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.

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - ×™ַ×¢ֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

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...

God's Desire for Us to Thrive

When we hear or read the words, “For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope,” we often stop at the comfort of the promise—but those thoughts aren’t vague. They’re visible. They’re written into the entire story of Scripture. From the Garden to the Kingdom, God’s intention has always been for His people to thrive. In Genesis 2, God didn’t create man and then look for a place to put him—He prepared Eden first, a place of beauty, abundance, and provision. Then He placed man in that garden. That is the heart of the Father: to position His children where they can thrive. Later, when delivering His people from Egypt, He didn’t just bring them out—He brought them in. Into a land flowing with milk and honey, a land He handpicked for them (Deuteronomy 8:7-10). Just like Eden, this land was a reflection of His desire to see His people not just survive, but flourish. We see this truth echoed throughout Scripture. Th...
