Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday January 04TH 2026, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

This marks the start of my 9TH year of #SundayScripture here on my blog. I’m coming up on my 400TH edition in February. I never really thought that this would last this long, but it has. I still enjoy producing this weekly series, so it shall continue, and God will continue to get all of the glory.

A friend from afar recently asked me if I was leading my own church these days. The answer is no. I am not leading my own church; although, that was actually a plan of mine for a few years. I thought about it. I prayed about it. I wondered what it would be like if I planted a church in my eventual retirement location of Sebring Florida. I even thought about starting a church in the clubhouse of my own neighborhood once I settled on my current 55+ community in 2022. Those plans didn’t come to fruition. They were not God’s plans. His plans were for me to serve as part of an already established church body in Sebring. I picked the first church. That wasn’t the church that God planned for me. He picked the next church. I’ve been part of that church body for the past 28 months.

My takeaway is this. Go ahead and make plans for your future. Make big plans. Pray about them. Our God may find them amusing. He’s got His own plans for you. Go with His plans.

“For I know the plans I have for you” – says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster – to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord – and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know – then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
