Recognizing God's Purpose

Today's Word "So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, 'You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!'" — Genesis 42:8-9 (NKJV) Thoughts on Today's Word  Joseph’s journey from being betrayed by his brothers to becoming a ruler in Egypt was filled with hardship, yet God’s purpose was being fulfilled. When Joseph saw his brothers, he remembered the dreams God had given him years earlier. At that moment, he realized that everything—his suffering, separation, and rise to power—was all part of God's divine plan. Often, we go through trials without understanding why. Like Joseph, we may feel forgotten or unfairly treated. But in time, God’s purpose is revealed. What once seemed like pain can become a stepping stone to a greater calling. Today, trust that even in difficulties, God is working behind the scenes for your good. Prayer of the...

Pour the oil

-

 


Today's Scripture:

They brought the jars to the widow and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

(2 Kings 4:5–6, NIV)

Today's Word:

In 2 Kings 4, things were so bad for this poor widow that creditors were coming to take her two sons as payment for her bills. When the prophet Elisha told her to get as many jars as possible and pour her little remaining oil in them, it didn’t make sense. But when she obeyed, the miracle happened and the oil kept flowing till every jar was full. She sold the oil, paid the creditors, and had plenty left over to live on.

Has God put a promise in your heart, but it hasn’t made sense? Perhaps the medical report hasn’t changed or your business hasn’t improved, and you can’t see how it can happen. Don’t talk yourself out of what you know God is telling you to do. If you obey, the miracle will follow. Don’t miss your miracle trying to reason it out. Faith makes provision for the miracle by being faithful and by believing when you don’t see any sign of it. God is going to show out in your life as you pour the oil.

A Prayer for Today:

“Father, thank You that You are the true and living God, and You reward those who honor and obey You. Thank You that my obedience can never earn Your blessing, but it can lead to it. I believe that as I am doing the right thing You will reward me with favor. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Walking in Obedience

  Today's Word: "If only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today."— Deuteronomy 15:5 (NIV) Thoughts on Today's Word: Today’s verse reminds us that obedience to God is not only about following rules; it is a heart-centered alignment with His will. God doesn’t just desire our obedience; He longs for a relationship where we trust His wisdom above our own. He promises to bless and guide us when we choose to follow His path. Just as a parent lovingly guides their children, God’s instructions are meant to lead us toward growth, peace, and abundant life. Reflecting on His words daily strengthens our trust and molds us into who He calls us to be. May we choose each day to follow Him faithfully, knowing His plans are for our good. Prayer of the Day: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wisdom and guidance. Help me to walk in obedience, trusting that Your commands are for my good. Give me the strength to follow Your way...

The God Who Sees and Defends

Today's Word: "If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and He rebuked you last night." — Genesis 31:42 (NIV) Thoughts on Today's Word: Jacob's words remind us that God is always watching over His children. Though Jacob faced mistreatment and injustice, God saw his struggles and defended him. Sometimes in life, we feel unseen and unappreciated, especially when our hard work goes unnoticed. But just like God saw Jacob's hardships, He sees yours too. God is not indifferent to your pain. He is your defender, working behind the scenes to protect, provide, and vindicate you at the right time. Prayer of the Day: Heavenly Father, thank You for being the God who sees me. When I feel overlooked or mistreated, remind me that You are my defender. Help me trust that You are working in my life, even when I cannot see it...
