God Is My Helper
October 15, 2026A Clean Heart and A Right Spirit
October 4, 2026
Even after we have invited Jesus into our hearts, we still sin. I am thankful that I know my sins are forgiven and that I am on my way to heaven. Yet there are times when my feelings do not reflect that assurance.
That is one reason this verse is so special to me. We can come to the Lord honestly, confessing our sins and asking Him to cleanse our hearts and renew a right spirit within us.
I want that tender heart and the joy I experienced when I first trusted Jesus as my Savior. I want my thoughts, words, and actions to please Him.
Today, let us make this verse our prayer: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”
Tell Others of His Wonderful Love
September 20, 2026
How wonderful it is to tell others about God’s love!
When we think about all that God has done for us—His salvation, His forgiveness, His protection, His provision, and His daily care—how can we keep it to ourselves? There is a world filled with people who need to know that God loves them.
We do not have to be a preacher or missionary to tell someone about Jesus. We can share what He has done in our own life. A kind word, a testimony, a Bible verse, or simply taking the time to tell someone that Jesus loves them can make an eternal difference.
There may be someone you meet today who is discouraged, lonely, or searching for answers. God may have placed that person in your path for a reason. Don’t be afraid to speak about His wonderful works and tell them about the greatest gift ever given—Jesus Christ.
A thankful heart cannot help but tell others about the goodness of God.
Today, look for an opportunity to tell someone: God loves you, and Jesus came so that you can have eternal life.
Clay in the Potter’s Hands
September 18, 2026
Have you ever wondered why God allows certain circumstances to come into your life? Sometimes we do not understand what He is doing. We may even wonder if He is working at all.
But God is the Potter, and we are the clay.
Think about a little child learning to color, cut out shapes, and do things for herself. She is learning lessons that will help shape her life. Then come the teenage years, when there may be some rough edges as a young person tries to discover who they are and where they fit.
Later, a young mother may feel overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for her children. A father may wonder how he will provide for his family and make the right decisions for them.
Every stage of life brings new experiences, responsibilities, joys, disappointments, and challenges. Yet through them all, the Potter is still at work.
A potter does not shape clay with one touch. He patiently works with it, pressing here, smoothing there, sometimes reshaping it until it becomes what he intends it to be.
God works in our lives in much the same way. The circumstances we do not understand today may be some of the very things He uses to strengthen our faith, teach us patience, give us compassion for others, and make us more like Jesus.
We may see only the pressure of the Potter’s hands. God sees the finished vessel.
So when life does not make sense, we can trust the Potter. We are still in His hands, and He is still working.
Lord, help me to be willing clay in Your hands. Mold me, shape me, and use every experience in my life to make me more like Jesus and into the person You want me to be.
God Is Greater Than Our Heart
August 27, 2026
Have you ever asked God to forgive you for something, yet you continue to bring that same sin back to Him? Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is ourselves.
We remember our failures. We think about what we should have done differently. Our heart condemns us, and we allow guilt from the past to steal the joy God wants us to have today.
But God’s Word gives us wonderful assurance: “God is greater than our heart.”
When we confess our sin and truly turn to the Lord, He forgives. We do not have to keep carrying what Jesus has already taken away.
The Bible tells us, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” — Psalm 103:12
And Micah 7:19 tells us that God will “cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.”
What a wonderful picture of God’s mercy! Our forgiven sins do not need to be pulled back up and examined over and over again. God knows everything about us—the good, the bad, the failures, and the regrets—and He still loves us.
If your heart is reminding you today of something God has already forgiven, remember this: God is greater than your heart.
Accept His forgiveness. Leave the past with Him. Thank Him for His mercy, and move forward in the joy and freedom that Jesus Christ gives.
Thank You, Lord, for forgiveness that is greater than our failures.
Thank You, SOS Events Supporters
August 25, 2026
Thank you who give to SOS Events Ministry. Founded in 2001 this ministry has documented over 80,000 souls who have made decisions to follow Jesus. There are some of you who have prayed, volunteered and given financially since the very beginning. Others are new supporters.
Contributions come in snail mail with checks or even cash and there are those people who prefer to give through PayPal. The amount varies from one time large gifts to the little ladies who may send a dollar or two each month. Every donation is appreciated and used to win souls to Christ.
The only paid positions in SOS Events are the small office staff. All others from the President of the ministry to volunteers who spend their own money many times for travel and even cost of events receive nothing from SOS Events except prayer and appreciation. There are a few missionaries who receive designated support and every penny goes directly to them.
Some of you who read this blog may be “turned off” by the subject of money but it does take money to function and win souls in today’s economy. If you have never given to SOS Events but would like to give, every donation large or small is appreciated and will be used to win people to the Lord. Go to the home page and click on the donate button or send via snail mail to SOS, P.O. Box 189, Dover, FL 33527.
If you cannot give financially you can do something even more needed. Pray everyday for the staff, volunteers and most of all for lost souls to be saved.
Love And Forgive
August 20, 2026
Do you have someone you will not forgive?
Forgiveness is a choice. We can harbor that hurt and not forgive or you can choose to forgive and try to mend that broken relationship.
If restoration is not possible, then forgive that person in your heart. Pray for those who despite fully use use you, the Bible tells us. It is hard to hold onto not forgiving when you genuinely pray for that person.
Decide today and start to pray for that one who has hurt you. You will have a freedom you cannot imagine until you do.
What Is True Love?
June 24, 2026
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
What do you think of when you hear the word love? You may think of your spouse, your children.
We use the word love about material things. “ I love my house”
What is true love? The best example is found in the familiar verse, John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God’s love is the greatest love we can experience. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin.
Because of His great love we can have eternal life.
Have you accepted His love?
Love One Another
June 17, 2026
In a world that often encourages us to look out for ourselves first, Jesus gives us a higher calling—to love others the way He loves us. His love is patient, forgiving, sacrificial, and unconditional. It reaches beyond differences, overlooks faults, and seeks the good of others.
As Christians, we are not simply asked to be kind when it is easy. We are commanded to love as Christ loved us. When we show compassion, offer forgiveness, lend a helping hand, or share the Gospel, we reflect the love of Jesus to a world that desperately needs Him.
Today, ask the Lord to help you love others through His strength and grace. One act of Christlike love can make an eternal difference in someone’s life.
Lord, help me to love others as You have loved me. Let Your love shine through my words, actions, and attitudes today.
The Family
June 8, 2026
Family is one of God’s greatest blessings. Through family we experience love, encouragement, support, and shared memories. Whether it is parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, or dear friends who have become like family, these relationships enrich our lives and remind us that we were created for fellowship.
Yet as wonderful as our earthly families are, there is an even greater family to which every believer belongs—the family of God. When we trust Christ as our Savior, we are adopted into God’s family and become brothers and sisters in Christ. Earthly families are precious, but they are temporary. Our relationship with God and His family is eternal.
The family of God spans every nation, generation, and background. One day, all who know Christ will be gathered together in heaven, united forever in His presence. What a joyful reunion that will be! Until then, we should cherish our earthly families while also investing in our spiritual family, encouraging one another and pointing others to Jesus.
