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.

Lord, What Do You Want Me to Do?

-

Today's Word:

"And he said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’” – Acts 9:5 (NKJV)

Thoughts on Today's Word:

Saul, later known as Paul, was zealous in his persecution of Christians, thinking he was serving God. But on the road to Damascus, he encountered Jesus in a way that changed his life forever. His immediate response—“Who are You, Lord?”—reveals the beginning of his transformation.

Like Saul, we sometimes move forward in life with our own plans, thinking we are doing what’s right. Yet God may be calling us to stop and truly seek Him. When we surrender to Jesus and ask, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” He will guide us into His purpose.

Are you resisting God's direction in any area of your life? Just as Saul’s resistance brought struggle, our stubbornness can make life harder than it needs to be. But when we yield to Christ, He leads us into a life of purpose and peace.

Prayer of the Day:

Lord Jesus, open my eyes to see You clearly. If I am resisting Your will, help me to surrender and trust Your plan for my life. Guide me in the path You have prepared, and give me the courage to walk in obedience. Amen.

Reflection:

What area of your life might you be resisting God’s direction? How can you respond with obedience today?

    I'm asking God to give me a work that has a fixed day off so I could have the time to have a small group that will lead me to a ministry that God wants me to do.

      That’s a beautiful desire, and I believe God sees your heart and will guide you in His perfect timing! Keep trusting Him, and He will open the right door for you—a job that not only meets your needs but also allows you to serve Him fully. Stay faithful, keep praying, and be expectant. God is working things out for you!

Walking in Obedience

-
Image
  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...
