Proverbs 14:25~ A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
Bearing witness is no trivial matter. Even if we are not testifying in court under oath, our words have great power. When we speak truth about others, we honor their character and integrity. But spreading gossip, rumors, and lies only spreads damage and harm. As God’s children, we must be mindful to love our neighbors at all times, and that included being mindful of how we t... moreGood night brothers and sisters
Proverbs 14:25~ A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
Bearing witness is no trivial matter. Even if we are not testifying in court under oath, our words have great power. When we speak truth about others, we honor their character and integrity. But spreading gossip, rumors, and lies only spreads damage and harm. As God’s children, we must be mindful to love our neighbors at all times, and that included being mindful of how we talk about them.
Prayer: Lord, You are the God of all truth. There is no deceit in You. Help me to abide in Your truth, and to speak only what is true, good, and right. Give me the words to speak so that I may build others up by Your truth, and give me the wisdom to know when to raise a defense, when to speak a word of correction, and when to remain silent. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalms 5:11~ But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Faith in God and love for God naturally go with joy of spirit. Christians will have troubles in life like anyone else and may even be persecuted for their faith, but there is still a deep, inner joy that nothing can destroy.

Psalms 5:11~ But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Faith in God and love for God naturally go with joy of spirit. Christians will have troubles in life like anyone else and may even be persecuted for their faith, but there is still a deep, inner joy that nothing can destroy. It is the joy of knowing that we belong to God as his children, that He is ever watching over us for good, and that we will spend eternity in his presence.
Prayer: Lord, you are the giver of true joy. The world has its so-called joy that is merely based on being in presently favorable circumstances. We have a joy based on a relationship with you that can never change. In good times, we rejoice in your gift; in dark times, may our joy shine all the brighter, that the world may wonder and be drawn to your light. Amen.

All who believe already have already received God’s kingdom and live now as ambassadors for our King. It is through us that the kingdom is revealed and others are invited in.

1 TIMOTHY 4:12~ Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Timothy was a pastor, appointed by Paul to care for a congregation of God's people. He was an "elder, " but was not especially "elderly. " Some might be tempted not to listen to him because of his youth and presumed lack of wisdom. But Paul instructs him to preach God's Word boldy and to live out an example all of God's people could desire to emulate.
Prayer: Let us have respect to your Word, O Lord, and not so much to the men who preach or teach it. If we see a Christian living a holy example and teaching us the great truths found in your Book, let us not distrust him because of his youth but rejoice in what God is doing with him. Let us also be quick to learn from and benefit from such a minister of the Gospel. Amen.

Hebrews 13:9~ Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Sometimes, we needlessly complicate our faith, and that can quickly put us on the wrong path. Fad teachings and new doctrines seem to emerge every day, but we already have God’s word and we already have the Lord’s Supper. We need not reinvent our faith with extraneous rituals, they only lead to polluted doctrine. Instead, let us hold to the simple gatherings and foundational truth that we have already been given.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for revealing Yourself to me in Your word, and thank You for the simple communion that I share with my fellow believers. Please work in these things to build me up, so that I may be satisfied in You. Give me the wisdom to discern unsound doctrine, so that I may remain steadfast in Your truth. In Jesus’ name, amen.

