November 17th 2025 – Speak Life Into Others

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“Then his wife said to him, ‘Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!'” (Job 2:9)

Reflection:

In the Book of Job, we are introduced to a man of remarkable character—Job, a blessed and righteous man living in the land of Uz. The Lord praises Job, which prompts Satan to challenge his integrity, suggesting that Job serves God only because of the protection he receives. Through immense suffering, Satan aims to break Job’s faith, inflicting pain and grief upon him.

We might speculate that Satan spared Job’s wife because of her carnal nature. However, we aren’t told much about her faith prior to this moment. Perhaps she had a strong relationship with the Lord before they lost their wealth, home, and children. As she witnesses her husband’s torment, her desperate plea to “curse God and die” may reflect her own despair, a moment of giving up hope.

This scenario serves as a reminder that any of us can find ourselves in similar situations. During tough times, it’s all too easy to speak negatively or lose sight of faith. We must be vigilant, avoiding words that contradict God’s truth, especially when we’re struggling. Instead, let us be the ones who speak life, truth, and love. God can use us to bring healing to those who are hurting and empower us to be witnesses for His glory, even in our own trials.

“In the midst of our trials, let us choose to speak life, for our words have the power to heal, uplift, and reflect the love of God.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for empowering us through Your Spirit to speak life and blessings, even during hard times. We are grateful for Your unwavering presence in our lives, guiding us through moments of despair and uncertainty. Help us to be vessels of Your love, showing compassion and understanding to those who are hurting around us.

Grant us the wisdom to choose our words carefully, especially when we ourselves are in pain. May we always remember that our words have the power to uplift or discourage, and let us strive to be a source of encouragement. We pray for those in our lives who are facing difficult situations—bring them comfort, strength, and hope. Surround them with people who can support and inspire them in their darkest hours.

Lord, help us to remain steadfast in our faith, even when trials come our way. May our lives reflect Your grace and truth, so that we may shine Your light in a world that so desperately needs it. Use us as instruments of Your peace and love, empowering us to be a blessing in all our relationships. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

November 10th 2025 – Strength in Unity: Finding Hope Together

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” (Psalm 50:15)

Reflection:

When we face significant disappointments, our instinct often is to retreat and go into hiding. We think we should handle everything on our own, keeping our setbacks, failures, or crises to ourselves. But isolating ourselves is one of the worst things we can do.

In times of disappointment, crisis, or loss, it’s crucial to reach out to God and lean on your friends. Accepting help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s part of being human. We weren’t meant to bear our burdens alone. We’re designed for connection. Remember, God’s first statement in the Garden of Eden was, “It’s not good for man to be alone.” We thrive in relationships.

“When desperate people give up on God Almighty, their friends, at least, should stick with them.” (Job 6:14)

There will be moments when you’re in so much pain that you might find yourself saying, “I can’t even believe in God right now!” In those times, it’s vital to have friends around you who can say, “That’s okay. We’ll believe for you until you can believe for yourself.”

And when doubts creep in, and you feel like your faith is slipping away, that’s when you need your friends to step up and say, “We’ve got your back. We’ll have faith for you and trust God together.”

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2). What is this law? It’s simple: Love your neighbor as yourself. The Bible encourages us to support one another. Every time you lend a hand to someone in pain, you’re living out this command.

Trying to handle everything on your own will only leave you feeling more exhausted and overwhelmed. So don’t run away or shut out your friends and loved ones. Embrace their support and let them help carry you through tough times. Jesus is just a call away, and He already knows what you’re going through. He’s reaching out to you. Will you answer His call?

“True strength isn’t found in solitude, but in the courage to lean on others and share the journey together.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to trust You in every circumstance. Strengthen my faith and remind me that I am Your child, loved and cherished. Thank You for the wonderful people in my life who stand by me when I need support. I believe that all things are possible if I place my trust in You without doubt and stand firm on Your Word. Because You say it’s true, I trust, and I believe that as I do, I will see the results! Thank You for Your constant presence in my life. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

April 25th 2025 – Caring For Those Who Struggle

Leave a reply

“To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold–I speak foolishly–I am bold also.” (2 Corinthians 11:21)

How do you treat those who are struggling? Whether it’s those at your work or a stranger on the street. Maybe it’s an adult child that struggles with drugs or a elderly parent at the end of stages their life. How you treat them tells a lot about yourself.

