Point Him Out

We live in a world full of distractions, pressures, and questions about identity and purpose. But the answer has always been the same: seek Him until you see Him.

Moses wanted to see God’s glory—and God responded, not with thunder, but with truth:

“The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness…” (Exodus 34:6)

That wasn’t just a description. It was a proclamation—a revelation of who God is. And when we seek Him, this is what we will find.
And here’s the stunning part: this is the image we were made in.

“Let Us make man in Our image…” (Genesis 1:26)

Merciful. Gracious. Patient. Abundant in love. Faithful. That’s our blueprint. That’s our mirror. And yet, how hard it is to believe that’s who we really are.

When God Calls, Man Often Hesitates

Look through Scripture and you’ll see a pattern:

  • Moses looked at his speech and his past.

  • Gideon looked at his family background.

  • Jeremiah looked at his youth.

  • Isaiah looked at his uncleanness.

They all looked at themselves—and saw the wrong thing.

But God never agreed with their limited perspective. He corrected it. He aligned them with the word He had spoken over them.
Because the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). When He calls, He doesn’t take it back. He brings us into alignment with His vision.

David: A Different Spirit

And then there was David. The youngest, the forgotten, the shepherd boy.

But when he was anointed, he didn’t look inward. He didn’t hesitate.
When the moment came, and a giant stood mocking the armies of God, David didn’t flinch.
He didn’t see a giant. He saw God.

“You come to me with sword and spear… but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts.” (1 Samuel 17:45)

David kept his eyes on God. He believed the word spoken over him. And he moved forward not in fear, but in faith.

Seek Him Until You See Him

Here’s the invitation: Point Him out.

Not just in theology or tradition—but in your daily life. In your struggle. In your questions.
If you seek Him, you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). And when you do, keep your eyes on Him.

Because that’s where peace is found:

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” (Isaiah 26:3)

When we see Him, we begin to see ourselves rightly. We start to reflect the image we were created in.
And then—His Kingdom comes.
Not from outside in, but from inside out.
Because the Kingdom is within you (Luke 17:21), and when you behold the King, His will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

So Today…

Point Him out.
In your thoughts—where His truth has interrupted the lies.
In your choices—where His Spirit has led you, even when you didn’t realize it.
In your battles—where He’s shown up with strength, mercy, and strategy.
In your dreams—where He’s been sovereign, gracious, and faithful.

Point Him out where He’s been merciful when you deserved judgment,
gracious when you felt unworthy,
slow to anger when you kept messing up,
abundant in love when you felt alone,
faithful even when you were faithless.

Don’t look at your limitations. Look at His faithfulness.
Don’t fix your eyes on giants. Fix your eyes on the One who already overcame.

And as you behold Him—you’ll become more like Him.

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

🌱 The Visible Harvest, the Invisible Process

Hebrews 11:3 has been stirring in me lately: “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.” This verse is more than a statement about creation — it’s a key to how God works in our lives. God’s Word is the Seed In the beginning, when God made man in His image, He blessed him and said: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it...” (Genesis 1:28) That blessing was a seed planted in mankind — a seed with power to grow into a life full of fruitfulness. Jesus used the same picture when He said the Kingdom of God is like a man who planted a seed, and even though it was small, it grew into a tree so big that it housed the birds of the air. (Matthew 13:31-32) That’s the pattern right there: blessing → fruitfulness → multiplication → replenishing. The Mystery of the Process Here’s the part that grabbed me: Hebrews 11:3 says what we see didn’t come from what was visible....

↔️ Either Way

Everyone has that scripture. The one that doesn’t just encourage them—it knows them. The one that feels less like a verse and more like a voice. For me, it’s Isaiah 43:1, then verse 2—in that order. And it’s my favorite not because it’s poetic—though it is. Not because it’s comforting—though it comforts deeply. It’s my favorite because it’s God loving me in my love language. There’s something unmistakably intimate about the way God speaks here. He calls out Jacob and Israel in the same breath and then makes a declaration that stops me every time: “Fear not… I have redeemed you… I have called you by your name; thou art Mine. ” That line alone would have been enough. But it’s who He says it to that makes it unforgettable. Jacob and Israel are the same person , but they are not the same man . Jacob is the name shaped by striving, failure, manipulation, and survival. Israel is the name God gave after the wrestling, after the touch, after the transformation. One name carries history. Th...
