A Time For All Things
The book of Ecclesiastes is a book of perspectives. It gives us some of the best insights on life than any other writings. The book of Ecclesiastes highlights life’s brevity & limitations, emphasizing that mortality & the unpredictability of life makes it impossible to find absolute meaning on our own.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, enlightens the reader that God has appointed a specific time & season for every aspect of life – birth, death, joy, sadness, work, rest, etc. This chapter emphasizes humanity’s inability to control those cycles & urges finding joy in daily work & simple pleasures as gifts from God.

According to one report from the Center for Disease Control, life expectancy in the U.S. reached an all-time high of 79 years. While that is great news, it could also be said that 79 years is not a long time. But when you put things in perspective as Solomon depicts it, there’s enough time for everything. Meaning, there’s plenty of time to fulfill what God has purposed for our lives.

Life is a series of seasons & events. There’s an opportune time to do anything, & a right time to do it. Even difficult times & difficult seasons have a purpose in God’s plan. This month, we’ll explore some of those different seasons in our lives.

That’s my Inspirational for today.

Reflections
As we have reflected upon the events that led up to the death & burial of Jesus, it’s equally important that we reflect upon the Good News - He Rose Again.

When Mary Magdalene & Mary, the mother of James & Joseph, went to the tomb of Jesus to pay respect, an angel said unto them, “He is not here, for He is risen, as He said.” (Matthew 28:6)

Mark 16:6 gave this perspective, “He is risen, He is not here, come & see where they laid Him.” This was verified proof.

Luke 24:6 had this to say, “He is not here, but is risen. Remember what He told you when He was in Galilee.” He had already informed His followers In Luke 9:22 of His death, burial, & resurrection.

It was all in God's plan this would not be His final resting place. When He was born, they laid Him in a temporary manger, because there was no room in the Inn. (Luke 2:7) On one occasion, He told a follower, “The foxes have holes to live in, the birds have nests to dwell, but I have nowhere to lay my head.” (Matthew 8:20) There were no intentions for worldly glory or earthly comfort. And when He died, He was laid in a borrowed tomb. A rich man named Joseph of Arimathea, laid the body in his tomb. (Matthew 27:57-60) It's customary when you borrow something, you give it back.

Yes, He suffered extreme physical torture, a crown of thorns platted about His head, nailing Him to a cross for no reason, dying by asphyxiation & exhaustion, etc. But there's good news! That's all history. "He Is Risen," just as He said He would.

That’s my Inspirational to conclude the month of April.

Reflections
On last week, we reflected upon Biblical prophecy & what led to the crucifixion of Jesus. It was the very people who studied history & law who concluded that Jesus had committed a crime.

Matthew 27:20 - “It was the chief priests & elders who persuaded the courts to ask for the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus.” Much like today, Presidents have the power to issue pardons to those who have committed crimes. Although he found no evidence against Jesus, Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Judea at the time, succumbed to the crowds & released Barabbas.

This leads me to reflect upon the final hour of Jesus on the cross, & His seven last sayings. One of them is found in Luke 23:34 – “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Here is something to think about, & it could be viewed as an oxymoron. His crucifixion, in my opinion, may have been one of the greatest mistakes of all time. Why do I say that? Because as tragic a mistake it was, it turned out to be one of the greatest blessings we could ever ask for.

Here are some key benefits from their mistakes. Through His death, we were granted forgiveness & justification of our sins. Through His death, we have been redeemed & reconciled back to God. Through His death, we have been promised eternal life. (John 3:16)

Sometimes, mistakes have the power to turn us into something better than we were before. Thank you, Lord, for giving of your life for us to live.

That’s my Inspirational for today.

04/12/2026

Reflections
When we talk about Palm Sunday, Holy Week, Resurrection Day, it’s important to reflect & understand what led to these historic events. In an attempt to lay the groundwork, we have to go back in time to Biblical prophecy.

The Old Testament contains hundreds of prophecies relating to the coming Messiah. Messiah meaning a promised savior, often viewed as a king sent by God. Here’s three of those predictions.
Isaiah 9:6 – “The government shall be upon His shoulder.”
Jeremiah 23:5 – “A king shall reign.”
Zechariah 9:9 – “Thy king cometh, riding upon a donkey.”

