A Lifetime of God’s Faithfulness

July 20, 2026

“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” — Psalm 37:25 (KJV)

As I read Psalm 37:25 today, I can’t help but think of my own life. This verse has become my testimony.

Over the years, I have experienced seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow. There have been heartaches, disappointments, and times when I didn’t know what tomorrow would hold. Yet through every chapter of my life, one thing has never changed—God has always been faithful.

The Lord has always provided for my needs. He has never left me or forsaken me. When I was weak, He gave me strength. When I was discouraged, He gave me hope. When I didn’t know which way to turn, He faithfully guided my steps.

Looking back over the years, I can honestly say that trusting in the Lord is what has carried me through. His promises have never failed, and His love has never run out.

If you’re facing a difficult season today, I want to encourage you to trust Him. The same God who has been faithful throughout my life will be faithful to you. He knows exactly what you need, and He will walk with you every step of the way.

A Heart Ready To Worship

July 19, 2026

As we gather for worship this Sunday morning, may our hearts already be filled with praise. We don’t come to church simply because it is our weekly routine—we come because the Lord is good. His goodness has carried us through another week, answered prayers we have seen, and sustained us through those we are still waiting on.

Psalm 135:3 reminds us that praising God is not a burden; it is a joy. When we lift our voices in song, pray together, and open His Word, we are honoring the One who is worthy of all praise.

Before you walk through the church doors today, take a moment to thank God for His faithfulness, His love, and His amazing grace. Then worship Him with all your heart. You may be surprised how God uses your praise to encourage someone else who needs hope today.

May our worship not just be something we do on Sunday, but a way of life that brings glory to our wonderful Savior.

Pray For The Harvest

July 18, 2026

This weekend, I have a special prayer request for our SOS Events family.

Because of the extremely hot weather, several of our scheduled outreach events—especially in the northern states—have been canceled. While we’re disappointed, we know that God is still in control, and His plans are always perfect.

Please join us in praying for the two SOS Events taking place this weekend in Alabama, as well as today’s car show in Plant City, Florida. Pray for safety for our faithful volunteers, strength as they serve in the heat, open hearts to receive the Gospel, and many lives to be changed by the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

To all of our faithful prayer warriors, thank you for standing with us. Your prayers are just as important as those who are sharing the Gospel in person. Together, we are serving our Savior and trusting Him to bring in the harvest.

“Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”
— Matthew 9:38 (KJV)

Thank you for praying for SOS Events today. May God bless you as you faithfully lift this ministry before His throne.

Be Still!

July 17, 2026

Life has a way of pulling us in every direction. When problems arise, our first reaction is often to jump into action, trying to solve everything in our own strength. We worry, we plan, we stress, and sometimes we even forget to ask God what He wants us to do.

Yet God’s Word gives us a different response: “Be still.”

Being still doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means quieting our anxious hearts and placing our complete trust in the One who sees the beginning and the end. It means taking time to pray, to read His Word, and to listen for His gentle direction.

So many times, we make situations harder because we rush ahead of God’s timing. But when we wait on Him, we discover that He has already been working behind the scenes. He is opening doors we cannot open, changing hearts we cannot change, and carrying burdens that were never meant for us to bear.

If you are facing a difficult decision or carrying a heavy burden today, pause for a moment. Be still before the Lord. Trust that He is in control, even when you cannot see the outcome. His timing is always perfect, and His plans are always better than our own.

Today, take a few quiet moments to listen. You may be surprised by the peace that comes when you stop striving and simply rest in the presence of God.

A Heart That Found Hope

July 16, 2026

This week the Lord brought a very special visitor into my home—an 11-year-old girl from Mexico and her two aunts. My heart was touched as I listened to her story.

She had experienced so much hurt for someone so young. After the passing of her mother, life became filled with uncertainty. She struggled with relationships, family situations, and the challenges of leaving her country. Although one of her loving aunts had opened her home to care for her, this precious young girl still carried the heavy burden of feeling unloved.

They came simply asking for prayer.

What a privilege it was to open God’s Word and share with her the greatest love she would ever know—the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. As we talked about His love and His gift of salvation, the Holy Spirit worked in her heart.

That day, this precious 11-year-old girl placed her faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior.

There is no greater joy than watching a hurting heart find hope in Christ. We cannot erase the pain of yesterday, but Jesus can forgive, heal, comfort, and give a brand-new future. His love reaches where no human love ever can.

Please join me in praying for this young girl as she begins her walk with the Lord. Pray that she will grow strong in her faith, know beyond any doubt that she is deeply loved by God, and become a shining light to those around her.

