                    Scripture & Meditation   May & June 2025

Jesus said, Matthew 11:6) “Blessed is he who is not offended because of Me”.
Our Faith must be tested, because it can only become our intimate possession through conflict. What is challenging your faith right now?, The test will either prove our faith right, or it will kill it.  

The ultimate thing is confidence in Jesus. (
Hebrews 3:14 says, “We have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end…”). Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God— trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.

Faith in God in the Bible is the means by which believers come to God and put their trust in Him for salvation. Faith is a gift from God that enables us to believe in Him and His promises. The Bible defines faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” 


Focus on God
“Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame” (Psalm 34:5). 

Have you ever been in the company of someone who makes time with God a priority? There’s a certain radiance in their attitude, prayers, and overall outlook on life. Their investment of focusing intently on God instead of their circumstances magnifies His glory on their lives. Seek after the Lord first in your day with a precision-like focus on His presence. This will strengthen your faith.

            Scriptures on Faith

Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." Matthew 21:22 "And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Romans 10:17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."
Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
 2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight."

“My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end” (Psalm 119:112).
 
A careful and deliberate study into God’s word will always realign our focus with His will. The scriptures can direct our attention towards the spiritual gaps. Many times our busyness hardens our hearts to the realities of our shortcomings and sinful ways. However by allowing the penetration of God’s sword (the Bible), our vision is softened and we see more clearly the way of the Lord. Study the Bible with greater diligence than any other activity of your day.

“Each of our mines is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by our own permission.”

If we never fell down, we wouldn't know what pain is.
If we never said the wrong thing to someone, we wouldn't know what ticks' people off or hurts them.
Mistakes like these help us understand the other part of reality. We become sharper and less prone to feeling like failures. Because we make less mistakes. We learn what we've done wrong, and it's the experience that helps us grow much faster.
No one can tell our story, so we must tell it our self.
No one can write our story, so we write it our self.
No matter how much we wish we can write like another person, we can't. It's impossible to copy someone else's story. because we have never faced the same struggles or lived the same kind of lifestyle another has lived.       That's why it's better if we focus on what we are genuinely interested in, or what has impacted us the most. Because when we do, writing our own story starts to shine. It's More vivid from our own experiences. People can tell a good story when it comes solely from the person who has experienced it. So, whatever we do. we share our life. Share our world. Because no one else can. Life will bit us from all corners at the most random times. hut just remember, stand strong and live by what you believe

Paul thought us is, Philippians 4:8-9 AMP
 "Finally, [a]believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. 
9. The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you."
​
 
Repute Definition: the opinion generally held of someone or something; the state of being regarded in a particular way
​
Philippians 4:9 discusses how Paul reflected on his life as a model for living a victorious Christian life, encompassing the teachings he imparted and his behavior. Despite facing peril, he discovered a method to welcome the presence of the God of peace, imparting this wisdom to others so they too could experience peace.

​First, consider the directive at the end of verse 8, "center our minds or dwell on these things."
What does it mean to center our minds?
"Each of our minds is a sacred space into which nothing harmful can enter except by our own admission."
Centering our minds, taking control of our thoughts and emotions, can assist us in managing the demands on our time and energy. We must silence the ongoing chatter and clear our minds of anything that does not positively contribute to our lives.


The term "to dwell" refers to the act of contemplating something in a detailed and logical way. It involves thoroughly thinking something through, mulling it over in our minds, meditating on it, and considering it at length. This is what we focus our minds on.
​
   Regardless of your location or activity, you understand the concept of dwelling on thoughts.
​Take worriers, for instance; they are akin to meditators. When they worry, they contemplate their concerns so deeply that it evokes intense feelings of worry. For some, this can consume their entire day.          Similarly, harboring anger or bitterness involves repeatedly mulling over the issues that incite these emotions, causing the heart to react with corresponding feelings of anger, perpetuating a cycle of dwelling on them.

