Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) I Resolve I resolve… To seek God daily, not just occasionally, To breathe His Word in rhythm, faithfully, relationally. I resolve… To trust His timing, not rush the plan, To wait with patience, resting in His hand. I resolve… To walk in obedience, though the path feels tight, To step through discomfort, still choosing what’s right. I resolve… To guard my mind, my heart, my soul, To keep His Spirit steady, making Him my goal....

Goal setting is not about perfection — it’s about progress. It’s about moving, step by step, in the direction God is calling you. It’s about aligning your life with His will, His wisdom, and His Word.

Brokenness in the Bible is not a curse but a doorway to grace: it teaches us humility, repentance, and dependence on God, opening the way for healing and transformation. • Brokenness as Humility and Repentance Psalm 51:17 declares, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” This shows that God values a heart that admits weakness and turns back to Him Bible Hub +1. • Brokenness Precedes Renewal The Bible often portrays brokenness as the moment before restoration. Like clay in the potter’s hand, our self-will must be...

Biblically, the sin of not resting is seen as disobedience to God’s rhythm of creation and a rejection of trust in His provision. It leads to spiritual dryness, societal injustice, and even exile. Here’s how Scripture frames this: 🕊️ Rest as a Divine Command • God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2–3, blessing the seventh day and sanctifying it. • The Sabbath was not optional—it was a covenant sign between God and Israel (Exodus 31:13–17). • Ignoring rest was treated as rebellion. In Numbers 15:32–36, a man gathering wood on the Sabbath was put to...

To Warn against false teachers and divisive influences. Phil. 3:2
info_outlineIn the Bible, Matthew 12:43–45 states that an evil spirit that leaves a person goes to arid places in search of rest, but finds none. It then says, "I will return to the house I left". When it arrives, it finds the house clean and in order, and then takes seven more wicked spirits with it, and they live there. The final condition of that man is worse than the first.
John 14:31) Seeing then they had not the protection of Angels, and were burdened with the useless observances of the Law, and the traditions of the Pharisees, the Devil returns to his former dwelling, and, taking to him seven other demons, inhabits it as before.
43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”
