August 3rd 2025 – Trusting Others in a World Full of Sin

Leave a reply

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

In a world filled with imperfect people, the question of trust can weigh heavily on our hearts. We know that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). This inherent flaw in humanity can lead to doubt and fear in our relationships with others. How can we trust others when we ourselves are broken?

The answer lies not in the perfection of those around us but in the unwavering faithfulness of Jesus Christ. While humans may disappoint us, Jesus remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). His love is unconditional, and His promises are true. We can trust Him fully because He is without sin and embodies perfect love.

Moreover, God has given us His Word, a reliable source of truth. Scripture serves as a guide, reminding us of His character and the trustworthiness of His promises. In moments of uncertainty, we can lean on the truths found in the Bible, allowing them to anchor our faith and provide clarity in our relationships with others.

If you have ever experienced a deep-rooted dishonesty from people you once trusted, it often manifests as increased caution towards others. Here is an exercise and application that helped me.

  1. Examine Your Heart: Reflect on any areas in your life where trust has been broken. Consider how these experiences shape your view of others.
  2. Seek God’s Guidance: Spend time in prayer, asking God to help you trust Him more deeply. Ask for His wisdom in your relationships.
  3. Practice Trust: Identify someone in your life you can extend trust to, despite their imperfections. Take small steps to foster that trust.

Remember, while we may struggle with trust due to our human nature, our ultimate trust should always be placed in our Lord and Savior, who is the embodiment of truth and love.

“Trust may be fragile, shaped by the honesty of others, but true strength lies in placing our faith in the unchanging love and truth of Christ.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unwavering love and faithfulness. Help us to trust in You above all else, especially when it feels difficult to trust those around us. Remind us that while we may be flawed, Your grace is sufficient for our weaknesses. May we find comfort in Your Word and rely on Your promises as we navigate our relationships. Teach us to extend grace and understanding to others, just as You have done for us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

August 2nd 2025 – Jesus, The Great Physician

Leave a reply

“And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.” (Deuteronomy 7:15)

God is not the author of sickness and disease; He is the source of health and well-being. Our Father is constantly seeking ways to bring healing to His children, not to take it away. A thorough study of the scriptures reveals that our God is a God who heals. The Bible affirms that Jesus and the Father are one, and everywhere Jesus walked on this earth, He never inflicted sickness upon anyone.

As Acts 10:38 states, Jesus “went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.” This illustrates that sickness originates from the devil, a consequence of the fall. When Satan entered the world, he introduced fear and all its destructive works, but God sent Jesus to eradicate them for us. What a loving Father we serve! He is the “Great I Am,” not the “I Want To Be.” He is actively at work in us, guiding us toward healing and restoration.

If it were up to the devil, he would keep us in a state of sickness and despair. Do you truly believe that the devil would provide us with doctors, nurses, and healers? No, he would not. Our Heavenly Father has graciously given us His Word for healing and provided us with skilled professionals because of His immense love for us.

So today, reject any lies from the enemy. Embrace all that is good and comes from God, your Heavenly Father. He loves you deeply and has given everything for you. Learn His ways, and the illuminating truth will always expose the darkness of the devil.

“Let Dr. Jesus heal your soul.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of praise, acknowledging Your goodness in every circumstance I face. I trust that You desire nothing but the best for us, and when sickness and disease from the enemy intrude upon our lives, You provide paths to healing. May this healing encompass not just our bodies, but our spirits as well.

Today, I stand in faith and receive Your healing in my body and soul in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that I am healed, for Your Word promises that You do not give sickness. In this moment, I choose to immerse myself in Your love and grace, knowing that You are my refuge and strength.

Lord, help me to recognize Your presence in my life amidst challenges. May Your healing touch restore every part of me—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Surround me with Your peace and guide me in Your ways, illuminating the path ahead. I will share this healing with others, testifying to Your goodness and mercy.

Thank You, Father, for Your unfailing love and for the healing that is already manifesting in my life. In Jesus’ precious name, I pray, Amen.

