WORD FOR TODAY
The touch of His hand
Tuesday 26th May 2026

“The one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.” Daniel 10:18 NKJV
In her book A Slow and Certain Light, Elisabeth Elliott wrote: “When I lived in the Forest of Ecuador, I usually travelled on foot…Trails often led through streams and rivers which we had to wade, but sometimes there was a log high above the water which we had to cross. I dreaded those logs and was always tempted to take the steep, hard way down into the ravine and up the other side. But the Indians would say, ‘Just walk across, senorita,’ and over they would go, light-footed and confident.

I was barefoot as they were, but it was not enough. On the log, I couldn’t keep from looking down at the river below. I feared I would slip. I had never been any good at balancing myself…so my guide would stretch out a hand, and the touch of it was all I needed. I stopped worrying about slipping. I stopped looking down at the river or even the log and looked at the guide, who held my hand with only the slightest touch. When I reached the other side, I realised that if I had slipped, he would have held me. His being there, and his touch, were all I needed.” That’s all you need too: to experience God’s presence and feel His touch. Daniel wrote: “The one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said…‘Beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!’ So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, ‘Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me’” (vv. 18-19 NKJV).

Overcoming workaholism
Monday 25th May 2026

“Get some rest.” Mark 6:31 NIV
One of Satan’s tactics is to take us from one extreme to the other—from laziness to workaholism. Understanding the difference between being a hard worker versus a workaholic is key. Hard workers have the wisdom to set limits on how much they will do in the course of a day.

In her book 30 Days to a Stronger, More Confident You, Deborah Smith Pegues wrote: “I was in denial about my propensity toward workaholism until I realised that I had too many of the telltale symptoms: I worked late the majority of the time. Most of my conversations revolved around the issues at the office. I rarely took lunch breaks. I was always multitasking; I rarely performed any task single-mindedly. If I talked on the phone, I would also use the time to tidy the house. If I watched television, I also organised papers, and on and on it went. When I tried relaxing, I would think of all the things I should be doing. My to-do list had more items on it than I could possibly achieve during a single day. I was a slave to my overcommitted calendar; I left little or no downtime. Everybody seemed to move too slowly. I was always rushing to the next appointment. I looked forward to the accolades I received for performing well. I found little time to nurture my friendships…Today, I try to engage only in those activities I feel are part of God’s plan for my life.” What great advice! Jesus said to His hard-working disciples: “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Is the Lord saying the same thing to you?

WORD FOR TODAY
God is “at work in you”
Sunday 24th May 2026

“God…works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill is good purpose.” Philippians 2:13 NIV
God is at work “in you.” What is He working on? Your “will.” What does He want you to do? “Act according to His good purpose.” How does He accomplish this? Through your mind: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5 NKJV).

God can speak to you audibly, through circumstances, or through another person. But because God can give you His thoughts or guide your thoughts, your mind is the meeting room where He will most often communicate with you. That’s why Satan will try to place evil thoughts in your mind. If he cannot succeed, he will try to fill your mind with fear and worry. If that doesn’t work, he’ll settle for having you watch hours of “worthless things” on television or the Internet. The Psalmist prayed: “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things” (Psalm 119:37 NKJV). To hear from God and recognise what He’s saying to you, you must make your mind a protected environment. And one more thing: Your desire to hear from God must take precedence over every other desire you have. Social reformer Dorothy Day, who did much work on behalf of the poor in the twentieth century, spoke of what she called her “notions”—ideas that had the unmistakable stamp of God’s authorship in her mind. George Fox and the Quaker tradition called them “concerns.” Others speak of “promptings” or “leadings.” The good news is if you truly want to hear from God, and you’re willing to prioritise your life accordingly, He’ll speak to you.

WORD FOR TODAY
He’s the God of new beginnings
Saturday 23rd May 2026

“Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them.” James 5:20 NIV
Our God is the God of new beginnings! The Bible says: “Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.” It is never too late for a new beginning. And what’s even more remarkable is that God uses people like us to help others find a new beginning.

The Bible contains many accounts of men and women who got a second chance and, by God’s grace, used it well. Like Peter, who denied Jesus but went on to become a leader in the New Testament church. Or David, who committed adultery and murder, yet his psalms are a major part of one of the most quoted books in the Bible. And what about Jonah? He got a do-over! “The word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time” (Jonah 3:1 NKJV). Sin can wreck hearts, homes, plans, and people. But the good news of the gospel is that sin can never keep God from loving or reaching for us. And we should never stop loving and reaching for others. “If a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness” (Galatians 6:1 NKJV). The Greek word for restore is a medical term that means “to set a broken bone.” When a doctor resets a broken bone, he realigns it and then puts it in a cast for about six weeks. During that time, God does the actual healing. Your job is to find broken people who need a second chance and help to restore them.

