How To Achieve A Healthy Work-Life Balance In 3 Steps
What is work-life balance? In my interpretation, work-life balance is the act of having fulfilling work that translates into your personal life. This includes your relationship with God, family, friends, and your community as a whole. For example, we may know people who put work before everything else, and it ends up affecting their relationship with God, their spouse, and their children. Some families and spouses feel neglected when one family member works long hours and therefore misses quality family time and important family events because their work-life is out of balance. How Can We Achieve This Work-Life Balance? Seek God And Talk To Him About Your Career: I advocate for…

How To Forgive Others With The Help Of God And Heal Physically And Spiritually
What Is Forgiveness According To The Bible? In (Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV), it says, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

But God is telling us to get rid of the bitterness and anger we may have towards someone who has hurt us to forgive them just as in Christ, God forgave…

5 Gentle Character Traits From Ruth Christian Women Can Learn
Ruth, the Moabites, was a woman who came from a pagan country and a pagan family, but God had a plan for her and her future. The sequence of events might not have played out smoothly, but non the less God still had a plan. We might say the same for our current reality; you might not know how God will turn your situation around for the better because of the adversity you may be going through, but like David and Ruth, God has a plan to turn around your situation. Thus, the hardship that you may be going through is part of the stepping stone to your victory. The…

The Two ways God Used Moses For His Purpose
This post is the third series in our series of how God used people in biblical times for His purpose. We talked about the patriarchs and how God used Noah as well. In today’s blog, we will talk about Moses and how God called him and led him to deliver the Israelites from Egypt. The Backstory To Moses’s Life Moses was born in the times the Israelites were oppressed and enslaved by the Egyptians. He was born to Levite parents, so Moses was from the tribe of Levi.

Noah’s Assignment And God’s Purpose For Mankind
Noah’s Assignment We started this series by talking about the patriarchs and how God used Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to create His Jewish nation. Today, we will talk about Noah and how God used him to preserve a select few; Noah’s family and two of each animal in the world. Because of man’s wickedness in that generation, God would start over again with humankind, but He needed a few select people to procreate and fill the earth after the flood, and He chose the family of Noah. Noah had three sons. All the people who will enter the ark will be Noah and his wife, his three sons (Shem, Ham,…

People In The Bible God Used For His Purpose (The Patriarchs)
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob We thank God He has called us to join in His glorious work in His creation. The Bible is full of people God used for His purpose. God’s ultimate purpose for us is that we will love Him with all our heart, mind, and soul. We also know that we will live in a broken world with a broken human nature, far from the perfect world God created in the beginning. The enemy tempted Adam and Eve and caused The Fall to happen, and the trajectory of our lives has changed. But, God is very faithful and merciful and sent His son Jesus Christ to reconcile…

3 Reasons God May Allow Trials In Our Lives
Why God Allows Trials And Crisis In Our Lives So, first of all, I want to say that God created a perfect world, but we now live in a broken world because of the fall in the garden (Genesis 3). Because of the fall, we live in a world that is predisposed to evil, so God said that “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” (6:5 NIV) Humankind is naturally evil, and our hearts and thoughts are continually evil. Because of continual evil is why God…
