OneWordStudy+FollowWhy Am I Still Afraid of Death After All These Years of Faith? Many believers don’t admit this out loud. They’ve believed for decades, yet the fear never fully left. In Scripture, the word pachad is often translated as fear. But it doesn’t mean panic. It means an ongoing awareness of vulnerability. The Bible never assumes faith removes fear of death. It assumes humans remain aware of their limits. If death still unsettles you, it doesn’t mean your faith is weak. It means you’re human—and Scripture never denies that. Faith doesn’t erase mortality. It teaches us how to face it honestly. #FearOfDeath #HebrewWord #ChristianFaith #AgingAndFaith #BibleDepth84Share
OneWordStudy+FollowThe Bible Knows What It’s Like to Be Tired of Believing There is a kind of exhaustion that comes after decades of faith. Not doubt. Not rebellion. Just weariness. Isaiah uses yaga—a word meaning worn down from long labor. Not from sin. From endurance. This tiredness is never condemned in Scripture. It’s named. Repeatedly. If belief feels heavier now than it did before, you’re not drifting—you’re carrying weight. God doesn’t shame tired believers. He speaks to them softly. #SpiritualFatigue #HebrewInsight #LongFaith #BibleDepth #ChristianAging161Share
OneWordStudy+Follow“God Is With You” Meant Something Much More Physical We often hear “God is with you” as emotional reassurance. A comforting idea. A spiritual thought. But in Hebrew, ‘immak implies presence with weight. Not distant attention, but nearness that stays. In the ancient world, presence meant shared risk. If God is “with” you, He does not observe from safety. So when life narrows—health, roles, independence— this promise does not thin out. It thickens. God is not cheering you on from afar. He is standing in the room. #GodWithUs #HebrewMeaning #BibleDepth #FaithInAging #ChristianReflection12112Share
OneWordStudy+Follow“The Word Became Flesh” Feels Different Now I used to hear John 1:14 as something beautiful and distant. Holy words. Elevated meaning. But the Greek word is sarx. Real flesh. Breakable flesh. Aging flesh. That stopped me. Because my body doesn’t feel elevated these days. It slows down. It hurts. It limits me. And then I realized—God didn’t become an ideal human. He stepped fully into physical weakness. Not watching it. Living it. That thought stayed with me. God doesn’t just understand my limits. He chose to share them. #OneWordStudy #ChristmasDevotional #FaithAndAging #BibleDepth #ChristianReflection 253Share
