September 30th 2025 – Good vs Evil, Pick Your Side

Leave a reply

“Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?” (Luke 12:51-56)

As we reflect on the words of Jesus in Luke 12, we are reminded that His mission was not merely to bring peace, but to create a clear choice between good and evil. Jesus spoke of division, and as we look around us today, it is evident that this division continues to manifest in our world, especially in the realm of politics and morality.

The current political landscape reveals a struggle that echoes the division Jesus described. Many voices claim that division is a negative force, yet, as believers, we must recognize that standing for God’s principles often leads to separation from those who oppose them. We are witnessing a moment in history where the lines are being drawn—not just between political parties, but between the fundamental values of good and evil.

Consider the man who stands before us, who ran for the highest office in the land, using his own resources, facing relentless opposition from those in power. This is not merely about one individual, but about the broader implications of where we, as a society, choose to align ourselves. You may have observed family members and friends shifting their political allegiances, reflecting a deeper awakening to the issues at hand. This is not just a matter of red versus blue; it is a spiritual battle manifesting in our everyday lives.

In these times, we have seen muiltple attempts on the life of this man, revealing the lengths to which some will go to maintain the status quo. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, It is a stark reminder that the battle between good and evil is very real and present in all of our lives. The division Jesus spoke of is not just theoretical; it is alive and impacting our lives today.

As Christians, we must discern the policies and practices that align with God’s laws. This is a call to examine where we stand—not just politically, but morally and spiritually. Are we choosing to support what aligns with the heart of God? Are we recognizing that our votes carry the weight of our values?

While it is easy to critique individuals, the true challenge lies in understanding the broader choice we face: to stand for God’s laws or against them. The current climate is a reflection of this spiritual battle. The Republican party may not be perfect, but there is a growing recognition among many that its core principles align more closely with biblical values than those of the opposing side.

As we meditate on today’s scripture, let us ask ourselves: Are we interpreting the signs of our time with clarity? Are we willing to make a stand, even if it means facing division? Jesus’ call is clear. He invites us to choose Him, to stand for righteousness, and to be lights in a world that desperately needs it.

Let us pray for wisdom and courage as we navigate these challenging times. May we always seek to align ourselves with the truth and stand firm in our faith, knowing that the battle between good and evil is ultimately won by our Lord.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging the complexities of our times. Thank You for the gift of Your Word, which guides us and illuminates our path. As we reflect on the division Jesus spoke of, we recognize the reality of the spiritual battle that surrounds us.

Lord, we ask for discernment in these challenging days. Help us to see clearly the choices before us—between good and evil, between Your ways and the ways of the world. Grant us the wisdom to recognize the signs of our times, and the courage to stand firm in our faith.

May Your Holy Spirit fill us with the strength to uphold Your biblical standards and principles, even when faced with opposition. Help us to be beacons of Your light, reflecting Your love and truth in a world that often feels dark and divided.

We pray for our leaders, that they may seek Your guidance in their decisions. May their hearts be turned toward righteousness and justice, aligning their actions with Your will.

As we navigate our relationships, help us to engage in conversations rooted in love and understanding. Let our words and actions be a testament to our commitment to You, drawing others closer to Your embrace.

Lord, we ask for healing in our families and communities, where division has taken root. Bring reconciliation where there is strife, and unity where there is discord.

We place our trust in You, knowing that ultimately, You are sovereign over all. May we remain steadfast in our commitment to righteousness, standing boldly for Your truth, even when it is unpopular. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

September 27th 2025 – The Unfolding of Biblical Prophecy

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)

In our ever-changing world, the Bible stands as a timeless beacon of truth. The prophecies contained within its pages are not merely historical records; they are living truths that resonate with our current experiences. As we witness the tumultuous events unfolding around us—natural disasters, societal upheaval, moral decay and now the recent news of a possible war with Russia—it becomes increasingly clear that the words of Scripture are coming to fruition.

The prophets of old spoke of a time when the hearts of many would grow cold (Matthew 24:12) and when nations would rise against nations (Matthew 24:7). Each day, we see these signs manifesting in ways that stir our hearts and minds. Yet, amidst this chaos, there is a profound message of hope: Jesus Christ is our anchor in the storm, our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).

This is a call to action, a divine invitation to draw closer to Him. If you have not yet established a relationship with Jesus, don’t wait until it’s too late. The time to get right with the Lord is now. The Scriptures remind us that today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Imagine living in the assurance that you are loved, forgiven, and destined for eternity with Christ. The beauty of the Gospel is that no matter how far we may have strayed, His arms are always open wide, ready to receive us. He wants to transform our lives, offering us not just a way out of our current struggles but a new life filled with purpose and joy.

