Jesus Comforts

Jesus said in Matthew 5:4: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Do you need comfort? I encourage you to look to our Jesus. He is waiting to forgive, if that is needed. He is waiting to give comfort if you are hurting.

Great news today! Those who are truly repentant and sorrowful over their sin will be forgiven by God. Not only that, God will lift you up on high! Listen to Psalms 69:29: "But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high."

And more great news! There will come a time we will walk on streets of gold with our God. And guess what God will do? Well, it says here in Revelation 21:4: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Follower of Jesus, be encouraged. There will be a happy ending in heaven.

Unbelievers Blinded

Unbelievers Blinded

2 Corinthians 4:4  in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

Let us continue to pray for those we know who need God's love, forgiveness, and salvation. The enemy may have blinded their eyes, but our Lord Jesus can set them free!

You know, it's good to be reminded that Jesus freed us believers from our old spiritual blindness. Listen to what it says here in Ephesians 2:1-2: "You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience." Think about it: Jesus freed us; He can do the same for loved ones and other folks we are praying for.

I want to encourage all fellow believers that if you are having struggles with the enemy that God will give you victory. Don't give up! Ephesians 6:12  reminds us: "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." Remember, like it says in First  Corinthians 15:57  "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Let's continue to pray for the lost and witness to our Lord Jesus because when people see Jesus, they see the One who sent Him. John 12:45 reads: "He who sees me sees him who sent me."

God Makes Everything Work For You

God makes everything work out according to His plan for believers. Ephesians 1:11 (NLT) reminds us: "Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan."

God causes everything to work together for good for believers. Romans 8:28: "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

God's plans for believers are too numerous to list! Psalm 40:5: "O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them."

Let's look to God and trust His will and guidance for us today. After all Father knows best!

Anchored In The Truth

Anchored in the Truth.

"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." — Acts 2:42

In the early days of the church, the first believers faced a world of immense pressure and competing ideas. Their secret to standing firm wasn’t a new strategy; it was steadfastness. They didn’t just listen to the apostles’ teaching once—they lived in it.

To be "steadfast" means to be stubbornly loyal and fixed in place. For us today, staying faithful means tethering our lives to the New Testament—the preserved record of Christ’s words and the Apostles’ instructions. When the world offers "new truths," we return to the original truth. When we feel isolated, we return to fellowship. When we feel self-sufficient, we return to prayer.

Faithfulness isn't about a one-time decision; it’s about the daily rhythm of abiding in what has already been revealed. By holding fast to the teachings of the New Testament, we ensure our lives are built on the Rock that never shifts.

Let us pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word. Give me the strength to remain steadfast and loyal to the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles. Let my life be a reflection of Your unchanging truth. Amen.
