Verse Of The Day - ISAIAH 43:16-19

A Reflection on Isaiah 43:16-19 Life often brings us to places where we feel trapped—situations that seem impossible, challenges that appear too great to overcome. In these moments, doubt can creep in, and we may wonder if there’s any way forward. But Isaiah 43:16-19 reminds us that God is a way-maker, a miracle-worker who specializes in doing the impossible. This passage begins by recalling God's mighty work in delivering Israel through the Red Sea. When the Israelites stood before the waters with the Egyptian army closing in behind them, they saw no escape. But God made a way where there was no way—He parted the sea, allowing them to cross on dry ground. Then, God shifts our focus:  “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”  (v. 18-19). While it’s important to remember God’s faithfulness in the past, He calls us to look forward. He is always at work, bringing fresh provision, new opportunities, and unexpected solutions. Even in the wi...

Verse Of The Day - PSALM 34:10

-
Image
  The Righteous Lack No Good Thing Psalm 34:10 There’s a deep, quiet confidence that comes from reading these words:  “The righteous lack no good thing.”  It’s a simple statement, but it holds a world of meaning about the character of God and the life He calls us to live. At first glance, it may seem hard to believe. Life often feels full of lack — unmet dreams, unanswered prayers, unfulfilled needs. We all walk through seasons where what we desire most feels just out of reach. But Psalm 34:10 gently reminds us that when we walk closely with God, He ensures we lack  no good thing. Notice the phrase carefully:  good thing.  God, in His wisdom, knows what is truly good for us — not just what looks good, feels good, or seems good in the moment. He sees the bigger picture we cannot see. Sometimes the things we think we desperately need are the very things He lovingly withholds for our protection, growth, or preparation. His definition of “good” is shaped by His...

Reflection on Isaiah 60:22 – Trusting God's Perfect Timing

  Reflection on Isaiah 60:22 – Trusting God's Perfect Timing Isaiah 60:22 says,  “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.” This verse is a powerful promise about God’s perfect timing. So often in life, we feel anxious and impatient. We pray, we hope, and we work hard, but sometimes it feels like the answers or breakthroughs are delayed. In those moments, it’s easy to doubt or become discouraged. But Isaiah 60:22 reminds us that  God is never late, and He is never early—He is always exactly on time. God sees the full picture when we only see a small part. He knows what needs to happen in us and around us to prepare for the blessings He has planned. Sometimes the waiting season is not about God withholding good things but about Him shaping our character, building our faith, and aligning circumstances so that when the promise comes, we are fully ready to receive it. This verse also teaches us to rest. We don’t have to force things to happen in our own stren...

Verse Of The Day - JERMIAH 33:3

-
Image
  Call to Me, and I Will Answer You Jeremiah 33:3 is one of the most powerful invitations in the Bible: "Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." These words were spoken by God to the prophet Jeremiah while he was imprisoned. At a time when Judah was facing destruction and Jeremiah’s own future looked uncertain, God extended an invitation—not just to speak, but to call upon Him with confidence. This verse reveals God’s heart for His people. He does not desire for us to walk in confusion, doubt, or fear. Instead, He wants us to come to Him, to ask, and to expect Him to respond in ways beyond our understanding. God’s Promise to Answer Notice that God doesn’t say,  "Call to me, and I might answer you."  He says,  "I will answer you."  This is a guarantee. When we sincerely seek God in prayer, He hears us. Sometimes, the answer is immediate. Other times, it unfolds over time. But He always answers—whether...
