  Reflection on Ephesians 3:20 Ephesians 3:20 reminds us of God's abundant power and His ability to exceed our expectations. The verse says,  “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” It's a beautiful promise that God doesn’t just give us what we ask for, but He goes beyond what we can even imagine or dream. This verse teaches us the importance of patience and trust in God's timing. We might find ourselves praying for certain things—whether it’s for a new job, healing, peace, or even relationships to be restored. But God often has plans that are far bigger than our own understanding. He knows exactly what we need, and in His perfect timing, He gives us more than we could ever ask for. His ways are higher than our ways. For example, you may be praying for a job, but God might be preparing an opportunity that’s even better than what you thought possible. Or you might be seeking peace in your ...

Reflection on Isaiah 66:13 Isaiah 66:13 says,  "As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem." This verse offers a powerful picture of God's love and care. It reminds us that even in our most difficult and painful moments, God is there, offering comfort and peace.

  Reflection on Psalm 34:18 Psalm 34:18 reminds us of God’s compassionate nature and His nearness to those who are suffering. "I see every tear that falls. I am close to the brokenhearted, and I will heal your wounds." This verse speaks deeply to the human experience of pain and heartache. No matter what we are going through—whether it's grief, disappointment, loneliness, or emotional turmoil—God sees us. He is not distant or indifferent, but close to us, in the midst of our brokenness. For example, when we face the loss of a loved one, God promises to be near, offering comfort in our sorrow.

And even in moments of spiritual dryness, when we feel far from Him, He draws near to heal our wounded hearts. Applying this verse means taking comfort in the fact that God is not just aware of our pain but actively engaged in healing us. We can bring our brokenness before H...

  Reflection on Joel 2:25 In life, we often face moments of loss—whether it’s the loss of time, opportunities, relationships, or even our own sense of purpose. It can feel devastating when we experience setbacks.    Whether it’s the loss of loved ones, relationships, dreams, time, or even opportunities, the weight of what’s missing can feel overwhelming.  It's easy to question why things happen the way they do or to wonder if we’ll ever recover.

  Reflection on Psalm 37:24:  In our fast-paced, often chaotic lives, it’s easy  to feel like we’re walking on a fragile path, constantly at risk of stumbling or falling. Sometimes, it’s a result of external pressures—difficult relationships, financial struggles, health issues, or personal disappointments. Other times, it’s the internal battles—doubts, fears, guilt, or insecurities—that make us feel like we’re walking a tightrope, afraid that one misstep will cause everything to collapse. Psalm 37:24 offers profound comfort in these moments of uncertainty. The verse doesn’t promise a life free from stumbling; in fact, it acknowledges that we  will  stumble. The reality is that we all face moments of weakness, failure, and even despair. It’s a part of the human experience. But what this verse promises is that, even in those times when we feel we’re about to fall, God’s hand is there to steady us. The imagery of God "upholding" us with His hand is so powerful. It'...
