June 24th 2025 – Finding Significance in God’s Presence

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:13-14)

Loneliness can often feel like a heavy cloak that we cannot remove. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel insignificant or that our presence goes unnoticed. We may struggle with the feeling that we are not needed, leading to a deep sense of isolation.

However, as Christians, we are reminded through Scripture that our worth does not come from how others perceive us, but from God’s perspective. Psalm 139 beautifully illustrates that each of us is intentionally created and wonderfully made. This truth is foundational; it tells us that we are significant in God’s eyes.

When you feel lonely or insignificant, it’s essential to turn your heart and mind toward God. Here are some steps to consider:

Pray: Engage in honest conversation with God. Express your feelings of loneliness and ask for His comfort and reassurance. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us to present our requests to God, promising that His peace will guard our hearts.
Seek Scripture: Dive into the Word. Verses like Matthew 11:28 invite us to come to Jesus with our burdens. Reading stories of individuals in the Bible who felt alone, such as Elijah or David, can provide comfort as we see how God was present with them in their struggles.
Connect with Others: Reach out and connect with fellow believers. Community is vital in combating loneliness. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages us to consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together.
Serve: Sometimes, focusing on helping others can lift us out of our feelings of insignificance. Galatians 5:13 reminds us to serve one another humbly in love. This act can help us realize that our contributions matter and that we are needed in God’s family.
Reflect on God’s Promises: God promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Meditating on His faithfulness can provide solace in times of loneliness.

“In times of loneliness, let us remember we are never truly alone; God is always with us, and He has a plan for each of our lives.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us of our worth in Your eyes. Help us to find comfort in Your presence when we feel lonely and insignificant. May we seek connection with You and with others, recognizing that we are part of a greater purpose in Your kingdom. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

June 23rd 2025 – You Are Gods Masterpiece

Leave a reply

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Consider a mound of clay. On its own, it may appear unremarkable—a mere collection of dirt. Its true beauty lies dormant, waiting for the touch of the potter. When the potter begins to work, that unassuming pile transforms. As He skillfully presses and shapes, the clay becomes pliable. With careful precision, the potter removes the excess, revealing what lies within. What started as a formless mass is sculpted into a stunning masterpiece.

“And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.” (Jeremiah 18:4)

Just like that clay, we often find ourselves in a state of disarray. We may attempt to mold our lives, but true transformation comes only from the hands of the Heavenly Potter. When God enters our lives, He begins the delicate process of reshaping us into the likeness of His Son, Jesus. With each firm press of His hand, we are renewed. Each scrape of His tools helps to remove the sin that clings to us. Though this process may bring discomfort, it is a journey worth taking. God knows our needs, and as the perfect potter, His loving hands will sculpt our lives into something far beyond our comprehension. All we must do is surrender to His will.

“God desires to craft a masterpiece from your life.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I confess my resistance to Your transformative touch. I recognize my need for Your molding hands in my life. Please place me on Your potter’s wheel, carve away the sin that hinders me, and shape me into a vessel ready for Your Kingdom’s work. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 22nd 2025 – Embracing the Silence

Leave a reply

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

As a parent, many have adult children that choose not to, or have very limited contact with thier parent’s after they leave home. For those who are or have experienced this, the pain of estrangement can feel like a heavy weight on your heart. You may find yourself questioning where things went wrong, replaying moments in your mind, and grappling with feelings of abandonment. It’s easy to feel isolated, especially when your adult children have chosen silence over connection.

In the midst of this pain, you may also face judgment from others. Friends, family, or acquaintances may hear about your situation and jump to conclusions, assuming you must have done something wrong. Their judgment, often based on limited understanding, can add to your heartache. It’s painful when others fail to see the complexities of family dynamics and the unique struggles that you face.

In these moments of deep sorrow, we must remember that our worth is not defined by our relationships with others, no matter how painful the current situation may be. God sees your heart and knows the love you have poured into your children. He understands the confusion and hurt that come when they turn away, and He knows the truth of your situation.

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of God’s sovereign plan for our lives. Even when we cannot see the way forward, we can trust that He is working behind the scenes for our good and His glory. Perhaps this time of estrangement is an opportunity for growth—for you, for your children, and within your relationship with God.