​The battle unfolds within our minds through our thoughts. It's crucial to be mindful of our mental activities. We cannot afford to linger on weak, limiting thoughts, for if we do, we risk becoming trapped by them. We must learn to cultivate our thoughts carefully; it's necessary to dismiss the negative and focus on the positive.
Each thought that crosses our mind should either be condemned and cast away for its transgression against God, or it should be celebrated and elevated for its adherence to Christ. Thus, we recognize that our thoughts are the foundation of all our sins and actions.

                           
It is important to reflect deeply on our thoughts and actions, as they can contribute to the challenges we encounter in life. Thoughts hold power; dwelling on them for too long can lead us to sin or, alternatively, to growth in Christ.

 The LORD is our shepherd, this describes a journey. It is not praising God for one or two miraculous moments in life, but is declaring his goodness, his provision, his guidance, and his presence, throughout the entirety of our journey of life.
Through the Psalms, we learn about the importance of prayer and the acknowledgment of pain, as well as the power of praise and fulfillment of prophecy. This book has been designed as a prayer book for us God's people.
Psalm 23 is about King David's personal relationship with the Lord, and it is truly a blessing to all of us as believers.
Because we too can also take up God's staff like David and proclaim peace in our lives and in the lives of those we love. Amen!
David begins by illustrating the provision of the Lord, both physical and spiritual in (1-3).
He then describes the protection of the Lord, as he travels through dangerous places and in the presence of enemies in (4-5).

 Here are 3 points we should embrace that David did.

1. David found himself in a situation his own human power could not resolve. We all at some point have also found ourselves in this situation.
2. David had to completely rely on and trust in God alone in his hour of need. We all need to do that!
3. David could trust in God because he had a close, personal relationship with him. We all need a personal relationship with the Lord.

Psalm 23 also tells us to “fear no evil” and that God is with us, even when life gets difficult.
God always protects and provides.
There are three main points Psalms point out.
Joy, pain, and prayer


I encourage you to think about the times in David’s life when he was at his best. Confronting a fearsome warrior (Goliath) whom no one else would dare face.  (1 Sam. 17:37). Regarding Goliath, David explained, “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine”
It highlights the themes of faith, courage, and God's deliverance, while also providing a powerful example of trusting in God's strength in the face of overwhelming odds.
Refusing to kill the king who was mercilessly hunting him. (1 Sam. 26:11). Regarding the king trying to kill him, David reasoned, “The Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed”. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.
Humbling himself before the prophet who tells him to repent of the sins he thought he’d gotten away with.
2 Sam. 12:13). Regarding the prophet’s message that David needed to repent of his sins, he responded by saying, “I have sinned against the Lord” 
Each moment of David’s success comes back to his clarity that the Lord is the Shepherd through it all.
He was even willing to put being king on hold, never rushing the process or trying to seize the throne because he knew he would become king when God decided the time was right. We must wait on God's timing.

Each moment of David’s success comes back to his clarity that the Lord is the Shepherd through it all.
He was even willing to put being king on hold, never rushing the process or trying to seize the throne because he knew he would become king when God decided the time was right.
We must wait on God's timing.
In his best moments, David had no doubt who was in charge: the Good Shepherd.
It was God who would protect and guide him from harm verse 23:4.
It was God who anointed David’s head with oil to designate his kingship verse 23:5.
It was God who would lift him up and honor him in the face of all of his enemies when the time was right verse 23:5.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” verse 23:6
David makes a conscious choice here. He chooses to dwell in God’s house, with God. Not just when things are going well, when the sun is shining and nothing hurts. Valleys and worst times of his life, he will live in the conviction that the Lord is his Shepherd.

Our Faith must be tested, because it can only become our intimate possession through conflict.               
​What is challenging your faith right now?,                   
The test will either prove our faith right, or it will kill it. Jesus said,
Matthew 11:6) “Blessed is he who is not offended because of Me”. The ultimate thing is confidence in Jesus.
​(
Hebrews 3:14 says, “We have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end…”). Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God— trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.

