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.

A Pure Heart, A Clear Vision

Today's Word:

"To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted." — Titus 1:15 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Word:

This verse highlights how the condition of our hearts and minds shapes how we perceive the world around us. A heart aligned with God sees purity and goodness, even in difficult circumstances. In contrast, a heart clouded by sin and unbelief finds fault, negativity, and corruption everywhere.

The purity Paul speaks of isn’t about being perfect but having a sincere relationship with God. It is about allowing His Word to cleanse our hearts and minds, transforming how we think, speak, and act. When we let God renew us daily, we gain a clearer vision of His purpose, allowing us to reflect His grace and truth to others.

Prayer of the Day:

Heavenly Father, cleanse my heart and mind so that I may see the world through the lens of Your purity. Guard me against negativity and corruption, and help me focus on what is true, noble, and good. Transform my thoughts and actions so they align with Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection:

What steps can you take to guard your heart and mind against negativity or corruption? How can you align your thoughts with God’s truth today?
