At this time of Hanukkah, which is a remembrance of the rededication of the Temple, let us renew and rededicate our hearts to our God and King, that we may shine as lights in the world!
Joseph was brought low so that he might receive the promotion God intended for him – that he would be raised up as a savior for Israel.
Jacob was given a new name just before he was brought back to the Promised Land. So too, new believers in Yeshua receive a new name and a new identity.
Our hope is rooted in the truth of who God is, and who we are in Him. When we face a crisis with confidence in Him, He brings wholeness on the other side.