Why is that the case? Simply because those who are weak and struggling are not often in a position to help us or pay us back. When we care for the less fortunate or minister to those who are barely hanging on, we do so knowing there is no physical benefit. The opposite is also true if we refuse to help those in need because there is no benefit for us, it clarify our motives.

In 2 Corinthians 11, Paul begins sharing everything he endured for the sake of others. He did so because his motives were being questioned and yet, he was able to clearly say that he endured all that pain so that the lost would hear the good news. This is what I desire for my own life, I also do not want to live my life with regrets that I didn’t do my best. My prayer is that more feel the same. Unfortantally we don’t often see that in this world anymore..

Today is the day to look around for those in your life who may be weak,  hurting or struggling. Let’s serve them with the love of Christ, so that they would be blessed. It may cost us something, but it is worth it in the end.

“How we treat those who are weaker tells a lot about us. But don’t be discouraged by those who are not ready for our help or care. In that case, pray for them.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,  Forgive me for any times I may have helped people with ulterior motives. Give me a heart for those who are in need and the strength to serve them. I desire to give of myself for the benefit of others, no matter the cost. Fill me with Your Spirit and teach me through Your Word. Please forgive me when I tend to want to give up or figure things out in my own reasoning. Help me to remain obedient, faithful, and filled with Your Spirit to lead, guide and direct me in all things. Please give me patience and compassion in all situations. I love You lord. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

January 28th 2025 – Shipwrecked, Cling to Your Faith

Leave a reply
Click to have devotion read by the author.

“Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.” (1 Timothy 1:19)

Recently, California has faced devastating wildfires, leaving many communities in distress and uncertainty. As flames engulfed vast areas, families were forced to evacuate, and homes were lost. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected, as they navigate the challenges and heartache that come with such a catastrophic event.

In our journey through life, we all desire smooth sailing, yet storms and unforeseen challenges often arise. Unlike storms that can be spotted from afar, disasters strike suddenly and without warning. Life can throw us unexpected trials that leave us feeling unprepared and bewildered.

The apostle Paul faced three literal shipwrecks in his lifetime (see 2 Corinthians 11:25). You might think that would deter anyone from the ocean! Yet, Paul also warned of spiritual shipwrecks—when individuals allow their faith to falter. He urged Timothy to “cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear,” noting that some had strayed from this path, leading to their spiritual demise (1 Timothy 1:19–20).

I’ve witnessed people lose their faith in the face of tragedy, often stating, “I’ve lost my faith through this.” However, I believe that true faith is resilient. The faith that cannot withstand trials is not genuine faith at all. The Bible reminds us that “when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow” (James 1:3).

If your faith falters under pressure, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate its foundation. Let go of any fragile faith and embrace a stronger, more authentic belief in God. When crises arise, our faith should not crumble; rather, it should deepen as we cling to the Lord during turbulent times.

“Disasters will come—perhaps not today, tomorrow, or even next week—but they are inevitable. Prepare yourself spiritually.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I am thankful that You are my Rock and a constant source of support in times of need. When I feel adrift and lost, remind me of Your unwavering love and faithfulness. Lead me to trust Your Word over my emotions. I choose to hold tightly to my faith in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Is Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?

Maybe you once followed Him, but feel lost now, consider this prayer of salvation or recommit your life to Him.

Salvation Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your love and grace. I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, who died for my sins and rose again, conquering death and offering me eternal life.

Lord, I repent of my sins and ask You to cleanse me with Your precious blood. I invite You into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Help me to walk in Your ways and grow in my faith each day.

Thank You for the gift of salvation and for the assurance of Your presence in my life. I commit my life to You, trusting in Your plan and purpose for me.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