Facing a serious illness without Jesus will get very overwhelming, you may even feel all alone.  If you do not know Him 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

July 30th 2025 – Strength In Forgiveness

Leave a reply

“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” (Ephesians 6:10)

In Ephesians 5:22-6:9, God’s Word provides us with guidance on marriage, family, and work relationships. Every connection we cultivate—whether harmonious or challenging—involves imperfect people. When God calls us to submit to one another, He invites us to trust Him, recognizing that none of us are perfect. Jesus emphasizes the importance of extending forgiveness continually.

“Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.'” (Matthew 18:21-22)

In the heat of relational challenges, God offers us the opportunity to believe and trust in His glorious promises of forgiveness and grace. It is through faith that we can envision healing in our relationships. When we face points of contention with disdain or a lack of forgiveness, we risk allowing worry and fear to take root. It’s crucial to anchor our focus in God’s eternal promises, especially in a world that often feels temporary and fleeting.

“Broken relationships can be healed.”
“As God offers us Forgiveness and Grace, so should we.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, grant me the strength to apply Your Word through Your Spirit in all my relationships. Help me to rise above the temporary frustrations and fix my gaze on the eternal truths. Thank You for Your forgiveness. I ask for the grace to forgive others, especially when painful memories resurface. Remind me to let go of the burdens of bitterness, as I trust in Your promise of freedom. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

July 24th 2025 – Look To Jesus And Believe

Leave a reply

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith…” (Hebrews 12:2)

In the first church I attended, we often sang an old hymn that resonates deeply with me: “Look to Jesus and believe, look to Jesus and receive.” How true this is! When we set our sights on Jesus and place our trust in Him, everything begins to fall into place. My desire is for my life to reflect Him, much like a mirror reflects our image.

This scripture reminds us to focus on Jesus, the One who initiated the work within us and the One who will see it through to completion. The Bible expresses it beautifully: “…fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.” I find comfort in this; my role is simply to keep my eyes on Him, allowing Him to handle the rest. He began this work in my life long ago, and whether you’ve known Him for years or just a few days, it’s reassuring to know that He is committed to perfecting the work within us.

I often say, “It’s all about Jesus.” When I step aside and let Him reign as Lord and King of my life, everything seems to align. Conversely, when I place myself on the throne, that’s when chaos ensues. After all, He created us, and He is more than capable of finishing the good work He started.

Today, take heart. Your life is in the palm of His mighty hand, and He will not let you down. What a relief to know that He began this journey with you and will bring it to a perfect conclusion. Isn’t that a wonderful promise?

“God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I Love You.’”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, today I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. I am encouraged, for I know that what You have started in my life, You will bring to completion. This journey is not about my strength or ability; it’s about You, Jesus, shining through me by the power of the Holy Spirit. Help me to keep my focus fixed on You, trusting that You cannot fail. As I navigate the challenges of life, may I always remember that my hope is anchored in You. Thank You for loving me so deeply that You gave Your life for me. In Your precious name, I pray, Amen.

July 20th 2025 – Testimony of Life

Leave a reply

“And when Baal-Hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pai. His wife’s name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. Hadad died also. And the chiefs of Edom were Chief Timnah, Chief Aliah, Chief Jetheth, Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar, Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.” (1 Chronicles 1:50-54)

Remembering where you came from and where you are going makes up your individual, one-of-a-kind testimony. There is power in the testimony of your life. Revelation 12 talks about believers overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. So, what if your past does not include the seedier things of life? Well, the Bible is clear that we we were all on a death row sentence. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Through His grace and the faith-gift of God, He saves us. Once saved you are a child of God – a priest and a king. There are two people in the Bible who are called both a priest and king – Jesus and you. Now, you are saved and will spend eternity with God.

In a world that is wracked with fear and uncertainty, people need to hear your testimony. Share it and talk about it. Share not in a prideful or bragging way, but out of the joy of your heart. Your testimony could be the very thing that leads someone else to come to Jesus. It might be what they have been waiting for.

