Working His Purpose Out

By

Good morning

Scripture Reading: Romans 8:26-31

Worship Song: God Will Work It Out

 


Meditation:

    It is a misconception that accepting Jesus removes all life's problems; the reality is that faith brings inner peace and spiritual growth, not an easy, trouble-free life. In this world, we will be tested by the enemy, and we will have tribulation, but we must remain courageous and be of good cheer for he who dwells within us has overcome the world. God did not promise we would not encounter hardship. He did not promise we would have a perfect life here on earth. What he promises is his peace and that he will never leave nor forsake us. Consider Job, a man of integrity, seen by God as perfect and upright, a man who eschewed evil, yet faced unimaginable trials as detailed in the book of Job. 

    Every situation we encounter, whether it is sickness, tribulations, financial struggles, relationship issues, or spiritual battles, will ultimately work together for the good of those who love him and are called according to His purpose, not ours. God knows everything we are going through and He will not fail. Do not doubt, for God is still in control, and whatever unfolds, he alone must be glorified. While God works, we must be patient and fully surrender to Him, trusting the process, even when things seem impossible, and we don't see a way out. God will work His purpose out for the good of those who serve Him wholeheartedly. Let the word of God be the standard of our lives, and allow him to fulfill His purpose for our benefit.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, we surrender our confusion and unanswered questions to You. Even when we cannot see the path, we stand on the promise of Romans 8:28, trusting that You, in Your sovereignty, are bringing about good from all things for those who are devoted to You. We solely depend on you, Almighty God, to empower and strengthen us to remain patient and strong, trusting that You are working all things together for good. Lord, we desire to conform to your will, trusting your judgment because you know what is good and favorable for us. God of the impossible, you are still in control, and you have never failed a mission, so we declare our complete trust in you in every situation, believing that no one can triumph over us, for you are with us. God of grace and mercy,  you deserve all glory, so we exalt your holy name through Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you an amazing day. 👏💕🙏

Feeling Discouraged

By

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...

A Jealous Eye

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 18 Worship song: This Is Amazing Grace   Meditation:      King Saul's expression of love for David turned into a jealous rage, triggered when the people applauded David publicly for his victorious defeat of the Philistines. Driven by an envious and malicious spirit, King Saul turned against David, viewing his servant as a direct threat to his throne. Despite recognizing that God had shifted His favor to David, a fearful and jealous Saul made repeated, failed attempts to murder his successor, fueled by intense rage.       When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. The Lord will preserve the souls of his people and protect us from all evil. No force can overpower those shielded by the Almighty; in times of disaster, the believer rests in divine safety. Do not fear your enemies for if God is on your side, no one can truly stand against you....

Covered With A Mask

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...