So, when Jesus was born in a manger (Luke 2:7), & rode into Jerusalem on a donkey (Mark 11:2), some of the church leaders took offense because they were they were expecting someone to come in royal fashion. And when He claimed to be the Son of God, it was Jewish law that blasphemy was a punishable crime & therefore be put to death. (John 19:1-7)

I’m sure there are scriptures all of us struggle with, but it is clear some of those well-educated religious people misinterpreted Biblical prophecy. Chief Priests – High-ranking members of a religious hierarchy. Scribes – People who copied documents, manuscripts & scriptures. There’s a happy ending to the death of Jesus, & we will explore that on next week.

The prophets spoke, but apparently some weren’t listening. No wonder Jesus said, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matthew 11:15)

That’s my Inspirational for today.

Reflections
It’s been said that April is a month of reflection, renewal, & rebirth. It’s the perfect time for pausing & re-assessment. We have so many things we can reflect upon - family, friends, accomplishments, etc. I want to take this opportunity during this month to reflect upon the mission of Jesus, his death, his burial, & his resurrection.

Reflection means to give careful thought or consideration, to ponder, to think deeply about, or to meditate upon. So, let’s take a moment to ponder how we got to this point where we celebrate Resurrection Sunday.

First, let’s consider the mission of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Luke gives one of the most detailed accounts of His life & Ministry. Luke presented Jesus as the compassionate Savior for all people, emphasizing His Ministry to the marginalized, His parables, & His journey to Jerusalem culminating in His death & resurrection. He was to proclaim the Kingdom of God, preach repentance, to fulfill prophecy, & to offer salvation.

Luke 4:18-19 – “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, & to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

This verse summarizes Jesus’ messianic mission upon the earth. It also highlights His focus not only upon spiritual matters, but social concerns as well.

Reflecting & looking back is essential for continued growth & learning. “The more reflective we are, the more effective we are.”

That’s my Inspirational for today. Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Old Testament Overview
The last category of books in the Old Testament are Major & Minor Prophets. The term Major & Minor was simply a way to divide all of the prophetic books. Considered Major because of its scope & size, while the Minor books were a collection of shorter prophetic books.

Prophecies were divinely inspiring messages that revealed the thoughts of God. These books contained messages of judgment, repentance, & hope for Israel.

The Major prophets were Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, & Daniel. These books were longer, & their contents were very broad. Based on word count, Jeremiah was the longest, while Isaiah has the most chapters (66). The first 39 chapters of Isaiah focused on sin, judgment, & warnings. The last 27 chapters of Isaiah focused on comfort & restoration. This is symbolic in nature because there are 66 books in the Bible. The first 39 books in the Old Testament focused on judgment, while the last 27 books in the New Testament focused on redemption. One of the greatest prophecies can found in Isaiah 9:6 – “Unto us a Child is born, unto us Son is given.”

The Minor prophets were Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, & Malachi. These books were also called the twelve. These Prophets warned of divine judgement for sins like idolatry & social injustices, while also offering hope & restoration. One of the greatest prophecies from these writers were Joel 2:28 – “I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons & daughters will also prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, & your young men will see visions.” The Body of Christ today is a by-product of this prophecy.

I hope & pray these studies have been a blessing. “If you want to hear God speak, read your Bible. If you want to hear God speak audibly, read your Bible out loud.”

That’s my Inspirational for today.

Old Testament Overview
The third category of books in the Old Testament are called Wisdom & Poetry. They serve as guides for those living in Biblical times & also for us today. They are Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs or Songs of Solomon.

Job – This book introduces a profound masterpiece exploring the mystery of suffering & divine justice. It talks about a righteous person named Job who loses everything, challenging the idea that suffering is a direct punishment for sin. Job’s story tackles the struggle of trusting a sovereign God when life seems unfair. The book does not provide a simple answer to ‘why,’ but rather invites readers to trust God’s wisdom in the midst of life’s complexities.

Psalms – This book is a collection of poems, songs, & prayers that serve as a Biblical hymnbook, exploring human emotions to praise. This book was designed to help worshippers articulate their emotions, offering prayers for difficult times, as well as songs for worship & adoration. This book has more chapters than any other book in the Bible. It covers subjects as God & His creation, war, worship, wisdom, sin, evil, justice, the coming Messiah, etc.

Proverbs – This book is a collection of wise sayings & instructions, designed to teach practical skills for living a godly, skillful, & righteous life. Its core theme is that ‘the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,’ emphasizing that true knowledge begins with humility, reverence for God, & moral integrity.