“Embrace the unfolding of God’s prophecy with an open heart, for in every sign of His promise, there lies the invitation to draw closer to Jesus and experience the transformative power of His love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with grateful hearts, acknowledging Your sovereignty and faithfulness. As we witness the unfolding of Your prophetic word in our world, we are reminded of the urgency to stand firm in our faith. Help us to discern the times and to remain steadfast in our commitment to You.

Lord, ignite a passion within us to share Your truth and love with those around us. May we be bold witnesses of Your grace, reflecting Your light in a world that often feels dark and chaotic. Strengthen our resolve to seek You daily in prayer and in Your Word, growing deeper in our relationship with You.

As we navigate these challenging times, grant us wisdom and courage to hold fast to our hope in Christ. Help us to be a source of encouragement to one another, reminding each other of Your promises and the eternal future we have in You.

Thank You for the gift of salvation and the assurance that You are with us always. May our lives be a testament to Your love and a beacon of hope for those who are lost. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.

If you feel a stirring in your heart and desire to know Jesus personally, I invite you to pray this prayer.

Salvation Prayer:

“Dear Jesus, I come to You today recognizing my need for You. I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again, conquering death so that I might have eternal life. I ask for Your forgiveness and invite You to be my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow You and to grow in my relationship with You. Thank You for Your love and for the gift of salvation. In Your holy name, I pray, Amen.”

September 26th 2025 – Power of Words

1 Reply

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21)

In the quiet moments of our day, we often underestimate the profound impact our words can have. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that our tongues possess the incredible power to shape our reality and influence the lives of others. Every word we speak can either lift someone up or tear them down, bring hope or despair, foster love or stir conflict.

Consider how Jesus used His words during His ministry. He spoke to the weary and burdened, offering rest and hope. He called forth Lazarus from the tomb with just a command, illustrating that His words were not mere sounds but conduits of divine power. As followers of Christ, we are called to emulate this example, using our words to reflect His love and grace.

As you go about your day, take a moment to observe your conversations. Are your words bringing life? Consider ways you can intentionally speak life into situations—offering compliments, words of encouragement, or simply listening with compassion.
This week, make a conscious effort to use your words to uplift those around you. Write down three positive things you can say to others and share them. Notice how your words create a ripple effect of positivity and encouragement.

“Let your words be seeds of life; with each kind utterance, you cultivate a garden of hope in the hearts of those around you.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of speech. Help me to be mindful of my words and to use them to bring life, encouragement, and healing to those around me. May I speak with kindness and purpose, reflecting Your love in every conversation. Teach me to recognize the weight of my words and to choose them wisely, so that I may bear good fruit in my life and the lives of others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Asking Jesus into your heart is a profound step toward a personal relationship with Him. It’s a moment of surrender, where you acknowledge your need for His love and grace. This decision opens the door to a new life filled with hope, purpose, and the assurance that you are never alone. If you feel a stirring in your heart, take this step of faith and invite Him in. Click here  to explore how surrendering to Him can lead you to a life of peace and fulfillment!

September 12th 2025 – Strength in Weakness

Leave a reply

“That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:10)**

Have you ever considered that God can turn the very plans of the enemy into opportunities for our growth? It’s true—He can transform our trials into blessings. You might wonder, “How is that possible?” In times of pain, struggle, and weakness, everything may seem bleak. Yet, if we remain rooted in Christ, we can echo Paul’s words: “For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

What Paul conveys is profound: “In my own strength, I am weak, but in the Lord, I find true strength.” This strength is not just any strength; it is the strength of God Himself. We often perceive the most blessed individuals as those who face no challenges, but the reality is quite different. Sometimes, the most blessed among us are those who have faced the fiercest battles and emerged victorious by leaning on God.

When we rely on Him, we tap into infinite power and authority. On our own, we may struggle to overcome challenges. However, through Christ’s strength, we can conquer all!

“There are times we might think we can manage a situation on our own, but we must remember: when we trust in the Lord, we are never mistaken.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You today, acknowledging my limitations and weaknesses. I seek Your boundless strength to navigate the challenges in my life. Though the path may be tough, I trust that with You, all things are possible. Please transform my weaknesses into a testament of Your power. I don’t just want to be strong; I yearn to be God-strong. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

September 10th 2025 – Spiritual Weapons

Leave a reply

“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21)

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by fear, doubt, or the weight of life’s challenges? In those moments, it’s crucial to remember that we are not defenseless. God has equipped us with powerful spiritual weapons—His Word. The verses we reflect on today are not mere text; they are life-giving declarations that hold the power to drive away the enemy and break the chains of bondage.