What is your mission field? Where is God sending you? For some, this may mean becoming a foreign missionary. For others, this may mean ministering to those in their cities and neighborhoods. For some, it may mean ministering to the people in their own homes. When you become a believer, you are called to share this message with others and to encourage others in their faith. No matter where God has called you, you will face hardships, but we must endure these hard times to see the kingdom of God. Be encouraged!
Prayer: Dear God, give me eyes to see where you are sending me to minister. Give me a heart like yours that Is broken for those who do not know you. Give me the words to speak and share your truth with those who need it. When I face hardships, help me remember that this is to be expected, but remind me that though I face hardships, I will see your kingdom. May I be your hands and feet here on Earth, O Lord. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. In the tender embrace of these words, we discover the profound call to love that resonates through the ages. It beckons us to a love that does not come naturally, a love that is divine in its origin and pure in its intent. This is not the love born of convenience or fleeting emotion. It is a love that exists beyond the boundaries of our human frailties and limitations.
Imagine, if you will, a love so potent that it sees through the veil of hurt and betrayal. Picture a heart so expansive that it encompasses even those who have wronged us, inviting us to step into the sublime reality of forgiveness and grace. It is here, in this sacred space, that we touch the hem of God’s love—a love that endures the impossible, that whispers hope into the void of our deepest wounds.
It is a gentle yet formidable force that compels us to act in kindness, to offer forgiveness, to extend our hands in genuine fellowship—even when every fiber of our being resists. This is the love that Jesus embodied and shared, the love He calls us to emulate. It is not a love of convenience, but rather a love of conscious choice—a decision to let love be the compass that guides our interactions, the light that illuminates our path.
Embrace the challenge today: to seek the strength to love when every circumstance suggests otherwise. To ask the Lord for a heart that mirrors His—a heart that desires to love authentically, even the most challenging souls. For it is in this divine love that we find the true essence of our faith and the reflection of our Creator in us.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, in the quiet spaces of my soul, I seek Your guidance to love as You love. Infuse my heart with the tenderness of Your divine affection, that I may view each soul through Your eyes of grace. Grant me the wisdom to recognize Your image in everyone, to understand that each person I encounter is a cherished child of Yours, deserving of love and kindness.
Teach me, O Lord, to extend my heart in genuine care, to be intentional in my relationships, and to be a conduit of Your unending love. Help me to love beyond the barriers of my own pain, to forgive as freely as You have forgiven me, and to pray fervently for those who challenge my capacity to love.
I am grateful, Lord, for the privilege of being used as a vessel of Your love. May my life be a testament to the love that You have lavished upon us, a love that redeems, restores, and renews. I pray this earnestly, in the blessed name of Jesus, amen.

Jeremiah 15:16~ Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart : for I am called by thy name, O Lord GOD of hosts.
In the quiet corners of my home, a treasure surfaced from the depths of forgotten boxes—old letters from my beloved, etched with words that once danced before eager eyes. As I caressed the pages, each line a tender echo of our shared history, I remembered the thrill of anticipation, the hunger for his next phrase, the way my heart leapt with the knowledge of being chosen and cherished.
Have you ever considered, beloved sister, that such an exquisite correspondence has been penned for you? The Scriptures, a divine anthology, are the very heartbeat of God transcribed for us—His daughters. What if we approached this holy tome with the same fervor, the same ravenous hunger for the hidden pearls within its lines?
Through the wisdom of Jeremiah, a truth resonates: these words are not merely ink on parchment but the very source of our joy, our solace. As we immerse ourselves in the sacred text, we let it weave into the fabric of our being, transforming our thoughts, molding our actions, and nurturing our spirits.
Envision the profound love of our Father, a love without beginning or end, selecting us for an intimate journey before time itself was woven. Through the lavish outpouring of His grace, our faults are swept away. Picture the crimson tide of Jesus' sacrifice, liberating us, washing us into wholeness.
Let the magnitude of this grace be our delight. To revel in His love, we need only to accept it with open hearts, to trust. As we delve deeper into His Word and let it dwell richly within us, the whisper of God becomes clearer, His presence more palpable. In these moments, we are truly home.
Prayer: Dearest Father, Your love is a wellspring of comfort and joy in my life. Cultivate within me a yearning for Your Word, that it may dwell deeply in my heart, shaping my every breath and step. May Your truths be the melody of my days, the sweet refrain that guides my journey. In the embrace of Your presence, I find my strength and my delight. I come before You in the name of Jesus, my Savior, my anchor. Amen.

Psalm 90:12~ So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
In the quiet unfolding of day into night, each tick of the clock is a gift, a whisper from the Creator, reminding us of life's transience. Within the ebb and flow of hours, we find a divine invitation to embrace wisdom—a call to live intentionally, with eyes wide open to the brevity of our earthly journey.
Consider the tapestry of time, woven with threads of fleeting seconds and passing years. In this dance of days, our hearts yearn for significance, for moments that echo into eternity. And so, we are beckoned to number our days with purpose, to cultivate a heart of wisdom amid life's uncertainties.
As stewards of time, let us not be swept away by the currents of busyness or the allure of distant tomorrows. Instead, let the humbling truth that our lives are but a vapor inspire us to surrender our plans to the One who holds eternity in His hands. Let us echo the heart's melody to the rhythm of His grace, offering each heartbeat as a hymn of ceaseless praise.
Prayer: Gracious Father, in the quiet sanctuary of my heart, I seek the wisdom to walk through my days with purpose. Teach me to treasure each moment, to see the sacred in the simple, and to live fully in the light of Your love. Guide my steps according to Your will, and may my life be a reflection of Your grace. In the fleeting breaths of this earthly sojourn, let my soul sing of Your faithfulness, and may my every act be an offering to You. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
