💯 Keeping It 100

Last night I was thinking about receipts — looking back and seeing what God has done for me, what He’s brought me through. And this morning, still following that train of thought, I was reminded that God’s word doesn’t return to Him void. It accomplishes what He sent it to do.

Then I remembered something that happened a long time ago — the moment a man walked into my jail cell and handed me a Bible. I’ve always believed that it wasn’t just a man who came to see me that day; it was God Himself, walking into that cell to deliver His word.

I remember our conversation clearly. He told me how much time I was going to get and how much time I would do. And the very book he handed me described God as the One who declares the end from the beginning. That moment was more than an introduction to Scripture — it was the fulfillment of it. God sent His word, and it has been accomplishing exactly what He sent it for ever since.

Hope that does not disappoint.
Faith that comes by hearing the word of God — the very faith without which it’s impossible to please Him.
Wisdom that reshapes how I see.
Understanding and knowledge of God that continues to grow.
And the renewing of my mind — proof that His word works.

Looking back, I realize I’ve been holding on to receipts — evidence of His faithfulness. Every lesson learned, every breakthrough, every breath of peace is proof that God’s word always returns with fruit.

This is my 100th post, and I can’t think of a better way to commemorate it than by “keeping it 100” — giving God the glory for being true to His word.

So if you’re reading this, I hope it reminds you to look back. To see how far you’ve come. To recognize the goodness and mercy that have been following you every step of the way. His word hasn’t failed you — and it never will.
