When we look up at the sky — whether bright blue in the day or filled with stars at night — we see God’s handiwork on full display. It’s as if God Himself painted the sky with beauty beyond compare. He hung the sun to shine by day and placed the moon and stars to rule the night.
Even Jesus, who loved everyone perfectly, didn’t give everyone access to Him. He knew when to engage — and when to walk away. Sometimes distance is wisdom.
The Holy Spirit gives us discernment in our daily lives. He leads us where we should go and warns us where we shouldn’t. He will give us clarity about people, situations, and decisions — whether to speak or stay silent, to engage or step away.
We’re familiar with the story of Daniel in the lions’ den. God sent His angel to shut the mouths of the lions, protecting Daniel from physical harm. That’s a powerful reminder of how God moves in the physical realm on behalf of His people. ut God’s protection isn’t limited to what we can see.
It hurts deeply when betrayal comes from someone close — a friend, spouse, or even a family member. The words may have sounded loving — but they were only setting a trap.
There is no power greater than God. All wisdom, knowledge, and understanding flow from Him. It is because of Him that the earth still stands today. While some fear that an asteroid or disaster will inevitably destroy the world, the children of God rest in a greater truth — nothing happens outside of His will.
Lies can be bought for money — but the truth will cost you. And no amount of money can purchase it.
The truth comes with a price. In a world where truth has become unpopular — even treated like the enemy — standing for truth will set you apart. But that’s exactly why it’s priceless.
God defines perfection. His Word has been tested through every generation and has never failed. All who walk with the Lord know His faithfulness goes beyond human understanding. He is a shield — a protector — to all who place their trust in Him.
Our walk with Christ is a transformative journey. It begins when we seek forgiveness through Jesus, and along the way, we will find ourselves seeking forgiveness many times as the Holy Spirit convicts us. Yet one thing remains certain: the love of Christ keeps no record of our wrongs.
There is a season and purpose for everything. At times, we find ourselves in deep valleys—places of struggle, uncertainty, and pain. Whether it’s financial hardship, marital struggles, or health concerns, these valleys test our faith. But just as gold is refined in fire, so too are we purified through our trials.
There will come a day when everything done in darkness will be brought into the light. God’s justice is not always immediate, but it is certain. The wicked may seem to prosper for a time, but they will not escape God’s judgment. As Ecclesiastes 12:14 reminds us:
A gentle response can defuse conflict, while harsh words can escalate it. In today’s world, there’s enough controversy that it doesn’t take much to spark someone’s anger. From politics, religion, and sports to racism, fake news, or just about any topic you can imagine, tempers flare easily.
Jesus has come to rescue us from darkness—not just the absence of light but the deep hopelessness that sin brings. Life can feel overwhelming, full of despair, and at times, it may seem like there is no way forward. Yet, in those moments, we have a hope that is greater than our circumstances.
