Your life proves what God says!

Did you know your life is actually proof of what God says? Seriously! Your life tells a story about who God is and who you are to Him. So, let's get real simple about how your life proves what God says!

There’s this ancient story in the Bible about God, Satan, and a man named Job. One day, God asks Satan what he’s been up to. Satan says, "I’ve been roaming the earth." God replies, "Have you seen my servant Job? He’s devoted to me." Satan fires back, "Of course he is - you’ve protected him and made him rich. Take all that away and he’ll ditch you." God basically replies, "Not true. I'll prove it."

So, God allows Satan to test Job. What happens next is brutal. Job loses his family; looses his wealth; looses his health; looses everything! But even in his pain, Job stays loyal to God. In the end, Job’s response to what happened proves Satan wrong and God blesses Job with even more than he had before the trial.

It’s a wild story - one of the oldest ever told. But why does it matter?

Because it shows us that our lives are living answers to what God says about us.

Ok, here’s the simple but important part: God speaks good things over you. He calls you loved, valuable, strong, chosen. But Satan challenges that. He accuses what God said about you. He bets that when life gets hard, you’ll walk away from God.

Just like Job, you are in the middle of that argument. Your life - the way you respond to heartbreak, betrayal, loss, disappointment - is what proves who’s right: either God or Satan.

Maybe your life has already been harder than Job’s. Maybe you’ve been abandoned, abused, overlooked, lied to, or crushed by things no one else even knows about. But that only makes your story more powerful.

So here’s the question: Will your life prove God right about you? Or will it prove Satan’s accusations? Your life is your chance to answer.

Let’s get real simple about finding God

We don’t walk toward God because we don’t really expect to  find  Him. But, what if the thing that's been missing this whole time isn't God's presence, but our expectation? If you’ve ever felt like life is falling apart and there's no way out, you’re not alone. I’ve been there - totally wrecked, no hope left, and nothing I could do to fix it. One day in 2016, I ended up in this small, dim room in a church I’d never been to before. I didn’t go there because I was religious. I went there because I was desperate. I told God—straight up—“You have to change my life. I’m not moving until I hear from You.” I cried, begged, waited… and got nothing. Came back the next day. Same thing. But then, something happened. Not in some dramatic movie scene kind of way, but in a way that flipped my life upside down. Jesus showed up. Not in a vision or a flash of light. I just suddenly knew He was there. I felt comforted. Seen. Known. It’s hard to describe, but it was like my soul finall...

Let’s get real simple about wisdom, life, and the One who dreamed you up

Ever feel like you're just winging it through life? Yeah… same. Turns out, that’s the starting point for real wisdom. We all mess up. We all feel lost or unsure sometimes. It’s easy to look around and compare ourselves to others. Maybe you feel smarter, more put together, or just “less of a mess” than someone else, but if there really is a God who knows everything, then none of us are even close to His level. Compared to perfect wisdom, we’re all pretty clueless. That’s not a dig. That’s just honesty. But here’s the cool part: recognizing that we don’t know it all is actually the first step toward real wisdom. Everything in this world seems to come with an opposite: light and dark, good and evil, dry and wet. Same goes for wisdom and foolishness. And the amazing thing is, understanding one side helps you grasp the other. You don’t have to live in darkness to understand light - you just need to see the light . And if you feel stuck in the dark? The light can still reach you. T...

Let’s get real simple about meeting God

You and I didn’t choose to be born—we just showed up one day, breathing, thinking, living. And whether we like it or not, there’s someone behind that. The Bible says that at some point—either during our life or at the very end—we will meet the One who gave us life. No one gets a pass. Everyone will face God eventually. But here’s the thing: why wait until we die to meet Him? If we were made by Someone, wouldn’t it make sense to know who that Someone is while we’re still alive? Ok, here’s the simple but important part. The best thing we could ever do with our time is get to know Jesus. Not religion. Not rules. Him. Jesus isn’t just a historical figure or a name people throw around at church. The Bible says He’s the one through whom everything was made - including you. So if you’ve ever wondered about your purpose, your identity, or why life even matters, Jesus is the starting point . Eternal life isn’t just about some future heaven thing. It’s about knowing Jesus. That’s literally ...
