Pro 3:11-12 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Today’s text invites us to lean close enough to hear love beneath correction. It does not shout; it reassures—do not…
Mat 7:13–14 (NKJV): “Enter by the narrow gate… because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” The crowd is loud, but conscience is quiet. Popular paths promise acceptance but often lead to compromise. God never called us to blend in; He called…
Mat 24:6 (NIV) “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” Jesus never promised a calm world; He promised a secure faith. He told us in advance that the earth would tremble with conflict,…
Neh 8:8 — “So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” God does not rush truth to distracted minds. Before transformation comes attention. Scripture shows that revelation is written so it can be looked at—examined carefully, not skimmed emotionally. Many…
Psa 116:1–2 (NLT) – “I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!” God does not respond to prayer from a distance; He responds with nearness. The psalmist says God “bends down to listen,” a…
Acts 16:26 “Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.” Paul and Silas were beaten, chained, and locked in the inner prison (Acts 16:22–24). To human eyes, it looked like defeat and delay. But what seemed…
Matthew 6:21 — “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Money has value, but it is never meant to define value. Scripture reminds us that what captures the heart ultimately controls the life. Wealth can provide options, comfort, and security for a moment, but it cannot anchor the soul. When Jesus…
Jer 17:7–8 (NKJV) – “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be…
Jer 30:17 (NKJV) “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord, “Because they called you an outcast saying: ‘This is Zion; no one seeks her.’” God gave this promise when Israel was broken, rejected, and humiliated. They were labeled outcasts, but heaven still called them chosen. When…
Prov. 4:23 — “Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.” (AMP) Today’s verse teaches that the heart is more than feelings—it includes thoughts, desires, and decisions. What enters our hearts shapes who we become. Many spiritual struggles start quietly…
