Trading with Jesus

Today I want to spend some time in Book of Proverbs chapter 2, and I think this chapter hits especially hard for anyone walking the journey of trading, entrepreneurship, or building anything that requires patience and discipline. The chapter opens by telling us that if we seek wisdom like silver and search for it like hidden treasure, then we will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowl...

Good morning and welcome back to Trading With Jesus. It’s Monday, a brand new week, and before we jump into charts, setups, profits, losses, or the emotions that come with trading, I want us to anchor ourselves in Book of Proverbs Chapter 1. Right out of the gate, God gives us a powerful reminder: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” That...

Today we’re anchored in the Book of Proverbs 13:11, where the scripture says, Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it. That verse speaks directly to how we approach growth, especially in trading, because naturally we want things fast. Fast wins, fast payouts, fast progress. But the scripture gives a warning… what comes quickly without foundation us...

Today we’re anchored in James 1:5, where the scripture says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. That verse is simple, but it’s something a lot of people overlook, especially in trading.

Today we’re anchored in the Book of Psalms 27:14, where the scripture says, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”. That verse is simple, but it hits hard, because it goes directly against what most people naturally want to do, especially in trading.

Today we’re anchored in Gospel of Matthew 5:10, where Jesus Christ says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” That verse flips the way we normally think, because Jesus is saying you can be blessed even when things feel difficult, even when you’re facing resistance, even when doing the right thing costs you.

Today we’re anchored in Romans 4:1–12, where the scripture teaches that Abraham was made righteous not because of what he did, but because he believed God. “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” — Romans 4:3. That’s a major shift because it shows that right standing with God is not earned through performance, it’s received through faith.

Today we’re anchored in Gospel of Matthew 5:8, where Jesus Christ says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5:8. That verse is powerful because it shifts the focus from what you do… to why you do it. Jesus isn’t talking about outward performance, He’s talking about the condition of your heart. Because you can look disciplined on the outside, but internally be driven...

Good morning fam!! Welcome back to Trading with Jesus. Today we’re anchored in Gospel of Matthew 5:6, where Jesus Christ says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” — Matthew 5:6 (ESV). That verse hits because it exposes what you’re really chasing. Hunger and thirst aren’t casual, they’re intense, they’re urgent, they’re necessary. And Jesus is s...

Today we’re stepping back and resetting our perspective. We’re anchored in Gospel of John 8:58, where Jesus says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” That statement is powerful because Jesus isn’t just saying He existed before Abraham, He’s saying something much deeper. He doesn’t say “I was”… He says “I AM.” That’s the same name God gave in Exodus, which means Jesus is not jus...

Today we’re anchored in Book of Revelation 1:17–18, where Jesus says, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.” — Revelation 1:17–18.

Today we’re anchored in Book of Isaiah 41:4, where the scripture says, “Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.” — Isaiah 41:4. That verse is God reminding us that He’s not just part of the story… He’s over all of it.

Today we’re anchored in Hebrews 1:8–12, where the scripture says something powerful about Jesus: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever…” — Hebrews 1:8. That right there is God the Father speaking about the Son and calling Him God. That means Jesus is not just a teacher or a guide, He is God, and He is King with an authority that never ends.

Today we’re anchored in the Book of Daniel 7:13–14, where the scripture says, “with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man… And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom… his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away.” — Daniel 7:13–14. That right there is a direct prophetic picture of Jesus. Before the New Testament ever reveals Him fully, this is point...

Today we’re anchored in the Gospel of John 10:27–30, where Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27. That right there is relationship. Not just believing in Jesus, but being close enough to recognize His voice. And that’s important because there are a lot of voices out there. Fear, doubt, social media, other traders, your own emotions. And if you’re n...

Today we’re anchored in Book of Proverbs 30:3–4, where the scripture says, “I have not learned wisdom… Who has ascended to heaven and come down? …What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!” — Proverbs 30:3–4. That’s powerful because it starts with humility. It’s basically saying, “I don’t have it all figured out.” And that right there is the beginning of real wisdom.

Today we’re anchored in Book of Psalms 22:14–18, where David writes, “I am poured out like water… my strength is dried up…” — Psalm 22:14–15. That’s deep exhaustion. That’s not just being tired, that’s being empty. Mentally, emotionally, physically. And trading can take you there fast. Not just losses, but the pressure, the constant decision-making, the weight of trying to stay disciplined when ev...

Today we’re anchored in Book of Psalms 23:3, where David writes, “He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” — Psalm 23:3. That verse hits deep because it shows two things we all need: restoration and direction.

Today we’re anchored in Acts 4:31, which says, “And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” — Acts 4:31. What stands out is that they didn’t wait until everything felt good to pray, they prayed in the middle of pressure. They were threatened, tested, and unc...

Today we’re anchored in Acts 1:8, where Jesus says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses…” — Acts 1:8. That verse shifts everything from your ability to God’s power. A lot of people are trying to stay disciplined, control emotions, and be consistent in their own strength, but that only lasts for so long. Your strength runs out, your emoti...

Today we’re anchored in Book of Proverbs 29:25, and this verse cuts straight to the heart of fear, pressure, and people-pleasing. “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” — Proverbs 29:25 That word “snare” means trap. And honestly, a lot of people are trapped without even realizing it. Trapped by opinions. Trapped by validation. Trapped by comparison. Trapped by the...

Today we’re anchored in Galatians 5:16, and Paul the Apostle says: “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”— Galatians 5:16 That verse is powerful because Paul is revealing that there’s a constant battle happening internally. The Spirit pulls you toward discipline, peace, patience, wisdom, and alignment with God. The flesh pulls you toward impulse, emotio...

Today we’re in First Corinthians 15, and this chapter is all about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the victory He secured over death, and the eternal hope believers now have because of Him. Paul the Apostle makes it clear that the resurrection is not a side issue, it is the foundation of everything. He says, “…Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures… he was buried… he was rais...

Today we’re in First Corinthians 14, and this chapter is all about maturity, clarity, self-control, and making sure what you’re doing actually builds people up instead of creating confusion. Paul the Apostle keeps bringing everything back to one central idea: spiritual maturity is not chaos, emotionalism, or drawing attention to yourself. Real maturity produces peace, order, clarity, and alignment...

Today we’re in First Corinthians 13, and this chapter is one of the most important chapters in all of scripture because it reveals what real spiritual maturity actually looks like. Paul the Apostle makes it clear that knowledge, gifting, sacrifice, talent, and ability mean absolutely nothing if love is missing.
