Hi friends! Before my last trip to Israel I purchased Watching Waiting, a “40-day devotional journey through biblical prophecy and the hope of Jesus’ return.” As I near the final days of the devotional guide, I have already decided I will immediately repeat it again. I have been blessed by the encouragement to keep my eyes on Jesus as I watch and wait for His return, but also to live with courage and share the hope I have in Jesus.

If you are looking for a devotional guide, I recommend this one. It is written by Pastor Jack Hibbs and is theologically sound. Check out the brief (1-3 minute) “kickoff” messages he shares on Real Life Network. If interested, you can purchase the devotional here. It is a great way to go deeper into God’s Word in 2026!

We are to watch and wait for our Savior’s return, and it is closer than we may think. I am especially burdened by the state of the church in these last days. Be sure to check in next week when we turn our focus to a spiritual battle the church cannot afford to lose. See you then!
