Have you ever had a situation where you were so frustrated and felt like giving up? Then you called upon the Lord and the answer came.
God loves His children and desires that we lean on Him for strength, wisdom and guidance.
When the answer to prayer comes we need to thank the Lord. Sometimes it is then we realize that He was there all the time. Waiting for us to call on Him.
So, when situations come that could make us feel discouraged, stop and call on God. He will answer!
There is something powerful about coming together with God’s people. Hebrews 10:25 reminds us that gathering is not just a routine—it is a necessity. In a world that often pulls us apart and distracts us, the Lord calls us to be faithful in assembling together.
When we come to church, we are strengthened. We encourage one another, we worship together, and we are reminded that we are not alone in this journey. Every handshake, every prayer, every song lifts our hearts and points us back to Christ.
Now more than ever, we need each other. As we see the day approaching, let us be faithful to gather, to encourage, and to shine brightly for Jesus wherever He places us.
Do you feel overwhelmed and there is so much to do? No time to get it all done.
Jesus gave us the answer in Matthew 11:28. “ Come unto me“, He said.
Stop, take a few minutes to read His Word, pray and ask Him for wisdom, strength to calm to fill your mind and heart.
Peace will come over you and all things will be accomplished. Maybe some things will have to wait until later but you will have assurance that it is in His hands.
How often do we try to “figure it out” before we fully trust God? We say we trust Him, but then we lean on our own understanding—our plans, our timing, our reasoning.
These verses are a simple but powerful reminder: trust Him completely.
Not halfway. Not when it makes sense. Not only when things are going well.
“All thine heart” means everything—your worries, your decisions, your future, even the things you don’t understand.
And then it says, “In all thy ways acknowledge him.” That means bringing Him into every part of your day—not just the big decisions, but the small ones too.
When we do that, God promises something beautiful: He shall direct thy paths.
You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to trust the One who already has.
Today, let’s choose to trust Him a little more… and lean on Him a little less on ourselves.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
These verses remind us that true worship begins with humility.
The psalmist calls us to bow down and kneel before the Lord our Maker. When we recognize who God is—the Creator, the Shepherd, and our loving God—it naturally brings our hearts to a place of reverence and gratitude.
The passage also gives a comforting truth: “We are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.” Just as a shepherd watches over and cares for his sheep, God watches over His people. He guides us, protects us, and leads us in the right way.
In a busy world filled with noise and distractions, God invites us to pause and come before Him in worship. When we humble ourselves before the Lord, we are reminded that we belong to Him and that He faithfully cares for us.
Today, take a moment to bow your heart before the Lord. Thank Him for being your Shepherd, your Maker, and your faithful God who holds you in His hand.
God’s Word never fades, fails or falters. The one thing that we can trust in and rely on is the truth of the Bible.
Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida has surpassed the half way mark! Five more days to go.
There have been 120 decisions up until yesterday! Praise the Lord!
Please join me in prayer for the rest of this event, that people will be saved, volunteers will be filled with the spirit, and that the remaining shifts will be filled.
We still have empty opportunities for volunteers, especially the evening shifts and all day on Sunday.
A true witness delivereth souls: Proverbs 14:25a
Sometimes the task in front of us feels bigger than we are — whether it’s leading, serving, stepping out in faith, or simply facing another day. But our strength is not in ourselves. Our courage is not in our personality. It is in His presence.
If God has called you to it, He will walk with you through it.
So today, don’t shrink back. Don’t let fear make your decisions. Stand strong, move forward, and remember — you never go alone.
