This morning’s verses speak of His test. What are we being tested in? He may be testing us in the area of love. Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the devil, to go through the tests before His public ministry. (See Luke 4:1-13) We may be tempted to keep the record of wrongs, not believing in the good motives of others, which would stir up anger and bitterness in our hearts. The devil may be working through someone who is cooperating with the devil to release hi

This morning’s verse talks about leading the vulnerable, the weak, and the ignorant. We have a very important and responsible role when it comes to leading those who are in darkness, lacking wisdom, to make their way in life. I believe this is one of the reasons why preparation, even to preach the Gospel, is necessary. (See 2 Timothy 4:2) Today, let us continue to grow in Christ and be prepared to lead those who are in darkness. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning’s verse talks about warning against greed. Are we satisfied with what the Lord has entrusted us with? We may be comparing ourselves with what others are doing or where they are at in their life stages, thinking that they are far ahead of us, and wishing we had what they have. Or we may be frustrated with where we are at right now, trying to move on with life in our own strength, only to crash and burn. But if we choose to be content with where the Lord is leading

This morning’s verses talk about trials, preparation, and transition. The offender in today’s Scriptures committed sin, and Jesus became sin on our behalf so that we can be made righteous. Jesus went through trials, preparation, and transition in the desert for 40 days as God and man. What is He teaching us in this season so that we can transition to the new season He has prepared for us, doing a new thing? (See Matthew 4:1-11) Are we ready to take on the hardship in the nex

This morning’s verses talk about being prepared to be at the right place at the right time. From today’s Scriptures, it seems that some of the soldiers were not ready to be out in the battle as they had other matters to be dealt with and fulfilled first before they could be out in the battle. What are the things we need to work on and fulfill today so that we can be prepared for the calling He has on our lives? Today, let us seek His guidance in terms of what He wants us to

This morning's verses talk about preparation before breaking through to the next season in life. Moses went up Mount Sinai, remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights, did not eat food or drink water, then the 10 commandments were given. Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days tempted by the devil but then proceeded to begin His public ministry. (Ref Luke 4) Wilderness experience is a preparation, a set up for the next season in life. Today, let us continue to pre

This morning's verses talk about the Israelis getting prepared to take on territories in the promised land. God prepares before He uses us mightily for His glory to advance the Kingdom of God. We may be impatient emotionally because we feel like we are not where the Lord wants us to be. But He prepares before He uses. He is preparing us now for bigger days ahead. It is important to remain faithful to what He has led us to do now. Careers that we are in right now may be the

This morning's verses talk about protection from the Lord to fulfill the God given destiny. Israelis were still on the east side of the Jordan river yet to cross into the promised land, and were protected by the Lord through victory against their enemies. Where are we in our walk with Christ? We may be in our God's place of calling and are ready to expand the footprint to occupy more territory to impact and influence more people, and He is with us to protect us so that we ca

This morning's verse talks about the Israelis moving from Hebron, which was closer to the promised land, to the wilderness of Paran,...
