Although I don’t know where the road ahead will lead me, I am willing to muster the courage to move forward regardless of my own safety – for you…

God allows us to suffer not because He doesn’t love us, but because of His love He gives us discipline…

Completely honest and God-fearing Job lost everything, and in extreme suffering he once considered himself righteous and was angry and dissatisfied, until he understood that God created the universe, heaven and earth, and all things, possessing all sovereignty and perfect wisdom, love and justice.

The Book of Ruth tells a moving love story, and yet the word “love” is not mentioned once throughout the entire book. Boaz’s act of redeeming Ruth allows us to see that in God’s plan of salvation, He includes the Gentiles as well…

The Psalms are like a window into a dialogue with God’s heart and soul. Through this window, we on the inside can pray, praise, weep and lament to God. And through this window, God conveys to us His love, compassion, protection and His promises that never change.

The Book of Nehemiah records that under God’s wonderful protection, in 445 BC, the third group of captive Israelites returned to Jerusalem under Nehemiah’s leadership, and in just 52 days they rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem!

The Book of Ezra records that under God’s wonderful and mighty guidance, the captive Israelites returned to Jerusalem in two waves, by decree of the Persian kings, in 537 BC and 458 BC.

The Book of 1 Samuel chronicles Samuel, the last of the judges of Israel, who humbly served God in the roles of both priest and prophet. He anointed first Saul and then David as kings, helping transition the Israelites from the wayward period of the judges to the powerful kingdom era.

After Joshua’s generation passed away, subsequent generations no longer “knew the Lord.” The Israelites in the Promised Land did not keep their covenant with God and followed the foreigners who still lived in the land to do evil things, even worshiping their idols and intermarrying with them.
