Daily Soul Boost | When Silence Means Yes
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Num 30:9-19 (CSB) - If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow ... and her husband hears about it, says nothing to her, ... all her vows are binding, …

As Israel journeyed with God, He gave instructions concerning vows and oaths. In this passage, God addresses situations where a woman made a vow while living in her father's or husband's household. If those responsible for her heard the vow and remained silent, their silence signified agreement, and the vow became binding. These laws highlighted the seriousness of words and commitments before God, as well as the responsibility people had toward one another within their relationships and communities.

This passage reminds us that there are times when silence can be interpreted as approval. While the specific regulations belonged to Israel’s covenant life, the principle remains relevant today. When we see someone moving toward something harmful, unwise, or contrary to God's ways, love calls us to speak with wisdom and grace. Faithfulness to God is not merely avoiding wrongdoing ourselves; it also involves caring enough to lovingly warn, encourage, correct, and guide those within our circle of influence. Speaking up is not about controlling others but about seeking their good and honouring God.

Let us pray: Lord, give us compassionate and discerning hearts. As Your Word guides us, help us use our voices wisely—not to push people around or dominate them, but to courageously speak truth in a spirit of care and love. Teach us to encourage, protect, and guide those You have placed in our lives. May our words be used for their good and for Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Shalom and love to everyone!

DAILY SOUL BOOST | Worship with Your Whole Trust
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

The Lord commanded Israel to gather in a holy convocation during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, commemorating His mighty deliverance of His people from slavery in Egypt. The feast began immediately after Passover, reminding each generation that God had rescued them by His grace and power. Their worship was not merely a recollection of a past event; it was a living acknowledgment that they belonged to the God who had redeemed them and faithfully sustained them throughout their journey.

This worship required trust. The sacrifices themselves were costly, involving valuable animals from their herds and flocks. Moreover, God commanded the people to cease from their ordinary work on the sacred days. For an agrarian society, stopping work meant foregoing productivity and income. Yet this act of worship expressed their confidence that God—not their labor—was the ultimate source of their provision and blessing. As they remembered the Passover and God’s faithfulness in the wilderness, they declared through their actions that their security rested in Him. Worship, therefore, was not only praise with their lips but trust demonstrated with their lives.

Let our praise and worship likewise be a response to who God is and to His faithful and gracious acts toward us. When we worship, we affirm that our hope is not in our achievements, resources, or abilities, but in the Lord who redeems, provides, and sustains. May our worship be marked by wholehearted trust, grateful remembrance, and joyful dependence upon Him. As we reflect on His goodness today, may our lives become a continual offering of love and devotion to our faithful God.

Shalom and love to everyone!

DAILY SOUL BOOST | God’s Choice
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

As Moses neared the end of his ministry, he was concerned for God’s people. He did not want Israel to be left without godly leadership, “like sheep that have no shepherd.” In response, God instructed Moses to appoint Joshua as his successor. This passage is not merely about a change of leadership; it reveals God’s heart for His people and His provision for their future. The God who called Moses would also choose and raise up the next leader to guide Israel into the Promised Land.

One description stands out in God’s choice of Joshua: he was “a man in whom is the Spirit.” Joshua had already demonstrated a heart that trusted and obeyed God. As one of the twelve spies, he believed God’s promise and trusted that the Lord could give Israel victory despite the giants in the land (Numbers 14). While others were ruled by fear, Joshua was ruled by faith. God’s choice was not based merely on ability, experience, or popularity, but on a life yielded to Him. God delights to use those whose hearts are fully His—those who trust Him, obey Him, and walk in dependence upon His Spirit.

As followers of Christ, we too are invited to respond to His great love, beauty, and majesty with wholehearted surrender. Being used by God begins with a heart that fully trusts Him in every area of life. The Holy Spirit is at work transforming us into the likeness of Christ, but a transformed life is also a life that God uses. As we yield ourselves to Him, the Spirit’s power flows through us to accomplish God’s purposes for His glory. May we be people whose lives reflect deep trust in God, ready and available for whatever He calls us to do.

