March 14th 2025 – Wake up Call from God

“Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I keep Your word.” (Psalm 119:67)

Sometimes, life throws challenges our way to grab our attention. When we stray from the right path, it’s as if God gently nudges us back, hoping we’ll reconsider our choices.

Take Jonah, for example. He was chosen to deliver a message to the Ninevites but instead chose to run in the opposite direction. In his disobedience, God didn’t abandon him; rather, He pursued Jonah because of His love. Just like that, God often reminds us that we can’t stray too far without Him noticing. He can guide us back to where we need to be.

As the psalmist reflects, “Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I keep Your word.” Sometimes, it takes a difficult moment for us to realize what truly matters.

Have you ever had a wake-up call? Maybe you weren’t feeling well and finally decided to see a doctor. When the test results come back with concerning news, it can feel like your world is turned upside down. In that moment, you might promise to change, be more devoted, and appreciate life more. But once the storm passes and you hear that everything is okay, it’s easy to slip back into old routines. What happened to those promises?

If you’ve experienced that wake-up call, here’s some advice: Stay awake!

Life might not make sense right now, but trust that it will eventually. Remember, the Devil can’t touch a believer without God’s permission. God remains in control of every situation we face.

“God is in control of all circumstances that surround the life of the believer.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, You have my attention! I ask for Your forgiveness for times I’ve done things my way and drifted from Your path. I commit to seeking You earnestly and listening to Your guidance. Your Word brings life, and I want to fill my heart with it. Thank You for being my constant support and for all You’ve done for me. You are so good, and I am truly grateful. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 5th 2025 – In Your Peace, I will Find My Way

Leave a reply

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” (Isaiah 26:3)

In the midst of life’s storms, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, especially for those grappling with addiction or burdens that weigh heavily on the heart. The world often throws distractions and temptations our way, leaving us feeling lost and unsure of our path. Yet, in these moments of struggle, we can find solace in the promise of God’s peace.

Isaiah 26:3 reminds us that perfect peace is reserved for those who keep their minds steadfast and trust in the Lord. Trust is not merely a passive acceptance; it is an active decision to lean on God’s understanding rather than our own. When we place our faith in Him, we invite His peace to wash over us, soothing our anxious thoughts and guiding us on our journey.

Imagine walking through a dense fog, where every step feels uncertain and treacherous. But then, a light pierces through the gloom—a beacon of hope showing the way. This is what God’s peace does for us. It illuminates our path, allowing us to navigate through our struggles with clarity and strength.

When we surrender our worries and addictions to Him, we create space for His serenity to fill our hearts. This doesn’t mean that challenges will vanish; rather, it signifies that we do not face them alone. God walks with us, offering His guiding hand.

Take a few moments to sit in silence. Reflect on what burdens you are carrying today. Breathe deeply, and as you exhale, visualize releasing those burdens into God’s hands. Allow His peace to envelop you, reminding you that in His embrace, you will always find your way.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In moments of doubt and fear, help me to trust in You fully. I lay down my struggles and addictions at Your feet, knowing that with You, I can find my way. Fill my heart with Your serenity, and let it guide me in every step I take. May I always remember that in Your presence, I am safe and loved. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

February 28th 2025 – Solitude in the Silence

1 Reply

“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

In our fast-paced world filled with constant noise and distraction, finding moments of solitude can seem almost impossible. Yet, it is in these quiet spaces that we often encounter God most profoundly. Solitude is not merely the absence of noise; it is an intentional retreat into the presence of God, allowing Him to speak to our hearts and renew our spirits.

Jesus often sought solitude. He withdrew to the mountains to pray, to spend time with His Father, and to recharge for the work ahead (Matthew 14:23). In these moments of silence, He found clarity, strength, and direction. If the Son of God needed solitude, how much more do we?

When we embrace solitude, we open ourselves to hear God’s voice amidst the silence. It’s a time to lay down our burdens, worries, and distractions. As we sit quietly, we may find that God’s whispers of love, peace, and guidance become more pronounced.

