Seed of Encouragement

Dissatisfaction is a tool the enemy likes to use to shift our focus from what is to what’s not… from what we do have to what we don't have yet. Instead of being thankful and grateful for what God has already given us, we get caught up dwelling on desires that have yet to be fulfilled. How can we expect to receive more when we are not even thankful for what already is? We must not allow the dissatisfaction of the moment cause us to forget what God has already done for us or fail to give thanks for the abundant blessings we have in our lives.

We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt and without cost, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic. But now our soul (our strength) is dried up; there is nothing at all [in the way of food] to be seen but this manna. Numbers 11:5, 6

The Way of Revival
By Hernandes Dias Lopes

Wednesday, June 3, 2026

Scripture Reading — Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:1-10

“In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”
— Isaiah 40:3

The prophet Isaiah looks ahead, pointing to a prophet who would prepare the way for the coming Messiah. John the Baptist was that prophet, and the Messiah was Jesus Christ.

John presented the Messiah, Jesus, as the true light that comes into the world and enlightens every person. John also said of Jesus, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). John came baptizing with water, and he presented Jesus as someone greater than himself, who would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire. John did not feel worthy even to untie the straps of Jesus’ sandals. John lived by this principle: “[Jesus] must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30).

The church cannot produce revival; however, it is up to the church to prepare the way for the Lord so that he may transform lives. Revival is the work of God, and preparing for it is our responsibility. Revival is a supernatural work of God, and we need to make a way straight in the wilderness for our God. Our lives must be the unobstructed road by which the Lord reveals himself to the world.

In what ways have you been a path through which the Lord has revealed himself? Prepare the way of the Lord!

Lord Jesus, make us a people who prepare your way with humility and faith. Help us to become less so that you may become greater among us. Clear our hearts of every obstacle so that your light may shine through our lives. Amen.

GETTING OLDER
AND WISER

Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old.
Job 12:12

In a society that is often obsessed with youth, getting older can sometimes feel like a process of losing rather than gaining. We notice the physical changes—the graying hair, the slower pace, the aches where there used to be agility. It is easy to focus on what time has taken away, but the Bible offers a radically different perspective on aging. Scripture does not view old age as a decline into irrelevance, but as an ascent into greater understanding. Growing older is not just about the passing of years; it is about the accumulation of wisdom, a treasure that can only be gathered through the seasons of a life walked with God.

With age comes a unique clarity that youth simply cannot possess. You have lived long enough to see God’s faithfulness prove itself time and time again. You have survived storms that you once thought would drown you, and you have seen mountains move that you once thought were permanent obstacles. This history with God builds a deep, resilient trust. You worry less about the opinions of others because you are more secure in your identity in Christ. The urgent anxieties of yesterday are replaced by a steady peace, knowing that God is sovereign over every detail. This is the gift of wisdom—the ability to see life through the lens of eternity rather than the fleeting moment.

This season of life is rich with purpose. You are a carrier of stories and a keeper of lessons that the next generation desperately needs to hear. Your experience is a lantern for those who are just starting their journey in the dark. Do not withdraw or think your best days are behind you. Instead, embrace this time as a season of harvest, where you can pour out the wisdom God has poured into you.

Thought Of The Day
Your spiritual vitality does not have an expiration date; in fact, the righteous are promised to flourish and bear fruit even in old age, declarin

Seed of Encouragement

Grumbling and complaining magnifies the negative aspects of a situation and hinders the flow of good things in our lives. It may take some effort to establish new perspectives, new attitudes, new patterns of thinking and speaking... but, it will be well worth making the effort to overcome negativity. We have to be intentional with our efforts to develop an attitude of gratitude and a heart of thanksgiving… doing so opens the door for greater blessings.

Do everything without complaining and arguing, Philippians 2:14

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

The Comfort of Forgiveness
By Hernandes Dias Lopes

Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Scripture Reading — Isaiah 40:2; Ephesians 1:7-10

Proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for. . . .
Isaiah 40:2

God’s people had ignored his law and had closed their ears to the words of his prophets. As a consequence, the people were taken into captivity and exile. Because they would not listen to the voice of grace, they heard the crack of the whip of discipline.

But the same God who disciplines his people restores them by his mercy. God called Isaiah to speak tenderly and with assurance to his exiled people, proclaiming that their time of captivity was over and that their sins were forgiven. What a comforting message!

Because God loves his people, he disciplines them. And along with disciplining his people, God also forgives them. God forgives his people, and he also restores them.

There is no remedy for guilt except in God's forgiveness. No medicine can calm a heart tormented by guilt. No therapy can stifle the desperate cries of a conscience plagued with remorse for wrongdoing. Only God’s forgiveness can lift the heavy burden that crushes us.

Have you been forgiven by God? Do you enjoy the peace that “transcends all understanding” (Philippians 4:7)?

Now is the time of grace. If your heart weighs heavy with sin, now is the opportune time to turn to God in repentance and seek his forgiveness.

