Someone, anyone, something. Tis. Scripture often hinges on this small word: if anyone thirsts, let him come. The invitation is unrestricted. No one is excluded from the call.

To come beside, to arrive, to appear. When he came to himself he said how many of my father's hired servants have food to spare. Coming to yourself is the first step home.

Happy, fortunate. Phēlix. Felix was a Roman governor who heard Paul's defense and trembled, yet delayed obedience for a more convenient time. Privilege and position are no substitute for response.

One's own, private, personal. Idios. What belongs to you alone, your particular life and calling. Steward it faithfully.

Woman, wife. Gynē. From Eve to Mary, women occupy indispensable roles in the story of redemption. Honor her.

To be, to exist. Eimi. When God names himself I AM, he uses this word. Existence itself belongs to him. Ground your identity in the one who simply is.

The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.

Jesus. Iesous. The Greek form of Yeshua meaning the LORD saves. The name given before His birth. In His name is salvation healing and authority over every power of darkness.

Faith, trust, belief, faithfulness. Pistis. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith is the currency of the kingdom. Everything flows to those who trust God completely.
