Bible Verse

Psalm 5:3
“In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly.”

Reflection
Every morning is a fresh start from God. Your first thoughts, your first words, your first direction — give them to Him.
When you begin your day in prayer, your mind becomes clearer, your heart becomes calmer, and your decisions become wiser.

No matter what happened yesterday, today God gives you new hope and new grace.

Simple Prayer
“Lord, thank You for this new day. Help me start and finish it in Your presence. Give me peace, strength, and wisdom for everything I need to do. I commit my family, my work, and my thoughts into Your hands. Amen.”

I Surrender

Scripture Reading — Romans 12:1

I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Surrendering to God is not just a one-time decision; each day we need to commit to aligning our will with God’s. This involves letting go of our desires, fears, and ambitions, and inviting God to guide and shape our lives according to his purpose. It requires humility and faith to surrender our plans and trust that God’s ways are higher and his love is unfailing.

When we surrender to God, we experience true freedom and peace. We release the burden of trying to control outcomes and instead embrace God’s sovereignty. Surrender opens the door for God to work miracles in our lives, transforming our weaknesses into strengths and our struggles into testimonies of his grace.

“THE PRAYER FOR TWO CUPS”

Lord, as I start this new day, I ask for two cups: one to give and one to keep. Grant me two cups of kindness, that I might be gracious to others, while also receiving grace. Give me two cups of patience, to pause before speaking or acting out of frustration. And may I also extend patience for my own shortcomings.

Lord, I ask for two cups of strength that I may work not only for my family and for my own needs, but that I may have strength yet to serve you and do your will.

Lord, please give me two cups of forgiveness that I may let go of bitterness and strife, and demonstrate an understanding heart towards others. Likewise, allow me the ability to forgive myself.

Today I pray for two cups…two cups of diligence and joy and love. And more than all the rest, Lord, please bless me with two cups of peace. May I give peace and be at peace.

Happiness in Being Cared For by God

Scripture Reading — Psalm 40:1-17

As for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.
Psalm 40:17

One of the most comforting truths for our lives is the providence of God. The Lord Almighty takes care of us. The same God who created us also sustains us. In this comfort we live and move and have our being.

God is the one who gives us breath and everything we need. God gives life to the seeds and plants we need for food. God gives us our daily bread and good health to enjoy. He even gives flavor to our food so that we can savor it. God is the one who preserves our life and delivers us from evil. The Lord God is our creator, provider, protector, redeemer, and comforter.

The apostle Paul asks, “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). Our life does not drift at random, at the mercy of mere circumstances. We are in the hands of the one who controls the universe.

How comforting it is to know that the God who rules the world is in control of our lives! It is a great assurance to troubled souls and burdened hearts to know that God cares for them. He is thinking about you right now and has not forgotten your pain and need. Knowing this, everyone who seeks the Lord can be filled with joy.

Sovereign Lord, thank you for your providence. From your hands we receive more than we need, that we may praise you and share with others. In Jesus, Amen.

Happiness in Being Created by God

Scripture Reading — Ephesians 2:1-10

We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10

Why are we here? What is our purpose for living here and now? Maybe you have asked or heard these questions before. These are philosophical questions that have kept some of the brightest people busy. Do you have an answer?

The Bible teaches that we are created by God and made in his image. “We are God’s handiwork,” and he sent Jesus to redeem and renew us so that we can have eternal life with him. God renews us so that we can do good, and this is our purpose in life. With the new life that God makes possible for us in Christ, we seek to live God’s way and to do good so that we can show others the way to know God.

We find true happiness in being created by God for an extraordinary purpose. We are not a piece of wood floating aimlessly through the ocean of life. We are not like a loose leaf carried by the wind. Life has a truly meaningful purpose. We are created by God to have full life with God and to shine the light of his love to others. God is the source and the destiny of our life.

The very meaning of eternal life is to know God and his Son, Jesus Christ, through the life-giving work of his Holy Spirit. There lies our greatest and most complete happiness.

What is the origin of life? What are we doing here? How will you help someone answer these questions?

Father God, our life only makes sense with you. Lord, guide us to live each day for the glory of your name. In Christ and by your Holy Spirit, Amen.

