What Are You Thinking About?

September 17, 2026

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7 KJV

What are you thinking about today?

Our thoughts are important because what we allow into our minds can affect our attitudes, our words, and ultimately our actions. If we constantly think about our problems, fears, disappointments, and worries, those thoughts can easily rob us of our joy and peace.

But God gives us a better place to focus our minds—on Him.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” — Isaiah 26:3 KJV

What a wonderful promise! When our minds are stayed on the Lord, He gives us peace. That does not mean that all our problems suddenly disappear. It means that in the middle of our circumstances, we can trust the One who is greater than anything we are facing.

Philippians 4:8 tells us to think about things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. We have a choice about what we dwell on.

Today, when worry comes into your mind, turn your thoughts to Jesus. When discouragement comes, remember His promises. When you do not know what tomorrow holds, remember that He does.

Keep your mind stayed on Jesus. Trust Him. He will give you the peace you need for today.

 Greatest Book Ever Written

September 16, 2026

Someone once asked the question, “What is the greatest book you have ever read?”

For me, the answer is easy: the Bible—God’s Word.

There are thousands of wonderful books in the world. Some teach us, some entertain us, and some encourage us. But there is no other book like the Bible. It tells us how we can have salvation through Jesus Christ. It gives us comfort when we are hurting, joy when we are discouraged, wisdom when we need direction, and knowledge when we need answers.

Whatever we face in life, we can turn to God’s Word. It teaches us how to live, how to love others, how to forgive, how to pray, and most importantly, how to know Jesus as our Savior.

Books written by people may become outdated or be forgotten, but God’s Word never changes. Its truths are just as powerful today as they were when they were written.

If you are looking for answers today, open the greatest Book ever written. Read your Bible. God has something to say to you.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
Psalm 119:105 KJV

Royersford Community Day

September 15, 2026

What a blessing to hear the wonderful report from the SOS Events Team in Pennsylvania!

At Community Day this past Saturday, God blessed their faithful efforts as 14 people accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior! We praise the Lord for each precious soul who made that life-changing decision.

The Pennsylvania SOS Events Team is doing a tremendous job faithfully witnessing and sharing the Gospel. Every event is another opportunity to tell someone about Jesus, and we are thankful for each leader and volunteer who gives their time to bring souls into the Kingdom of God.

The Bible reminds us how important it is to reach people with the Gospel:

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”
Proverbs 11:30 KJV

Praise the Lord for 14 new believers! Please pray for these new Christians as they begin their walk with Jesus, and pray that God will continue to use the Pennsylvania SOS Events Team to reach many more for Christ.

Come Jesus Come

September 14, 2026

Yesterday in church I heard a beautiful song, “Come Jesus Come.” As I listened, my heart was reminded of a wonderful promise: Jesus is coming again!

We live in a world filled with trouble, uncertainty, sorrow, and change. But as Christians, our hope is not in this world. Our hope is in Jesus Christ.

Are we looking for His coming? Are we longing to see Him? It is so easy to become busy with the cares of everyday life that we forget that this world is not our final home. Jesus promised that He would come again, and we can trust His Word.

We do not know the day or the hour, but we do know that He is coming. Until then, we should be ready, faithfully serving Him, telling others about Jesus, and looking forward with joy to the day when we will see our Savior face to face.

Come, Lord Jesus!

Titus 2:13 KJV
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”

Where Is Your Affection?

September 13, 2026

This is a great verse for today. When we go to church to worship, or are having our daily devotions, we are not concentrating on the message or what God is trying to tell us. 

Instead, we are thinking about our problems, what needs to be done, or maybe about our plans for vacation, family fun or other activities that have nothing to do with Heavenly thoughts.

All of us have done this many times but we need to ask God to forgive us and help us to keep our thoughts centered on what God is telling us.

Set you affection (love) on things above, not on worldly things

Rest In Jesus!