The Power of Words
Proverbs teaches us about the power of our words: “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21). By speaking the promises of God, we align our hearts and minds with His truth. When we declare these scriptures in faith, we activate their truth in our lives.

Freedom from Fear
In times of struggle, remember 2 Timothy 1:7, which reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” We are not meant to be paralyzed by anxiety; instead, He equips us with the strength to face any adversity.

Joshua challenges us in Joshua 24:15, saying, “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.” This verse empowers us to make a deliberate choice to stand firm in our faith and serve the Lord wholeheartedly, reinforcing our resolve against fear.

The Assurance of Perfect Love
In moments of fear, let 1 John 4:18 remind you that “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.” Embrace God’s love, and let it fill you with courage and confidence. His love is the antidote to our fears, reminding us that we are safe in His embrace.

Lastly, James gives us a powerful directive: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7). This assurance reminds us that when we stand firm in our faith and submit to God, the enemy has no power over us.

Practical Application
Take a moment to reflect on these scriptures. Choose one verse each day to meditate on, allowing it to sink deep into your heart. Write it down, speak it aloud, and let it transform your mindset.

Create a “Spiritual Weapons” card with the verses listed above. Keep it with you as a reminder of the power you possess through God’s Word. Whenever you feel fear or doubt creeping in, pull out the card and declare these truths over your life. Let them be the weapons that help you walk in victory.

“Strength doesn’t come from never feeling fear; it comes from choosing to rise above it with faith and love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for equipping me with Your Word as my spiritual weapons. I come before You with gratitude for the strength and guidance You provide in my life. I declare Proverbs 18:21, acknowledging the power of my words and the impact they have on my life and those around me. Help me to choose my words wisely, speaking life and truth over my circumstances, so that I may reflect Your love and grace in all I say and do.

I claim 2 Timothy 1:7, rejecting fear and embracing the power, love, and sound mind that You generously provide. Remind me that fear has no place in my heart, for You are my refuge and strength. I commit to serving You wholeheartedly, as Joshua reminds me, choosing each day to prioritize my relationship with You and to walk in Your ways.

With 1 John 4:18, I receive Your perfect love that drives out fear. Fill me with Your love, so that I may overflow with it to others and face challenges with courage. I trust that Your love will guide me through any darkness I encounter.

Finally, I stand firm against the enemy, trusting Your promise in James 4:7. I resist the lies and doubts that seek to ensnare me, knowing that You have already won the victory. Empower me to hold fast to Your truth and to walk boldly in faith.

In Jesus’ name, I declare victory over my fears and bondage. May Your peace fill my heart and mind, leading me toward a life of purpose and joy. Amen.

September 7th 2025 – The Healing Power of Prayer

Leave a reply

“And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” (James 5:15-16)

In moments of pain and suffering, it’s easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. Yet, we are reminded that we have access to a powerful source of healing through prayer. Jesus, during His time on earth, demonstrated His healing power countless times—restoring sight to the blind, making the lame walk, and even raising the dead. His compassion knew no bounds, and His love continues to reach us today.

Prayer is not just a ritual; it is a heartfelt conversation with our Creator. It’s an invitation for Him to intervene in our lives. When we pray with faith, we align ourselves with God’s will and invite His healing presence into our circumstances. Whether healing our bodies, minds, or spirits, Jesus is eager to respond to our cries for help.

Take a moment to reflect on your own needs or the needs of those around you. What burdens are you carrying that need the touch of Jesus? Remember that no prayer is too small or too great for Him to handle. When we pray, we open the door for God’s grace to flow into our lives, allowing healing to take place.

“Through the power of prayer, we invite Jesus into our pain, transforming our wounds into testimonies of His healing grace.”

Prayer for Healing:
Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your healing touch. You know the struggles I face and the pain I carry. I place my trust in Your promises, believing that Your power can heal every wound and restore every broken part of my life.

Lord, I lift up those who are suffering, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. May Your healing hand rest upon them, bringing comfort and renewal. Help us to remember that even in our darkest moments, Your light shines through.

Strengthen our faith, O Lord. Teach us to pray boldly, believing that You hear our cries and that You are already at work. Thank You for Your everlasting love, and for the assurance that we are never alone in our struggles. In the name of Jesus, our Healer, we pray. Amen.

As you go through your day, carry this prayer in your heart. Trust in Jesus, knowing that His healing power is just a prayer away.

