In all the blessings of life don’t forget Jesus. Don’t say, “Well at least I have my spouse or at least I have my family and children. Look at all they do for me.” Look at what Jesus did. He forgave all your sin. He washed you clean. Gave you His heart. Made you beautiful beyond description. Gave you a home with Him forever. All these other things are wonderful but He is always better.

Nothing speaks louder or more powerfully than a life of integrity. Absolutely nothing! Nothing stands the test like solid character. You can handle the blast like a steer in a blizzard. The ice may form on your horns, but you keep standing against the wind and the howling, raging storm because Christ is at work in your spirit. Character will always win the day. As Horace Greeley wrote: “Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wing, and only character endures.”
Those who love Your law
have great peace, and nothing causes
them to stumble.
PSALM 119:165👏R Swindoll

All afflictions are temporary, God will deliver you
"The afflictions of the righteous are many, but the LORD delivers him from them all." Psalm 34:19
Today, God's word is strengthening you as you go through life's challenges and sufferings. Don't think that maybe God doesn't love you because you're experiencing the troubles of this world.
When the word says "the afflictions of the righteous," it means that even God's blameless people suffer. When you face afflictions and troubles, it doesn't mean you've sinned or you're unworthy. No! Even the righteous suffer many afflictions.
So, Child of God, know that troubles and sufferings are part of the righteous life. We have much to learn from Job, who endured immense suffering. And God testified of him to Satan, saying, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." Job 1:8
Jesus Christ also told us, "In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 So, suffering and tribulation are things we will encounter in our lives, and it doesn't mean that the one suffering lacks something or is weaker than the one who isn't suffering.
The good news today is the promise God has given us in this word: "But the LORD delivers him from them all." Psalm 34:19 God has assured us of His healing and salvation. He has promised to heal all afflictions, not some, but all.
Some people have lost hope because there's something they've been praying for, for a long time, but it hasn't been answered yet. Everything else has been answered by God, except that particular problem. So, they've come to accept that problem as a part of their lives. They feel like God won't answer it. The word says, "God will heal all." There's no illness or disease that is yours. No affliction is yours permanently. All the sufferings you're going through are temporary, and
God will heal all your afflictions and you will live a life of joy and peace, praising your God for his goodness and grace in your life.
PRAYER: Thank you, LORD, for your promise to heal me and deliver me from all afflictions. Today, I surrender myself to you in faith, believing that you can save me from all my troubles, Amen.

Be still and trust God
"For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” But you would not," Isa 30:15 SUV
In this world, which is characterized by chaos, conflict, and uncertainty, the concept of strength is often associated with power, might, and military prowess. However, the scriptures offer a different perspective on where true strength is found. It is not in human strategies or military power but rather in quietness and trust in God.
The word of God today delivers a powerful message emphasizing that our salvation and strength lie not in our own abilities or alliances but in quietness and trust in our God. This verse encapsulates a profound truth that resonates throughout the Bible: God's strength is made perfect in our weakness, and true power is found in surrendering to His will.
Quietness, as described in this verse, goes beyond mere silence. It suggests a state of inner peace, calmness, and tranquility—a heart undisturbed by the storms of life. It is a posture of surrender, where one relinquishes control and allows God to take the reins. In Psalm 46:10, the Bible says, "Be still, and know that I am God." This stillness is not passive but an active choice to trust in God's sovereignty despite the circumstances.
Furthermore, quietness is closely intertwined with trust. Trust involves a deep reliance on God's faithfulness and promises. It requires us to let go of our fears, worries, and anxieties and place our confidence entirely in Him. The word of God in Proverbs 3:5-6 says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Trusting in God acknowledges His wisdom and goodness, even when we cannot see the way ahead.
The Bible is replete with examples of individuals who found strength in quietness and trust. David, facing the giant Goliath, declared, "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer" (Psalm 18:2). His confidence was not in his own strength but in God's power to deliver him. Also, when the Israelites stood at the edge of the Red Sea with Pharaoh's army closing in, Moses told them, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still" (Exodus 14:14).
Even in the New Testament, Jesus exemplified quietness and trust in the midst of adversity. In the Garden of Gethsemane, facing the agony of the cross, He prayed, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). Jesus' surrender to the Father's will demonstrated the ultimate act of trust and paved the way for our salvation.
Your true strength is not found in your strategies but in quietness and in trusting God. As you navigate through the challenges of life, may God help you to follow the example of those who have gone before us, finding your strength in surrendering to His will and trusting in His unfailing love.
Prayer: Father, you know my heart, I pray to you, help me to rely on you and to trust you always. I surrender to your Holy Spirit, so He May Guide me in Life. Through all life’s challenges and troubles, I keep my trust in you. I know you are with me to lead me in the way I should go, and you are fighting my battles. Amen

Examine yourself: Have you truly surrendered every aspect of yourself to God?
Are you letting God change you and use you where He needs you?

“Christianity isn’t church attendance, it’s Christ-likeness. It’s being so in love with who God is in you, that you wouldn’t want to be like anyone else.”

There is a reason why believers go through Sufferings
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Rom 8:18
Jesus Christ told us, "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). In our journey of faith, going through suffering is inevitable. We will indeed go through suffering. Just as Christ suffered, so shall we.
The suffering I'm referring to here is not the suffering humans endure due to sin. There are sufferings people endure as punishment and consequences of their sins and wickedness.
The sufferings of believers and of an unbelievers are different. Job suffered not because he sinned; the Word of God says, "Then the LORD asked Satan, 'Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil.'" (Job 1:8) Job didn't go through suffering because he committed some sin or was cursed. Job's sufferings came for a specific reason.
Jesus Christ also suffered. All the sufferings He endured were for our redemption. I can categorize these sufferings into two types: the sufferings He endured during His crucifixion and the sufferings He experienced because He took on human nature. This sinful nature afflicted our Saviour.
I want us to learn the main reason God allows suffering for His saints on earth. The Word of God says this about Jesus Christ, "Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered." (Hebrews 5:8)
"Obedience" is one of the main reasons God allows suffering. When Satan tempted Job, he said to God, "But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face." (Job 1:11) Job's suffering was brought forth to test his faithfulness and obedience to God. God allowed Job's sufferings to see if he would continue to obey His commandments or sin.
What do you do when you go through suffering and difficult times? What do you say? Do you continue to obey God's commandments? Or do you curse him as how the devil wanted Job to do?
Some Christians can not endure sufferings. There are Christians who, every time they go through difficult situations, must offend God, thinking they will repent later. They lack patience. They fail to follow and obey God's commandments.
Today, I want you to know one thing: Sufferings prepare you for the glory that God has prepared for you. God uses them to build you, and what God desires most is obedience. Let not the sufferings and hardships you go through cause you to offend God. Endure because God has prepared good things for you.
Prayer: Jesus Christ, you endured all sufferings without sinning. I ask you to empower me through the Holy Spirit within me to be obedient to God even in the difficult times of my life. So that I may enter in the glory you have prepared. Amen.
