YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 3:5-6 Meditation Song: Show Me Your Ways   Meditation:      Using physical maps or asking strangers for directions is almost a thing of the past. Centuries ago, travelers relied on maps and compasses for directions, but with the use of modern technology, the GPS (Global Positioning System) project was started by the United States Department of Defense in 1973. The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS. GPS is made up of three different components, called segments, that work together to provide location information, velocity, and time data for air, sea, and land travel.       Despite man's invention, there is none as effective and accurate as our Lord. The greatest GPS available that will never lose its signal is God's plan of Salvation (GPS)...

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 5:1-20 Worship song: I repent   Meditation:      There is an alarming revelation taking place in our society today. As I watch the unfolding of events around us and all over the world via the different media platforms, I realize that the skeletons that were once hidden in closets are now coming to light. There are no secrets that shall not be made manifest, nor anything hidden that shall not be known and come abroad. The truth about what is going on in the secret places of homes, some places of worship, and across the world is now being revealed. The reality of what is taking place hits home as we are reminded of the sin that kindled the wrath of God and separated us from him.       Today, not only in one nation but all across the globe, people are indulging in promiscuous sin, ignoring and turning a blind eye to the commandments and the laws of God, and twisting the word of God to suit their lif...

Good morning Scripture reading: Mark 12:41-44 Praise song: Sacrifice of Praise   Meditation:      The account told by Jesus of the poor widow is very intriguing and mind-boggling. Jesus watched as the people placed their money into the offering receptacle. The rich were contributing large sums of money, but among them, a poor widow walked up to the receptacle and placed her few coins in it. Jesus was not fascinated by the amount the rich were offering but by the widow's sacrificial offering of all her livelihood. The rich only gave a portion of their abundance, but the widow gave all she had. The widow was financially broken, but through faith, she made a sacrificial offering that captured the Lord's attention.       This is a lesson to us that it is not the amount that counts, but the willingness to give and the heart that eagerly gives the best unto the Lord. It is the condition of our hearts when we give. Our sacrifices should be pres...

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 2:9-13 Worship song: Bow Down and Worship Him   Meditation:      The scripture says that God highly esteemed Jesus and gave him a name that is high above every other name, that at the mention of the name Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of 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 wh...

Good morning. Scripture reading: Daniel 3 Worship song: Still   Meditation:      Daniel chapter 3 demonstrates an act of faith displayed by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Despite the evil, vindictive propaganda of those plotting against them, the three Hebrew boys did not let that stop their worship. They were not afraid of their enemy's evil conspiracy. They knew they served a faithful, promise-keeping God. The plots and schemes planned by those with evil intentions backfired. God delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the jaws of death. The problem most Christians encounter today is due mostly to a lack of faith. We have not tested and proven God's power, so we cannot endure the test of time.       If God be for us, who can be against us? Psalms 91:5-6 reminds us not to be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction...

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 3:12-15 Hymn: I am pressing on   Meditation:      Apostle Paul was one of the most influential witnesses of Jesus Christ and a dedicated preacher of the gospel who endured trials, suffering, and persecutions. Though Paul was imprisoned and persecuted for spreading the gospel, that did not discourage him. He continued his mission to serve, seek, and minister to those who needed to know about Jesus Christ, and he was not afraid to venture into dangerous territories. He pressed on to the higher calling by doing the will of God and completing his mission. To press on or press ahead means you continue with a task or activity in a determined way, and you do not allow any problems or difficulties to stop, delay, or prevent you.       You might be going through your wilderness experience now but press on and look towards your higher calling. 2 Cor. 4: 8-9 brings comfort and reassurance to those who bel...

Good morning Scripture reading: Titus 3:1-7 Worship song: Try a little kindness   Meditation:      As children of God, we should be mindful of how we treat those who are in the world, for we were once meddling in sin, doing all manner of evil until Jesus rescued us. There was a time when we were bound by our fleshly desires, but God. There was a time when we hardened our hearts and rejected the teachings of God, but God. We are saved, sanctified, and redeemed not because we are righteous but because of God’s grace and mercies. We were once debased and deprived by sin but are now saved, redeemed, and sanctified by His grace.       If we proclaim to be holy and righteous, the word reminds us that there is none righteous, no, not one, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but those who received him are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. If the grace of God should leave the best Ch...

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 8:23-27 Worship Song: In The Rock I Will Hide   Meditation:      One of the greatest weapons that the enemy uses to conquer us is the spirit of fear. The disciples became fearful and believed that they were going to perish when the storm transitioned from a peaceful, calm state to a boisterous state. Paralyzed by the invading force of the wind, they panic and rush to Jesus Christ for help. Fear can overshadow us with a thick cloud of darkness controlling our every move and decision. Unexpected crisis, negative impacts caused by changes in circumstances, or boisterous storms in life in the form of persecution, natural disasters, conflicts, disease, and ill health can create an atmosphere of wavering faith, uncertainty, anxiety, imminent fear, even in the fearless of believers.       We fear because our faith is weak and because we are not aware of the power of the God we serve. The Bible provides ve...
