Mike l really do request prayer at this time moreso than ever. Lately I've just felt so rejected even by the very family members that l tried so hard to reach out to. I have to admit that I'm not good at unloading my baggage onto others. But it's just that when you feel rejected or that you're not good enough by your own family members it's awful hard to understand. That's about all that I wish to say at this time.

I feel so grateful for The KNGDOM—it is rich in truth, thoughtfully taught, and clearly interpreted, and has truly deepened my understanding of God’s Word. Thank you to our wonderful teacher/student! Mike, you have such a beautiful heart, and your faithful, clear, and insightful teaching brings Scripture to life. And to those who share at the end of each lesson, thank you for your openness and reflections. I truly appreciate everyone who shares—you bring even greater depth, richness, and encouragement to this journey.

In Genesis 26, Isaac’s stability does not come from land ownership, political power, or control over resources. He is a sojourner, repeatedly displaced as wells are taken from him. Yet God’s promise anchors him: “Do not fear, for I am with you.” (Gen. 26:24) Isaac’s life is marked by movement, uncertainty, and vulnerability—but also by divine presence. Hebrews 13 echoes this same foundation when it says: “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” (Heb. 13:5) Common thread: Security is not found in possession or position, but in God’s abiding presence

Genesis 25:21 stood out to me in a powerful way today. It’s striking to consider that the future of God’s redemptive plan for humanity rested on Isaac having children. The covenant promise—the lineage through which the Messiah would eventually come—depended on it. And yet, God allows Isaac’s wife, Rebekah, to be barren. That tension feels intentional. Despite the certainty of God’s promise, conception does not happen automatically. Scripture tells us plainly that Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, and only then did she conceive. God’s plan was sure—but Isaac’s participation still mattered. This challenges a subtle but dangerous assumption I often carry: If something is God’s will, it will happen regardless of my involvement. But the God of Scripture doesn’t operate that way. Again and again, He invites His people into active partnership. He doesn’t bypass prayer, obedience, or faith—even when the outcome is already woven into His purposes. God’s sovereignty does not negate human responsibility; it dignifies it. This passage reminds me that even when something is ultimately in God’s hands, He still desires my engagement. He wants my prayers, my trust, my persistence. Not because He needs them—but because relationship has always been at the center of His will. I want to internalize this truth: faith is not passive resignation to God’s plan, but active participation in it. And sometimes, the very thing God has promised is waiting on us to pray.
