When Weary Comes Calling

June 25, 2026

There are days when we become weary. Sometimes it is physical. Our bodies simply grow tired from the demands of life. Other times it is mental. Worries, decisions, and responsibilities can leave us exhausted. Then there is spiritual weariness, when we feel discouraged, defeated, or wonder if our labor for the Lord is making a difference.

The wonderful news is that God understands every kind of weariness, and He has already provided the answer in His Word.

The Lord invites us to come to Him:

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

Notice that Jesus does not say we will never become weary. Instead, He promises rest when we come to Him. We find renewed strength through prayer, reading His Word, and trusting Him with every burden we carry.

If you are physically tired, ask God for the strength you need today. If your mind is filled with worry, remember that He is in control. If you are spiritually weary, do not quit. Keep serving, keep praying, and keep trusting the One who never grows weary.

Today, whatever kind of weariness you are experiencing, take it to the Lord. His strength is always greater than our weakness, and His promises never fail.

Attitude

June 18, 2026

One of the few things we can control each day is our attitude. We cannot control the weather, the economy, or even the actions of other people. But we can choose how we respond to the circumstances God allows into our lives.

A positive, Christ-centered attitude does not mean pretending that problems do not exist. It means trusting God in the middle of those problems. When we face disappointments with faith, serve others with joy, and remain thankful even during difficult seasons, we become a testimony of God’s grace to those around us.

At SOS Events, we often find that people are drawn not only to what we say, but to the spirit in which we say it. A cheerful attitude can open doors for witnessing that a negative spirit may close. Whether at a flea market, car show, church event, or in the office, our attitude reflects our relationship with Christ.

Today, ask yourself: Does my attitude point others to Jesus? May we choose gratitude over complaining, kindness over criticism, and faith over fear.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
— Colossians 3:23 (KJV)

What Would Jesus Think?

May 26, 2026

Do you remember the saying, “What Would Jesus Do?” It became very popular years ago. Many people wore bracelets, placed it on their cars, or displayed it in their homes.

Today, I want to encourage you to think of it a little differently:
“What Would Jesus Think?”

If we think like Jesus, we begin to put others before ourselves. We strive to be humble rather than proud. We choose to give rather than take. We learn to love our neighbors with compassion and grace. As we grow in this mindset, we become more like Jesus.

So today, rather than grumble and complain, let us choose thankfulness. Let us look at others through the eyes of Christ. Let us think with kindness, humility, and love.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:5 KJV

Who Is The Most Important?

May 12, 2026

Who is the most important person in your life? It may be your spouse, a child, your boss or coworker, maybe your best friend. All of these people are important.

But, there is someone that should be the person that is even more important than anyone else.

He is able to comfort, guide, bless, and save you. He provides a way to eternal life through His death, burial and resurrection. His name is Jesus. Please make Him the most important person and Lord of your life.

Brighten Someone’s Corner Today!

May 7, 2026

There is a little song “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”. 

“Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar,
To the many duties ever near you now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are. 

Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar;
Brighten the corner where you are!”

Today why don’t you encourage someone with a phone call, text message, note or a simple smile may make someone’s day brighter. Maybe a single Mom, a lonely person, a friend who struggling with a problem or a stranger who needs a friendly greeting. You will be the one who gets a blessing along with the person you are encouraging

Be A Fountain, Not A Drain

May 5, 2026

There is a simple quote that carries a powerful truth: Be a fountain, not a drain.

A fountain refreshes.
A drain takes away.

As believers, we have a choice each day. We can be the kind of person who pours life, encouragement, and hope into others—or we can become someone who constantly pulls the joy out of every room we enter.

In John chapter 4, Jesus met a woman at a well. She came carrying the weight of her past, the burden of her failures, and the emptiness of a thirsty soul. But after one conversation with Jesus, everything changed.

Jesus offered her something greater than the water in her bucket. He offered her living water.

“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” — John 4:14 KJV

That woman came to the well empty.
She left overflowing.

And what did she do next? She went and told others.

The woman who came needing became the woman who was pouring.
The one who came thirsty became a fountain.

That is what Jesus still does today.

When we spend time with Him, He fills us with His Word, His peace, His joy, and His Spirit. And when we are filled with Him, we begin to overflow into the lives of others.

A fountain encourages.
A fountain gives.
A fountain refreshes.
A fountain points others to Jesus.

This world has enough drains—enough negativity, criticism, and discouragement.

Today, ask the Lord to make you a fountain.

Let your words refresh.
Let your kindness flow.
Let your testimony point someone to the Savior.

Be a fountain, not a drain.

Will You Be A Worker In God’s Field?

May 4, 2026

There is a great need in ministry today—not just for workers, but for willing hearts. The fields are still white unto harvest, and the need for faithful volunteers and godly leaders has never been greater. SOS Events continues to go where people are, meeting them in everyday places with the hope of the Gospel. But this work takes people who are willing to pray, willing to serve, and willing to say “yes” when God calls.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 9:37 & 38 to be people of simple obedience and honest commitment. When God stirs our hearts to serve, He is not looking for excuses or hesitation. He is looking for a willing “yes.” A yes to pray. A yes to lead. A yes to stand in the gap and help carry the Gospel to those who need it most.  

Today, pray for SOS Events. Pray for more volunteers with compassionate hearts. Pray for leaders who will rise up with wisdom, courage, and a burden for souls. Pray for laborers who will answer the call with a simple and faithful “yes, Lord.”

The need is great, but our God is greater. May He stir hearts, raise up servants, and send forth laborers into His harvest.

What Are You Seeking?

April 18, 2026

Have you found yourself chasing the treasures and pleasures of this world? Have you attempted to find peace and purpose outside of the One who created you?

It’s not too late for you, and you are not too far from God.

So what can you do? Seek Him. Call on Him. Change your ways. Turn to Him. And what will He do? He will be near. He will offer His mercy. He will forgive even the worst of your decisions, mistakes, and sins.

God is good. God is also good at being God. He created you, He loves you, and He wants a relationship with you. 

You can ignore His nudges and reject His love, continuing to do things your way. So while you still can … seek Him, call on Him, change your ways, and turn to Him. He is your loving Father, and He is your merciful God.

Quote From John R. Rice

April 14, 2026

“The so-called “social gospel” lays stress upon this life, not on the next. In many quarters it is now regarded as very old-fashioned and passe’ to urge people to prepare to die. Social security, better housing, relief for tenant farmers, better living conditions for the poor and the care of underprivileged children—these have occupied so much of the teaching and preaching of these modern days, that preachers have left hungry-hearted people ignorant about Heaven.”
― John R. Rice

John Rice was a powerful preacher many years ago. He has passed from this life to a new life in Heaven. His words are still even more true today.

Are you ready for Heaven?

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

God’s Word

March 25, 2026

“If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.” (C.H. Spurgeon)

Many people from all over the world have an opportunity to study God’s word on SOS Events home page. If you have not used the Bible studies by Porter Barrington, do one today. Each one will give you knowledge and more understanding of God and the Bible.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11
