Teach Them to Trust God

Matthew 7:7, 11 AMPC

[7] Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

[11] If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!

Reflection

Trust and mistrust is a stage of development for each of us. We learn as small children if the world is a friendly place or a hard place based on the encounters we have in our environment, especially our parents and guardians. Unfortunately, any wrong perception is easily transferred to God and we wonder, can He be trusted?

We have an opportunity to get it right with the next generation, by showing them the true promises of our Father, Jehovah. We show them through our lives that His promises are YES and AMEN 🙏

Prayer

Lord, thank You for Your Word which is available to us everyday. Thank You because indeed, we can ask You for anything and You will do just as Your Word has promised. You did not withhold Your Only Son, what can You withhold from us? Thank You because our children don't need to run to the world, they have You and You are available and easy to reach. Blessed be Your name Lord as You help us to show our children Your goodness everyday.

In Jesus name, amen.

Shalom ☕🌼

A Higher Calling: Embracing Purpose

# Embracing Purpose: A Journey of Faith and Fulfillment You are not an accident! Every aspect of who I am is designed for a purpose. As Albert Einstein once said, "God doesn't play dice." God created me with intention, and only He can guide me to fulfill that purpose. I am alive today for a reason, and I seek to understand the role I am meant to play in the grand puzzle of life. Prayer Lord, I don't want to miss out on the plan You have for me and end up going in circles. Show me where I am stagnating and how I should break camp and advance forward. I believe that I have all that I need to accomplish what I was created for. You have packaged everything for my purpose within me, and I don't need to look for it elsewhere. Your love is focused on me, and You have made everything for my enjoyment. #Action Points: 1. Reflect and Pray: Spend time in prayer and reflection, asking God to reveal areas where you might be stagnating and seeking His guidance on h...

What is life?

How We Define Life Determines Our Destiny Anchor Scripture James 4:14 NKJV Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. What is life? I see life as a garden beaming with various elements, both valuable like fruits and vegetables and some not so valuable, like weeds and pests. Character is the seed planted in my garden. How I take care of it determines the fruit it will produce. The changes in the weather, the quality of soil, and even the frequency of rainfall play major roles in the growth or lack of growth in my character. Everything that happens in my garden is important. Any weed infestation will lower the quality of my yield, and how I respond to it will also affect the harvest. Every day is an important day in my garden; every second counts because growth happens behind the scenes. Every drop of water or fertilizer plays a significant role in the gar...

What Drives You?

What Drives You? Have you ever paused to ask yourself, “What drives me?” Why do you do what you do? Why is it important to you? Is it your personal choice to do it? Take a moment to reflect on these questions. Our past shapes us, but it doesn’t have to dictate our future. God is a God of second chances and even third chances. He hasn’t given up on us; He is still pursuing even the one sheep missing from the pen. As 2 Peter 3:9 (NLT) reminds us:  “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” Think about what truly motivates you. Is it a passion, a calling, or a sense of duty? Reflect on how God’s patience and grace have given you the opportunity to pursue your purpose. Embrace these second chances and move forward with renewed determination and faith. Action Point: This week, set aside some quiet time to journal about your motivations a...
