Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "cost". We find it in this verse of Scripture in the New Testament.

Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?  KJV

This is the Greek word "dapane. Strong's Concordance says: to devour, expense (as consuming).  There is a price to pay for every promise inthe Word of God! JESUS has already paid HIS part. OUR part is to study and meditate on the Word of God until the understanding comes and faith rises! Everything that has been provided for us in our new and better Covenant will COST us time, energy and faith to believe and receive! There are moments when it can seem HARD and may also seem to take a long time, BUT, the main thing is that God's PROMISES are OURS and HE has no lack! Here, to illustrate this TRUTH is Brandon Lake with a new song called "Hard Fought Halleujah":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
