Hello Pastor Adam,

Thank you for your encouraging and thoughtful response to Pastor Rocky. You beautifully captured the essence of Matthew 28:20: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This verse is a powerful reminder of Christ’s enduring presence, especially in times of uncertainty. Your reflection highlights how this promise serves as a steady anchor, assuring us that we are never alone—whether in moments of triumph or trial.

A complementary verse that deepens this message is Psalm 32:8: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” This passage reveals God’s intimate involvement in our journey, not only walking beside us but actively guiding and teaching us. It reassures us that His counsel is both personal and protective, offered with love and attentiveness.

Your insights on obedience and its ripple effect are especially meaningful. When we choose to listen and follow God’s leading, even in small decisions, we create a testimony of trust that others can witness and be encouraged by. Making space for prayer, seeking wise counsel, and grounding our choices in Scripture are practical ways to cultivate a life of discernment. These habits help us remain sensitive to the Spirit’s promptings and grow in spiritual maturity.

You asked, “In what ways have you seen God's direction bring clarity in seemingly small, everyday choices?”. I’ve found that even simple decisions—like choosing how to respond to a difficult conversation or where to spend time—can be transformed when submitted to God. His peace often confirms the path, and over time, these small acts of obedience build a life marked by purpose and grace.

How has God used a small act of obedience in your life to produce a greater impact than you expected?

Blessings, Pastor Ruben
