Restored by God's Grace

Good morning

Scripture reading: Numbers 12

Praise song: Your Grace and Mercy

 


Meditation:

    Miriam and Aaron criticized their younger brother Moses, using his marriage to an Ethiopian woman as a pretext to question his authority. They believed that God spoke through them as much as did through Moses. Their constant utterance against Moses, the chosen servant kindled the wrath of God. Miriam was struck with leprosy and was shut out of the camp.  Because she was unable to journey with them in her state, the people had to wait until she recovered and returned to the camp. The rebellious spirit that existed then is still evident in us today, for we sometimes rebel against those who carry out God's work, driven by our own beliefs about their incompetence or their unsuitability for ministry, speaking highly against them to anyone who cares to listen. 

    Aaron and Miriam complained and murmured against Moses, by challenging his divinely appointed leadership. This illustrates that they were naive to what God was doing. God informed them profoundly that Moses was his faithful servant. Be careful of those whom you speak against for you might utter words of bitterness against someone who is God's humble, faithful servant. Instead of complaining about the people God has chosen, let us focus on serving God faithfully.

Let us pray:

    Jehovah God, we apologize for every negative utterance we have spoken against your servants intentionally or unintentionally. We beseech you to forgive us for knowingly and or unknowingly rebelling against those you have chosen. Almighty God, please forgive us for criticizing, and murmuring against the body of Christ without thinking of the consequences. Lord, through ignorance we have stepped out of bounds. Forgive our lack of faith in your perfect plan and help us learn to trust your way completely. Father, we ask that you place our tongues under subjection and allow us to utter words of wisdom. I beseech you to bind and conquer the spirit of rebelliousness and let it not have dominion power over our minds through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you an awesome day. 💕🙏

    Restoration. We all are being restored. When we needed a makeover, it was and God who made us whole. What would have become of us if He did not make us whole. Thank God for newness of life. We should spend our years for Him. Blessings and love ❤️

Thou of Little Faith

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 14:22-33 Worship Song: Didn't I Walk on The Water   Meditation:      Displaying exceptional faith and courage, Peter stepped onto the water's surface at Jesus's command. But when he saw the fierce wind and boisterous waves, fear conquered his faith, causing him to sink as he took his eyes off Jesus. Like Peter, we often start with unwavering faith but panic and succumb to fear, anxiety, and worry the moment we encounter difficult challenges. Fear will prevail where we fail to acknowledge Jesus' sovereignty and power to overcome the impossible.       The apostles marveled at Jesus' power and sovereignty, but he promised they would one day perform even mightier deeds than his. Beloved, remember the wonder-working power of Christ and trust in His hand. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and do not fear or tremble, for He who calms the sea and quenches the fiery furnace can calm the giants in and around us. Be r...

Called to Serve

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 10:1-20 Hymn: Just as I am  Meditation:      Jesus Christ selected ordinary persons to serve as his disciples and then he equipped them with power over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and diseases. Among those whom Jesus chose to be his disciples were tax collectors and fishermen. As Jesus sent forth his disciples to serve, he gave them clear instructions to take the gospel to those who would listen and to the lost sheep. The disciples were told that they would encounter some stubborn, self-willed persons, who would reject the gospel.       The disciples were sent among the vilest of sinners and were advised to use wisdom, be harmless, and focus on their mission. They were also warned about the persecution they would eventually encounter. If you are called to serve, do so with a willing heart, knowing that you are serving a mighty, promise-keeping God. Do not be concerned...

Waiting Cultivates Patience

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 130 Worship song: I Will Wait for You   Meditation:      The Bible is rich with stories demonstrating God's faithfulness to his promises, revealing how and when they were accomplished. The biblical accounts of Abraham, Sarah, Hannah, and Joseph illustrate how God's promises unfold over time, through testing, and in ways that are often unexpected. While the divine promise took many years to materialize for these individuals, their stories demonstrate God's enduring faithfulness. Patience is a virtue that is built over time as a result of waiting for a promise to be fulfilled. However, not everyone has the gift of waiting patiently.       Habakkuk 1:1-2 highlights the prophet's frustration and confusion over the delay of God's judgment, as he witnessed widespread violence and injustice, leading him to question why God seems unmoved by his desperate cries for divine intervention. Like the Prophet Habak...
