YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning  Scripture Reading: Matt 16:24-28 Worship Song: Highway To Heaven   Meditation:      I watched nervously as the driver of a red Ferrari SUV car repeatedly swerved in and out of lanes as he tried desperately to maneuver the vehicle and narrowly escaped an accident. Despite the almost tragic mishap, the driver did not check his speed but continued swerving in and out of lanes until he found a clear path. Reflecting on what unfolded before my eyes brings me to ask some very significant questions. Are you skipping lanes, swerving from the narrow road to the broad road? Have you swerved and ended on the path that leads to death, or are you on the path that leads to salvation? Who is chauffeuring you?       We all need a chauffeur to help us navigate the challenges we encounter in life, the hardships, the trials, disappointments, and tribulations, as well as keep us on the right path. To stay on the narrow path, we must allow J...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Chronicles 28:10-19 Worship song: Up on This Rock   Meditation:      A blueprint, also known as a building plan and construction plan, is a design with detailed drawings created and used by engineers, construction workers, and architects to illustrate project plans and build new infrastructure. David handed his son Solomon a blueprint of the Temple of the Lord and also gave him the materials needed to build it. In the context of life, we are not handed a drafted blueprint detailing our lifespan, nor are we given a draft of our successes and failures or what will happen each day. Neither are we given a blueprint detailing every aspect of our life. What we have access to is the Bible to help us navigate life's journey.       The Bible is a lamp to guide our feet and a light to show us the path. The Bible is the guidebook, a blueprint that provides guidance and advice for family life, relationships, spiritu...

Good morning Scripture: St. Luke 8:49-56 Worship song: He's able   Meditation:      Have you been laughed at or ridiculed by others? Don't be discouraged, and do not be offended; they laughed at Jesus Christ, too. When persons do not understand the power of God's work, and they are not at the same spiritual level as you, they will laugh and mock you because they cannot discern the power of God at work within you. 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. In fact, Jesus never failed to deliver on His promises, but the people did not know Him, nor did they take time to observe and learn of Him before they ridiculed Him. They did not know his capabilities, nor the power he had.     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...

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...