Take a moment today to write a letter to your children, expressing your love and hopes for reconciliation. Even if you never send it, this act can be a powerful release of your feelings. When faced with judgment from others, remind yourself that their perceptions do not define your reality. Consider reaching out to a trusted friend or support group who can walk alongside you during this difficult time. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and God is with you every step of the way.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart, burdened by the silence that fills my relationship with my children. I feel lost and abandoned, and I long for the connection we once had. Help me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when I don’t understand them. Grant me peace in the midst of this pain, and remind me that I am never truly alone. May Your love fill the spaces created by estrangement, and may I find comfort in Your presence. I pray for my children, that they may find their way back to You and to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 21st 2025 – How Much Longer?

1 Reply

“They shouted to the Lord and said, ‘O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?’” (Revelation 6:10)

In Revelation chapter 6, we encounter the voices of those who lost their lives for their faith. These martyred souls are in Heaven, fully aware of the injustices occurring on Earth and the suffering of their fellow believers. Their heartfelt cry to the Father resonates: “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long until you bring justice and avenge our blood?” In essence, they are asking, “Lord, this is not right. How much longer must we wait for Your intervention?”

God responds to their earnest prayers:

“Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters—their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred—had joined them.” (Revelation 6:11)

This response reminds us that God’s timing often differs from our own. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

I think back to road trips with my children when they were young. About an hour in, I would hear the familiar question, “How much longer until we get there?” My answers were often reassuring yet vague: “We’re almost there,” or “Just a little bit longer.”

Likewise, the martyred saints are seeking clarity on their vindication, and God simply replies, “Just a little bit longer.” We often find ourselves asking God similar questions: “When will You return, Lord?” or “When will my prayers be answered?” His gentle reminder is always, “Just a little bit longer. Be patient; I am in control and working everything according to My perfect will.”

“God’s delays are not necessarily His denials. So keep praying.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help us to remain steadfast and free from anxiety, especially when we face false accusations or injustices. Empower us to boldly share Your message of salvation with all who will listen until our time on Earth concludes or You return. We are grateful for Your love and presence in our lives. Protect us in these times, and grant us the strength to proclaim Your gospel until the very end. We eagerly await the day of Jesus’ return. Amen.

June 20th 2025 – Open to God’s Correction

1 Reply

Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: “There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land.. “(Hosea 4:1)

We should all be open to correction whether it is from the Bible, from a teaching or from a friend. None of us have it all right. Right and wrong is not determined by society or our culture. Just because things like gambling, abortions and drug use are now legalized. That doesn’t mean it is a good thing. Just look at society as an example. What was called abnormal when I was growing up 1970’s and 80’s is now considered normal. What was good is now bad and bad is now called good.

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

This is why we should always form our opinions and our choices in life on God’s Word.

We don’t always see the WHY we should or shouldn’t do something but that does not negate our responsibility to obey. Even if it’s hard, uncomfortable or even costly, we should be willing to change for the sake of our Lord and King. The good news is that when we walk in obedience, we will find great blessing. In fact, Jesus puts it this way in John 15…

“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:10-11)

“Discipline is correction. God’s correction is an act of love. Love is never punishment.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word. I believe it contains the ways of life and the instructions I need to obey You. Help me to understand Your Word and give me the power to live it out. I desire to lay aside my plans or opinions for the sake of the Gospel. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 19th 2025 – Possessing Faith In the End-Times

1 Reply

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4)

Faith is fundamentally about trusting in God. To have faith means to believe that God will fulfill His promises. This trust forms the core of our Christian journey, shaping both our salvation and our ongoing relationship with the Lord. One of the most challenging aspects of faith often lies in the waiting. God has assured us of many things, including His glorious return, yet the period of waiting can be arduous. It is during these times that we must prioritize trusting God’s promises over the uncertainties we perceive around us.

