"Obedience"—it’s a word that can feel restrictive, like we’re losing control. But what if it’s actually the opposite? Walking in obedience with the Lord doesn't lead to confinement; it leads to freedom, favor, and even miracles. This week, we’re unpacking powerful, faithful examples of what true obedience looks like: Peter: Stepping out of the safety of the boat to walk on water. Mary: Immediately submitting to God’s will, despite an “impossible” message. Noah: Staying faithful to a calling that must have seemed crazy at the time. King Hezekiah: Remaining dedicated and prayerful despite heavy opposition. Jesus: The ultimate example—an obedience that led to the cross. Join me as I summarize these inspiring stories and discover how yielding to God’s will can change everything. 👉 Subscribe to catch the full devotional series! ------------------------------------------------------ Want to learn more about me and my adorable dog, Toto? 🐾 Check out our story: https://www.julieosborne.com/about For more videos, inspiring stories, and cute dog memes, sign up for our bi-weekly newsletter! ✉️ Sign Up Here: http://eepurl.com/bGW0nD 🔔 And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to this channel so you don’t miss a thing! ~ CONNECT WITH ME ~ Website: https://www.julieosborne.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJulieOsborne/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozandtoto/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/author-julie-osborne/ #bible #biblestudy #scripture #bible101 #bibleteaching #biblefacts #biblestudyforwomen #biblebites #biblebits #JulieOsborne #AuthorJulieOsborne #spiritualgrowth #godsword #faith #christianauthor #FollowMe #FollowJesus #WalkonWater #WalkonWaterDevotional #Biblestudy #Jesussaves #Christianliving #Godslove #Faithjourney #matthew1429 #obedienceandfaith #godswill #mothermary #virginmary #noah #Luke22 #kinghezekiah #jesusoncross #gardenofgethsemane Thanks for tuning in as we journey through the Bible together - a bit at a time!

“Come.” With one word, Jesus invited Peter out onto turbulent waters—not a calm sea. Jesus extends that same invitation to us today. While it isn't always easy, it is always transformative. In our lessons this week, we will explore stories of Jesus inviting ordinary people to a new life—from common fishermen to a rejected Samaritan woman at a well.

“Take courage!” When Jesus walked on water toward his terrified disciples, those were his first words. (Matthew 14:27) In the middle of a storm, how do you find strength? Where does courage come from? This week, we’re digging into the lives of heroes who stood firm when their lives were on the line. From David facing the giant Goliath to three friends braving a fiery furnace, we’ll see how they displayed supernatural courage in impossible situations.

Fear. It’s a natural, human reaction. What do you do when fear arrives? It can either paralyze you or change the course of your life. Just like the disciples on the stormy lake, our fears can often blind us to the very Savior standing right in front of us. They didn’t see a miracle; they saw a ghost. In this lesson, we explore five relatable examples of how fear impacts people—real people like us.

The storms have arrived—both in our study and across the country. Grab your book and turn to Week Three as we dive into this timely theme together. This week’s lessons can be particularly challenging. We’re looking at the difficult truth that Jesus often sends those he loves directly into the eye of the storm. It leads us to the ultimate question: Why? These lessons will provide five biblical examples to help you discover the answer to that question. Indeed, there is a purpose in our pain! I hope this week’s devotions help you grow through your storms rather than just get through them.

It’s time to start our Walk on Water study! Grab your book and turn to Week One as we dive into our first theme: “Send.” We’ll explore how Jesus sent out His disciples—sometimes “like sheep among wolves.” As the week unfolds, you will discover relatable biblical figures who responded to God’s calling. We’ll see the sharp contrast between a reluctant Moses, who pleaded, “Please send someone else,” and the immediate obedience of Philip and Abraham. There are so many powerful stories to unpack as we learn what it means to “Go” as Jesus commands.

The story of Esther has come to an end—but it is also a beginning. A festival is born! In these final chapters, we witness a complete divine reversal. What was meant to be a day of mourning becomes a day of celebration.

Haman went to bed happy—the gallows were built, and his archenemy, Mordecai, was set for execution. But an unexpected shift happened overnight. The king’s interrupted sleep changed the entire trajectory of the story. The next morning, Mordecai wasn't assassinated; he was honored with a royal procession. And who did the king choose to lead it, shouting praises for "Mordecai the Jew" through the streets? Haman himself. How did one sleepless night lead to such a dramatic and humiliating reversal for Haman?