Some things we can take away from Psalm 23.
1. He tells us we have everything we need in God.
2. God will give us rest and renewed strength when we follow Him.
3. He tells us we, are never alone.
4. God's unfailing love always pursues us.
This psalm teaches us about the goodness and faithfulness of God, and how He is always there for us, no matter what we may face in
life. 
Remember; We must pray and believe that He will protect us.
We must have faith, for without it, we cannot please God. Let us not forget the promises of God and the stories of His deliverance. These are the times that try our faith, but God will bless us all, because He is our Shepherd.

​
Father, thank you that You are our Shepherd. You provide everything we need when we need it. Lord, I pray Your abundant favor and mercy over all of your people. Make us to lie down in the green pastures of Your Word. In Jesus name!

Psalm 141:3 says, I ask you to Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.” That I speak and say what you want me to say. And That I may decrease and you may increase in Jesus name.

      God grants abilities to those willing to heed His commands. The Tabernacle was constructed according to specific instructions. Those who follow God wholeheartedly will be blessed. As noted in Exodus 39:43, Moses blessed the people for their dedication in constructing the Tabernacle. They utilized their gifts and talents to fulfill the Lord's commands given through Moses, and similarly, we can employ our own gifts and talents. Steadfastness in service leads to divine blessing, which signifies a favorable outcome. The word of God enables us to see our true selves and aids in our adherence to His teachings. As Jesus stated in John 15:3, "We are cleansed by the word He has spoken to us," which is indeed a blessing.​ 


​​1. Surrendering control involves relinquishing our attempts to influence outcomes and trusting that God's plan is for our ultimate good. It means acknowledging that we do not have all the answers and letting go of our desire for certainty. By surrendering control, we embrace vulnerability and humility, recognizing that God's understanding far surpasses our own.

​2. Finding peace amid chaos involves cultivating an inner tranquility and calmness, regardless of external turmoil. It means anchoring oneself in the present moment and trusting that God's peace surpasses all understanding. In seeking comfort in God, we gain the strength to face life's adversities with grace and resilience, confident that His love surrounds us as a protective shield.


​​3. Prayer and meditation are powerful tools for connecting with the divine and seeking guidance in difficult times. Prayer allows us to express our hopes, fears, and desires to God, trusting that He hears and answers according to His will and in His own time. Meditation offers a time to quiet our minds and open our hearts to divine wisdom and insight. By regularly engaging in prayer and meditation, we can deepen our relationship with God and align ourselves more closely with His will.

4. Having faith in God's plan means trusting that there is a purpose behind everything, even when it's not immediately clear. It's about believing that God is orchestrating events from behind the scenes, in accordance with His divine will. This faith allows us to confront life's challenges with confidence, knowing we are never alone.

​​In prayer, it is essential to transcend our human senses, as it is righteousness that causes Satan to tremble. James 5:16 states, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person has great power.” God does not require the input of our five senses—sight, smell, taste, hearing, or touch. These senses hold no value and are unnecessary in the spiritual domain of prayer. It is important to remember that our earthly senses are superfluous.
 2 Peter 1:3-4 says “as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue."
V4. by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature; having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” Apostle Peter tells us that Jesus has given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that hath called us in glory and virtue." (As we walk in obedience).

2 Peter 5, 6 tells us “He will empower us to add to our faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness, and brotherly kindness charity.”                                                                                                                                                       
If this fruit remains within us, our prayer life will be fruitful. When God guides a situation, we need not force circumstances; they will naturally unfold. God is limitless; our limitations come from within. When we cease to desire our own wants and seek what God has for us, we can say to the Lord, "Not my will, but Yours be done."

