Blessed Are Those Who Trust in the Lord

August 5, 2026

One of the greatest blessings in the Christian life is learning to trust the Lord completely. We often face situations we cannot understand or control, but God never asks us to carry those burdens alone. Instead, He invites us to place our confidence in Him.

Jeremiah 17:7 reminds us, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” What a beautiful promise! True blessing is not found in wealth, success, or an easy life. It is found in a heart that rests securely in the Lord.

There have been many times in my own life when I did not know what the next step would be. Yet God has always proven Himself faithful. Looking back, I can honestly say that trusting Him has never been a mistake. His timing is perfect, His wisdom is beyond our understanding, and His love never fails.

Whatever challenge you may be facing today, place it in God’s hands. Trust Him even when you cannot see the outcome. Make Him your hope, and you will discover the peace and blessing that only He can give.

Trust the Lord today—He has never failed and He never will.

Today Is An Event!

July 31, 2026

Event Evangelism, Inc is the legal name for SOS Events ministry and all of our witnessing takes place at events. The definition of an event by the founder of SOS Events ministry is “An event is when you get up in the morning.”

Everyday is another opportunity to witness. Young mother at home with small children, witness to someone on the phone or a neighbor or delivery man. Student, witness to your unsaved fellow students. Business man or woman, you have many opportunities to witness as you work (make sure you do not do it on the boss’s time). Elderly, even in a nursing home you have people around you to witness to for the Lord.

Today is an event. Give someone a tract, tell someone your testimony or use the simple “3 Things God Can Not Do” approach which takes less than 2 minutes. Make today your special event.

Acts 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth

Seek God First

July 22, 2026

Life is full of responsibilities, decisions, and distractions. It’s easy to become consumed with worrying about tomorrow or chasing after the things we think will make us happy. Yet Jesus gives us a simple but life-changing priority: seek God first.

When we begin each day in God’s Word, spend time in prayer, and desire to honor Him in all we do, He promises to take care of our needs. That doesn’t mean life will always be easy, but it does mean we never have to walk through it alone. Our Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need, and He is faithful to provide according to His perfect will.

As we serve the Lord through our homes, churches, workplaces, and ministries, let’s keep our focus where it belongs—not on the temporary things of this world, but on the eternal things of God. When Christ is first in our lives, everything else finds its proper place.

Today, let’s make a fresh commitment to seek His kingdom above all else and trust Him with the rest. There is no better place to be than in the center of God’s will.

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.

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.

Perfect Peace

June 29, 2026

It is easy for our minds to become filled with worries about tomorrow, our families, our health, or the many responsibilities we carry. The more we focus on our circumstances, the more anxious we become. But God gives us a better place to fix our thoughts—on Him.

This verse does not promise a life without problems. It promises perfect peace for those whose minds are stayed on the Lord. When we trust His wisdom, rest in His promises, and remember that He is always in control, our hearts can remain calm even when life is uncertain.

Today, when anxious thoughts begin to crowd your mind, pause and turn your thoughts back to God. Spend time in His Word, thank Him for His faithfulness, and trust Him with every concern. The God who holds the universe in His hands is more than able to hold your heart in perfect peace.


Heavenly Father, help me keep my mind fixed on You today. When worries come, remind me to trust Your promises and rest in Your care. Thank You for the perfect peace that only You can give. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

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.

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!
