Laborers are FEW
Verse of the Day 📙
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Matthew 9:37 (NIV)
In a world focused on recognition, likes, and titles, many people are caught in a constant quest for validation, and recognition. Social media enhances this trend, making popularity feel like a measure of success and self-worth. However, spiritual teachings highlight a deeper truth: the importance of being faithful in small matters, and taking good care of what has already been placed in your hand.
This comparison encourages us to reflect on our motives. While society often celebrates loud voices and visible achievements, spiritual wisdom urges us to value integrity and responsibility, over cultural values and importance, even in minor tasks. This realization will highlight the significance of being faithful with what we have, and how we take care of it, showing that true fulfillment comes not from praise and achievements but from authenticity and diligence in our daily lives.

Crushed in Spirit
Verse of the Day 📙
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalms 34:18 (NIV)
This verse is taken from Psalm 34 ( a Psalm of Anguish) in which David pours out his heart to God in desperation with a crushed spirit. On the run from King Saul - a wicked king of Israel, pretending to be insane in front of Abimelech
God saves David when he needs him MOST.
GOD IS AWARE, HE SEES, AND HE IS THERE!
1. God is CLOSE. When you're going through troubles, and facing trials, that seem to not make any sense, and you think you're on your own, you are not! Pay attention, stay close, GOD is closer than you think.
2. God welcomes the broken. You may have discounted yourself, and counted yourself out GOD welcomes the hurt and broken. He can use your mess, and create a message out of it.
3. God SAVES and restores. When you're at the end of your rope, or your tunnel, and think 🤔 there is no way! God saves EVEN at that moment. Not only does he SAVE, he restores.
Now that you know your truth, what's holding you back from pouring out your heart to him?

Warrior Gideon
Verse of the Day 📙
When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.” Judges 6:12 NIV
When Gedion was struggling and questioning GOD, because it seemed that they were winning, targeted on all sides, by the Midianites. God send an angel to speak to him. He called him a Warrior, and a mighty one at that.
God send protection with Gedion as he went on destroying Egyptian's gods and treasures. At first he was afraid, but God gave him POWER to overcome his weaknesses. In our weaknesses God is STRONG!
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-11
Don't wait till everything is set into place, walk into it, EVEN when you are afraid.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but power and strength in the midst of it.
If God be for you, who can be against you, or stand against you?
Romans 8:31

Gift of Salvation ❤️
Verse of the Day 📙
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)
We are Saved by FAITH
No amount of work, performance or religious duty or effort can earn us salvation. It is a GIFT of GOD, not of ourselves, not of anything we did, but SIMLY the LOVE of GOD who SAVES us from eternal punishment of sin.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
We as humans are destined to perish, BUT GOD in his mercy came up with a brilliant PLAN, to save us humans and give us the GIFT of eternal life.
We are crafted or created for good works, to encourage, uplift and comfort one another.
Are you working to get right with GOD?
Our religious performance will not get us anywhere, only FAITH will.
Faith is the confidence of things hoped for assurance of unseen evidence or proof.
We are invited into the family of GOD.

Cleansing of Heart ❤️
Verse of the Day 📙
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalms 51:10 (NKJV)
Good Afternoon,
If you went to church, or did a study, what did you learn today?
Our pastor taught on forgiveness, how we must continue to allow God, to perform a surgery on us 🙏🏻 to remove anything in us that stands as an offense to God's plan and purpose for our lives.
Forgiveness is not easy but if we give it to God, the process becomes a little easier. 🙏🏻
Forgivess is not for the other person, its for you.
You may never get an apology from the other person, just do your best to walk in love.
Which reminds me, of today's Verse of the Day
Psalms 51:10 NKJV
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me."
David pleading with God to transform his heart. He had just commited a sin, and its eating at him. Instead running from God, David runs to God, to perform a surgery on him, to examine his ways, and to create in him a new heart. The surgery that takes place removes his transgression from him, and in it's place, a new heart is birthed and a renewed spirit develops.
What are some areas that you desire to give to God?

Verse of the Day
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Reflection
In GOD we have redemption through the POWER of his blood, the forgiveness of our sins. Sins we are aware of, and sins we are not aware of, known, and unknown.

How to Memorize Scriptures
Inspired by YouVersion Bible Plan ” Not Okay”
Today, let’s try something a little different. Let’s see if you can memorize a verse just by reading it. Read the verse a few times, start trying to memorize it, and spend today reflecting on what it says and why it matters.
For Example
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
Break the scripture down by parts, memorize the first part, then when you are confident move on to the second portion and third, before you know it, you will memorize the entire scripture. I use this method with my Sunday school class, and it works quite well. We are to hide God’s Word in our hearts, so when the time comes we will be able to recite it without the Bible. Psalm 119:11
See how much of the passage you have remembered from the last two weeks. Repeat it until you can say it without looking. Take a ten-minute walk, and repeat the passage to yourself for the entire walk.

✨️Don't hide your light!
Let the light of GOD radiate and inspire, so that all may see, and glorify your Father in heaven.
Purpose that stands
✨️ We plan, we strategize, we draw out the details, but what God designs for us, will in the end come to pass. If you're worried today that things aren't going the way you expected them to, or you are uncertain about your future, God has a great plan for you and I✨️
The Kingdom of God
✨️This verse speaks of the vast importance of the Kingdom of Heaven that is filled with surprising, unexpected blessings and favor.
Always invest into the KINGDOM, which is filled with mysteries and blessings.
In the Morning
✨️Our Morning Prayers are very powerful!
No matter where we are, we should pray with intention and purpose, believing he hears us.
Daily Bread
When we pray or ask God for anything, we should ask for daily provision of bread ( food).
A portion is available every single day.
Humility
Where the world exalts pride, the Kingdom of God honors humility. When you think of humility, what comes to mind? In our world, humility is not something often celebrated, or accepted. We would rather be seen as powerful, influential, and important.
God in YOU
Think about it: God made you. God put you here, at this specific time in history. God has a plan and purpose for your life. Not only that, but He gave you a brain that thinks, a heart that beats, and lungs that breathe. He gave you talents and abilities, hopes and desires. He gave you ears and eyes, muscles, and ligaments. And He positioned you on this planet that happens to be in the ideal position in our solar system for life to thrive. You are a part of God's plan.
Fight the good fight
Paul was faithful to God and, without end, God was faithful to Paul. Shipwrecked. Stoned. Abandoned by friends. Imprisoned. The list of what Paul suffered goes on and on. But he persevered. He remained steadfast in his devotion to Christ.
Nothing is Impossible
In Matthew 19:16-22, a young man comes to Jesus asking for eternal life. Jesus tells him that he must give up all of his earthly possessions–something the young man is not willing to do. Because he failed the test, the young man failed to inherit eternal life.
Walk by Spirit
Our sinful nature ( flesh) desires things that are contrary to the spirit. In fact, spirit and flesh are opposites of each other. Spirit focuses on how it’s spiritually beneficial, whereas flesh focuses on how it can benefit physically. For example, when spirit desires to pray, or fast, or do anything to grow and develop spiritually, our flesh declares a war!
Endure Trials
Perhaps today, you are facing tough trials, persecution, or struggles that you can not seem to overlook or overcome a struggle that is just too big, too strong, too powerful... Nothing is impossible with GOD.