September 12, 2026

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 KJV

Do you ever get tired, weary, discouraged, or just plain worn out? Sometimes the burdens of life can become so heavy that we feel we just cannot carry them another step.

Jesus tells us what to do. He says, “Come unto me.” We do not have to carry our burdens alone. We can bring our cares, our troubles, our disappointments, and even our weariness to Him.

The Bible also tells us, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7 KJV

What a wonderful promise! Jesus cares about everything that concerns us. When we give our burdens to Him, He gives us the rest and renewal we need—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Whatever is weighing you down today, bring it to Jesus. Trust Him with it. He knows what you need, and He has promised:

“I will give you rest.”

Walking in His Steps

September 11, 2026

“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:” — 1 Peter 2:21 KJV

Years ago there was a popular Christian book called In His Steps. It challenged Christians to look at the life of Jesus and ask themselves if they were truly following His example.

That challenge is just as important today.

First Peter 2 tells us that Jesus left us an example, that we should follow His steps. When we read the verses that follow, we see what those steps looked like. Jesus did no sin. He did not answer evil with evil. When He suffered, He trusted Himself to God. He willingly bore our sins on the cross so that we could be saved and live for Him.

Then the chapter closes with this beautiful reminder:

“For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” — 1 Peter 2:25 KJV

Following in His steps does not mean we walk alone. Jesus is our Shepherd. He goes before us, cares for us, leads us and guides us as we walk with Him.

Today, may we ask ourselves: Am I walking in His steps?

Grateful for the Little Things

September 10, 2026

How often do we stop and thank God for the little things?

In Luke chapter 17, Jesus healed ten lepers. All ten received the same wonderful blessing, but only one came back to thank Him.

Luke 17:15-16 KJV
“And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.”

Sometimes we are quick to thank God for the big answers to prayer, but what about the little things He does for us every day?

A safe trip. Food on the table. A friend who calls at just the right time. A beautiful sunrise. Strength to get through another day. An unexpected blessing that comes just when we need it.

Do we recognize these things as blessings from God, or do we call them coincidence? Do we sometimes think they happened because of something we did ourselves?

God supplies our needs and gives us blessings every day. Many of them may seem small, but they are still gifts from His hand.

Today, let us be like the one leper who turned back. Take time to notice the little things and say:

“Thank You, Lord.”

Can Others See Jesus in You?

September 9, 2026

When people look at you and the way you live, can they tell that you are a Christian?

Being a Christian is more than going to church, reading our Bible, or telling someone that we believe in Jesus. Our faith should be seen in the way we live every day.

Our family sees us when no one else is watching. Our friends see how we respond when things do not go our way. Our neighbors notice how we treat others. Even strangers may see something different in our kindness, patience, honesty, and love.

We will never be perfect, but our desire should be to live in such a way that others can see Jesus in us.

Matthew 5:16 KJV

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Today, ask yourself: When people look at my life, do they see Jesus?

Let your light shine!

A New Week Begins!

September 8, 2026

Monday morning! For many people, it means the beginning of another busy week.

Children are heading back to school, teachers are preparing their classrooms, business people are returning to their offices, and workers everywhere are beginning another week of responsibilities. At home there are meals to prepare, errands to run, appointments to keep, and countless things that need to be done.

Sometimes Monday can feel like just the beginning of another long list of things we have to do. But what if we looked at it differently?

Monday is a new beginning—a new opportunity to serve the Lord wherever He has placed us.

A child can honor God by doing his or her best in school. A teacher can show kindness and patience. A business person can demonstrate honesty and integrity. A parent or grandparent can encourage someone who needs a kind word. Whatever our work may be, we can ask God to bless it and use us for His glory.

Before we rush into this new week, let us take a moment to pray: “Lord, guide me today. Help me to honor You in everything I do, and establish the work of my hands.”

“And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.”
Psalm 90:17 KJV

Have a blessed Monday and a wonderful week serving the Lord!
