I Am Not Eloquent

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 4:1-15 Worship song: He'll Make a Way   Meditation:      When God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, he expressed to God his lack of eloquence and speech impairment. God assures Moses that he will put words in his mouth, but even after being assured, Moses still hesitated. God emphasizes his control and supreme power over humanity with the unwavering ability to intervene and resolve speech, vision, and hearing impairment. Like Moses, many of us often focus on our limitations instead of the God who specializes in turning impossibilities into realities. We have the tendency to seek validation, and affirmation from those around us, but we must remember that not everything we do needs justification from others.       Moses, on his first mission, thought it was not accomplished because the remarks of the Israelites were unfavorable. Remember, if God declares something is possible, it is wise...

Jesus Christ To the Rescue

Image
Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 5 Worship Song: Rescue   Meditation:      The struggles of life can be overwhelming at times and leave behind a trail of bittersweet memories. Heartaches, broken pieces, shattered dreams, and ruined lives are the reasons Christ died on Calvary's cross. Jesus Christ came to rescue sinners from the bondage of our iniquities and the stronghold of our captors and to bring light to a dark world. He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.       Jesus Christ came not to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. He chose to die and endured chastisement to demonstrate his love for sinners. He came to seek and save the lost, to preach repentance to sinners, to serve, to fulfill the laws and the prophets, and to bring assurance to a hopeless world. Jesus came to rescue us, so let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jesus Christ has left His peace with ...

Signs of The Time

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 24 Worship song: Hymn of Heaven   Meditation:      For thousands of years, believers in Jesus Christ have eagerly anticipated his second coming. Even though none of us know the exact hour or the day of his return, there is evidence that proves we are living in the last days. A careful examination of the scripture reveals that some prophecies regarding his return are already fulfilled and are actively being fulfilled in our time. The rapid advancement of technology and its usefulness have created an opportunity for spreading the gospel across various media platforms, reaching nations that previously lacked access to His word.       We are witnessing an increase in conflicts among nations, with wars and escalating tensions leading to rumors of war in various regions. Reports of diseases, earthquakes, and famines in diverse places abound. The love of many has waxed cold, and false prophets are on the ...

The Roller Coaster Ride

Image
Good morning Scripture Reading: Psalm 30 Worship Song: Hallelujah Train  Me ditation:      Are you facing unexpected challenges? Is everything you anticipated to accomplish working according to how you fathom it? Are you hoping to achieve the best life has to offer? We all have great expectations and want to reach the pinnacle of life, but to get there we have to learn from experience and move beyond our mistakes and failures. Life is like a roller coaster with many ups and downs, highs and lows, twists and turns, hindrances, and challenges.       Life has its moments when everything is booming and a time when everything is falling apart. Life is like a suspense movie or untold story; you cannot predict the next scene, but move forward with gratitude, believing that the next episode of your journey will pave the way and lead you closer to your destiny. Believe that the faithful promise-keeping God will always make a way through the wildern...

Feeling Discouraged

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Joshua 1:1-9 Worship Song: The Sun Will Shine Again   Meditation:      To be discouraged is to feel deprived of hope, courage, and confidence, or to feel disheartened. Discouragement is something that we encounter daily, which can negatively impact us due to our lack of confidence in ourselves or God and lack of hope for the future. It can deeply affect our emotions, spiritual, and physical well-being. Don't be disheartened when you feel discouraged; you are not alone, for even the faithful servants of God become discouraged at times. After the death of Moses, God commanded Joshua to be strong, courageous, and not to be dismayed or afraid. Joshua needed that reassurance to lead the people to the promised land.       In Deuteronomy 31 and Joshua 1, God encourages us to be strong and courageous. He reassures us not to be afraid because He will be with us every step of the way. When you feel discouraged, find...

The Grand Reunion

Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 46 Worship song: We Are United   Meditation:      Jacob experienced deep sorrow for many years, convinced that his beloved son had died. His heart was heavy with grief, and his countenance changed so drastically that he could not be consoled. However, when he received the astonishing news that his son, Joseph, was actually alive, dwelt in Egypt, and was the governor of Pharaoh's estate, his spirit was rejuvenated. He was greatly cheered and strengthened by the glad tidings, and immediately prepared for the journey to Egypt, for he wanted to see Joseph before he died. The joy Jacob felt in that moment was awesome, and the reunion with his son, who was presumed dead, was miraculous.       Typically, a family reunion is a planned event, but this one happened unexpectedly. Jacob never dreamed he would be blessed with this marvelous opportunity to embrace his long-lost son again. These moments of reconn...

Testimony of His Goodness

Image
Good Morning Scripture Reading: Exodus 15:1-21 Worship Song: I Will Testify   Meditation:      A jubilee erupted in the camp of the Israelites as they proclaimed their praises to the Lord for delivering them from their enemies. The pursuing enemies drowned in the Red Sea when the waters returned, marking a definitive win for the Israelites. For over four hundred years, the Israelites suffered under the repression of Pharaoh and his taskmasters. They exalted the Lord for his goodness, expressing heartfelt thanks and praises for their miraculous deliverance from oppression. The Israelites recognized the goodness and greatness of God and therefore showed their appreciation through singing. The victory of God at the Red Sea stands as a powerful testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to Israel.       Are you among those who have experienced God's guaranteed fulfillment of His purpose in your life? When there is a shift in yo...

God Inhabits Our Praises

Image
Good morning Scripture Reading: Psalm 100 Worship Song: Every Praise   Meditation:      Throughout the scriptures and especially in the book of the Psalms, we are commanded and encouraged to praise God. Psalm 159:6   says, Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise is the expression of respect, approval, and gratitude as an act of worship. There are many grounds on which praises should be offered, but in everything, no matter the circumstances, whether favorable or unfavorable, whether sorrow or joy, rich or poor, sickness or health, death or life, pain or pleasure, we are asked to give thanks and praises unto God. When the praises go up, the blessings will come down, so let us exalt the Lord at all times and let praise be always on our lips.       Let us therefore give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, and make known his noble deeds among the people. Tell of the marvelous and wonderous work he has done...
