Scripture:
“Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” — Jeremiah 32:17 (NIV)
No matter what challenges arise, trust that God is in control. His power is limitless, and His word is final. When situations seem impossible, remember that He has the ultimate authority over every circumstance. Stand firm in faith, knowing God can turn things around in His perfect timing.
Being bold as a witness for God means standing firm in your faith, even when the world pushes back. It’s speaking truth with love, sharing the gospel confidently, and living a life reflecting Christ’s light. Boldness isn’t about being loud or forceful, it’s about trusting God’s strength, stepping out in faith, and letting His Spirit guide your words and actions. When you stand boldly for God, you inspire others to seek Him, knowing He goes before you and equips you for every moment.
God speaks to man’s heart
The Bible speaks about the condition of the human heart. Jeremiah 17:9 warns that “the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked,” emphasizing the need for divine transformation. While people often judge based on outward appearances, 1 Samuel 16:7 reminds us that “the Lord looks on the heart.” Recognizing our need for renewal, Psalm 51:10 is a heartfelt plea: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Jesus also teaches that sin originates in the heart, stating in Matthew 15:18-19 that “out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” Yet, God offers hope and transformation, as Ezekiel 36:26 declares: “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.” Ultimately, the Bible calls us to trust in God wholeheartedly, as Proverbs 3:5 instructs: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” These verses reveal the fallen state of the human heart and the promise of renewal through God’s grace. God will speak to the hearts of man through His Grace. This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship between God and man’s heart.
Today, I will talk about something that no one wants to hear or talk about death. Death is when your life is terminated and another word dead. It is sorrowful to most. Even to myself, because I lost friends and relatives in 2020.
God said that we should not worry, especially the Christians, because there is hope that He has given us to stand on. He promised that if we die while we are one with Christ we will rise again. I know you have that when the trumpet sounds, we will rise from the grave and live forever with him. But those not in Christ will be judged by Him for their unrepented sins.
So, to live with Christ forever is to repent of our sins, worship, and serve Him. I know it is hard to remember all the sins we have committed, so I say this short prayer to Him often. “Father God, in the name of Jesus. I repent of all my sins that I know about and those I thought were not sins. Wash me in Your blood and make me a Holy temple. Thank you for hearing my prayers and if I were to die today. I would be with You.” So, death is something that we should not fear. Scripture reference: Rev. 21:4, 1 Thess. 4:13-14.
You are welcome to comment, let me know how you feel. I will admit that I am a Christian and sometimes full of sorrow and fear about death. All I know to do is stand on His promises. Amen!
“Don’t let your life be filled with bitterness. Pray to the Lord and He will make it sweet.” Just as bitter waters were made sweet when Moses cried out to God, our lives too can be transformed through prayer. When trials weigh heavy on our hearts, turning to the Lord brings peace and renewal. His grace can soften the hardest moments and fill our souls with joy. Trust in Him, and He will replace bitterness with sweetness beyond measure.
This phrase invites action, encouraging individuals to embody love, compassion, and kindness in their immediate actions, just as Jesus taught. It’s a call to be present and mindful of how one’s behavior impacts others.
Here’s a real-life example:
Scenario:
You’re in a grocery store, and the person in front of you is struggling to find enough money to pay for their items.
Action:
You gently offer to cover the remaining amount with a kind smile, asking nothing in return.
Reflection:
By stepping in with compassion and generosity, you reflect Jesus’s love through selfless care for someone in need.
It could also be simple, like showing patience when someone makes a mistake or offering a kind word to someone who looks downhearted.
This speaks volumes about Christ’s transformative power and reminds everyone that life is full of purpose and grace with Jesus.
“Divine Partnership: Man and God in Harmony”
“Man and God: A Bond of Trust and Gratitude”
“Man and God is a symbol bond of strength, faith, and divine connection.”
When we allow Him to guide us, He transforms our hearts, aligning our desires with His divine will. Through this process, He reveals our potential, prepares us for His greater purpose, and uses us to bring light and love into the world.
How can you say that your good friends will make you good?
Or your bad friends will make you bad?
When the decision is up to you?
The power of decision represents the concept of how friends can influence you, but the ultimate decision rests with you. It brings attention to the paths of positive and negative influences and the power of choice.