Shalom and love to everyone!

DAILY SOUL BOOST | SEEING WELL

Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Before Balaam delivered his final oracle, he described himself in a remarkable way: “the one whose eye sees clearly,” “the one who hears the words of God,” and “the one who sees a vision from the Almighty”. While Balaam’s overall character was deeply flawed, this description captures what it means to receive revelation from God. He was not speaking from human wisdom or political calculation but from what God was showing him. In a moment when kings, nations, and armies were focused on earthly power, Balaam was invited to see reality from heaven’s perspective.

These qualities are worth desiring and cultivating. To hear God’s words, to see clearly, and to discern what He is doing are precious gifts. Throughout Scripture, God delights in revealing His heart and purposes to those who seek Him. Spiritual maturity is not merely gaining more information about God but developing a growing sensitivity to His voice and a clearer perception of His activity in the world. The ability to “see well” comes from a life that is attentive to God, humble before Him, and willing to receive His perspective rather than insisting on our own.

Today, let us pray for eyes that see and ears that hear. Let us remain deeply rooted in God’s Word, for it is the primary way He speaks and reveals His character. At the same time, let us walk in humility, recognizing that discernment requires dependence on the Holy Spirit. As we pray, study Scripture, and surrender our hearts to God, may He help us discern what He is saying and doing in our circumstances so that we may respond appropriately, faithfully, and in a manner that is pleasing before Him.

Shalom and love to everyone.

DAILY SOUL BOOST | BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE KING IS GOD
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Numbers 23:21 (ESV) - He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob, nor has he seen trouble in Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of a king is among them.

As Balaam continued responding to Balak’s attempts to persuade him to curse Israel, he repeatedly explained why he could not go against God’s will. Despite the potential rewards, honor, and personal gain that might come from obeying Balak, Balaam recognized that God’s purposes could not be overturned. In describing Israel, God’s covenant people, Balaam pointed to the blessings they enjoyed under God’s rule. They were a people protected from misfortune and sustained through trouble because the Lord was with them. More importantly, they were a people whose King was among them. Balaam saw that belonging to God and living under His reign was far greater than any earthly reward that Balak could offer.

It is essential for spiritual growth that we see God clearly for who He truly is and willingly submit to Him as the ruler and King of our lives. God alone deserves our worship, trust, and allegiance. There is no one better equipped to lead us, protect us, provide for us, and nurture us than our Creator. When we place ourselves under His loving rule, we begin to discover His wisdom, faithfulness, power, and goodness firsthand. As we walk with Him, our faith is strengthened by experience. What begins as belief gradually becomes conviction as we repeatedly encounter His presence and see His hand at work in our lives.

Let us pray that God would enable us to pursue Him for the rest of our lives through an intimate and interactive relationship with Him. May we seek Him daily through His Word, prayer, worship, and obedience so that we continually behold His beauty and glory. As our vision of God grows clearer, may worshiping Him and following Him become the most natural response of our hearts. Let our worship not be confined to Sundays alone, but expressed every day through faithful obedience, genuine love, and bold proclamation of who He is. May our lives reflect His glory to the world and invite others to come under the gracious reign of the true King.

Shalom and love to everyone.

DAILY SOUL BOOST | THE RELIABILITY OF GOD’S WORD
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

As Balaam responded to Balak’s request to curse Israel, he described God as He truly is—utterly trustworthy, faithful, and unchanging. Balaam understood that God’s words are completely reliable because God never lies and never speaks empty promises. What God declares, He accomplishes. What He promises, He fulfills. This understanding shaped Balaam’s response to Balak’s pressure and incentives. Because he recognized the trustworthiness of God’s character and the certainty of God’s word, he chose to prioritise God’s voice above every other voice and God’s commands above every other demand. For Balaam, obedience flowed from his conviction that God’s word could be trusted completely.