Lord God, speak to our hearts with your restoring mercy. Lift the weight of our guilt, forgive us, and lead us from discipline to renewal, bringing the peace that only you can give. In Jesus, Amen.

Seed of Encouragement

Faith comes by hearing. We have to move from just thinking faith, to speaking God’s promises out loud at all times and in every situation. What God has promised is already true in Jesus Christ. We must align our voice with His voice and speak in agreement with what God says. The unspoken promise remains a feeling, but the spoken promise starts building a foundation.

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬ ‭

I believed; therefore I have spoken. 2 Corinthians 4:13

Mornings with Jesus

WHEN IT'S TIME
TO CHANGE

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:19

Change is one of the few constants in life, yet it is often the very thing we resist the most. Whether it is a shift in our careers, a change in our family dynamics, or a move to a new location, transition can feel unsettling. We find comfort in the familiar, even if the familiar is no longer where we are meant to be. However, recognizing when it is time to change is a vital part of spiritual maturity. God often uses seasons of transition to move us from where we are to where He needs us to be for the next chapter of our purpose.

Embracing change requires a deep level of trust. It asks us to let go of the secure shoreline and step into the unknown waters of faith. It is natural to feel fear or hesitation when the path ahead is not clearly marked, but we must remember who is leading us. God does not call us to change simply to disrupt our comfort; He calls us to change to facilitate our growth. Just as a seed must change to become a flower, we must be willing to undergo transformation to reach our full potential in Christ.

When you feel the gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit indicating that a season is ending, do not cling tightly to the past. Instead, open your hands and heart to receive the new thing God is doing. He is the God of new beginnings, capable of making a way in the wilderness where there seems to be no path. Trust that His timing is perfect and His plans for you are good.

Thought Of The Day
Step forward with courage and anticipation, knowing that the same God who walked with you yesterday is already preparing the way for your tomorrow.

Seed of Encouragement

God always gives us the grace to endure whatever season of life we are in. Instead of complaining and stressing, see things from the lesson and blessing perspective. Embrace God's grace and know that He is equipping you to handle what is before you and strengthening you while you are in it. Rejoice in The Lord ALWAYS and Trust in HIS plans!!! God is always at work on our behalf... always working in us and through us… always working things together for our good.

Each time he said, "My grace is ALL you need. My power works BEST in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Heavenly Thoughts
By Kent Van Til

Sunday, May 31, 2026

Scripture Reading — Matthew 5:21-48

“You have heard that it was said. . . . But I tell you. . . .”
Matthew 5:21-22

In this passage from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, our Lord cites several references from the Old Testament Law, such as “Do not murder,” “Do not commit adultery,” and so on. Then he adds his own divine wisdom on the deeper meanings of those laws, insisting that even our thoughts and motives are subject to the Law’s commands. So if we think about killing someone, or committing adultery, or any other sin, we have actually committed that sin. Ouch!

Jesus’ main message here is about life in the kingdom of God. He shows us that kingdom living goes beyond simply following God’s law. In the kingdom of God, even our thoughts must be pure, good, and truthful.

Now, if we are saved in Christ, our sinful thoughts certainly won’t change that. Similarly in some ways, we can say that people do not go to prison for thinking of murder. So does it really matter if we revel in sinful thinking?

It does matter. We are saved so that we will become more fitting, effective agents in God’s kingdom. When our thoughts align with Christ’s, we gain power and understanding into the ways of God. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, more and more of our mind can become like the mind of Christ. And if our mind is like Christ’s, we will share in his compassion, confidence, hope, and power.

Let the mind of Christ grow effectively in you.

Lord Jesus, make us effective servants in your kingdom. May even our thoughts and desires be worthy of you. Amen.

The God of This Age
By Kent Van Til

Saturday, May 30, 2026

Scripture Reading — 2 Corinthians 4:1-6

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ. . . .
2 Corinthians 4:4

In this passage Paul speaks of people’s minds being blinded by “the god of this age.” This is a reference to Satan, the devil, who is still very active in our world today.

Has the god of this age, the devil, blinded you? I think an honest answer would be that although we can see the gift of the gospel, we can certainly be blinded by the devil’s distractions and attractions today.

For example, how about constant and malicious online stories about political opponents?

How about p**n? Looking at it may make you feel virile and powerful—for a short time. But it is not reality, and it is not God’s will for our sexuality.

How about scrolling through your favorite social media hour after hour? Too often we see only one side of the story in increasingly demeaning ways.

How about false religion like the prosperity gospel, claiming God will make you wealthy if you just follow its teaching?

How about “action movies,” in which people are killed or tortured in gruesome ways for entertainment?

The god of this age is present in so many ways today, making all of these things seem normal and desirable. Most of these influences, and more, are also just updated versions of what people faced in Paul’s day.

Give your mind a break. Let the true gospel enlighten you.

Dear God, so many influences today are used by the devil to lead us astray. Help us to reject the evil they present as if it were normal. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
