis 12:1, ESV Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.” Numbers 9:17a, ESV And whenever the cloud lifted from over the tent, after that the people of Israel set out, So often, when we face seasons of transition in our lives, the only thing we know in the beginning is what we’re being called to go from. We know fully well what we’re leaving behind, but the thing ahead is still
