YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 2:11-15 Worship song: Jesus Forgive Me   Meditation:      It is human instinct to protect their loved ones and defend them from harm and danger in every way possible. On most occasions, people are driven by a spontaneous inclination to act, especially intervening to defend someone from injustice. This was the case with Moses, whose impulsive action led him to act on instinct without considering the consequences of his decision. Moses's attempt to conceal his action reflects the human tendency to cover their wrongdoings and sinful deeds. However, we cannot hide from God, because there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be known (Luke 12:2).       David affirms God's omnipresent and omniscient power in Psalm 139. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch over good and evil (Proverbs 15:3). He that hides his sins shall not prosper, but whoever chooses ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 27 Worship song: Through it all   Meditation:      The psalmist, David, was not free from trouble and haters. During his life, he had many enemies. Many rose against him, including King Saul, whom he had helped to defeat the Philistine giants who fought against Israel. David was not afraid of the host that encamped around and against him, for he knew the God whom he served. His journey was hampered by numerous trials, yet his unwavering faith in God allowed him to persevere through every tribulation and emerge victorious over his adversaries. Through it all, David trusted God and built a relationship with Him. Through it all, David learned to depend upon God and trust Him wholeheartedly. David's only desire was to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. He trusted God and believed that He would shield him from all his enemies.       By fully entrusting our struggles to God, we can ri...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Peter 5:1-4 Praise song: Spirit Lead Me   Meditation:      Arthur Blessitt, a travelling evangelist born in Mississippi, is well known as the preacher who carried a cross through every nation of the world. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, the grace of God kept him. Through difficult times and the hottest battlefield, he held on to faith and trusted God to lead him safely. He went on the mission, determined to spread the gospel, leading souls to Calvary. He walked through lonely deserts, across hills and valleys, teaching the will of God as he bore the weight of the heavy wooden cross.       Listening to this inspiring account provides a true reflection of what it means to genuinely follow and obey the Lord's command, to accept his will, and to trust Him wholeheartedly. It offers a clearer understanding of the essence of trusting God and walking by faith. Blessitt obeyed the call to witness to the...

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 9: 27-28 Worship song: Death Was Arrested   Meditation:      An appointment is a scheduled, formal meeting with specific details determined by the purpose of the gathering. Not all scheduled appointments are kept; some are canceled, while others are postponed. The decision to cancel or reschedule often depends on the nature or urgency of the subject matter. Scheduling appointments helps maintain commitments, but there are those people who sometimes reschedule appointments for their convenience.   Nevertheless, there is an appointment that is certain for all people. We cannot reschedule, cancel, or ignore it because we do not have the power to control its existence.       Death is a fixed appointment for all humans. We are appointed once to die, but after death comes the judgment. There are no exception and no exemption. Death is no respecter of persons; be prepared and ready, for there is no r...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 8:31-36 Worship song: I'm Free   Meditation:      Isaiah, the messianic prophet, prophesied that the spirit of the Lord would be upon him who would be anointed to preach to the meek, proclaim freedom to the captives, and liberate those who are bound in prisons. Jesus declared the prophecy of Isaiah fulfilled immediately after reading the scripture recorded in Isaiah 61 to the Nazarenes (as recounted in Luke 4:18-21 of the Bible). In doing so, he revealed himself as the promised Messiah, the one designated to deliver and rescue his people from spiritual bondage and the oppression of sin.       Jesus came as the perfect, sinless Son of God to save humanity from the power of evil and bring us back to God. He took on a human body without any sin or flaw, like a pure and spotless sacrifice, to rescue us from being trapped by Satan. Through Jesus Christ, all sinners are granted the same privil...

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 12:1-3 Worship song: I Will Run to You   Meditation:      Winning a world championship is considered one of the highest achievements in athletics. Every athlete who competes in a race desire to win a gold medal and also to become the world's fastest champion. Athletes competing against equally motivated and determined runners must push themselves beyond their normal limit to obtain victory. To have a fair chance of winning the race requires determination, commitment, vigorous training, sacrifices, endurance, patience, and discipline. As children of God, we are running in a noncompetitive race, and the challenge is to pursue what God wants for us rather than what we want for ourselves. We have the responsibility to press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly reward.       Like the Apostle Paul, we should be able to declare we have fought a good fight, we have finished the race, an...

Good morning Scripture reading: Jeremiah 29:11-14 Worship song: Seek Ye First   Meditation:      By our nature, humans pursue what satisfies them, and these pursuits show what our hearts truly desire. Earthly pleasures and possessions are merely self-centered pursuits. Our primary focus should be seeking God's kingdom; doing so ensures that all our needs will be provided by His divine will. To seek the Lord means to actively pursue a personal relationship with him, which involves learning from his word and living in obedience to his commands and precepts out of love and faith. When you seek the Lord earnestly, you set your mind and heart on God, not on the corporate world. Those who genuinely search for the Lord are people who consistently pursue virtuous qualities like righteousness, holiness, meekness, and goodness.       The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went aw...

Good Morning Scripture reading: Matthew 25: 1-13 Mediation song: Give Me Oil in My Lamp   Meditation:      Have you ever experienced the frustration of your vehicle running out of fuel, leaving you stranded on the roadway? Has a power outage ever interrupted a crucial moment, only for you to discover the generator is also out of fuel? Anyone who experiences low resources understands what it means to be in a state of unpreparedness.       The bridesmaids waited to meet the bridegroom, but he was delayed longer than they anticipated. When the bridegroom arrived at midnight, the ten virgins woke to prepare their lamps, but the foolish five discovered they lacked enough oil for the long wait and missed the opportunity to go with the bridegroom. The five wise virgins rejoice because they have sufficient oil. The oil in our lamp represents the presence of the Holy Spirit within us, and we are the lamp in which the Holy Spirit dwells. The wise vi...