Ecclesiastes – This is a book of wisdom exploring the meaning of life. It concludes that because life is temporary & death is inevitable, true meaning, joy, & stability comes through fearing God, obeying His commands, & accepting life as a gift. The book advises against pursuing perfection in a broken world & instead urges finding contentment in God.

Song of Solomon – This book is a collection of over 1,000 songs. These songs or poems were written to extol the virtues of love between a husband & wife. The songs or poems presents marriage as God’s design. A man & woman are to live together within the context of marriage, loving each other spiritually, emotionally, & physically. Some Bible interpreters see in this book an exact symbolic representation of Christ & His church. (Ephesians 5:27)

These books offered ancient wisdom for modern times.

That’s my Inspirational for today.

Old Testament Overview
The second category of books in the Old Testament is history books. These books provide a theological interpretation of Israel’s history, highlighting God’s role in their successes & failures.

Joshua – Recounts the Israelites’ transition from the wilderness to possessing the Promised Land.

Judges – This book narrates Israel’s chaotic decline from God’s covenant loyalty into anarchy. Judges were not courtroom judges like today, but military & political leaders during time of war & conflict. Since this is Women’s History Month, Deborah was one of the first women Judges in the Old Testament.

Ruth – The book of Ruth is a beautiful story about loyalty & redemption. Ruth was the daughter-in-law to Naomi. Following the death of their husbands, Ruth was advised to go back to her hometown. Instead, she accompanied Naomi to Bethlehem to care for her. Like Christ, she gave up her life for others. (Ruth 1:16)

1&2 Samuel – After the nation of Israel was rescued from slavery in Egypt, they eventually came into the Promised Land. In return, the Israelites were supposed to be faithful, but they came up short of the glory of God. The books of Samuel provided an answer. Three leaders, Samuel, Saul, & David, were called to transition Israel into a unified kingdom.

1&2 Kings – In these books, God promised that from David’s lineage would come a Messianic King who would establish God’s kingdom. These books detail the long line of kings that came after David. After David, came his son Solomon, who completed his father's dream of building a massive temple for the God of Israel.

1&2 Chronicles – These books offer a retelling of Israel’s history from Adam to the Babylonian exile, focusing on the Davidic covenant, temple worship, & the Southern kingdom of Judah. They emphasize that obedience leads to blessings while disobedience causes destruction, ultimately providing hope for the future Messiah & the rebuilding of the temple.

Ezra & Nehemia – Considered to be one book, they document the return of Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. Both Ezra & Nehemiah worked to rebuild the Jewish homeland, religious practice, & infrastructure. This is where we get the popular scripture, “So built we the wall, for the people had a mind to work.” (Nehemiah 4:6)

Esther – This book tells a story of a Jewish orphan who becomes Queen of Persia. Advised by her cousin Mordecai, he exposes a plot to annihilate the Jews. Because of her position as Queen, she was able to save an entire nation of people. In honor of Esther’s courage, God promised her name would be celebrated for generations to come. (Esther 9:28) That celebration is called Purim, a Jewish holiday that’s held yearly. That holiday was just celebrated on March 2, 2026.

So, why is it important to remember history? The Apostle Paul gave this response, “Whatever was written in the past, were written for our learning, in order that we might have hope in the Scriptures.” (Romans 15:4)

That’s my Inspirational for today.

03/08/2026

Old Testament Overview
The first set of books in the Old Testament are considered the Law, or the Pentateuch. In the Greek, Penta means five. Those five books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy. These books cover the history of humanity from creation to the death of Moses, who is credited with being the author.

Genesis tells the story of creation & establishes God as the creator. This book highlights the fall of humanity, the introduction of sin, & the need for redemption., which is one of the central themes throughout the Bible.

Exodus details the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, the parting of the Red Sea, the giving of the Ten Commandments, & the construction of the tabernacle.

Leviticus introduces laws & outlines the legal & ethical framework to instruct the Israelites on how to live as godly people.

Numbers highlights the 40-year journey of the Israelites through the wilderness, including their faithfulness, census taking, & their journey to the Promised Land.

Deuteronomy contains Moses final speeches, where he reviews the law, renews the covenant with a new generation, & prepares the Israelites to enter Canaan.

These five books, the Pentateuch, provides essential theological & historical context, focusing on themes of covenant & law. Without God’s law against which to measure our lives, we would not recognize our need for a Savior.

That’s my Inspirational for today.