“Remember where you came from, who you are and where you are going.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We love You and Praise You in all circumstances. Thank You for the gift of Your Son. I am so grateful for the grace and mercy You have given me. Lord, I want to be a vessel used to glorify Your name. Give me the boldness to share my testimony without fear and uncertainty. Give me the spirit of humility so that I may be used to minister in the lives of others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Don’t go through life without Jesus. If you do not know Him personally, accept the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. 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. 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

July 10th 2025 – The Ultimate Goldsmith

1 Reply

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderers’ soap.” (Malachi 3:2)

Have you ever watched a goldsmith in action? It’s an amazing thing to watch him heat up this precious metal and pour it into molds to harden so that it can be handled. But before he is able to pour it into a mold, he must first remove any impurities. These impurities, or dross, cannot be cut out of the gold or rubbed off. In order to remove the dross, the goldsmith must first heat the metal to incredible temperatures. Once this is done, the dross rises to the top and the goldsmith is able to scrape it off thus purifying the metal.

This is what our Father in Heaven desires to do in each and every one of our lives. He desires to mold us and shape us more and more into the image of His Son, Jesus. To do that, He must often lead us into His refiner’s fire where He will skim our imperfections off the top. Most of the time this is not a pleasant process, but we can trust that God has our best interest at heart. Like the ultimate goldsmith, God knows how much heat we can endure and how much handling we require. It’s in His loving hands that we are refined so we reflect our Father’s handiwork.

“God desires to act as refiner and purifier in our lives.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for Your work in my life and for Your refiner’s fire. While it may be difficult during those times of trial and purifying, I praise You because I know it is for my good. Lord, continue to skim the dross from my life so that I may be a shining example of Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

July 8th 2025 – The Comforter Within

Leave a reply

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” (John 14:16-17)

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are gifted with the Holy Spirit, our constant companion and guide. This divine presence dwells within us, transforming our hearts and minds. The Holy Spirit acts as our Advocate, comforting us in times of distress, guiding us in the truth, and empowering us to live according to God’s will.

Imagine the profound reality of having the Spirit of God living within you. This is not just a theological concept; it is a life-changing truth. The Holy Spirit brings peace in chaos, joy in sadness, and strength in weakness. He reminds us of God’s promises and helps us to understand His Word more deeply.

Consider how often we may feel alone or uncertain in our journey of faith. Yet, the Holy Spirit reassures us that we are never abandoned. He intercedes for us, even when we do not know what to pray (Romans 8:26). In every situation, we can rely on His wisdom and guidance.

Take a moment to sit in silence and invite the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. Reflect on how His presence has made a difference in your life. Consider areas where you need His guidance or comfort today.

This week, make a conscious effort to acknowledge the Holy Spirit in your daily activities. When faced with decisions or challenges, pause and ask for His guidance. Keep a journal of moments when you felt His presence, and share these experiences with others to encourage their faith.

“The Holy Spirit is not just a visitor in our hearts; He is the constant companion who empowers us to live out our faith boldly and beautifully.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Help me to be more aware of His presence in my life. May I listen to His guidance and lean on His strength. Fill me with Your Spirit, so that I may reflect Your love and truth in all that I do. In Jesus name, Amen.

July 3rd 2025 – The Healing Touch of Jesus

Leave a reply

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3)

In our journey through life, we often encounter moments of deep pain and sorrow. The emotional wounds we carry can feel heavy, leaving us feeling fragmented and lost. Yet, in these moments, we are reminded of the incredible promise found in Psalm 147:3: Jesus, our healer, not only mends our broken hearts but also has the power to heal our physically damaged hearts.

Consider the story of the woman who touched Jesus’ cloak in faith. She had suffered for many years with a debilitating condition, yet her trust in His healing power restored her physically and spiritually. Jesus turned to her and said, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering” (Mark 5:34). This moment illustrates that Jesus’ healing touch transcends both emotional and physical afflictions.

