Job 12:10 — “In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all the human race.”  We live in a time when there’s just too much going on. The influx of materials, messages, and resources is so massive that there’s little time to process all that we’re taking in. As if managing our own lives is not preoccupying enough, technology constantly exposes us to what’s happening in other people’s lives and around the world. We are like a ball rolling endlessly, with no chance to pause, reflect, or assess. Things cling to us along the way, and we rarely stop to evaluate what we should keep and what we should shake off.  There’s an endless stream of activity and constant noise. Meditation and reflection have become lost arts. We can hardly sit still and focus on one thing with full attention.  Concentration is fragile. We can’t stay present with what we’re watching or reading. We can’t fully listen to the person in front of us. Our minds are fragmented, our hearts distr...

God Is Immutable One of the most comforting truths about God is that He is immutable—He does not change. “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed” (Malachi 3:6). In a world where everything is constantly shifting—trends, opinions, emotions, and even relationships—God’s unchanging nature stands as a rock of stability and security.  What It Means That God Is Immutable To say God is immutable means His character, nature, will, and promises never change. He is not subject to time or influenced by circumstances. God does not grow, develop, or improve because He is already perfect. His love is constant, His justice unwavering, His mercy steadfast. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). This doesn’t mean God is static or lifeless. Rather, His actions are always consistent with His nature.  He may act differently in different situations, but always in harmony with His perfect character.  For example, ...

 Scripture: “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” – Proverbs 17:22  We often underestimate how much our mindset affects our health.

Happiness is available to us. We have the choice to pursue and live it. It is a way of life—a life that is lived in a right relationship with God. And if you live it life this way, you’ll find lasting joy in Christ. Psalm 1 straightforwardly and simply lays the right path in pursuit of happiness . Let’s look and see all the practical insights the psalmist provides us with regarding being happy in life. Don’t Overvalue the Advice of the Ungodly The child of God should not let the world’s voice hold stronger ground than God’s voice. This is a pitfall that many believers fall into today.
