Verse Of The Day - 1 CORINTHIANS 15:33

I Reflection on 1 Corinthians 15:33



"Bad company corrupts good character." 1 Corinthians 15:33


Who we surround ourselves with has a powerful influence on our lives. Whether we realize it or not, the people we spend time with shape our thoughts, our habits, and even our faith. This verse is a reminder that even if we have good intentions, the wrong influences can slowly lead us away from God’s truth.

Think of it like a fresh apple placed next to a rotten one. Over time, the decay from the bad apple spreads to the good one. In the same way, when we allow negative influences into our lives—whether through friendships, entertainment, or conversations—we risk compromising our values and faith.



How Can We Apply This Verse to Our Lives?


  1. Choose Your Friends Wisely – Surround yourself with people who encourage your faith, uplift you, and challenge you to grow spiritually. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
  2. Be Mindful of What You Consume – The music, movies, and social media we engage with also shape our hearts. Ask yourself: Does what I watch and listen to bring me closer to God or pull me away?
  3. Be a Light, But Set Boundaries – While we are called to love and reach out to others, we must also guard our hearts. If certain friendships consistently lead you into gossip, negativity, or sin, it may be time to step back and set healthy boundaries.
  4. Stay Rooted in God’s Word – The more time you spend with God, the easier it becomes to recognize and resist negative influences. Make it a habit to pray and seek His wisdom in choosing the right relationships.


Choosing godly influences doesn’t mean isolating ourselves from the world—it means being intentional about who and what shapes our hearts. Stay connected to people who encourage your walk with God, and strive to be that kind of person for others.



Short Prayer Of The Day 

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wisdom and guidance. Help me to surround myself with people who bring me closer to You. Give me discernment to recognize unhealthy influences and the strength to walk away when needed. Let my life reflect Your love and truth so that I may be a godly influence on others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Verse Of The Day - ISAIAH 43:16-19

A Reflection on Isaiah 43:16-19 Life often brings us to places where we feel trapped—situations that seem impossible, challenges that appear too great to overcome. In these moments, doubt can creep in, and we may wonder if there’s any way forward. But Isaiah 43:16-19 reminds us that God is a way-maker, a miracle-worker who specializes in doing the impossible. This passage begins by recalling God's mighty work in delivering Israel through the Red Sea. When the Israelites stood before the waters with the Egyptian army closing in behind them, they saw no escape. But God made a way where there was no way—He parted the sea, allowing them to cross on dry ground. Then, God shifts our focus:  “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”  (v. 18-19). While it’s important to remember God’s faithfulness in the past, He calls us to look forward. He is always at work, bringing fresh provision, new opportunities, and unexpected solutions. Even in the wi...

  Reflection on Psalm 46:7 This verse is a powerful reminder that God is always with us, no matter what we face. "The Lord of hosts" speaks of His power and authority over all things—He commands the heavens and the earth. Yet, despite His greatness, He is near to us, walking with us in our struggles. "The God of Jacob is our refuge" reminds us that the same God who guided, protected, and provided for Jacob is also our protector today. A refuge is a safe place, a shelter in times of trouble. When life feels overwhelming, when uncertainty creeps in, we can take comfort in knowing that God is our safe place, our unshakable foundation. Applying This Verse to Our Daily Life Trust in God's Presence  – No matter where we go or what challenges arise, we can move forward confidently, knowing that God is with us.

  Small Beginnings, Great Blessings – A Reflection on Job 8:7 "And though you started with little, you will end with much."  – Job 8:7 Life is full of seasons—times of abundance and times of scarcity, moments of joy and moments of struggle. Sometimes, we look at where we are and feel discouraged, wondering if our efforts will ever bear fruit. But Job 8:7 reminds us of God’s power to transform small beginnings into something great. God’s Promise of Growth This verse speaks to the nature of God’s blessings. He often starts with something small—whether it’s a seed of faith, a simple act of obedience, or a humble beginning. But in His perfect timing, He multiplies and increases what we place in His hands. Think of a tiny seed planted in the ground. At first, it seems insignificant, but with time, nourishment, and care, it grows into a mighty tree. In the same way, God is working in your life, even when progress seems slow or invisible.