                                                         Obedience Definition in the Bible
​The general concept of obedience both in the Old and New Testament relates to hearing or hearkening to a higher authority. One of the Greek terms for obedience in the Bible conveys the idea of positioning oneself under someone by submitting to their authority and command. Another Greek word for obey in the New Testament means "to trust."
According to Holman's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, a succinct definition of biblical obedience is "to hear God's Word and act accordingly."
Eerdmans's Bible Dictionary states, "True 'hearing,' or obedience, involves the physical hearing that inspires the hearer, and a belief or trust that in turn motivates the hearer to act in accordance with the speaker's desires." 
​Biblical obedience to God means to hear, trust, submit and surrender to God and his Word.  
​ Matthew 21:22 - And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Romans 10:17 - So, then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

​​2 Peter 1:3, 4 says “as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.
V4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature; having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” Apostle Peter tells us that Jesus has given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that hath called us in glory and virtue. (As we walk in obedience).
     2 Peter 5, 6 tells us “He will empower us to add to our faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness, and brotherly kindness charity.” If all of this fruit will remain in us, our prayer life will be fruitful. When God directs a situation, we don't have to force circumstances they will automatically flow. God has no limitations; the limitation is through us. When we stop wanting what we want, and want what God have for us, say to the Lord, “Not my will, but Your will be done.”   

 1 Timothy 4:4
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;
Psalm 50:14
“Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And pay your vows to the Most High;
Psalm 95:2
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.

1 Peter 2:11-12 says, (NLT)
"11 Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. 12 Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors."                   
 The Bible tells us about being a child of God in
Galatians 3:26 says, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” We see that it is faith in Jesus Christ that makes us children of God. God tells us that when we have faith in Jesus Christ, we also become the children of Abraham.

​The great consideration is that the kingdom of heaven is indeed a treasure, a treasure surpassing all others in riches and desirability.

 Parable of the Hidden treasure.
(​Matthew 13:51-52) says, “Have you understood all these things?" They *said to Him, "Yes."]And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old."
 
Jesus’ teachings are likened to valuable goods that are put in a storeroom where they are added to the things that the owner already has, namely, the Old Testament Scriptures. The disciples of Jesus have a wealth of teaching available for their benefit, And so we do also as one of His disciples

          Being Thankful 

Maintaining an attitude of gratitude is essential. Reflecting on what we are truly thankful for in life is beneficial for us. Often, we take for granted the gifts we have been given. With our busy lives, we may not always take the time to consider what we should be thankful for. Gratitude has the power to transform ordinary days into days of thanksgiving, make routine jobs joyful, and turn everyday opportunities into blessings.

“Develop the practice of gratitude for every good thing that comes your way and make it a habit to give thanks constantly. Since everything has played a part in your progress, you should extend your gratitude to encompass all things.”

                         Speaking Gods Word
Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."
2 Peter 1:20-21, "Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."
1 Peter 4:11 , "Whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever." Amen.
1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Mark 13:9, “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them."
Proverbs 18:20, "From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips."


 “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” 2 Timothy 4:2. “Now, Lord… grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word…” Acts 4:29.

 In Isaiah 41: 10, the Lord says, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” When we have faith in God and our sufficiency is from Him, then we can have great boldness in the situations of life to do and speak what He works in our hearts. It doesn’t matter how weak and helpless we may feel; God Himself has promised that He will strengthen us to accomplish His will.
 It is written in Revelation 12:11 that the God's people overcame Satan “by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony.” As Christians, we need to follow Christ in truth, and keep God’s Word with all of our hearts.
(
John 14:23) If we are doing this, we have power and authority in our testimony. Then we can speak about God’s Word with great boldness, as we have personally experienced God’s working in our lives. Satan, who is also known as the “accuser of the brethren,” wants nothing more than to silence God’s people. When God’s Word is spoken in power and boldness, Satan is powerless. So, he tries to intimidate us with accusing thoughts, and feelings of inferiority and weakness, reminding us of our failures. Again and again, he tells us that we have nothing to give, and it is better if we just remain silent.
          

Sufficiency from God:  In John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” When we follow Christ on the way of humiliation then it is clear that we actually receive the light of life! This is not something of ourselves, or something that comes from our own intellect or personal abilities. No, it is something that comes from God Himself. “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant…” 2 Corinthians 3:5-6.

