You Choose First
November 11, 2026
Genesis 13:8-9 shows Abraham, the man holding God's promise, letting Lot choose the land first. His deference didn't come from weakness but from deep security in the God who provides. Real courtesy gives up the better seat or the bigger opportunity not because others have earned it, but because God has already given us more than we could ever give away.

The Cursor Is Still Blinking

John 11:40-44 shows that Jesus was Martha’s hope before the tomb was ever opened, and then the story kept going as He called Lazarus out. When our own story feels unfinished, we can anchor our faith in Jesus instead of the outcome, refusing to turn a hard chapter into a final conclusion about God’s character.
