Waiting isn’t wasted time; it’s often where God does His deepest work. When we pause long enough to let God move, we discover that He’s not delaying us. He’s developing us. Waiting becomes the place where His timing shapes our hearts, renews our strength, and reveals His perfect purpose.
A sudden moment of fear reminded me of the power of thanksgiving. As I began to thank God for His protection and faithfulness, peace replaced fear. The Power of Thanksgiving reveals how gratitude becomes a spiritual weapon that restores the heart.
“Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.” — Matthew 6:31–32 (NIV)
A thought for today: Start with the heart, even if no one else sees it. Let the inner life be trimmed, healed, and tended, because that’s where true growth begins.
Sex outside of marriage can leave behind shame, broken hearts, and confusion. But even deeper than that, it blinds us to something far more beautiful: a kind of love that honors, waits, and reflects Christ.
“Dear God, I know that I have sinned and that I need Your forgiveness. Thank You for sending Jesus to die for my sins and rise again. I ask You to forgive me and come into my life as my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow You all the days of my life. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
How should a Christian respond to wicked people? While our human nature cries out for vengeance, God’s Word reminds us that He desires the wicked to live and turn from their sins. Our role is to seek His heart, pray for repentance, and trust His justice. May we follow His example and extend grace even in the face of evil.
Our Assurance has no value if not built on the right foundation
God still works miracles today — often closer and simpler than we expect. In a moving story of a fast-food worker who received a car at just the right moment, we’re reminded that behind every timely gift or last-minute answer stands God’s hand. Whether spectacular or everyday — a prayer answered, a friend’s help, a new opportunity — every solution ultimately comes from Him. This reflection invites us to look for His miracles in our own lives and to thank Him first.
True joy is not found in holding on, but in pouring out. When we give, whether it's time, care, finances, or help, we become part of God’s movement of love on the earth.

When God calls us to meet with Him, it’s not about routine; it’s about relationship. I used to silence the alarm that reminded me of our time together, not realizing I was silencing an invitation from the King of Kings. It wasn’t until the Holy Spirit whispered, “You do not honor Me,” that I saw how easily I made time for everyone else, but not for the One who holds my breath.