​   6 simple ways we can speak God’s Word together as a family:
1. Memorize a weekly Bible verse, or as often as you choose.
2. Choose a passage to read aloud every night.
3. Create a scripture answer list and be ready to face life’s challenges with the Word. Choose a verse for when you need courage, in any area of your life.
4. If you have a family, Choose a family scripture verse and display it in your home. Refer to it regularly and say it together.
5. Study the Bible for yourself, and if you are a family, study together.  Choose a passage and read it aloud then discuss it together.
6. Keep right on doing what you are doing out loud… simply speak out the scriptures  and stories you read, as a family or individually.

There is great power in the spoken word. Speaking aloud something  can make a huge difference in hiding God’s Word in our hearts. When we declare God’s Word together as a family or for ourselves, we cover ourselves and our home in truth.  Deuteronomy 6:4-9 says, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."                                          ​

    In Isaiah 41: 10, the Lord says, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” When we have faith in God and our sufficiency is from Him, then we can have great boldness in the situations of life to do and speak what He works in our hearts. It doesn’t matter how weak and helpless we may feel; God Himself has promised that He will strengthen us to accomplish His will.    
                                              

 For God speaks to the world through a deeper Knowledge within the individual and through the power of united relationships, where this deeper power can be expressed and experienced between two or more people.

​Say It! Then Pray It! Speaking God’s Word Aloud
Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words."
​
God desires that we as His servants do and speak His Word with all boldness of faith. We are to encourage and exhort one another, to build one another up in our faith. But, often, there are a multitude of thoughts which can hinder us from doing so.

                                                                 ​Sanctification by Faith
​Ephesians 4: 22-24 “Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by its deceitful desires. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 
Put on your new nature,
 created to be like God- truly righteous and holy.”
 
​We should put our past behind us and leave our old desires and impulses behind. Think of the new pathways God is forging for you! It will be a process; Satan will work hard to try to turn us back into our old selves. Our job is to change our thoughts, attitudes, words, and actions for the better. God gives us a new nature, but it is up to us to choose to resist sin.

                             Guard your heart. 
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” Proverbs 4:23 
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” 
Proverbs 3:5 NLT “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” 
Psalm 51:10 ESV 
                       Grow Strong in the Word
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2 
“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” 
Hebrews 4:12 And one of my personal favorites: “
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
” Psalm 119:105 •

​                             Worship
“Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker.” Psalm 95: 1,2,6  “Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” Luke 4:8 •
                                   Prayer
  
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7  “Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:12 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

 Perseverance is the path to new beginnings Perseverance is the pathway to a new start because a new beginning often requires patience.  James 5:11 says, “As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. 

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassion's never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘“The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him’” 
(Lamentations 3:22-24). Here we see the beauty of a new day. A new morning. New mercies awaiting us​

  Ecclesiastes 3:1-5 says, “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;” ​

. We see that they are new every morning… thus acknowledging that we are on this journey and it’s not a one time fix all. Today is a new day! Let’s be grateful!  “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34-35). We see in this passage that while Jesus was here on earth, even He was doing a new thing! He was teaching believers a new way of living, a new commandment, a new covenant: to love as we have been loved. 

  • Faith refers to a strong belief or confidence one has in something or someone. This faith is what helps us get through the major problems and obstacles we experience in life.
    If you are facing any issues and you’re feeling hopeless because of a problem, just relax and rely on your faith. Remain calm and believe that a solution is coming your way.
    Here are the most inspiring faith quotes for you.
    Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to.
    Without faith a man can do nothing; with it all things are possible. – Sir William Osler

As you practice counting your blessings, you will find that your faith is being suddenly revitalized.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can’t always understand them, but we have to trust in them. I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little faith. 
Lauren Kate
       

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind” (Isaiah 65:17). Sometimes we just need to let go of the past and embrace the new season. Just like God does.  “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah’” (Jeremiah 31:31). The new covenant was given to us through the blood of Jesus. This is our hope. Newness is our inheritance. Jesus is the truest gift of newness in our lives. Newness of heart. Newness of eternity. From death to life.  “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 11:19). We are given a new spirit as children of God. He turns our hearts from stone to flesh. New beginnings. New mercies. Newness of life forevermore. 

