Trust God Despite The Redirections You Experience In Life
Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. Acts 16:6-7, NIV Paul was in the middle of his mission when the Holy Spirit would prompt him not to enter certain places. Even though his intention was good, which was to preach the gospel, there were still instances when God would say ‘no’ to his request. This doesn’t mean that Paul did something wrong or God doesn’t want…

David Chose to Trust God
Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.” Psalm 16:1-2, NIV David asked God to preserve Him. Perhaps he went through a very difficult situation that threatened his safety and security. Maybe, David was in trouble. But despite what he felt, he still put his confidence in the Lord. He chose to trust him. A Christian commentator named John Trapp even said, “This was a most powerful plea, for to trust God is the highest honour we can do him, it is to set the crown upon…

Romans 10:13, NIV
For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13, NIV When you are in pain and broken, when you can’t feel the presence of God in the midst of the storm, then keep in mind that you can always call upon the name of the Lord. Come to Him when you are weary and sad. Seek Him when you can’t find the answers. Put Him first, especially when you are bombarded by so many unexpected situations. Trust God. Let Him be your “one call away” friend. And God will be there. He will redeem you. He will save you from pain. He will give…

Day 478 – John 1:48
“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” John 1: 48, NIV Nathanael wondered why Jesus knew him, and that’s when he realized that His Savior saw Him even before they met. You see, many times we think that nobody knows us. People try to throw so many judgments about who we are, yet they don’t have any clue about the things that we are facing. They act as if they know us by heart. But the truth is, only Jesus knew and saw everything that happened in our lives. He is aware of…

Sometimes, God will ask you to do things beyond your Ability and Strength

So if you are carrying a very big dream in your heart, then God wants you to walk along the journey with Him. He is inviting you to live a life full of faith and dependence. You will reach the dreams that He planted in your heart through His grace and guidance. You…

Day 423 – Luke 8:23
As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. Luke 8:23, NIV Jesus fell asleep in the middle of the storm. At that moment, He had just finished ministering to the people, and He took some time to rest. While He was having His nap, His disciples, on the other hand, felt worried and afraid because of the strong winds. Many times in our lives, we can also relate to what the disciples experienced. We easily feel scared by the unexpected circumstances around us that we can no longer activate our faith. Instead…

Day 242 – Luke 11:10
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Luke 10:10, NIV Ask God, and you will receive what you prayed for. Don’t just think about what will happen next. Transform your worries into prayers. Lift them up to God and be specific about what you want. Seek for His guidance, and He will be there. Knock on the opportunities you desire, and they will be open to you. Connect your heart to Him. Share your problems and know that He is listening. Sometimes, we keep thinking about our situation and forget to ask for some help. Know…

It’s not that God wants to break your heart, He just wants you to Grow
Nobody knows what’s in the mind of God. But He reveals to us what’s in His heart, and that’s His great love for the world. He cares for you and me. You may not understand what’s going in your life. You may think that God allows things to happen just to break your heart, but the truth is, behind the pain that you feel are opportunities for you to grow and learn. He wants you to know who He is and be responsible enough to handle the consequences of your actions. God is also a Father, and just like your parents, He would rather choose to correct you than see…

Day 101 – Psalm 62:8
Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8, NIV We can never control the things that are happening around us. There are moments when our faith will be tested, and the best thing that we can do is trust God. Sometimes, it’s not easy, especially when you are in pain and struggling, but that’s what faith is for. It’s about believing in His promises even in moments when you are not okay. Just come to God and pour out what you feel. He will comfort you. He is your refuge, and He will take good care of…
