Today’s WordThroughout Scripture, God often called people by a name that reflected their future rather than their present situation. He called Gideon a mighty warrior when Gideon felt weak and hidden. He raised David to defeat giants when he was only a young shepherd.

Today’s WordThe story of Joseph shows how powerful forgiveness can be. Betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, Joseph spent many years in hardship far from home.

Today’s WordGod’s dream for you is strength, courage, and mighty exploits. Not a life defined by intimidation or limitation, but one marked by bold faith. When you truly know who you are and who your God is, you will not retreat from giants—you will move toward them with confidence. The promise is not just exploits,
Today’s WordBefore King Saul ever called for him, David had already been anointed by the prophet Samuel to be the next king of Israel.
