Greetings to all. This weekend, let’s not let anyone tell us or make us feel as though we have no value. It is God who affirms our value. Sometimes others make you feel like trash, used up and discarded. But even when we feel worthless and cast aside, God sees our true value and is ready to restore us. In His eyes, we are treasures, not trash. 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KJV 1900) 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not o

Greetings to all. As we close out the week, let us take a moment to reflect on and appreciate the trials and tests we've encountered. No one wants to face trials, but without them, we have no testimony. The biblical truth about trials is that overcoming trials gives us testimonies of God’s protection. No test, no testimony. Trust God in our testing time. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV 1900) 13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who

Greetings to all. On this grateful Thursday, let us rejoice in God's favor. In a world full of uncertainty, as we rise each day, we should meet God in prayer. There are times when we receive kindness from others and do not know whom to thank; in these moments, it is right to thank God for our blessings. Though God does not show favoritism, He does show favor and protection to His own. So, we are always invited to thank Him for His favor and protection. Psalm 5:12 (AMP) 12 F

Greetings to all. On this hump day, Wednesday, let us keep in mind that no matter where we are, God always welcomes us back. Despite the truth that God is with us, we sometimes find ourselves off the path God has for us on this journey of life. When we realize this, we must not turn to negativity; we must repent and turn to God’s pathway for the redeemed. Isaiah 55:7 (AMP) 7Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, an

Greetings to all. This week, be intentional in your actions and how you treat others. It can be difficult to recognize and judge others’ actions correctly. There's a rule in baseball that says three strikes, you're out. In life, to protect our peace, sometimes it may be wise to allow only two strikes for divisive, argumentative, and those who attempt to steal our peace. Proverbs 26:11 (ASV) 11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is a fool that repeateth his folly. Lesson

Greetings to all. As we begin this week, let us find strength in the persistent, consistent flow of water. Uncertainty can challenge our hope and make us want to give up. Many of us would rather possess the strength of a rock. Remember, consistency and persistence, like flowing water, can be stronger than rock, even shaping it over time. Job 14:19 (NCV) 19 Water washes over stones and wears them down, and rushing waters wash away the dirt. In the same way, you destroy hope. L

Happy Easter! He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed! Greetings to all. This Sunday, let us reflect on God’s power and worship Him for our source of hope, joy, and ongoing salvation through Jesus. Although Jesus said, “It is finished,” His work continues. Despite our griefs, sorrows, and all the uncertainty in the world, the cross, its power, and its message still stand. The cross is central to the Gospel and magnifies the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18–19 (GW) 18The message about

Day 40 Today is Silent Saturday Greetings to all. Let us pause to reflect on God's work among us. There are many times when we feel that God is not with us, He does not care, or that nothing is happening in or for our lives the way we so desire or expect. However, this is as far from the truth as possible: Although at times He may appear silent, God cares, never leaves us, and is always working things for our good. Isaiah 45:15 (NKJV) 15 Truly, You are God, who hides Yourself

Day 39 Today is Good Friday Greetings to all. As we end this week, let us do so, remembering God’s Love. As we reflect on the week, let us consider how few there are in this world who are willing to sacrifice for others. Don't get me wrong, there are sacrificial acts happening every day in our lives, homes, and communities, but there are none like the demonstrative sacrifice of God’s son, Jesus. Romans 5:8–9 (NKJV) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while

Season of Lent: Day 38 Today is Holy Thursday of the Holy Week Happy Passover Greetings to all. On this grateful Thursday, let us reflect and focus on Love and Grace at the table. We are accustomed to saying grace before a meal at the table, which is honorable and traditional. However, today, let us focus on Jesus as He partook of the Last Supper with His disciples. In that moment, Jesus was the grace and love at the table, leaving valuable lessons. Lessons that are valuable