Obey the Governing Authorities
By George Koopmans — Friday, May 21, 2024

Scripture Reading — Romans 13:1-7

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.
Romans 13:1

I have never met a president or a prime minister. (I did see Queen Elizabeth II of England from a distance on two occasions, though!) As a regular citizen, I have little influence over the laws and policies of my country. My vote is just one among millions, and attending policy meetings does little to set the nation’s direction. This is true for immigration laws and policies as well as for most other laws. But just because I do not write my country’s laws and policies, I do not have the right to ignore them or to rebel against them. Even when I think the laws are horrible and destructive, I do not have the right to break them. Thankfully, however, in many countries like mine, people have the right to protest unfair policies. And if a government’s demand is in direct conflict with God’s commands, we must choose God’s way (Acts 5:29). Still, Jesus taught his followers to give to Caesar what was due him (Mark 12:17), even though Caesar may have used taxes for unethical purposes.

Even when we are disillusioned with our government and its policies, we cannot use that as an excuse to treat other people poorly. Whether we are pro-immigration or anti-immigration, for example, the God who told Israel to love the foreigner among them also calls us to do the same, loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Lord Jesus, help us to obey our governing authorities as you did, and to love all our neighbors as ourselves. For your sake, Amen.

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.
— Proverbs 16:9

Discerning God’s will calls for seeking God’s wisdom and aligning our hearts with his purposes. As we desire to make choices that honor the Lord, we can trust that he will guide our steps and direct our paths.

To discern God’s will, we must seek his wisdom through prayer and by meditating on his Word.

We invite God into the decision-making process, surrendering our desires and plans and opening our hearts to his leading.

God speaks to us through his Spirit, through the godly counsel of others, and through circumstances that align with his Word.

As we grow in our relationship with God, we become more attuned to his voice and more aware of what aligns with his will.

In times of decision making, let’s surrender our own understanding and submit to God’s perfect plan. May we rely on God’s wisdom rather than our own limited perspective.

As we trust in the Lord, we can have confidence that he will guide us along the way that leads to fulfillment and joy.

Wise and loving God, we seek your wisdom to discern your will. Help us to hear your voice. Give us courage to follow your leading. May your will prevail in every aspect of our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Trusting God
By Darrell Delaney — Sunday, April 14, 2024

Scripture Reading — Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

God invites us to trust in him, to surrender our worries, doubts, and fears into his capable hands. This involves a conscious choice to rely on God’s wisdom and guidance rather than leaning on our own limited understanding.

In a world filled with uncertainty, we can find solace in the unchanging character of God. The Lord is faithful, steadfast, and true. He will fulfill every promise he has made. When we place our trust in the Lord, we tap into the wellspring of his grace, strength, and peace.

Trusting God doesn’t mean that we will never face challenges or hardships. But it does mean that we can confidently face hard times, knowing that God is with us, working all things together for our good. We can rest in the assurance that God is in control and that his plans for us are perfect.

Trusting God requires humility—a recognition that his ways are higher than ours. It involves surrendering our need for control and embracing his divine wisdom and timing. As we submit our lives to the Lord, he directs our paths, leading us on a journey of purpose and fulfillment.

Let’s trust God with all our heart. In every circumstance, may we lean on his understanding and submit to his will. As we trust God, we experience his faithfulness, and our lives become a testimony to his goodness and grace.

Lord, guide us to trust in you completely. Help us to live faithfully for you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

DID YOU DOUBT?
APRIL 12, 2024

With Dr. David Jeremiah

Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?
Mark 4:40

Recommended Reading: Mark 4:35-41

Someone described daily life like having “a thick curtain hung across one’s path, a curtain that recedes before us as we advance, but only step by step. None of us can tell what is beyond that curtain; none of us can tell what events a single day or hour may bring into our lives.” This is what brings anxieties. Yet, “it is just as important to trust God as to obey Him.”1

When we worry about the future or remain anxious, we’re not trusting enough in Christ to care for us. He responds: “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” (Matthew 8:26) And “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:31)

The Lord is sovereign and eternal. His word cannot fail; His eyesight cannot dim; His love cannot fade. Trust Him completely to provide for His creation and to meet all your needs.

Ask the Lord for the ability to trust Him more.

When we fail to trust God, we doubt His sovereignty and question His goodness…. In order to trust God, we must always view our adverse circumstances through the eyes of faith, not of sense.
