YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture Reading: Psalm 62 Worship Song: There Is Hope   Meditation:      What a privilege it is to bask in God's presence and celebrate the hope we have in Him. When life gets rough and the pressures seem unbearable, remember that we have a comforting Savior who shines His light in the darkest hour. When sorrow is your companion and the storm is raging, let us joyfully turn to Jesus who comforts us in all our tribulations. Don't let the storms of life shatter your peace. Lean on Jesus, the source of true hope, and let Him turn your sorrow into lasting joy and your anxiety into divine peace.       When loneliness creeps in and your friends are no longer around, find solace in the steadfast love of Jesus who is always near and faithful. He is our strong tower, our refuge, our deliverer, and anchor amid devastation. Do not be dismayed but instead be inspired by the hope that flows from our Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, He is inde...

Good morning Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:30-32  Worship Song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      A minister once said we mask bitterness as memory, defend it as justice, and store it as debt owed. Bitterness is like residue that builds up over time from accumulated anger, resentment, pain, or perceived unfairness, ultimately leading to unforgiveness. Consider bitterness as a plant with its leaves looking green but its root is rotting from fungal infection. Eventually, the entire plant will collapse. You can be called, gifted, and anointed, ministering and winning souls for the Kingdom of God, but still foster a heart of bitterness.       The Apostle Paul boldly urges us in Ephesians 4:31 to put away all bitterness and wrath. He further advises us to reject and renounce our former ways, which are tainted by sinful habits. The Holy Spirit cannot freely work in a life that is holding onto malice, anger, and unforgiveness. Neither wi...

Good morning Scripture reading: Joshua 1:1-9 Worship Song: Bridge Over Troubled Water   Meditation:      To be discouraged is to feel deprived of hope, courage, and confidence, or to feel disheartened. Discouragement is a common daily challenge that severely impacts our faith, spiritual and physical well-being, leaving us feeling defeated and hopeless. After the death of Moses, God commanded Joshua to be strong, courageous, and not to be dismayed or afraid. Joshua needed that reassurance to lead the people to the promised land.       In Deuteronomy 31 and Joshua 1, God encourages us to be strong and courageous. He reassures us not to be afraid because He will never leave nor forsake us. When you feel discouraged, find comfort in God's word and be assured that the Lord promised to prosper us and not harm us, and give us hope and a future. No matter the challenges you encounter, let nothing move you to despair; rejoice in the truth and pro...

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 21:9-20 Worship song: Carry Me   Meditation:      Rejected and left alone in the wilderness, Hagar encountered a messenger of God who comforted her by assuring her Ishmael would become the father of a mighty nation. Her experience proves that God cares for the broken and abandoned, bringing them hope and restoration through his grace. God specializes in mending what is broken. He takes our ashes and transforms them into beauty, offering comfort in our darkest moments. He does not abandon broken people; He draws closer when we reach our breaking point, offering comfort, hope, and assurance.       He tenderly heals shattered hearts and binds up every wound providing emotional, physical, and spiritual renewal. We have the assurance that God watched over the desolate and saved those with a contrite and humble spirit. He gives power to the faint, and increases the strength of the weak. If you feel aband...

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:10-18 Worship song: Keeping Me Alive   Meditation:      The Weather Channel provides critical updates to help the public navigate daily activities and safety risks. In response to shifting climate patterns, people are increasingly adapting their clothing choices to protect their bodies from the effects of extreme weather. Just as we actively safeguard our physical bodies from harm, we must treat the protection of our spiritual well-being as an immediate priority.       Divine protection covers you from the snare of the fowler, from the noisome pestilence, and from every weapon of the enemy. True divine protection is only fully realized by those who live circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. When you are walking contrary to God’s will, you reject His covering, leaving you defenseless against spiritual attack. Turning away from God and embracing ungodly ways causes you to lose spiritual ...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Kings 17:1-16 Worship song: Made A Way   Meditation:      The account of the widow of Zarephath, who sacrificially provided for Elijah despite having only one meal left, and Apostle Paul’s testimonies of serving amidst extreme hardship, teach us what it truly means to trust God's provision while serving from an empty place. By serving from a position of emptiness we shift away from self-reliance to dependence on God's limitless provision. The widow's demonstration of faith and obedience is a reminder that trusting God with our last resources allows His limitless grace to fill the void.       Trusting God, especially in the weakest moments, opens the door for God to demonstrate His strength through one's limitations, transforming personal inadequacy into a testimony of God's power. Paul celebrates his own weakness, knowing that when he is at his weakest, he is strongest through Christ. God's grace is...

Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 5 Worship Song: Rescue   Meditation:      Life's challenges can be overwhelming, leaving a trail of bittersweet memories in their wake. Heartaches, broken pieces, shattered dreams, and ruined lives are the reasons Christ died on Calvary's cross. Jesus Christ chose to die and endured chastisement to demonstrate his love for humanity. He came to redeem us from the bondage of our iniquities, liberate us from spiritual captivity, and bring light to a dark world. He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. He came not to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. He came to seek and save the lost, to preach repentance to sinners, to serve, to fulfill the laws and the prophets, and to bring assurance to a hopeless world.       Jesus came to rescue us, so let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jesus left us His divine peace to experience the fullnes...
