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.

Purity Begins in the Heart

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:

Our perception of the world is deeply influenced by the condition of our hearts. When our hearts are pure—surrendered to God and aligned with His truth—we see life through His lens of grace and goodness. However, when our hearts are clouded by sin, doubt, or unbelief, even the purest things can seem tainted.

Purity isn’t just about outward actions; it starts from within. Jesus taught that it is not what goes into a person that defiles them, but what comes from the heart (Mark 7:15). A heart transformed by Christ allows us to walk in faith, see the best in others, and live in a way that honors God. Today, let’s ask God to purify our hearts so that we may live with integrity, love, and faithfulness.

Prayer of the Day:

Heavenly Father, cleanse my heart and mind so that I may see life through Your eyes. Remove any thoughts or attitudes that corrupt my spirit and lead me away from You. Help me to walk in purity, faith, and love, so that my actions reflect Your goodness. May my life be a testimony of Your transforming power. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflection:

Are there areas in your life where your perspective has been clouded by negativity or doubt? Ask God to renew your mind and give you a pure heart, so you can see His hand at work in every situation.
