Most of us know the exclamation, "Hark!" from the well-known Christmas hymn, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," written by Charles Wesley. In both the Old and New Testaments, we find the word "hark," or its meaning, woven into Scripture as a divine call: to declare, to command, to protect, and to warn. Join me on today's episode as we look at how we are to "Harken" in these different ways.

In this story of perseverance and pain, I shared my experience hiking two intense Make-A-Wish trails back-to-back, ultimately pushing my body to the brink.

Everyone is tempted, but how we handle trials and temptation is very important to our walk with Jesus. Temptation is not a sign of weakness; it's an opportunity to grow stronger, to depend more deeply on Christ, and to press forward with the crown of life in view. So don't give up. Your steadfastness matters. Victory is possible, and blessings are promised to those who overcome!
