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.

Pray for Those Who Visit Our Website

June 23, 2026

This week we were amazed to learn that people from 53 different countries visited our blog. What an incredible reminder that God can use even a simple website to reach people around the world with the message of His love.

Every visitor represents a person with a soul that will spend eternity somewhere. Some may be searching for answers. Some may be carrying burdens and heartaches. Others may have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel. Yet God, in His providence, allowed them to visit our website and read about His wonderful gift of salvation.

The greatest expression of God’s love was demonstrated when He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, the way has been made for all people to be forgiven and receive eternal life.

Today, let us pray for those who visit the website. Pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to their hearts as they read. Pray that those who do not know Jesus as their Savior will understand the Gospel and place their faith in Him. Pray that believers will be encouraged, strengthened, and drawn closer to the Lord.

We may never meet many of these visitors on this side of heaven, but God knows each one by name. What a joy it would be to one day meet people in heaven who came to know Christ because they visited a website, read a blog, or were touched by a message that pointed them to Jesus.

Let us continue to faithfully share the Good News and trust God to use it for His glory around the world.

Create In Me A Clean Heart!

June 22, 2026

When we clean our homes, we often find ourselves getting rid of things we have accumulated over the years. Sometimes that can be difficult because those items hold sentimental value. Yet we realize that keeping them means one more thing to dust, store, or take care of.

Spiritually, the same thing can happen in our hearts. We may hold on to attitudes, habits, hurts, grudges, fears, or sins that are not pleasing to the Lord. We become accustomed to carrying them, even though they weigh us down and hinder our fellowship with God.

A clean house can make us feel refreshed, but a clean heart is far more important. David understood this when he prayed, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10 KJV)

Today, let us ask the Lord to search our hearts and help us remove anything that does not honor Him. As we surrender those things to Him, He can renew our spirit and restore the joy of walking closely with Him.

A Tribute To Fathers

June 21, 2026

Father’s Day is a special time to honor the men who have influenced our lives through love, sacrifice, wisdom, and faith. Whether they are fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, or spiritual fathers, these men leave a lasting impact on their families and communities.

A good father does much more than provide for his family. He teaches by example. He shows his children how to work hard, how to treat others with kindness and respect, and most importantly, how to trust God through both the joys and challenges of life. Many of us can look back and remember a father’s encouraging words, his quiet strength, and the sacrifices he made that often went unnoticed.

The Bible places great value on the role of a father. Proverbs 20:7 says, “The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” (KJV) A father’s greatest legacy is not wealth or possessions, but a life of integrity and faithfulness to God.

Today, we want to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, grandfathers, family members, friends, volunteers, pastors, and supporters who faithfully lead, serve, and love those around them. Thank you for your example, your prayers, and your commitment to your families.

To those whose fathers are now in Heaven, may this day bring precious memories and gratitude for the influence they had on your life.

May God richly bless all fathers today and strengthen them as they continue to make a difference for His glory.

Real Freedom!

June 19, 2026

True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want. Real liberty is found in knowing Jesus Christ and allowing His Spirit to guide our lives. Before salvation, we are bound by sin, fear, guilt, and the burdens of this world. But when we trust Christ as our Savior, He gives us freedom—freedom from condemnation, freedom to serve Him, and freedom to live with hope and purpose.

As Christians, we still face trials and difficulties, but the Spirit of God living within us gives us peace and strength that the world cannot provide. We are free to worship, free to pray, free to share the Gospel, and free to walk in obedience to the Lord.

Today, thank God for the liberty that comes through Christ. May we use that freedom not for ourselves, but to honor Him and point others to the Savior who sets people truly free.

A wonderful reminder, especially as we celebrate our freedoms as Americans, that the greatest freedom of all is found in Christ.

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)

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.

Growing Beyond the Decision

June 16, 2026
Carolyn and Carla. Carla sends the Bible Studies

Recently I had the privilege of traveling to Georgia and visiting Source of Light Ministries, a partnering ministry that sends Bible studies to those who make decisions for Christ through SOS Events.

This visit reminded me why it is so important for our prayer partners and volunteers to carefully collect the names, addresses, and ages of those who trust Jesus as their Savior at our events. A decision for Christ is the beginning of a new life, not the end of the journey. Through these Bible studies, new believers can learn God’s Word, grow in their faith, and be encouraged to become active in a local Bible-believing church.

We are grateful for this partnership and for the opportunity to help new Christians take their next steps in their walk with the Lord. Every name represents a precious soul for whom Christ died, and every Bible study mailed is an opportunity for spiritual growth.

KJV Verse

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
— 1 Peter 2:2 (KJV)

Rejoicing Through the Difficult Days

June 15, 2026

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
— Psalm 118:24 (KJV)

There was a time in my life when this verse became more than just a Scripture—it became my daily lifeline. During one of the most difficult seasons I have ever faced, I learned that rejoicing is not always about celebrating great victories. Sometimes it is simply choosing to thank God for one blessing today.

What made a tremendous difference during that season was one of my fifth-grade students. This sweet child knew of my sorrow and, almost every day, would bring me something to remind me that there was still good in the world and reasons to be thankful. Sometimes it was a simple gift, a note, a flower, or just an encouraging thought. Those small acts of kindness became daily reminders of God’s love and care.

Looking back, I realize that God was using that young student to teach me an important lesson. When our hearts are heavy, we do not have to find a hundred reasons to rejoice. We only need to find one. Day by day, God provided that one reason through a caring child who helped me see His hand at work even in the midst of sorrow.

Psalm 118:24 reminds us that every day is a gift from God. Even when life is difficult, He gives us reasons to be thankful. When we focus on those blessings, our faith is strengthened, our perspective changes, and we are reminded that God is still in control.

Today, if you are facing a difficult season, ask the Lord to help you find one thing to rejoice in. It may be a friend, a kind word, a beautiful sunrise, or an unexpected blessing. That one reason may be exactly what God uses to carry you through the day.

Have a blessed Monday, and rejoice in the goodness of God!

Have A Blessed Sunday!

June 14, 2026


Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations

Psalm 100 is a great Bible passage to start our week, our day and all the time.

God is good and we have so much to praise the LORD for and be grateful for everything HE has done for us
