Day 438 – Luke 12:7
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12: 7, NIV God knows your every detail. He is aware of the things that are going on in your life. He knows what bothers you. So surrender all your worries to Him, and don’t be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows. If God took good care of the animals and plants around you, then He will certainly take good care of you. If you feel threatened by what others are saying, then always remember this verse. God will protect and strengthen you. He treats you as…

Day 347 -Luke 11:28
He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” Luke 11:28, NIV The word of God exists not just to strengthen and comfort us, but it can also lead us to the path that He created. It means nothing if we will just keep it inside. We are meant to obey and apply them in our lives. There may be times when we find it challenging to follow Him, but keep in mind that He knows what’s best for us. Let’s focus on His will and not on our own desires. Things may not always be that perfect, but God’s word is always there…

When you feel like God is not There
There is a certain season in life when you just can’t help but feel like you are alone. You can’t see the blessings around you, and it seems like God doesn’t exist. When you experience that moment, always put this gentle reminder in your heart: God is there, and He never leaves your side. You can’t see and feel His hands because your senses are focused on other things. Maybe your heart is too occupied by your fears, or perhaps, you are always thinking about your problems. Just be patient with the season that you are in, and don’t treat it as your enemy. Sometimes, you will go through moments…

God has no limit to how He can bless your life
God will bless you. He can reveal things in your life that can change how you look and handle yourself and others. You may ask Him about the things that you want and the things that your heart hungers. What you deeply desire is what will be given. He will show you favor in every journey of your life. But not all that He is doing will make sense at first. Sometimes, He will not wrap gifts in fancy papers but in the form of problems and sadness. Not all gifts can be seen because natural treasures are hidden and nourished within you. So, do not just limit your perspective…

Day 430 – Luke 9:24
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. Luke 9:24, NIV Don’t just think of your desires, or else you will lose your life. When we are too focused on things that will satisfy us, we will find our lives meaningless. True life is found in the arms of Jesus. It’s in His presence that we will discover our true identity. So when you choose to walk away from His plans, then you will end up in destruction. Surrender your life to Jesus. Choose to suffer for His glory. And only then will you discover what it means…

Jesus wants us to Carry our Cross and Follow Him
It’s not going to be that easy. Many people think that when you receive Jesus as your king and savior, your life will be full of happy memories. You will no longer face problems, and you will experience joy every single day. Yes, this may be true when we go to heaven, but as long as we are living here on earth, we will still experience moments of brokenness and pain. There will be times when we need to carry our cross. It means that we will face burdens that are heavy for us to handle. Things won’t be that smooth because Jesus knows that following Him is like going…

The Only One who Witnessed the Whole Process
We sometimes strive to make things perfect for the sake of those people who never really care for us. We change the way we dress, aim for greater goals and work hard to earn more so that we can make others proud of us. But at the end of the day, pleasing them can never make us truly happy. That’s because we are not wired to please everybody. We are created to glorify the only audience who witnessed the whole process. From the time you are born and up to this moment, God is there watching over you. He is the only One that you should adore and not those…

As long as God is with you, Enemies don’t have Power against you
Stay in God’s presence. This world has a lot to offer for your own entertainment and happiness, but not all of them will do you good in the long run. Enemies are not just those who can talk back at you; they looked harmless at first. They will not affect you directly. But they will accumulate and come back to you more assertively, making you defenseless if you are not careful enough. However, the one living in you is stronger than your enemies. That is, stay close to God. Consciously involve Him in everything that you do. Plan with Him and always ask for His wisdom. Fill your mind with…

Day 421 – Luke 8:12
Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Luke 8:12, NIV The enemy can easily take away the word of God in your heart. He can destroy the way you see things and make you believe in His lies. So if you want to stay rooted in His presence, then keep His words and don’t stop praying. Shield His promises with prayers. Rely on God’s power and not on your own efforts and strengths. Call upon His name and let Him give you the wisdom that you…

Sometimes, God will ask you to do Things that you Think you Hate
Our journey with God won’t always be smooth and perfect. Sometimes, we need to go through the seasons that we badly hate. We need to do things that we don’t want to do. But for the sake of God, we will be pushed to take steps outside our comfort zone. It takes faith and humility to finish the journey. And it’s not that God wants to punish us. There are just things in life that we can only learn in the wilderness. So if you think that God is pushing you to your limits, then it simply means that He prepared a growth journey that will surely take you to…