Consider setting aside time each day to enter into solitude. Find a quiet place, turn off your devices, and allow yourself to be still. You might want to meditate on Scripture, pray, or simply listen. It’s in these sacred moments that God can reveal His truths and fill our hearts with His presence.

As you go about your day, seek opportunities for quiet moments. Perhaps during your morning coffee, your commute, or before bed, pause to breathe deeply and invite God into that space. Reflect on how solitude can transform your relationship with Him, inviting you to hear His voice more clearly.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to embrace solitude in my life. Teach me to be still and to listen for Your voice. May I find comfort in the silence, knowing that You are with me. Thank You for the gift of Your presence and the peace that comes from being in communion with You. In Jesus Precious name, Amen.

February 5th 2025 – Kairos (In God’s Perfect Time)

Leave a reply

“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman…” (Galatians 4:4)

In our fast-paced world, waiting is often seen as a burden rather than a blessing. Yet, in the biblical context, the concept of “Kairos” reminds us that there are moments in life that are filled with divine significance. “Kairos” refers to the opportune time set by God—a moment when His purposes intersect with our lives in profound ways.

As we reflect on the lyrics of the song “Kairos,” we are reminded that every day holds promise in God’s perfect timing. In the stillness of dawn, when the world is quiet, we can hear His gentle whisper guiding us through the uncertainties of life. Just as the dawn brings light after the night, God’s timing brings clarity and hope amid our struggles.

When we encounter challenges—mountains that seem insurmountable or moments of doubt—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. However, the assurance of God’s presence reminds us that we are never alone. Every tear we shed is collected with tender care, and every moment of fear can be transformed into a testimony of faith.

In the chorus of the song, we sing, “Kairos, in Your perfect time, every season has a rhyme.” This serves as a powerful declaration that God has a purpose for every season of our lives, even when we cannot see it. Waiting may be difficult, but it is in those times that we grow stronger in faith and learn to trust Him more deeply.

As you go through your day, remember that every moment is an opportunity to experience God’s love and grace. Trust in His perfect timing, knowing that you are held in His embrace. Allow the beauty of Kairos to unfold in your life, and watch for the divine moments that shape your journey.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Kairos—Your perfect timing in my life. Help me to embrace the seasons of waiting with a hopeful heart. May I trust that You are working all things for my good, even when I cannot see the bigger picture. Teach me to find peace in Your presence and to recognize the moments You have ordained for me. Strengthen my faith, so I can wait with anticipation for the good You have in store. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

January 24th 2025 – Embracing the Light of Christ

Leave a reply

Click play to hear this devotion read by the author.

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'” (John 8:12)

In a world frequently overshadowed by uncertainty, fear, and despair, the declaration of Jesus as the “light of the world” stands as a beacon of hope and guidance. Just as a lighthouse steadfastly navigates ships through treacherous waters to safe harbor, Christ serves as our guiding light through the turbulent seas of life.

Consider the experience of traversing a dimly lit room, where each step feels uncertain and fraught with potential hazards. The instant you switch on a light, the entire atmosphere transforms. Clarity emerges, and you can see the path before you, navigate around obstacles, and make informed decisions. In the same way, when we consciously invite Jesus into our hearts and lives, we receive not just illumination for our path, but also a renewed perspective that reveals the beauty of God’s creation and the depth of His love for each of us.

Every day presents us with opportunities to encounter doubt, anxiety, and confusion. It is all too easy to become engulfed by the surrounding darkness and to feel lost amidst the chaos. Yet, Jesus gently invites us to place our trust in Him. By choosing to follow His teachings and embracing His comforting presence, we can undergo a remarkable transformation that dispels the shadows and fills our hearts with divine peace.

Take a few moments to reflect deeply on aspects of your life where you feel the need for the illuminating presence of Christ. Consider how you might actively invite Him into those areas, allowing His transformative light to penetrate your heart and mind, bringing clarity and hope.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for being the radiant light in our lives. We humbly ask for Your guidance in every decision we face. May Your light shine brilliantly within us, illuminating our paths and those of others around us. In moments of despair or confusion, remind us of Your constant presence and unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

January 2nd 2025 – A New Way

Leave a reply

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:18-19)

In these powerful verses, God calls us to release our hold on the past. The Israelites were reminded of their struggles and the weight of their history, yet God offers a profound promise: He is making something new. This same invitation is extended to us today.

