  Keep Planting: Your Harvest is Coming "Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well."  — Ecclesiastes 11:6 (NIV) Have you ever poured your heart into something—prayed, worked, believed—and felt like nothing was happening? It’s easy to grow discouraged when results seem delayed or when we don’t see immediate fruit from our efforts. But Ecclesiastes 11:6 encourages us to keep planting, keep believing, and keep moving forward, even when we don’t yet see the harvest. Faithful Planting Leads to Fruitful Harvests Farmers don’t plant seeds and expect an instant harvest. They understand that growth takes time, requiring patience, care, and trust in the unseen process happening beneath the soil. The same is true in our lives. Whether we are sowing seeds of faith, love, kindness, generosity, or hard work, God is working behind the scenes. Even when we don’t s...

  God’s Reminder for Today “The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”  — Deuteronomy 31:8 Today, God wants to remind you that  you are not alone.  No matter how uncertain, overwhelming, or discouraging life may feel, He is already ahead of you, preparing the way. You may not see the full picture, but He does. He is working behind the scenes, aligning everything for your good.  There may be moments when fear creeps in, when doubts try to shake your faith, or when the weight of your worries feels too heavy to carry. But in those moments, remember this:  God’s presence surrounds you. His love upholds you. His strength is made perfect in your weakness. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. You don’t have to have all the answers. God is leading you, step by step, even when you can’t see the next one clearly. His plans for you are greater than your fears...

  The Lord’s Blessing and Protection Num 6:24 says,  “The LORD bless you and keep you.”  These words are part of the priestly blessing that God instructed Moses to give to the Israelites. It is a powerful reminder that God not only desires to bless His people but also to protect them. His love, favor, and guidance are always upon those who trust in Him. When we think about blessings, we often associate them with material things—success, wealth, or comfort. But God’s blessings go far beyond what we can see. His blessings include peace in our hearts, strength in times of trouble, wisdom in decision-making, and His presence in every situation. His promise to "keep" us means that He watches over us, shields us from harm, and preserves our lives according to His perfect plan. Life can be unpredictable, filled with challenges and uncertainties. But this verse reassures us that God is always with us. His hand is upon our lives, and His protection surrounds us. Whether we are fac...

  God Will Make Your Paths Straight – A Reflection on Proverbs 3:6 Life often feels like a winding road filled with unexpected turns, obstacles, and uncertainties. We make plans, set goals, and dream of the future, yet at times, we find ourselves lost, unsure of which direction to take. In these moments, Proverbs 3:6 offers a powerful reminder: "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." This verse teaches us a profound truth—when we surrender our plans to God, He leads us in the right direction. The key is not in figuring out every step ourselves, but in acknowledging Him in  all  we do. This means seeking His wisdom in decisions, trusting His timing, and allowing His will to shape our journey. Acknowledging God in All We Do To "acknowledge" God doesn’t just mean to recognize His existence—it means to invite Him into every aspect of our lives. It means turning to Him in prayer before making decisions, aligning our choices with His Word...

  Morning Prayer Before Starting the Day Heavenly Father, Thank You for the precious gift of life and for allowing me to see this new day. As I open my eyes and step into the morning, I acknowledge that every breath I take is a blessing from You. I surrender this day into Your hands, trusting that You have already gone before me to prepare the way. Lord, fill my heart with Your peace, my mind with Your wisdom, and my spirit with Your strength. Whatever challenges I may face today, remind me that I am never alone—You are my refuge, my protector, and my guide. Help me to walk in faith, not fear; in love, not frustration; and in patience, not haste. Let my words be filled with kindness and truth. May my actions reflect Your grace, and may my thoughts remain pure and focused on what is good. Teach me to love as You love, to serve as Jesus served, and to trust You in all things, big or small. Father, I ask for Your protection over my loved ones. Keep them safe, surround them with Your p...

  Reflection on Isaiah 30:18 – Trusting God's Timing Isaiah 30:18 says,  “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” Waiting is one of the hardest things we experience in life. We live in a world that values instant results—quick answers, immediate success, and fast solutions. But God’s ways are different. Sometimes, He calls us to wait, not because He is withholding blessings from us, but because He is preparing something greater than we can imagine. This verse reminds us of an important truth: God longs to be gracious to us. He is not indifferent to our struggles, nor is He ignoring our prayers. Instead, He is working behind the scenes, aligning things according to His perfect plan. The waiting period is not a time of abandonment—it is a time of preparation, growth, and deepening faith. When we are in a season of waiting—whether for a breakthrough, a job, a r...

My Beloved Be still, and know that I am God."  – Psalm 46:10 Today is a new day, a fresh start, and a moment to rest in My presence. I see how hard you’ve been trying, how much you’ve been carrying, and how tired your heart feels at times. I know the burdens you don’t talk about, the prayers you’ve whispered in the quiet, and the hopes you’re afraid to speak out loud. But I want you to know— I am with you. You don’t have to do this alone. You don’t have to figure everything out. I am your provider, your protector, and your peace.  When you feel weak, lean on Me. When you feel lost, trust that I am guiding you. When you feel weary, rest in My love. This Sunday, let go of the pressure to have it all together. Come to Me, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). Let this be a day to recharge your soul, to find joy in My presence, and to be reminded that  I am in control.  The things that worry you are already in My hands. The doors you’re waiting for will open in My pe...