Season of Lent: Day 37 Today is Holy Wednesday of the Holy Week Greetings to all. On this hump day, Wednesday, let us be watchful for hands that wish to harm us. Every hand that reaches for help, or reaches out to help, does not have the best intentions. Betrayal is ugly, evil, and has a deceptive power that can take many forms, coming from unexpected sources. We fool ourselves into thinking that our intentions will go unnoticed. In many cases, betrayers are often exposed. Ma

Season of Lent: Day 36 Today is Holy Tuesday of the Holy Week Greetings to all. As we move through life, let us keep the faith as our guiding principle. In every season, brokenness or healing, day in and day out, life will bring challenges. These things may not feel good or look good, but we must keep the faith. We must trust God to allow all things to work together for His glory. Luke 19:47–48 (GW) 47 Jesus taught in the temple courtyard every day. The chief priests, the ex

Season of Lent: Day 35 Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Today is Holy Monday Greetings to all. As we start this Week, let’s leave the quilt behind and focus on unity and aligning with God’s will as one body. Our guilt and its removal are because of God's will that no one should perish but have everlasting life. Today, let us align with God's will and see ourselves and others as spiritually clean and debt-free. Colossians 2:13–14 (NLT) 13 You were dead be

Greetings to all. This Sunday, let us focus on Jesus and how He knew and kept His assignment. We are called to share the Gospel even if we do not fully understand Jesus. Jesus was fully human and fully God, making it impossible for us to fully understand Him. Throughout Scripture, many didn’t receive Him, as when He entered Jerusalem on a donkey rather than the stallion they expected, causing uncertainty. Psalm 118:25–26 (NLT) 25 Please, LORD, please save us. Please, LORD, pl

Season of Lent: Day 34 Greetings to all. This weekend, reflect on the fact that your every sorrow is noticed, being kept, and recorded. Take a rest and do not worry about loneliness or the sorrows of life. We can trust God to keep track of everything that concerns us. We know that God keeps the best records of the tears we shed in a bottle, and our names are written in the book of life. Psalm 56:8 (NLT) 8 You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in yo

Season of Lent: Day 33 Greetings to all. This Friday, as we end the week, let us be at peace despite all the ways Satan may have come for us. The Enemy hates it when he comes for us and sees that we have God on our side. To be comfort for those who are weary and feeling anxiety, believe it or not, because we are blessed by our awesome God, there are things that Satan can and cannot do. This is especially true when we submit to God and resist Him, the Devil. Deuteronomy 28:7 (

Season of Lent: Day 32 Greetings to all. On this grateful Thursday, let us thank God for our ability to release power and shift atmospheres with prayer. Prayer is the language of every season of our lives. While we must remember that our words are powerful, just imagine how powerful our availing prayers are. We pray in many places of life, including gratitude, weariness, intercession, warfare, and surrender. Remember, our fervent prayers are not empty, overlooked, or powerles

Season of Lent: Day 31 Greetings to all. On this Wednesday, while waiting, let's take the initiative and not wait in the wrong places. While many of us hope for change, real progress comes from taking action. With Faith, we need to put in the effort to make things happen. However, if we wait in the wrong place or do not try, we only fool ourselves and will not get far. James 1:22 (GW) 22 Do what God’s word says. Don’t merely listen to it, or you will fool yourselves. Lesson

Season of Lent: Day 30 Greetings to all. On this Tuesday, let us reflect and discern the times concerning the promised coming of Jesus. Because change is a regular part of life, we too often watch the seasons change and other prophecies come to pass without giving a thought to the signs of the times that Jesus said would be seen before His second coming. Because things happen and the seasons routinely change, for some, it takes away the sense of urgency about Jesus' return. M

Season of Lent: Day 29 Greetings to all. Let us begin this week by choosing humility over power. How power is used reveals the character of those who have it. In the world's system, power sometimes means striving for greatness, no matter the cost. In God's Kingdom, greatness is determined by our willingness to place humility over power in our service to others. Mark 10:42–44 (GW) 42 Jesus called the apostles and said, “You know that the acknowledged rulers of nations have