August 31st 2025 – His Gentle Voice

Leave a reply

“Then He said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.’ Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” (1 Kings 19:11-12)

In this powerful moment, we find the prophet Elijah, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, following God’s command to go to the mountain and wait. Like many of us, Elijah might have expected a dramatic display of power—a showstopper that would affirm God’s presence. God did send spectacular events: a violent wind that split mountains, an earth-shaking quake, and a consuming fire. Yet, His voice was not in any of these awe-inspiring phenomena.

How often do we, too, crave the extraordinary? We often search for God in the loud and the dramatic, only to overlook the gentle nudges of His Spirit. The truth is, most of the time, God speaks to us in the quiet moments—through that still, small voice within us. This voice is the Holy Spirit, patiently guiding us if we allow ourselves to be still and listen.

Jesus reminds us in John 10:27, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” If our focus is always on the external—on the “winds, fires, and earthquakes” of life—we risk missing the profound ways God communicates with us. It’s essential to remember that God is Spirit, and true worship comes from a heart that seeks Him in spirit and truth.

There’s a beautiful song I used to listen to called “Heart to Heart,” which captures the essence of our relationship with God. It’s not just about words; it’s a deep connection—spirit to Spirit. So today, I invite you to carve out some time amidst your busy life. Find a quiet space, silence the distractions, and just be still. Open your heart and your mind to hear what your Heavenly Father is saying to you. Trust me; you won’t be disappointed by what He reveals.

“Amidst the storms and chaos of life, it is in the quiet stillness that we truly hear the whispers of God, guiding our hearts toward His truth.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the promise that Your sheep know Your voice. I come before You as one of Your flock, seeking to deepen my connection with You. Teach me to recognize Your voice amidst the noise of life and to hear You distinctly and clearly. Help me to discern the spirits that speak to me, so I may know which are from You and which are not. As Your Word tells us, we must test the spirits to see if they align with Your truth.

Lord, I pray that You draw me closer to You, so that I may always recognize and respond to Your voice, never straying to listen to the voice of a stranger. May our relationship grow stronger each day, as I seek to worship You in spirit and truth. I ask for Your guidance and wisdom, that I may walk in Your light and reflect Your love. May my heart be open to hearing Your gentle whispers. I pray all these things in the name of Jesus, my Savior. Amen.

August 29th 2025 – Keep Looking Up

1 Reply

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)

In today’s world, it often feels like we are facing an endless wave of challenges. From natural disasters to political upheaval, economic instability to social unrest, the headlines can be overwhelming. For many, these events evoke fear and uncertainty. If this world is all there is and it’s clearly unpredictable and broken, how can anyone find hope? Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to view these circumstances through a different lens—a biblical perspective that offers clarity and assurance.

Jesus warned us about tribulations. Scripture reminds us that due to sin, our world is indeed affected by brokenness and chaos. But here’s the good news: this is not the final chapter. Yes, we see the evidence of a fallen world in the rise of natural disasters and tragedies that echo throughout history, much like the horrific events we witnessed on 9/11. Yes, these occurrences may intensify as we approach the culmination of time. BUT, this is not the end.

When calamity strikes, look up. When you see suffering around the globe, look up. When you experience personal grief or loss, look up. When you observe society and governments turning away from God, look up—because your redemption is drawing near. In the end, Jesus will put an end to all suffering. He will restore and heal this fractured world. Until that day arrives, we are called to lift our heads high and proclaim the peace that is found in Jesus. While sin has caused these issues, we hold fast to the truth that Jesus will ultimately resolve them.

In these trying times, let us not only look up but also extend our hands to those who may feel lost. Share the hope you have in Christ with others, reminding them that even in the darkest moments, there is light to be found.

“No matter what the future holds, we can know WHO holds the future.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace and the unshakeable peace I can have through Jesus. Help me to trust You in every situation, no matter how difficult it may seem. Each time I encounter the pain and suffering of this world, remind me to look up and find solace in the promise of Your return. Fill my heart with boldness to share this hope with others, so they too may experience Your love and healing. May Your Spirit guide me to be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your grace and truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

August 27th 2025 – What If We Chose Our Bible Over Our Smartphones

Leave a reply

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

Imagine a world where we treated our Bibles with the same care and attention as we do our smartphones. What if we carried them everywhere, checked them frequently, and turned to them for guidance in every situation? This devotion invites us to reflect on our relationship with God’s Word and how we might deepen it by adopting habits inspired by our smartphone usage.

