Come Unto Me

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Matthew 11:28-30

Worship song: God is Here

 


Meditation:

    Imagine if we could weigh the heavy load we carry in our hearts and minds; no scale would be able to truly measure its weight. Many of us are heavily laden by the burdens of fear, mistakes, worries, anxieties, guilt, disappointment, stress, rejections, etc. We struggle with these burdens, constantly trying to rectify everything that does not align with our plans and desires. These pressures can overwhelm us, leading us to focus on things outside our control. 

    Though Jesus invites us to release our burdens, we are reluctant to let them go. Jesus knows and understands our struggles. He assures us we can find relief by willingly surrendering our worries and anxieties to Him. Today, Jesus calls us to renounce every weight we bear: every sin that easily besets us, every guilt, worry, stress, anxiety, and frustration. 

    Come, lay your burdens down where true freedom is found. Jesus promises that if we are weary and heavy-laden, we will find sweet peace and rest for our souls in Him. Let us release the burdens we bear and experience the profound freedom available for our redemption through Jesus Christ.

Let us pray:

    Everlasting Father, our burden bearer and Savior, we come before your presence this day with our hearts laden with worries, anxiety, and stress, resulting from the situations we encounter. Lord, we are burdened by the struggles of past and present difficulties. Father, there are things we refuse to let go of, things we store in our hearts that are weighing us down. Father, we are tossed and shaken by the winds of our struggles, so we beseech you, gentle Jesus, to search the depths of our hearts and uproot what you have not sown. We commit our lives, hopes, desires, fears, and all that troubles us into your capable hands. Please release us from our burdens and replace them with your guidance. Empty our hearts, O God, of that which plagues us. Father, as you bore our sins on Calvary's cross for our redemption, I humbly ask you to take the burden we carry and replace it with your easy yoke in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a wonderful day. 💕🙏🙏

    Is there anything that we would not tell the Lord who knows all things. Sometimes that is all it takes leveling with Him. We cannot overcome the ills of this life without the supernatural power of God. We have to be packed and loaded at all times with His power. Let us stay vigilant. 🙏🙏

Spiritual Decline

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 59:1-4 Worship song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      Spiritual decline refers to a decrease or deterioration of one's connection to the Divine, marked by a decline in faith, moral integrity, spiritual wisdom, or religious devotion. This is often caused by disobedience to God's word, increased idolatry practices, indulgence in worldly pleasures, and a decrease in godly and ethical standards. Neglecting to pray and a lack of spiritual energy, demonstrated by a loss of desire to worship and connect with other believers, mark the beginning of all spiritual decline.       When we neglect God's divine direction and uphold our own standards, it demonstrates spiritual blindness and a hardness of heart. It is our unholy actions that create a barrier between us and God. As stated in Isaiah 52, our wrongful actions caused God to turn away, preventing Him from hearing our pleas as He withdraws Himself f...

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139 Worship song: Where Can I Go   Meditation:      Overwhelmed with emotion, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible, infinite power and omnipresence, marveling that God is intimately acquainted with every detail of his life, even his most hidden thoughts and feelings. God's wisdom and knowledge are unattainable; none has the power to obtain them. While we can earn academic titles, and be blessed with the spirit of discernment, we can never earn the boundless wisdom and knowledge that belong only to God. The Psalmist acknowledged that God's power is beyond human understanding. He realizes he cannot hide from God because God is always watching.       As Psalm 139 states, there is nowhere to flee from God's presence. Though we might hide our wrongdoings and indulgences from human view, all our actions, whether righteous or wicked, are laid exposed before God to whom we must give account. We cannot ...

The Stumbling Blocks

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 14:1-8 Worship song: At Your Feet   Meditation:      The Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt and took them away from their lifestyle of bondage in slavery and their customary worship of idols. The Israelites encountered the love of God and were granted freedom through his divine power. Nonetheless, they regularly transgressed against the Lord and returned to idolatry, and for that, many of them did not reach the promised land. Like the Israelites, many of us, after encountering freedom, have returned to our former lifestyle, allowing our self-will and desires to cause us to be entangled again in the yoke of sin and transgressions.       Those who believe in Christ experience a spiritual rebirth, a transformation from their old lifestyle governed by sin to a new spiritual identity in Christ. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old, for Christ can do a new thing in you. Esca...

Squatters Occupying the Land

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 34:1-13 Worship Song: Way Maker   Meditation:      God made a covenant with Abraham in which he promised he would multiply his seed and make of him a great nation. God promised to bless him and his generation and give them the land of Canaan. The land was already occupied by various inhabitants, but God had to evict them so that Abraham and his descendants could possess the land. Our thoughts and hearts are vulnerable to the controlling influence of Satan's forces, who act as spiritual squatters.       To remove these spiritual intruders, we must invite Jesus Christ to take possession of our inner lives. Satan and his cohorts will remain inhabitants until we actively invite Jesus Christ into our lives to forcibly evict these unwanted spiritual tenants. Jesus Christ wants the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to reside within us, but we are too comfortable frolicking with the residents that he wants to dri...