When we survey the world, we see corrupt leadership, rampant sin, and the enemy causing chaos in lives. In these moments, we may find ourselves crying out, “Lord Jesus, come!” However, as we utter these prayers, we are called to walk in faith. We must believe that God’s plans surpass our understanding. He may be allowing suffering to persist a bit longer to draw others to salvation through Christ. The wonderful truth is that one day, He will return, and when He does, everything will be restored, and our world will be transformed forever. This is not just a comforting fairy tale; it is a profound reality. We hold this truth by faith, anchored in the One who has consistently proven His faithfulness.

“When Christ returns, the world will be renewed, our bodies will be transformed, and evil will be vanquished.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promises found in Your Word. Grant me the faith to trust in those promises, no matter my feelings or the circumstances surrounding me. I wholeheartedly believe that You are God, that Jesus is my Savior, and that He will return one day. Empower me to share this message of hope with everyone around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 18th 2025 – Who or What Do You Worship?

1 Reply

“You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3)

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to become distracted by the many things vying for our attention and affection. The question we must ask ourselves today is, “Who or what do you worship?” Worship is not just about singing songs on a Sunday morning; it’s about what we value most in our lives. It’s about what takes precedence over everything else, what we turn to for comfort, fulfillment, and purpose.

For many, the allure of drugs or alcohol can be a tempting escape from the pressures of life. The fleeting pleasure they provide can often feel like a refuge, but these substances can never fill the void that only Christ can satisfy. They may promise happiness but ultimately lead to despair and separation from the One who loves us most.

Then there’s money, power, and career—often viewed as symbols of success in our society. It’s easy to chase after promotions, wealth, and status, thinking they will bring us happiness. Yet, in the end, they are mere shadows compared to the joy and peace found in a relationship with Jesus. As He reminds us in Matthew 6:24, “No one can serve two masters.” Our hearts cannot be divided; they must be fully devoted to Him.

Possessions, too, can easily take the place of our Savior. We can become so consumed by the pursuit of material wealth that we forget the true riches found in knowing and serving Christ. The latest gadget, the biggest house, or the trendiest clothes will never offer the lasting satisfaction that comes from a life centered on Jesus.

Even our relationships can become idols. While spouses and loved ones are blessings from God, placing them above our relationship with Christ can lead to disappointment and a lack of fulfillment. The truth is, no person—be it a spouse, a celebrity, or a political leader—can ever take the place of Jesus in our hearts.

So, why is it not Jesus? Perhaps we’ve allowed ourselves to be distracted, or we’ve sought fulfillment in temporary things. Maybe we fear what it means to surrender fully to Him, or we doubt His goodness and faithfulness. But Jesus invites us into a relationship of trust and love, assuring us that He is more than enough.

Take a moment to examine your heart. What occupies the highest place in your life? Is it time to reassess your priorities? Are there things you need to let go of to make room for Jesus?

“As you go about your day, remember that true worship is an active choice. Choose Jesus, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to recognize the things in my life that I’ve allowed to take Your place. Teach me to worship You above all else, to find my identity and worth in You alone. Cleanse my heart, and draw me closer to You. I surrender my distractions and my desires to You, trusting that in You, I will find true joy and fulfillment. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

June 17th 2025 – Wars and Rumors of War

1 Reply

“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:6-7)

In our world today, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the news of conflicts, violence, and political unrest. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 that wars and rumors of wars would be part of the human experience. But He also provided us with a profound assurance: we should not be alarmed. These events, while distressing, are part of God’s sovereign plan and do not take Him by surprise.

As followers of Christ, we are called to respond with faith rather than fear. When we hear of conflict, it’s a reminder of our broken world and the need for God’s peace. We are encouraged to pray for those affected by violence and to seek ways to be instruments of peace and reconciliation in our communities.

Take a moment to reflect on how you can be a source of peace in your surroundings. Consider reaching out to someone who may be struggling with fear or anxiety about current events. Share a word of encouragement or pray together.

This week, dedicate time to pray for specific areas of conflict around the world. Let your heart be moved by the plight of others, and act in ways that reflect Christ’s love.

“In the midst of turmoil and strife, remain unshaken; for every conflict is a chapter in a greater story yet to unfold.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You in humble reverence, recognizing the turmoil and strife that plague our world. Our hearts are heavy for those caught in the crossfire of wars and conflicts—men, women, and children who endure unimaginable suffering and loss. Lord, we lift up every person affected by violence. May Your comforting presence surround them, bringing solace amid chaos. We pray for protection over innocent lives and for the provision of essential needs—food, shelter, and safety. Let those who are displaced find refuge and support, and may they experience Your love through the hands of those who serve them.

