YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 27 Worship song: Safe   Meditation: The vehicle I was in stopped to allow a mother and her ducklings to cross the road. I was fascinated by how protective the mother was of its young. We waited patiently and watched as the mother safely led its young ducklings to the other side of the road. It seems like she counted them and realized some were missing. She returned to the other side and then crossed again with the two unruly ones walking close behind her. This display of protection demonstrates how much the Lord shields us from the attack of the enemy.       In times of trouble, we are hidden in the secret places of his pavilion, where he will cover us with his feathers safely under his wings. When we dwell in the secret place of God, He will protect us from the host that encamped around us. The Lord will keep us from the snare of the wicked and from the noisome pestilence. However, if we refuse to seek shelter and...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 14:1-6 Worship song: One Way Flight   Meditation:      I believe every traveler would like to experience the peace, comfort, and tranquility of a luxurious first-class flight to their dream destination. Several benefits complement a first-class passenger that a regular traveler does not receive, and what's more, not everyone will get the opportunity to travel, much less fly first class. Nevertheless, do not be discouraged and do not ponder about these things because there are two first-class flights available that require no monetary contribution, only a committed heart.       There is one first-class flight destined for Paradise, and not many people are making reservations. This flight is only for the born-again, faith-believing, sanctified, and redeemed who accept and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. There is also a first-class flight destined for hell, and many passengers have already booked t...

Good morning Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24 Worship song: Make Me Whole   Meditation:      The Bible, which is our compass, strongly warns against indulging in evil. Evil is the opposite of good and, by definition, is something morally wrong, sinful, or wicked committed against human beings and against God. When a person chooses to participate in wickedness, they defy God's command. Evil causes unnecessary grief, pain, and suffering. King Solomon, the author of Proverbs 4, emphasizes the importance of staying away from evil. He warns against entering into the path of the wicked and in the way of evil men. His urgent plea is that we walk in the way of the righteous and avoid the path of the wicked because the way of the wicked is darkness.       David, in Psalm 24, urged us to depart from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it, listen to the advice of the wise, fear the LORD, and shun evil because those who are evil will b...

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 14 Worship song: Believe For It   Meditation:      Pharaoh, upon witnessing the power of God and the calamities that befall him, released the children of Israel from his captivity and commanded them to leave his property. Moses, without hesitation and by God's command, welcomed the long-awaited opportunity to lead them away from Egypt to freedom. However, while they were on their journey, the children of Israel saw Pharaoh and his army pursuing them, and they became afraid. Like the Israelites, when our enemies pursue us and our backs are against the wall, we are paralyzed with fear that causes us to feel defeated. The Almighty God who spoke to the Red Sea and caused dry land to appear to allow the children of Israelites to escape the fury of Pharaoh is the same God we serve. The enemies that pursue you, that you see today, you will see them no more, so trust God and live. Let’s pray:      Sovereign ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 11:32-39 Worship song: Calvary   Meditation:      Maybe your hero is your parent, a teacher, a leader, a celebrity, a politician, or someone in society that you have not met, but that person has impacted your life in a very influential way. Everyone has a hero, someone they admire, respect, and want to be like. A hero can be someone who risks their own life to save another or someone who fights for a good cause and is distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility, and strength by making a positive difference in the world.       There is a hero I have come to know, love, and admire. He deserves our adoration, worship, obedience, time, treasure, service, and allegiance. His name is Jesus Christ. He gave his life to free us from Satan's bondage. He is our hero of Calvary, seated in glory now where archangels bow before him. He came to earth bearing our shame and iniquities; a man without fault, perfe...

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 51 Praise song: Washed in the Blood of the Lamb   Meditation:      It is said that if you keep your vehicle looking new, you will preserve its value and lengthen its durability. When your vehicle is obviously stained with dirt, the only way to get it sparkling clean, shiny, and looking remarkably new is to get to work with your cleaning agents or take it to a car wash attendant. Various cleaning agents are used to wash the vehicle, removing dust, dirt, debris, and contaminants from its interior and exterior, but when humans become filthy, marred by sin, stained within and without, the only cleaning agent available is Jesus Christ. Only Jesus Christ can cleanse, wash our sins away, and make us white as snow.       When we become aware that our garments are defiled by immoralities, stained by the graffiti of sin, only then can we seek to be purified. If you have strayed from the pathway of holiness, if...

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. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...
