Showing Up When God Shows Up

by Nohemie Brevil “Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.’ Jacob rose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of i

Enough Light for the Next Step

by FaDerricka B. Harvey “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NIV) As I was driving to visit my family for the holidays, it was a late Tuesday evening—not especially late, but with the time change, 5:00 p.m. felt and looked more like 8:00 p.m. The sun had fully set, and I found myself driving down what seemed like a long, black, never-ending road. I couldn’t see far ahead—only as far as my headlights would allow. In that moment, I had no choice

Lifted by the Storm

by Nohemie Brevil “The flood continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.” (Genesis 7:17 ESV) Key Truth: The same waters that destroyed the earth lifted the ark to safety. What feels like disaster can become, in God’s hands, the very thing that carries us to deliverance. When we think of storms, we usually think of fear, loss, and chaos. In Genesis, the flood was an act of God’s judgment and brought great destr

A Leader’s Heart

by Nohemie Brevil “Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.” And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all, he broke it and began to eat. Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves. Acts 27:34–36 Life can be challenging for all of us. Storms come in many forms—physical, emotional, or spiritual. Yet even in the middle of th

Learning to Listen for His Voice: In the Watchtower and the Waiting

by Nohemie Brevil “I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how He will answer my complaint.” — Habakkuk 2:1 (NLT) In our women’s Bible study through Habakkuk at our home church, I’ve learned that waiting on God isn’t sitting around doing nothing. It’s active—it has purpose. Waiting doesn’t mean God is ignoring me or unaware of what I’m facing. He asks me to wait so He can prepare me, show me His timing, and

Adoration in the Midst of Chaos: Learning from Habakkuk’s Worship

By FaDerricka Harvey Habakkuk 1:12-13 | “Lord, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish. Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.” When was the last time you just sat still and adored God? Like, a prayer that simply celebrates who He is — not asking for anything, just acknowledging His greatness? As we have been studying t

"Learning to Watch and Wait on God"

by Nohemie Brevil “I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint.” - Habakkuk 2:1 When I read this verse, I paused and asked myself: How can I truly stand watch and position myself to hear what the Lord wants to say to me? I love Habakkuk’s story because while he brought raw, honest questions before God—he didn’t stop there. He chose a posture of expectation. He stationed