WORD FOR TODAY
Know who you are
Friday 22nd May 2026

“By the grace of God I am what I am.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV
Who are you? It seems like a simple question but is often one of the most challenging to answer. To know who you are and what you stand for, to be aware of how you’re perceived by others and how you present yourself to the world, is one of the most important aspects of a well-lived life. This could be called your “personal brand.”

Your brand consists of attributes that are present for every encounter you have with work colleagues, family, or friends. You could call them “deliverables,” virtues you bring to all your social and business interactions. You may take your deliverables for granted but consider writing down your own personal mission statement. What is your purpose? What are you about? What is your vision? Does your life truly reflect what’s important to you and how you want others to see you? So often, we live our lives based on what those around us think we should be or do. We follow the path we’ve seen others take, or we pursue what the media defines as success. Eventually, and sometimes surprisingly, we may find ourselves frustrated, angry, and disappointed in life. Have you ever heard business professionals lament about climbing to the top of the corporate ladder, only to find that it was leaning against the wrong building? They were so busy keeping up with what they thought they were supposed to be doing that they never stopped to ask themselves what they actually wanted to do. Be like Paul: Know who you are, honour your personal brand, and say, “By the grace of God, I am what I am.”

WORD FOR TODAY
You have full forgiveness
Thursday 21st May 2026

“The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 NKJV
How many times must the apostle Paul, who was once known as Saul the persecutor of Christians, have had flashbacks to Stephen’s stoning? Or the countless other Christians he hunted down like animals? Paul was an eyewitness, which means those snapshots were sealed into his visual cortex. When he closed his eyes, those images could have haunted him for the rest of his life. By today’s standards, Saul would be seen as a violent persecutor. But he had an encounter with Christ that blinded him.

He regained his physical sight after three days, but the grace of God enabled him to turn a blind eye to his forgiven sin forever. If God turns a blind eye to confessed sin, shouldn’t we? That doesn’t mean we deny our sin or ignore it. If you underestimate your sinfulness, you depreciate the grace of God. Paul called himself the chief of sinners (see 1 Timothy 1:15). Perhaps that’s why he appreciated the grace of God so much. The reason many of us label others by their sin is because it makes us feel better about ourselves. We think: “I may not be perfect, but at least I haven’t done that!” But Paul was explicit: “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). God doesn’t grade your sins like the legal system, as misdemeanours and felonies. No, you are either in sin or in Christ. You’re either guilty or you are fully forgiven. Not only have your sins—past, present, and future—been atoned for, but at the point of believing faith, God forgave you and credited your account with the righteousness of Christ.

WORD FOR TODAY
“Overnight success” usually takes many years
Wednesday 20th May 2026

“Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:24 NKJV
Country-music star Randy Travis and his manager, Lib, remember the lean days of his career—all 3,650 of them. For ten years, Lib did whatever it took to keep her club open long enough for somebody to discover Travis’s talent. For his part, Randy sang his heart out. And when he wasn’t singing, he was frying catfish and washing dishes in the kitchen.

Then it happened. His break came, and everything seemed to click for him. He had a hit called “On the Other Hand,” an album contract, a tour offer, and a movie deal. He was hot! Suddenly, everyone seemed to be calling him an overnight success. But Randy recalls it differently: “We were turned down more than once by every record label in Nashville. But I’m the kind of one to believe that if you work at something long enough, and keep believing, sooner or later it will happen.” Randy Travis went on to become an American music legend, winning three Grammies and seven Dove Awards and being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. But it didn’t come easily or happen overnight. It happened because he worked hard, remained faithful through the tough times, and trusted God to come through for him. Jesus said: “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” And here’s something you need to keep in mind: It will happen in God’s time, and on His schedule. Your part is to keep walking by faith and trusting Him to bring it to pass.

WORD FOR TODAY
Are you washing your nets?
Tuesday 19th May 2026

“He noticed two empty boats standing at the water’s edge while the fishermen washed their nets.” Luke 5:2 TLB
Why would fishermen wash nets that hadn’t been used? The answer is they were quitting because of an overnight problem. “We have fished all night and caught nothing” (see v. 5). Their expectations had been destroyed. They believed that the way things were was the way they’d be. They were beaten!