                     We place our faith in God and expect the best.
Having faith is having joyous expectation. Placing our faith in God, we must expect and accept positive outcomes. When we pray to successfully accomplish our goals, we receive clear direction. If we are praying for healing, we expect to be healed. When we pray for a loved one, we place our faith in the presence and activity of God at work within them to bring forth their highest good.
We must release negative thoughts, worries, or fears for they indicate our attention has drifted away from God. We must redirect our expectations with positive outcomes in mind. Growing in spiritual understanding requires ongoing practice. It's a lifetime journey. So we must step forward in faith with our mind and heart on God, secure in the knowledge that divine love is at work in each of us
1 Corinthians 16:13 tells us, "Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong." 

                                                      ​   God words of encouragement for us.

                                   We should always celebrate the power of forgiveness.
We are all works in progress, constantly learning and evolving. As we strive to become our best selves, mistakes are inevitable; however, with new understanding, we improve. To recall the essence of our existence, we take a moment to breathe softly and engage in a holy time of prayer. In connecting with our divine essence, we let go of negativity and unhelpful viewpoints. As limiting beliefs fade away, our true selves become clear. With this elevated view, we acknowledge the completeness in ourselves and others.
Despite past errors, it's important to remember that we are all capable of love and are indeed loved. We embrace the transformative power of forgiveness that liberates us and those around us.
Revelation 21:4 states, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes... there will be no more mourning, nor crying, nor pain, for the former things have departed." Sending blessings and love to you and for you!

We should have faith that we receive when we pray, and we can possess whatever we believe. The scripture advises us to harbor forgiveness in our hearts as we pray.
Read Mark 11:22-25.                                          I'm not suggesting that these are all the answers. It's crucial to recognize the power of prayer. God has provided us with a framework for praying according to His word and will. We must align our prayers with His will, not ours. Sometimes, we become so focused on our problems during prayer that we overlook the promises God has made to us in His word. Isaiah 55:11 says, “So is my word that goes out my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent” (NIV). That is awesome! God’s word cannot and will not return void! Praying God’s word, we can never go wrong.

        Always remember
"Nothing goes right on the outside when nothing is going right on the inside"

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "If any man be in Christ he is a new creature. Old things has passed away, behold all things become new."
​Everyday from the first day I prayed this prayer, I'm just thanking Him everyday, it's already done, in Jesus Name!

​Beautiful words and encouragements, that different authors has given us to embrace.
enjoy each clip as they stroll by, and allow them to minister to you.

         Something to remember   
 True beauty is found in a balanced life and a personal relationship with Christ, recognizing His love for us and nurturing God's creation. As our lives are observed by the world, Matthew 5:16 reminds us to "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Beauty should complement our inner spirit and not impede the work of God's Kingdom.

                    

        

Over time, we learn that God operates through love. Love is His transformative power—it changes our lives, heals, and repairs all forms of brokenness. As Matthew 26:33 states, "I will not be offended in Him." Regardless of circumstances, His love beckons us to obedience, turning it into a joy, no matter the challenges we face. We discover the profound truth that God's grace is truly sufficient, and His strength is perfected in our weakness. His grace and strength are unfailing; with Him, all things are achievable. Matthew 28:20 assures us, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."

 Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need. Hebrews 4;16 ,NIV

1. Pray that God would awaken the passion inside of you to live for Him and Him alone.
2. Ask God to set a fire within you — a hunger for more of Him and His Word.
3. Pray that your desire to be close to God would only continue to increase.
4.Spend a few minutes remembering and journaling about how you felt when you first came to know Jesus. Ask God to make you feel that way again.
