They Laughed Him to Scorn

By

Good morning

Scripture: St. Luke 8:49-56

Worship song: He's able

 


Meditation:

    When facing laughter or ridicule from others, remember not to be discouraged or offended. It is common for individuals not operating at the same spiritual understanding to mock or deride what they cannot discern or comprehend. Their reaction often stems from an inability to perceive the spiritual power at work in your life, not a failing on your part. Jesus Christ was laughed to scorn, not because he failed, but because the people did not know His potential; hence, they lacked faith in Him. Jesus never failed to deliver on His promises, but the people did not know Him, nor did they take the time to observe and learn from Him before ridiculing Him. 

    They did not know his capabilities or the power he possessed. When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader and declared that the child was not dead but sleeping, the mourners ceased lamenting and began to laugh. There is the likely potential that people will ridicule, mock, and jeer you, but this should not stop you from exercising your faith in God. Continue to believe in God and trust his plan. Always remember there are different spiritual levels. There are the spiritually mature who eat solid food, and there are babes unskilled in the word of righteousness who feed on only milk. (Hebrews 6:12-14).

Let us pray:

    My faithful Father, miracle-working Saviour, matchless in power and might, I worship and magnify you, O King. Worthy are you, Lord, and worthy to be praised. Strong, saving, rescuing God, amid our distress, when life’s waters are raging, grant us the strength of Nehemiah to stand firm in our faith when we are ridiculed and oppressed. Grant us courage when the storms are raging, and help us to cleave to You, Lord God. Father, stand by us through the difficult period when we are surrounded by those who jeer and mock us. Almighty God, may we never get weary but continue to exercise our faith and trust you completely when everyone around us laughs and ridicules us. Lord, guide our hearts and thoughts as we desire to remain steadfast and focus on you in the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.

Wishing you a blessed day. 💕🙏

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Rely solely on the divine power of God, trusting Him completely....

Escape Judgement

Good morning Scripture reading: Rev. 20:10-15 Worship song: The Old Rugged Cross   Meditation:      If you are thinking, like those who believe, that God will not destroy what he has created, you have the wrong concept. There will come a day when we will all stand before God to be judged according to our deeds. 6 2 Cor. 5:10 clearly states that we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.       In Matthew 13, Jesus Christ explained the parable of the tares to the disciples helping them understand what the kingdom of Heaven is like. Jesus Christ declared what the kingdom of heaven is like. He told them that at the end of the world, angels will separate the wicked from among the just and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. God knows all we have done and will do ...

Every Knee Shall Bow

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 2:9-13 Worship song: Bow Down and Worship Him   Meditation:      God exalted Jesus above all, granting Him a name that demands universal recognition; all beings will eventually acknowledge Jesus' lordship, culminating in praise for God the Father. Bowing down before God and confessing that the Lord God Omnipotent reigns is ordained by God; it cannot be reversed. We were created to worship, glorify, and exalt God.       All people, rich or poor, Jews or Gentiles, regardless of their current belief, religion, gender, race, language, color, or culture, will one day acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King, submitting to his authority and power. That day is coming, unlike any other day, when every atheist, unbeliever, idol worshipper, and everyone who refused to surrender to the sovereign Lord will acknowledge his authority, lordship, dominion, and sovereignty over all creation. As I live, says th...