That’s when Jesus showed up. He came to where they were; He walked right into the middle of their disappointment with a solution. First, He asked them for their boat and used it to preach to the crowd and heal the multitudes. Child of God, turn everything over to Him—all you have, all you are, and all you’ll ever be—and let Him use you for His highest purposes. Next, He gave them a word that only faith could receive: “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught” (Luke 5:4 KJV). Can you see now why He has to wait until you’ve done everything you know to do? Only then are you ready to listen; even though His Word doesn’t seem to make sense, you’re ready to obey without question. Are you discouraged today? Is it your ministry, your marriage, your job, or your health? You may be washing your nets, but it’s not over. Who told you God wasn’t going to bless you again? Who told you He wasn’t going to bring victory out of your ashes? It’s not over until He says it’s over. If He can fill empty nets for those discouraged disciples, then you don’t have a problem He can’t take care of.

WORD FOR TODAY
The worst failure…is failure to try
Monday 18th May 2026

“Be strong and of good courage…for the Lord your God is with you.” Joshua 1:9 NKJV
It’s impossible to live successfully without taking risks. Leo Buscaglia wrote: “To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement…To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk being called naïve. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing…Only the person who risks is truly free.”

Franklin Roosevelt spent much of his life battling illness and was confined to a wheelchair. Yet he became one of America’s greatest presidents. He said: “It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.” In The Pursuit of Excellence, Ted W. Engstrom gives this advice about the importance of trying: “Starting today, you can begin to enjoy using and developing your gifts…If you’ve always wanted to write, then write something, a short article, a poem, an account of your vacation. Write it as if you were going to be published; then submit it somewhere. If you’re a photographer, gather your best pictures together and submit them as entries in a contest. If you think you’re a fair tennis player or golfer, enter some tournaments and see how you do. You may not win the top prize but think how much you’ll learn and experience just by trying. The worst failure…is failure to try!”

WORD FOR TODAY
The way up is down
Sunday 17th May 2026

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” 1 Peter 5:6 NIV
God will not tolerate pride from anyone. If self-exalted ones refuse to humble themselves, they leave God no other choice than to do it for them. One day, pride got the better of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon: “As he looked out across the city, he said, ‘Look at this great city of Babylon! By my own mighty power, I have built this beautiful city as my royal residence to display my majestic splendour” (Daniel 4:30 NLT).

That was raw, unvarnished, arrogant pride. A year earlier, Daniel had told the king through the interpretation of his dream that he should change his ways. But he had ignored Daniel’s warning. Now God said enough was enough and interrupted his proud moment: “While these words were still in his mouth, a voice called down from heaven, ‘O King Nebuchadnezzar, this message is for you! You are no longer the ruler of this kingdom’” (Daniel 4:31 NLT). During the next seven years, Nebuchadnezzar lost his sanity and was reduced to the status of an animal in the forests. That’s how low pride brought him! Someone once said, “A man wrapped up in himself makes a pretty small package.” Only when Nebuchadnezzar humbled himself did God have mercy on him and give him back his sanity and his reign. That’s when he declared God’s sovereignty over all kings and kingdoms: “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honour the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud” (Daniel 4:37 NLT). So be humble!

Live like you believe it! (2)
Saturday 16th May 2026

“He did not waver at the promise of God.” Romans 4:20 NKJV
The Archbishop of Canterbury was acquainted with an actor named Mr. Butterton. One day he asked Butterton, “What is the reason you actors on stage can affect your congregations with the speaking of things imaginary, as if they were real, while we in church speak of things real, which our congregations only receive as if they were imaginary?”

Butterton replied, “We actors on stage speak of things imaginary as if they were real, and you in the pulpit speak of things real as if they were imaginary.” The world needs Christians who speak like they believe what God said in His Word is true, and who live accordingly. When Abraham was eighty, God promised him he would father a son. Twenty years later, it hadn’t happened, but Abraham was standing firmly on God’s Word: “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform” (vv. 20-21 NKJV). William James, the first educator to offer a course in psychology, said, “If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.” He also said, “Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” Saint Augustine said, “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” If you fully grasp the truth of this, it’ll set you free from fear because that’s what God’s perfect love does (see 1 John 4:18). God can’t love you any more or any less because He already loves you unconditionally, eternally. You just need to live like His beloved.
