This morning’s verses speak of His forgiveness. Christ died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins out of His love for humanity because He is love (See 1 John 4:8). Love keeps no record of wrongs (See 1 Corinthians 13:5). Because His love flows to us and to others through us, this truth applies to both ourselves and to others who wronged us (See Philemon 1:6). Today, let us practice His love of forgiveness that leaves the past behind. What are we holding onto that include

This morning’s verses speak of our assignments from the Lord. What if what we wanted was not His plan for us to experience in our generations on this earth? For some of us, this may be a disappointment. But there is still hope because we can choose to experience His love and release His love towards others wherever we are. (See Romans 5:3-5) Love is what has eternal significance. (See 1 Corinthians 13:13) Our achievements on this earth that are visible are not to be taken to

This morning’s verses speak of the legacy of faith and life. How can our children or the next generation receive the faith that we have in Christ, Who is life? One of the ways to lead others is through our examples. (See 1 Timothy 4:12) Do the people around us see us fighting for Christ, (See 1 Timothy 6:12) Who is life, love? One of the reasons they are not may be because we have not chosen to fight for the right cause. Our motives may have been simply to gain success, resp

This morning’s verses speak of His justice. God is just. There are consequences to ungodly choices, and He repays them accordingly. We may have been busy thinking about how we can repay those who wronged us, but that is His matter. We are to keep no record of wrongs (See 1 Corinthians 13:5), leaving the past behind (See Philippians 3:13), and continue to fight to choose to release His love. (See 1 Timothy 6:12) Today, let us continue to choose love because the Lord is just.

This morning’s verses speak of His vengeance. We may have been wronged, treated terribly, but we can continue to consider our challenges in a positive light as an opportunity to grow in love. (See Romans 5:3-5, 1 Peter 1:6-7) Our growth in love has eternal implications. (1 Corinthians 13:13) We can fight the good fight of faith to love others. (See 1 Timothy 6:12) This, indeed, is one of the finest ways to experience His peace, which comes after love in Galatians 5:22. On the

This morning’s verses talk about the transition into new assignments. Moses and Joshua were called by the Lord to transition leadership and were told that the people they led would fall into ungodliness. Moses had to let go of his leadership after having fulfilled his assignment, and Joshua would lead the people into the promised land, fighting battles with people who would later fall into sin. Joshua may have wondered if it was worth the effort, and Moses may have wondered

This morning’s verse talks about marriage. How important is marriage to us? The Lord places marriage as a high priority in our lives. When we marry our spouse, we become one with our spouse. Our spouse becomes our closest neighbor for us to love. (See Matthew 22:39) Today, let us reflect on our marriage. Is the love of Jesus being revealed through us? And most importantly, to Jesus, Who is our Bridegroom, His love back to Him? (See John 3:29, 1 John 4:19) May the Lord conti

This morning's verses talk about the truth and the promise He has already given to us. Our role as believers is to take possession of what He has already given to us. The Lord wants us to take more territory of our souls. He wants us all to grow spiritually and others around us to know Him and grow accordingly. Today, let us seek His guidance in terms of how we can grow spiritually. Because we have received His love, we are to share with others what He has taught us. (Ref 1

This morning's verses talk about His love for us that is unconditional but still expects us to respond in faith to experience victory. The Lord loved Israel not because they were large in number who seemed qualified to be loved because they would be able to do what the Lord wanted them to do. They were in fact the fewest. However, the Lord still expected them to obey His commandments so that they could experience the victories that the Lord desired in the promised land. T