When we experience heartache, whether from loss, betrayal, or illness, it’s easy to feel isolated in our suffering. But Jesus walks alongside us, understanding our pain intimately. Just as He raised Lazarus from the dead and restored the sight of the blind, He is capable of healing our physical bodies as well. His love is not limited to our spiritual needs; it encompasses our entire being.

Take a moment to reflect on areas in your life where you seek healing. Write down your thoughts and prayers, and surrender them to Jesus, trusting in His ability to mend both your heart and body. Remember, His healing power is not bound by our limitations; it is a testament to His love and grace.

Prayer:


Heavenly Father, thank You for being the healer of our hearts. We bring before You our emotional wounds and the physical ailments that weigh us down. Help us to trust in Your power to heal, both in our spirits and our bodies. May we find comfort in knowing that You are with us in our suffering, offering hope and restoration. Strengthen our faith, Lord, and help us to share Your healing love with others. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

June 30th 2025 – The Mighty Anvil

Leave a reply

“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

It has been said that the Bible is an anvil that has worn out many a skeptic’s hammer. This powerful imagery reminds us that the truths contained in Scripture are unwavering and eternal. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the profound implications of this reality.

The unchanging nature of God’s Word signifies that our sins can be forgiven:
“In Jesus Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

It means we can become children of God:
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” (John 1:12)

It means we can look forward to a glorious eternity:
“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2)

These promises are the foundation of our faith and the source of our hope. For those who know Jesus as Savior, His Word assures us of love, joy, and peace that transcends our circumstances. In a world filled with uncertainty, doubt, and conflicting messages, we must anchor ourselves in the timeless truths of Scripture. The Bible has endured the test of time, proving itself reliable and steadfast. When we trust in its promises, we find rest for our souls.

“Jesus and the Bible are both completely reliable and trustworthy.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You in gratitude for the countless promises found in Your Word. Thank You for the assurance that I am forgiven, that I am Your child, and that my future is secure in You. Help me to internalize these truths, allowing them to transform my heart and mind.

In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, I ask that You protect me from fears and doubts that can cloud my judgment. Grant me the courage to stand firm on Your Word and to share its hope and truth with those around me. Empower me to be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your love and grace to others who may be struggling.

Lord, as I navigate the challenges of today, remind me that Your promises are my anchor. May my faith not waver, but instead grow stronger as I lean on You. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and help me trust that You are working all things together for my good. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

June 28th 2025 – God Will Come Through

2 Replies

“Then the king said, ‘What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?’ And the king’s servants who attended him said, ‘Nothing has been done for him.’” (Esther 6:3)

In the story of Esther, we find Mordecai in a challenging situation. Despite his loyalty and hard work for the King, he faced grave danger due to the malicious actions of one man. Yet, amidst this turmoil, a remarkable turn of events was on the horizon. The very individual who sought to destroy Mordecai would soon be the one tasked with honoring him in a grand parade.

This narrative serves as a powerful reminder for us today. There may be times when our lives feel upside down, when our worship, service, and generosity seem to go unnoticed. It can be disheartening when things don’t appear to be falling into place. But remember, God has a way of turning our situations around in an instant. His plans for us are infinitely more magnificent than anything we can imagine.

Take heart in knowing that God sees every effort you make in His name. Life may present us with trials, but the promise remains: those who trust in Him will experience joy, both in this life and beyond. His faithfulness is unwavering, and He will come through for you in His perfect timing.

“As believers, we may, for a season, feel unappreciated, but we will never go unrewarded.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unwavering faithfulness and for the assurance that You are always by my side. In moments of doubt and uncertainty, help me to lean into Your promises. Strengthen my faith and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so I may live with an open heart, anticipating the incredible plans You have in store for me. May I find peace in the waiting and joy in the journey, knowing that You are working all things together for my good. Help me to be a beacon of hope and encouragement to those around me, reflecting Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