Thank You, Lord, for allowing us the honor and privilege of sharing Your Word with those who are searching for hope.

KJV Verse

“Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” — Mark 10:14 (KJV)

Let Your Words Honor the Lord

July 15, 2026

Words are powerful. They can encourage or discourage, build up or tear down, bring hope or bring hurt. As followers of Christ, we have the privilege and responsibility of speaking in a way that honors Him.

Before words ever leave our lips, they begin in our hearts. That’s why David prayed not only that the words of his mouth would be acceptable to God, but also the meditation of his heart. If our hearts are filled with God’s Word, His love, and His Spirit, our speech will naturally reflect Him.

Every conversation gives us an opportunity to represent Jesus. Whether we’re speaking with family, friends, coworkers, or even strangers, our words should be seasoned with kindness, grace, truth, and compassion. Sometimes the greatest witness we have is not a sermon we preach, but the gentle and loving words we speak each day.

Before responding in a difficult situation, pause and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and your tongue. Let Him speak through you. When Christ controls our hearts, He also controls our words.

Today, let’s make David’s prayer our own: “Lord, help my thoughts be pleasing to You, and let every word that comes from my mouth bring glory to Your name.”

Small Beginnings, Eternal Results

July 14, 2026

This past Saturday, the Western New York SOS Events Ministry team, led by Scott, had the privilege of sharing the Gospel at an event held at a local church in Ransomville, New York.

One special blessing was seeing Scott’s 16-year-old daughter faithfully volunteering alongside the team. It is always encouraging to watch young people step forward to serve the Lord. They are not only helping today—they are learning to become tomorrow’s faithful servants.

God blessed the outreach with one woman trusted Jesus as her Savior and a young man listened and will make that decision later.

While some may look at the number and think it is small, Heaven rejoices over every soul that comes to Christ. Those two decisions represent two lives changed for eternity.

We are so thankful for Scott, his family, and every volunteer who faithfully gives of their time to Serve Our Savior. Every conversation, every smile, every Gospel tract, and every prayer is used by God in ways we may never fully know this side of Heaven.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
— Galatians 6:9 (KJV)

Seek Peace!

July 13, 2026

Peace does not always come naturally. Differences of opinion, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and even busy schedules can slowly build walls between people. Yet God’s Word does not tell us to wait for peace to come to us—it tells us to seek it and pursue it.

As Christians, we should make every effort to live in peace with one another. That means choosing forgiveness over bitterness, kindness over harsh words, and humility over pride. Sometimes we have to be the first to make a phone call, send a note, or simply say, “I’m sorry.” Peace is worth pursuing because it reflects the love of Christ.

This is especially important within our families. Home should be a place where grace is freely given and love is constantly shown. No family is perfect, but when we allow the Lord to guide our hearts, He can restore broken relationships and strengthen the bonds we share.

The same is true with our friends and fellow believers. The world is watching how Christians treat one another. When we walk in love, extend forgiveness, and strive for unity, we become a powerful testimony of God’s transforming grace.

Today, ask the Lord to search your heart. Is there someone with whom you need to make peace? Don’t wait. Pray for wisdom, take the first step, and trust God with the results.

May we be known as people who not only love the Lord but also seek peace and pursue it every day.

Sing Unto The LORD!

July 12, 2026

Do you ever sing praises to the Lord when you are alone?

We may sing along as we hear a song or hymn on the radio or other media source. We sing in church or in a group of other Christians, but do you sing to the Lord as worship when you are alone? Just because you love Him and worship Him.

If you never have done that, try it. Jesus delights in our worship from the heart.

Wish You Were Here!

July 11, 2026

Wish You Were Here!

Have you ever been on a wonderful vacation or visited a breathtaking place and found yourself saying, “I wish you were here!” There is something about experiencing joy that makes us want to share it with the people we love.

As Christians, there is an even greater place awaiting us. Jesus has promised to prepare a home for everyone who has trusted Him as Savior. Heaven will be more beautiful than anything we have ever seen on earth. There will be no sorrow, no pain, no tears—only the joy of being in the presence of our Lord forever.

As I think about Heaven, my heart echoes those familiar words: “I wish you were here.” I want every member of my family, every friend, every neighbor, and every person I meet to know the Lord Jesus Christ so they can spend eternity in Heaven. There is no greater invitation we can extend than to share the Gospel and tell others about God’s amazing gift of salvation.

Today, take a moment to pray for someone you love who does not yet know Christ. Then ask God to give you an opportunity to lovingly share the hope that is found in Jesus. One day, what a joy it will be to look around Heaven and see those we prayed for and witnessed to standing there with us.
