YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 65:14 Worship song: Royal Telephone   Meditation:      We all encounter those moments of desperation when we reach out for help, only to find that the person we need cannot be reached. It is frustrating to deal with busy signals or recordings, especially when assistance is needed urgently. We have all experienced the frustration of trying to make a call only to be graced with a recording or a busy signal. Thankfully, this is not the scenario with Jesus Christ. There are no communication glitches. In fact, He is always available, never too busy for us. He is always on the line, waiting and listening.       You can call on Jesus at any time, be it morning, noon, or night. As stated in his word, which can be found in several scriptures, "He shall call upon me, and I will answer you: I will be with you in trouble." There are no I am not available at the moment recordings, no do-not-disturb signs, and no...

Good morning Scripture reading: James 3: 1-12 Worship song: Ancient Words   Meditation:      James, a devoted servant of God, powerfully illustrated the influence of the tongue, emphasizing its unpredictable behavioral nature. Our speech is like a lethal weapon with the potential to be a potent tool for either uplifting and inspiring others or tearing them down. Words are incredibly powerful; they can damage character, ignite anger, condemn, curse, and destroy the spirit and self-esteem of others. As well, the tongue can also bless, motivate, comfort, praise, and encourage.       As children of God, our words must reflect the teachings of God and be used to strengthen, motivate, and encourage those we encounter. Therefore, no harmful words should proceed from our lips, but only those that are wholesome and edifying, that they may minister grace unto the hearers. Our speech should always be uttered with loving kindness, seasoned with salt, ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Job 1:6-7 Hymn: Sweet Will of God   Meditation:      Whenever a phone disconnects from a wireless network and joins another network, it is doing something called data roaming. It means your phone is using this new wireless network to allow you to send messages and make calls, even if you are out of the usual areas of coverage for your phone carrier. This is made possible through an agreement made between carriers to facilitate those who need network access while visiting other countries. The ability to have access to and connect to a wireless network when traveling outside your native area is great, but one cannot say the same for a person who has left the presence of God. Once you step away from the faith and connect with unknown sources, you are sure to encounter danger.       When you roam about aimlessly, not connected to the right network, you are at risk of being used by Satan, who roams the earth li...

Good morning Happy Mother's Day Scripture Reading: Proverbs 31: 10-31 Worship song: Building Bridges   Meditation:      Mothers are extraordinary gifts from God. A loving, caring mother selflessly sacrifices her own needs to fulfill the needs of her children. They stand steadfastly by their children through hardship and triumph, ensuring their little bundles of joy have everything necessary to thrive in society.  A responsible mother goes above and beyond to guarantee that her child(ren) feel safe, secure, and protected. The love a mother has for her child(ren) cannot be truly defined or measured by words. It is limitless, knows no boundary, and is unwavering. It dares all things and crushes down without regrets all that stands in its path.       Mothers are the backbone of the family, providing encouragement and support no matter the odds. Their influence on the lives of their children is immeasurable. Mothers are magnificent, fi...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 10:9-16 Worship song: Lead Me, Lord   Meditation:      Instead of succumbing to my fears of heights and avoiding the amusement rides, I boldly chose to navigate the maze. This challenge is designed to test how individuals can identify the correct path to the exit. As I ventured through the dimly lit pathway, I encountered a few dead ends. At one point, I thought I had found my way, only to realize I had taken the wrong turn, leading me back to the bottom of the maze. After navigating many wrong paths, I discovered the exit.       Life is simply a maze of opportunities, and it is all about making the right choices. We may stumble on the wrong path, choose poorly, err, and even falter, but through our journeys, we need to remember that Jesus Christ knows the way. He is eager and able to lead us along the way. Regardless of whether the path appears straight, narrow, crooked, or rugged, Jesus knows th...

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 1:7-22 Worship song: Jesus Loves the Little Children   Meditation:      Historically, both Pharaoh, the ruler of ancient Egypt, and King Herod, the ruler of Judea, initiated schemes to eliminate all newborn males. Herod's motive was to eliminate the potential rival to his power, believing that the child prophesied to be the king of the Jews was a threat to his reign. Pharaoh's motive was similar to that of Herod. Pharaoh saw the Israelites as a potential threat, thinking that they would join forces with his allies against him. He tried to control their growth by enslaving them and making them serve with rigor. The plot against children is an ongoing dilemma, and many children have lost their lives innocently.       Children have the fundamental human rights to be protected and develop to their full potential. They are a heritage of the Lord. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. (Psalm 1...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 4: 19-26 Worship song: Praise Is What I Do   Meditation:      In a powerful conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus proclaimed that a time is coming when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. He profoundly declared that God is spirit, and those who worship him must do so sincerely, guided by the Holy Spirit. True worshippers wholeheartedly engage in sincere devotion. Their mission is to grasp the principles of God, uphold His Word, and incorporate godly character. Their thoughts, words, and actions reflect Christ-like behavior. Genuine worship is beyond mere rituals; it establishes a deep, authentic connection in which the heart and mind are aligned with God's will.       Regardless of the trials or tribulations that may arise, they remain resolute, holding firmly to God's plan and trusting his promises. True worshippers praise God in every situation...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32 Worship Song: Satisfied Meditation:      The prodigal son, driven and blinded by his desire for freedom, ultimately faced the harsh truth of his reality, living a life contrary to what he truly valued. Like many of us, he embarked on what he thought was a pursuit of the best life, yet he later discovered that a life lived without Jesus Christ is heavily laden with sin and emptiness. Too often, we find ourselves comfortable in our struggles, settling for the husk of our poor choices instead of embracing the divine Grande cuisine that the Lord has prepared for us. How much longer will you remain unaware that the father stands ready to welcome you home? Don't you know you are more valuable than earthly gain? You are more valuable to God than earthly achievements.       Your purpose in this life surpasses anything you can accomplish on the earth without Christ. There is immense joy in heaven over ev...