  1. Always Accessible: Just like our phones are readily available, we can keep our Bibles nearby. Whether it’s in our bags, on our nightstands, or even on our coffee tables, having the Word of God close at hand reminds us to turn to it throughout the day. Consider designating a specific spot for your Bible—a place where you can easily reach for it, just as you would for your phone. This small change can encourage you to engage with the Scriptures more often.
  2. Regular Check-ins: How often do we check our notifications, scroll through social media, or respond to messages? Imagine if we checked our Bibles with that same frequency! Setting aside moments each day—perhaps during lunch breaks, while waiting in line, or before bedtime—to read a verse or two can transform our spiritual lives. You might even consider setting reminders on your phone to prompt you to open your Bible, creating a daily habit of seeking God’s Word.
  3. Seeking Guidance: When we face challenges or tough decisions, we often reach for our phones to search for answers or advice. What if we turned to Scripture first? Instead of Googling our problems, we could seek wisdom in God’s Word. The Bible is full of verses relevant to our struggles, providing comfort, encouragement, and direction. Try keeping a journal to jot down questions or concerns, and then spend time praying and looking up verses that address those issues. Allow the Bible to be your first source of guidance.
  4. Sharing with Others: We frequently share posts, memes, and updates with friends and family. What if we shared verses or insights from our Bibles instead? Encouraging others with Scripture can foster community and uplift those around us. Consider starting a group chat where you share daily verses or thoughts, or simply send a verse to a friend who might be struggling. This not only enriches your own faith but helps build a support system rooted in God’s Word.
  5. Avoiding Distractions: Just as we sometimes put our phones away to focus on important tasks or meaningful conversations, we should create space to engage deeply with our Bibles. Finding a quiet moment to meditate on Scripture can deepen our understanding and relationship with God. Consider setting aside specific times for focused Bible study—free from distractions—where you can immerse yourself in His Word without interruptions.
  6. Staying Updated: We often keep our phones updated with the latest apps and notifications. How can we apply this to our spiritual lives? Regularly reading the Bible allows us to stay updated with God’s teachings and promises. Consider joining a Bible study group or following a reading plan that challenges you and keeps you accountable.

This week, set a goal to treat your Bible like your phone. Carry it with you, check in regularly, and seek its wisdom before turning to other sources. Notice how this practice transforms your daily life and spiritual growth. Reflect on the insights you gain and how they influence your decisions and interactions with others. Embrace the opportunity to deepen your relationship with God through His Word, just as you would with a trusted friend.

“True strength lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we do, fueled by faith and the courage to keep moving forward.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to cherish Your Word as I do my phone. May it be my guide, my source of comfort, and my constant companion. Teach me to seek You in Scripture, to share its truths, and to make time for Your wisdom amidst the distractions of life. Remind me that Your Word is alive and active, ready to speak into my circumstances. Amen.

August 26th 2025 – The Apple Seed

Leave a reply

“Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.” (1 Corinthians 15:36)

God is an incredibly creative force in our lives. In His infinite wisdom, He not only creates fruits and vegetables that sustain us but also provides seeds that hold the promise of new life and growth. Each seed is a testament to the potential that lies within.

Recently, as I was slicing an apple to share with my pet chickens, I found myself reflecting on the hidden potential within that seemingly simple fruit. As I removed the seeds, I contemplated how many trees could emerge from those tiny seeds. While we can count the seeds and imagine the number of trees they could yield, what remains beyond our comprehension is the sheer abundance of apples that could spring forth from just one seed over the years.

This thought may seem ordinary, but let’s delve deeper into its application in our lives. When we earnestly ask Jesus for forgiveness and embrace the gift of being born again, we become like that seed, planted in fertile ground. Just as a seed must die to itself to sprout anew, our old selves must fade away to make room for the new life God has in store for us. As we surrender our lives to Christ, we unlock an extraordinary potential to impact the world around us.

The Lord gazes upon our lives with a profound understanding of our journey. He knows the countless times we will stumble, the moments of triumph, and the lives we will touch along the way. He holds the power to transform our lives into a fruitful harvest, but the question remains: Are you ready to produce? Are you prepared to grow and bear fruit? When you wholeheartedly commit your life to Christ and walk in obedience, you’ll witness remarkable transformations—not because you are the perfect seed, but because He is the perfect gardener. Trust Him, and watch as the harvest unfolds before your very eyes.

“Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your unwavering love and grace that surround me daily. I am grateful for Jesus and the incredible gift of salvation that comes through Him. Lord, I praise You for Your faithfulness and ask that You help me fully grasp the impact my life can have when dedicated to Your purpose. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me to be fruitful for Your Kingdom. May I trust in Your plans and embrace the growth You desire for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
