Good morning

Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:8

Worship Song: It All Belongs to You

 


Meditation:

    People take great pride in doing everything possible to keep their bodies healthy, fit, and in good shape by exercising, practicing self-care, and maintaining a healthy diet, but what about the mind? Are you taking the same precautions when it comes to guarding your mind? Are you conscious of your mind's meditation and what you allow to bombard your thoughts? Your mind is a battlefield; protect it by filling it with God's truth. Your thoughts are the seeds of your life. The quality of your thoughts determines the quality of your life. 

    Guard and protect your mind, and be mindful of what you think, because your life is shaped by your thoughts. How do you protect your mind from toxic thoughts? You protect your mind by filtering out any unwholesome thoughts that counteract your pursuit of godly living. Saturate your mind with the word of God, because his promises are true. Protect your mind by meditating on things that are true, honest, just, pure lovely, and whatsoever things are of good report. Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, and do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. When your mind is protected, your heart will be too.

Let's pray:

    Everlasting Father, I give thanks for your word, which ministers to our souls and your mercies which are renewed every morning, great is your faithfulness, O God. Almighty God, I boldly turn to you to replace all negative thoughts with positive, truthful meditation, as I seek to align my thinking with your Word. I bring my preoccupied thoughts to you, O God. Please sift through them and remove everything that is not of you. I ask that you examine my heart and mind thoroughly. Cleanse me from anything offensive to you, and fill me with your peace, so I can follow your way of salvation. Keep your eyes upon me, O God; guard and protect my mind from deceptive, negative influences. I pray for your peace, O God, a peace that goes beyond all understanding, to protect my heart and my thoughts. Father may the words of my mouth and the prayer from my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and redeemer. Amen. 

Keep safe. Shalom. 💞🙏🙌

    Whatsoever things are pure think on these things. When our thoughts are pure, our lives will be pure. Whenever we think negative it affects even our physical operations. The right mindset must be maintained. Let us continue to work on us and let others look on that they too will do the same. Shalom 🙏💪

Hurt People Hurt Others

Good morning Scripture: Ephesians 4: 22-32 Praise song: Wounded soldiers   Meditation:      Those who have been hurt often inflict pain on others, not out of malice, but because their own unresolved suffering causes them to become defensive and withdrawn. This deep-rooted sorrow can lead them to lash out seemingly without reason, a behavior that is a reflection of their own struggles rather than a deliberate attempt to harm. Their painful past makes them guarded, and they may push others away as a way of coping with their internal chaos.       While you may be eager to move past the pain, genuine recovery from such betrayal does not happen instantly. It is a gradual process that requires patience with yourself as you navigate through your emotions. When life's hurts leave our hearts wounded and scarred, we can find enduring comfort and restoration only in Jesus Christ. He is a constant source of comfort and light, eager to guide us throu...

Forgiving Ourselves

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 32:1-5 Mediation song: Please Forgive Me   Meditation:      It's often more difficult to forgive ourselves for mistakes than others because we hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, leading to self-criticism and a refusal to move on. This self-punishment, rooted in a desire to be better, traps us in the past. On the other hand, true growth comes from acknowledging imperfection, forgiving ourselves, and freeing ourselves to learn and move forward with self-compassion.       We cannot revoke what is already done, but we can relinquish the burden of guilt through confession and forgiveness. We are called to take accountability for our wrongs, but we are not meant to be prisoners of our past. Jesus Christ offers redemption, freeing us from the power of sin and making us a new creation. Move gracefully towards your higher calling because your destiny does not stop at your mistakes. The sooner y...

Wrapped in a Blanket of Fear

Good morning Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 31:1-8 Worship song: Fear Is a Liar   Meditation:      When he was chosen to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land, Joshua experienced anxiety and uncertainty, fueled by fear, which undermined his leadership abilities. More than once, Joshua was reminded of the divine order to be strong, courageous, and not be afraid, for the Lord God will be with him wherever he goes. Our anxiety when we explore unknown territory stems from a natural fear of the unpredictable, much like Joshua's journey into the new land. However, if we trust in the Lord and do not lean on our limited understanding, He will direct our path. Though Joshua was fearful, he obeyed the Lord's command by demonstrating strong leadership and faith leading the Israelites to victory.       We can find assurance in the promises of the Lord to strengthen and uphold us with his righteous right hand. We can further be encouraged by the t...
