A few reflections to begin with
If you have just arrived at Taking Domain, welcome. This page is a doorway.
There are over sixty reflections here, and the easiest way to discover the writing is not to start at the top of the blog and scroll down. It is to walk through these few — chosen because they show what this space is about.
They follow no rigid order. Read whichever title pulls you in first.
When the ground beneath you shifts
The Battle Is Not Ours
A reflection on 2 Chronicles 20 — written from a real season of business hardship, and what Jehoshaphat showed me about standing still when there is nothing left to fight with.
When Opposition Changes Its Face
From Ezra and Nehemiah. The opposition we face rarely comes the same way twice. Sometimes it walks in as friendship.
Before the Giant, There Were Lions
Before David faced Goliath, there were quieter battles no one watched. A reflection on the hidden work that prepares the visible victory.
When God feels close, distant, or unclear
The Sound in the Balsam Trees
A small line in 2 Samuel that shows the difference between rushing forward and waiting for God’s signal.
Healing Begins When We Look Up
A reflection from Numbers 21, on what changes the moment our eyes turn upward.
Thunder in the Wheat Harvest
From 1 Samuel 12 — what harvest reveals about where our trust actually rests.
When obedience costs something
God and Earrings
A reflection on Exodus 32 and what the people willingly handed over — and what that quietly reveals about loyalty.
The Cost of Staying Faithful
The Levites had cities, land, and a settled life. They walked away from all of it. A reflection on quiet faithfulness during loud seasons.
Pursue, Overtake, Recover
From David at Ziklag — what to do when everything has been taken, and how God still leaves a way back.