Holding onto our past—both the pain and the glory—can often prevent us from experiencing the fullness of what God wants to do in our lives. When we dwell on former things, we risk being stuck, unable to move forward into the new horizons God has prepared for us.

God’s Creative Power:

God’s declaration, “I am making a way in the wilderness,” reminds us that He is always at work, even when we find ourselves in barren or difficult places. The wilderness represents our struggles, doubts, and uncertainties. Yet, God promises to bring forth streams of hope and renewal in those very wastelands.

Awakening Awareness:

The phrase “Do you not perceive it?” encourages us to sharpen our vision. Are we aware of the new things God is doing around us? Sometimes, our focus on the past can blind us to the present and future opportunities God is crafting.

“Take a moment to sit quietly and reflect on the areas of your life that you may still be holding onto. Ask God to reveal the new things He is doing, and listen for His guidance.“

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to let go of the burdens of my past. Open my heart and mind to the new things You are doing in my life. Teach me to trust in Your guidance as You create paths in my wilderness. May I find joy and hope in the streams You are providing amidst my challenges. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

November 25th 2024 – Beautifully Broken

Leave a reply

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. (Job 42:10)

In the midst of our struggles and heartaches, we often find ourselves questioning our worth and purpose. We may feel shattered and lost, struggling to see how God can use our brokenness for His glory. Yet, it is in these very moments of vulnerability that we can encounter the profound grace of Jesus, who specializes in restoration.

The story of Job serves as a powerful reminder of this truth. Job experienced unimaginable suffering—loss of family, health, and wealth. His world was turned upside down, and in his deep despair, he asked God why. But through his trials, Job clung to his faith, and in the end, God restored him. Not only did He bless Job with double what he had before, but He also deepened Job’s understanding of His sovereignty and love.

Just as God restored Job, He desires to mend our broken pieces, transforming our pain into purpose. Jesus invites us to bring our brokenness to Him, to lay it at His feet. In Matthew 11:28, He says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” When we surrender our wounds to Him, He begins the beautiful process of healing and restoration.

Imagine a broken vase, its pieces scattered and seemingly useless. Yet, when placed in the hands of a skilled artisan, those fragments can be transformed into a stunning mosaic. Our lives, too, can become a masterpiece of God’s grace. He takes our shattered dreams and turns them into a beautiful testimony of His faithfulness.

“Remember, in Christ, we are beautifully broken, yet perfectly whole.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the reminder that my brokenness is not the end of my story, but a part of your perfect plan. In moments of pain and struggle, help me to trust in Your restoring love, knowing that You have a purpose for every tear I shed. Open my eyes to see the beauty in my scars, understanding that they are not marks of defeat but testimonies of Your grace and healing.

Lord, I ask that You guide me through this journey of restoration. Fill my heart with hope and remind me that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Teach me to embrace my vulnerabilities, knowing that they allow me to connect with others and share the hope I have found in You. May I be a vessel of Your love, reflecting Your light in a world that often feels dark and broken.

I pray for those around me who are also experiencing pain and hardship. Help me to extend the same grace and compassion to them that You have shown me. Use my story to encourage others, so they may also find comfort and healing in You.

As I walk this path, may I continually seek Your presence, trusting that You are with me every step of the way. Thank You for the promise that You will never leave me nor forsake me. I place my brokenness in Your hands, knowing that You can create something beautiful from every fragment of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

November 21th 2024 – God’s Provision

Leave a reply

“Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” (Matthew 6:32-33)

God promises to meet all our financial needs if we sincerely ask Him for help, learn how to be content, practice giving in faith, maintain our integrity, and trust Him with our lives.

Worry is honestly just a form of not believing in God. Every time you worry, you’re acting like an atheist. You’re saying, “It all depends on me.” That’s not what the Bible says.