There is a direct correlation between how we value God’s word and how we live for Him. When we truly believe God and trust the truthfulness, beauty, and goodness of His word, we align our lives with what He says. Faith moves us beyond merely hearing God’s word to actually shaping our decisions, priorities, and direction around it. On the other hand, when we do not deeply trust God’s word, it becomes easy to ignore, set aside, or treat as optional. We then become vulnerable to being shaped by competing philosophies, cultural values, personal preferences, or worldly thinking. Ultimately, our obedience reveals what voice we trust the most.

Let us pray that God will open our eyes to see Him as He truly is. As we grow in our understanding of His glory, goodness, power, faithfulness, and love, may our hearts increasingly value both Him and His word. Let us ask God to make His word the guiding force and shaping influence of our lives. May our thoughts, desires, decisions, and actions be formed by His truth so that our maturity reflects His character and purposes. As we learn to trust and obey Him, may we experience the fullness of life He offers and discover that our deepest needs and core desires are ultimately satisfied in Him alone.

Shalom and love to everyone!

DAILY SOUL BOOST | SPEAKING ONLY WHAT GOD DESIRES
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Balak, the king of Moab, desperately wanted Balaam to curse the Israelites because he feared their growing strength. He had repeatedly sent messengers and offered rewards in an attempt to persuade Balaam to do his bidding. Yet when Balaam finally arrived, he made it clear that he was not free to say whatever he pleased. Despite Balak’s pressure and expectations, Balaam declared that he could only speak the words that God gave him. His responsibility was not to satisfy people but to faithfully communicate what the Lord desired.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are God’s representatives on earth. We live among people, many of whom have little or no understanding of who God is. While our words are not inspired Scripture, our conversations may be the first opportunity someone has to hear about God, encounter His truth, or become aware of His love and purposes. Therefore, we must be careful with our words, especially when speaking about God and His Word. We are not called to simply share our opinions or assumptions, but to faithfully communicate what God has revealed. When we are not grounded in Scripture and led by the Spirit, we risk saying things that misrepresent God’s character and intentions.

Let us pray that God will use us as His instruments to spread the knowledge of Him wherever we go. May our words and our lives reflect His glory so that others may encounter the living God through us. Let us devote ourselves to His Word so that our tongues are guarded from speaking things that are contrary to His truth. As ambassadors of Christ, shaped by the Holy Spirit and empowered by that same Spirit, may we faithfully bear witness to Jesus. May God use our lives to draw many people to become followers of Christ and participants in His kingdom.

Shalom and love to everyone!

DAILY SOUL BOOST | WHEN FRUSTRATION BLINDS US

Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Balaam was so consumed by his frustration that his donkey would not move in the direction he wanted that he failed to see what was really happening. Three times he struck the animal, not realizing that the donkey could see what he could not—an angel of the Lord standing in the way. Balaam’s focus on his own agenda blinded him to God’s intervention and protection. Only when the Lord opened his eyes did he finally understand the situation and recognize how close he had come to disaster.

This passage reminds us that when we become consumed by our own desires, plans, and expectations, we can become blind to God’s promptings and His voice. Without a heart of surrender, discernment quickly flies out the window. We may become frustrated when circumstances do not go our way, not realizing that God may be protecting us, redirecting us, or revealing something deeper within us. Surrender positions our hearts to see from God’s perspective rather than merely reacting from our own.

Take time today to surrender your desires, ambitions, frustrations, and disappointments to the Lord. Ask Him what your current circumstances reveal about your own heart and character. Invite Him to heal any area that needs transformation and show you what else needs to be placed under His lordship. As we pursue His voice, His purposes, and His direction above our own, we discover the inner fulfillment and peace for which we were created. We were designed to live for God, and true life is found in walking in step with Him.

Shalom and love to everyone.
