  Reflection on Romans 8:28 " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Life is full of challenges—moments of uncertainty, pain, and disappointment. Sometimes, we may feel like nothing is going right, and we wonder if God is even listening. But Romans 8:28 reminds us of a powerful truth:  God is always at work, even in the unseen.  Think about the story of Job. He lost everything—his wealth, health, and even his family. But through his suffering, God was working behind the scenes, refining Job’s faith and preparing to restore him in ways he never imagined. In the end, Job was blessed even more than before. Like Job, we may not always understand why we face trials, but we can trust that God is using every situation for our good. We can apply this verse in our daily lives by choosing  faith over fear.  Instead of focusing on our struggles, we can hold onto God’s promises. When we fa...

  Reflection on Psalm 138:8 This verse is a powerful reminder that God is in control, even when we don’t understand our circumstances. Sometimes, life feels uncertain—we face setbacks, disappointments, and delays. But Psalm 138:8 reassures us that God has a plan, and He is actively working in our lives to bring it to fulfillment. Think about Joseph in the Bible. He was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and imprisoned for years. It must have seemed like his life was off track. But God was working behind the scenes, positioning him to become second in command in Egypt and to save many lives. Just like Joseph, we must trust that God is weaving together the details of our lives for His greater purpose. We can apply this verse by surrendering our worries to God. Instead of stressing about the future, we can pray, seek His guidance, and trust that He is leading us. If you’re facing a tough season, remember: God is not finished with you yet. His plans for you are good, and He w...

  I Reflection on Isaiah 41:13 Isaiah 41:13 reminds us of God's unfailing presence and help in our lives. The verse says,  "I am the LORD your God; Do not be afraid, I will help you."  These words are not just a promise—they are an invitation to trust God completely. Life often throws challenges our way that can fill us with fear, doubt, or anxiety. Yet, this verse is a powerful reminder that we are not alone. God reaches out, holding our hand, guiding us through every trial. We can apply this verse by actively choosing to surrender our fears to Him in prayer. For example, if you're worried about an uncertain future, remember that God’s help is not only immediate but deeply personal. When facing a tough decision, instead of relying solely on our own understanding, we can seek His guidance. In moments of weakness, like dealing with failure or rejection, remind yourself that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. Additionally, we can reflect on this verse when ...

  Throughout Jesus’ life and ministry, He called listeners’ attention to various sins as he taught about His Father’s will, and guided believers in what it truly means to love God, and to walk with Him. But during His ministry, did Jesus call out some sins more than others? As God’s children, we are to pay attention, not just to Jesus’ words, but what they reveal about His heart for us. Wherever He calls out sin, he points the way to something far greater than what the sin promises us. This is why it is so crucial to listen closely and respond to what Jesus emphasized in His teachings. 1. Hypocrisy What it means : Hypocrisy is pretending to be righteous outwardly while being corrupt inwardly. Jesus particularly rebuked the Pharisees and religious leaders who performed acts of piety for public recognition rather than true devotion to God. Examples from Scripture : Matthew 23:27-28 : “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which...