Worry is a warning light that indicates doubt in the love of God. Yet, the Bible says God “provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.” (Psalm 111:5)

The book of Romans tells us that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to pay for our salvation. If God loves us enough to send His own Son to die for us, don’t you think He loves us enough to take care of our bills?

Moreover, He solved our biggest problem when He saved us. The bottom line is really this: Am I going to believe that God will do what He says He will do — that He will provide for me?

Plain and simple, God wants us to trust in His provision for our needs, and sometimes that provision requires us to step out in faith and use the resources He has given us. It may not seem like a lot to us, but God can multiply our efforts when we trust Him.

“Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received His message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God — which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.” (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

“God Wants Us to Trust Him”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I ask that You increase within me Your obedient spirit so that I may follow Your instruction. Help me, Lord, to walk by faith and not by sight. I don’t always understand what You’re doing in my life, but I choose to trust You. I ask in true faith that You will provide for my needs. Place within me joy, peace, and rest to endure all that comes my way. Right now, I make the decision to trust You, Lord, because I know that You’re in control of my life, even when it seems to be out of control. Lord, I thank You for clarity, guidance, provision, and strength. I pray and ask for these things in Jesus’ name, Amen.

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. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 15th 2024- Finding Hope in Grief

Leave a reply

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

Grief is a deeply personal journey, one that can feel overwhelming and isolating. When we lose someone we love, it’s natural to experience a range of emotions – sadness, anger, confusion, and even relief. In these moments, it’s essential to remember that God is near to us, especially when our hearts are broken.

Jesus Himself experienced grief, as seen in John 11:35, where He wept at the death of His friend Lazarus. It’s a powerful reminder that grief is not a sign of weakness but a testament to the love we shared with those we’ve lost.

Action Steps:

1. Acknowledge Your Feelings:

Take time to be honest with yourself about your emotions. Write them down in a journal or express them through prayer.

2. Reach Out:

Don’t hesitate to talk to friends, family, or a spiritual leader. Sharing your feelings can lighten the burden and bring support.

3. Create a Memory Ritual:

Consider creating a special ritual to honor your loved one. This could be lighting a candle, planting a tree, or simply spending time reflecting on the happy memories you shared.

4. Seek Comfort in Scripture:

Spend time reading passages that speak to God’s love and comfort. Psalms and the Gospels are filled with encouragement for those who mourn.

5. Be Patient with Yourself:

Grief doesn’t have a timeline. Allow yourself the grace to heal at your own pace.

As you walk through your grief, remember that God is your refuge. He understands your pain and is there to carry you through the darkest days. Trust in His promise that one day, all tears will be wiped away, and we will be reunited with our loved ones in His eternal presence.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in my sorrow, I turn to You for comfort and healing. Help me to navigate this painful time with Your grace. Remind me that it’s okay to grieve and that I am not alone in my suffering. May Your presence bring me peace, and may I find hope in the promise of eternal life through Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you have a personal relationship with Him? That is the ultimate decision you will have to make. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves you and wants to help you.

November 12th 2024 – Finding Hope In The Silence

Leave a reply

“God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” (Psalm 69:6)

As parents, the silence from adult children can feel deafening. The absence of calls and the distance in relationships can leave a profound sense of loneliness and despair. It’s easy to feel like you are just occupying space, longing for a connection that seems out of reach. In these moments, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Jesus understands your pain and is present even in the silence.

Jesus offers us comfort in our loneliness. He reminds us that our worth is not defined by the actions of others but by His unconditional love. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This promise is for you. When feelings of abandonment creep in, take those burdens to Him.

When we feel we like we no longer matter to our children. Let us remember that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. Trust that He is weaving a tapestry of healing and restoration in our families. Keep the faith, for Jesus is our hope and our refuge.

“Jesus invites us to find rest in Him, offering comfort amid loneliness. In prayer, we can bring our feelings of abandonment to God, trusting His presence and plan for our families.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart. The silence from my children weighs on me, and I often feel forgotten. Help me to lean on Your presence and to find comfort in Your love. Fill the void in my heart with Your peace and remind me that I am not alone. Teach me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when they make time to call back or visit. In Jesus’ name Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself 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
