Deuteronomy 1-3, Psalm 53
Deuteronomy 3:21-22 (NLT)
“At that time I gave Joshua this charge: ‘You have seen for yourself everything the Lord your God has done to these two kings. He will do the same to all the kingdoms on the west side of the Jordan. Do not be afraid of the nations there, for the Lord your God will fight for you.’”
In Deuteronomy 3:21–22, Moses recalls how he encouraged Joshua as he prepared to lead the people. Moses reminded Joshua of everything the Lord had done to defeat Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan. He urged him to remember Father-God’s faithfulness when facing new challenges and to trust in the Lord’s covenant promises. Moses emphasized that courage must be rooted not in personal strength but in confidence that the Lord goes before His people.
These verses remind me that when I face new challenges, I need to remember the Lord’s faithfulness in my past. Father-God keeps His promises. Just as He fulfilled His word to give the land of Canaan to Abraham’s descendants, He remains faithful to every covenant promise He makes.
I relate to Joshua’s position. The Holy Spirit has guided me toward writing fiction novels to help draw people closer to the Lord. When I tried to pursue this calling on my own, I struggled and failed. But as my relationship with the Holy Spirit has deepened and my trust in the Lord’s promises has grown, my fear and anxiety about the future have lessened. I know I am not walking this path alone. The Lord is with me, and I can move forward with confidence in His guidance and support.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gives you courage to fulfill His purposes for your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 52 Bible Readings - Psalm 52:8-9 (NLT)
Numbers 35-36, Psalm 52
Psalm 52:8-9 (NLT)
“But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love. I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done. I will trust in your good name in the presence of your faithful people.”
In Psalm 52:8–9, we see David’s response after learning that Doeg the Edomite had killed the priests at Nob and their families. Doeg had informed King Saul that David received assistance from Ahimelech the priest. Enraged, Saul ordered Doeg to kill the priests and their households after his own soldiers refused to carry out the command. David wrote this psalm in response to those events.
In the psalm, David compares himself to a flourishing olive tree in the house of God. In the Old Testament, the olive tree symbolized peace, prosperity, and longevity. An olive tree can live for hundreds of years when its roots are deep and strong. David’s faith in the Lord was deeply rooted, and that foundation enabled him to endure intense adversity—even knowing that others suffered because they had helped him. David placed his trust completely in Father-God, recalling the Lord’s faithfulness in his past victories. He committed himself to praising the Lord in gratitude, despite the surrounding violence and betrayal.
David must have felt grief and perhaps guilt over the massacre at Nob. Yet he did not turn his anger toward the Lord. Instead, he anchored himself more firmly in trust. These verses remind me that when I face adversity, I must cultivate a faith that is deeply rooted—like an olive tree planted in the house of God. When my trust is grounded in my covenant relationship with the Lord, I can remain steady even when circumstances feel unstable.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One on whom you can rely in times of adversity—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 51 Bible Readings for February 22 - Psalm 51:12-13 (NLT)
Numbers 33-34, Psalm 51
Psalm 51:12-13 (NLT)
“Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you.”
In Psalm 51:12–13, we read about David’s repentance after his sin with Bathsheba. David mourned the joy he had lost because of his sin and asked the Lord to restore that joy. He pleaded with Father-God to create in him a willing spirit—to remove the stubbornness and rebellion that had led him astray. David then promised that if the Lord restored him, he would teach others the Lord’s ways and lead sinners back to repentance.
In a Bible commentary I read about Psalm 51, it mentioned that Sir Thomas More and Lady Jane Grey recited this psalm before their execution. That detail struck me. When I read Psalm 51, I feel the depth of David’s sorrow and the sincerity of his repentance. These verses remind me that when I am in right relationship with the Lord, I experience true joy and peace. My life functions more clearly because I receive daily guidance from the Holy Spirit.
These verses also teach me that restoration is not only personal—it has purpose. When Father-God restores us, He equips us to share our faith and help lead others back to Him. A renewed relationship with the Lord does not end in private relief; it overflows into witness.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who restores your relationship with Father-God—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 50 Bible Readings for February 21- Numbers 32:16-17 (NLT)
Numbers 31-32, Psalm 50
Numbers 32:16-17 (NLT)
“But they approached Moses and said, ‘We simply want to build pens for our livestock and fortified towns for our wives and children. Then we will arm ourselves and lead our fellow Israelites into battle until we have brought them safely to their land. Meanwhile, our families will stay in the fortified towns we build here, so they will be safe from any attacks by the local people.’”
In Numbers 32:16–17, the tribes of Reuben and Gad approached Moses regarding their request to settle east of the Jordan. While they wanted to secure land for their families and livestock, they also pledged to help the rest of Israel conquer the Promised Land before returning to their own territory. After Moses challenged their intentions, they reaffirmed their commitment to the community and to the Lord’s larger purpose.
These verses remind me that I must prioritize honoring the Lord’s promises over my immediate comfort or security. The leaders of Reuben and Gad demonstrated the importance of seeking wise counsel when making significant life decisions. Though they desired stability for their families, they were willing to delay personal security in order to fulfill their shared responsibility.
I relate to this tension. When the Holy Spirit guided me to focus on my writing, it was difficult to obey because I had a well-paying job that felt secure. Like the tribes of Reuben and Gad, I had to trust in the Lord’s provision even when I could not see how everything would unfold. Yet the Holy Spirit proved faithful. I have been able to devote time to writing while still receiving income from other sources. Looking back, I see that obedience required trust before clarity.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose promises of provision are always faithful—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