We also intercede for the leaders of nations, asking that You grant them wisdom and discernment. May they seek paths of peace rather than conflict, and may their hearts be softened to pursue justice and reconciliation. We pray that You raise up peacemakers who will advocate for the vulnerable and work tirelessly to heal divisions.

Lord, we know that in times of desperation, many are drawn to seek answers. We pray for those who do not yet know You, that their hearts may be opened to the truth of Your love and grace. May they seek You wholeheartedly, recognizing that true peace and hope can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Let Your Holy Spirit stir within them, prompting questions that lead to a quest for understanding and faith.

As we navigate the challenges of our world, help us to be beacons of Your light. Empower us to share the Good News of Jesus with those around us, demonstrating Your love through our actions and words. May our lives reflect the peace that surpasses all understanding, inviting others to experience the joy of knowing You.

We trust in Your sovereignty, Lord, and we lean on Your promises. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

June 16th 2025 – If God Gave You A Watch

Leave a reply

“Then what’s the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the ceremony of circumcision? Yes, there are great benefits! First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God.” Romans 3:1-2

A.W. Tozer once said, “If God gave you a watch, would you honor Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch.” God has provided us with the instruction book He authored and it is our responsibility to read it and heed it. Never forget that there are places in this world where simply possessing a Bible brings a death sentence. Many Christians have been martyred and continue to be in astounding numbers across the globe for the very thing which many of us take for granted.

God has blessed you with a Bible and with the freedom to read it. What shall you do with it? Is it simply a ‘coffee table’ book, a drink coaster or a paperweight? Does it sit unused on a bookshelf? The Bible, which God has given you, will keep you and your family from an abundance of pain and trouble. It can save your marriage, your children and even your life, but only if you read, study and apply it. It is the very Word of God.

“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

I want to encourage you to study your Bible. Make certain that you and your family faithfully attend a Bible teaching church. Get into the habit of praying and reading your Bible daily. Lead your family in prayer and devotions. Be diligent to do these things, and you will be amazed by the changes, miracles and blessings that are poured out on you and your family.

“There is a blessing and a responsibility in having a Bible.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving me Your Bible. Please forgive me if I have been slack in reading and studying it. I ask You to give me a hunger for Your Word. Open my heart to receive Your counsel and do the things You tell me. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Do trust Jesus enough with your life? You should, Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus

June 15th 2025 – A Fathers Heart

Leave a reply

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)

Happy Fathers Day to the Dad’s!

A father is a gift to his children. But a father needs to have the heart of the true Father, Almighty God. Of all the attributes that Jesus brought out about Almighty God, the greatest is that He called Him Father. True fathers are not perfect, but they have such a love in their heart for their children that, at times, it feels like their heart wants to burst.

A father wants the best for his kids, yet he knows that the best for his kids is to let them make mistakes and hit bumps in life.

What Is A Dad?

A Dad is someone who wants to always catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.

A Dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt.

A Dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail.

Dads, the greatest thing that we can do for our children is to show them the Father God. Spend time with your children, and be a man of God, and a man that walks in the ways of God. Remember, you are the image of God to your children, so let them see a big, loving Father: one who is there when they need him, and one whose passion is after the heart of the true Father, Almighty God.

“A father’s love is a living lesson; may we fill our hearts with wisdom and share it in every moment, making our homes a sanctuary of faith and guidance.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Today, I make a decision to be the person that my children can look at to see the Father God. Today I make a decision to live a life that says really loudly, “God loves you and so do I” Bless the fathers, who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of parenting. Bless those parents who have lost a spouse to death … or divorce who are parenting their children alone. Strengthen them by your love that they may become the loving, caring persons they are meant to be. Guide them to be good role models and loving to their children. Help them to be a father like You are. Give them grace and patience to handle situations in a loving way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Experience a friend and Father like no other. If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. Jesus loves us and wants to help us through the storms. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus
