Hymn: God Will Take Care Of You




Meditation:

    Abram's story exemplified his unwavering faith and obedience to God, despite encountering numerous trials and challenges. Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham, was directed to leave Haran and journey to Canaan, the land of promise. He did not question God's plan; rather he obeyed and departed from his hometown, taking his family and nephew with him. Abram's journey was never without challenges. Being sent by God does not mean you will not encounter any hardship, but God promises He will take care of you. 

    In Canaan, an unforeseen famine struck, prompting Abraham to flee and sojourn in Egypt to escape the devastating impact of the widespread food shortage. Despite beginning with limited wealth in Haran, by the time he departed Egypt, Abraham had accumulated significant wealth in cattle, gold, and silver. Success is seldom achieved without adversity, challenges, and setbacks. Faith, hope, endurance, obedience, and trusting God are part of the journey to becoming successful. God fulfilled his promise to Abraham, making him the father of many nations and blessings, which he received through faith in God's promises and obedience to his directives.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, I may not fully comprehend your directives or how you bring them to pass, but I trust your divine plans. Please strengthen me with the spirit of obedience and endurance so I may patiently await your timing, especially during periods of uncertainty. Almighty God, assist me in focusing not on the difficulties and disappointments that I face but rather on the light at the end of the tunnel. Guide me on the path of life and direct my steps, dear Lord, for in your presence there is fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Lord, whenever I am overwhelmed by fear, lead me to a place where my trust in you is boundless, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a day filled with peace. ✌💕🙏

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 11 Praise song: Come This Far By Faith   Meditation:      Faith is the firm belief in something for which there may be no tangible proof. According to biblical teachings, faith involves placing trust and confidence in God, believing that He will acknowledge His promises. In Hebrews 11, the patriarchs of faith from the Old Testament obtained a good report by trusting in God's promises. Upon accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, our faith journey commences.       Faith is essential to the Christian life; for without faith we cannot please God. It is vital for our spiritual development that we cultivate a strong relationship with God by trusting in His plans and believing His promises. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths. By actively exercising faith, you will be able to overcome your ...

Prioritizing God's Command

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 13: 9-14 & Acts 13:22 Worship song: Running Back To You   Meditation:      The Lord identified King David as a man after His own heart, not because he was perfect, but because his deepest desires aligned with God's ways. He was motivated by a commitment to fulfill God's divine purpose and adhere to the Lord's requirements. David was a devoted worshipper who, even after serious moral failings, did not justify his actions but instead returned to God with a contrite and broken heart. When confronted with sin, David promptly repented. His willingness to seek forgiveness immediately after being rebuked by the prophet Nathan differentiates him from others, such as King Saul.       David authored several penitential Psalms emphasizing repentance, confession, seeking God's mercy, and inward cleansing. Acknowledging that he sinned against God, David petitioned for God's mercy according to His lovingkin...

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 John 1 Worship song: Walk in Truth and Love   Meditation:      In his second epistle, Apostle John commended a local congregation for walking in the truth of the gospel. Although they were already abiding by the truth, he strongly encouraged them to continue walking in love by adhering to God’s commandments. Emphasizing Love and compassion towards others is a fundamental aspect of obeying God's commandments. The Apostle Paul warned the church to remain vigilant and fully aware of the deceivers who deny that Jesus came in the flesh.       He cautioned against welcoming or entertaining individuals who reject the truth about Jesus and his ministry. Paul affirms that offering hospitality or encouragement to deceivers is to partner in their corrupt deeds. Furthermore, he urged believers to maintain the spiritual foundation they have established and the blessings they have obtained through faithful servic...

Why Do You Persecute Me?

Good morning Scripture reading: Job 19 Worship Song: You've Already Won   Meditation:      During a critical period in Job's life when he required support from those most dear to him including family and friends, they abandoned him and became like enemies. Job lamented that his close friends hated him and those he loved turned their backs on him. They forsook their duty of loyalty, leaving him feeling completely isolated. In his distress and despair, Job endured relentless and harsh accusations from those who came to comfort him. Job perceives God as his persecutor, bringing destruction upon his life and stripping him of his dignity, rendering life’s journey dark and hopeless.       Despite these circumstances, Job maintains unwavering faith, declaring that he knows his Redeemer lives and that he will stand on the earth. He believes that even after his skin is destroyed, he will see God in his flesh. He profoundly affirms that death is n...
