Life with purpose

  FOOD FOR THOUGHT 🤍 The Lord placed these questions on my heart. I wrote them down and have meditated on them since. Today, I feel led to share them. Take a moment to reflect: Are you working for the Kingdom of Heaven… or the kingdom of hell? Are we building each other up… or working against one another? How do I know if I’m working for someone or against them? What attitudes, words, or behaviors create division among us? The things I say. The things I watch. The things I listen to. The things I consume. The thoughts I entertain. The emotions I feed. The actions I take… Are they drawing me closer to God — or pulling me away from Him? The people I love and who surround me — Am I helping lead them toward God? Or is my influence pushing them away? The gifts, opportunities, and blessings I receive — Are they strengthening my relationship with God… Or quietly replacing it? This isn’t about condemnation. It’s about alignment. Every day, we are building something — either advancing the ...

  Stirring the Pot Scripture Anchor: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts."  — Psalm 139:23 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God…"  — James 1:5 There are moments in our lives when everything feels unsettled. Circumstances shift. Emotions rise. Questions surface. It feels as if God has taken the spoon and begun stirring the pot of our lives. I once shared this message before, but as I revisited it today, it stirred my heart again. Sometimes God has to stir the pot in your life so you can see what rises to the surface. When you cook soup, the richest nutrients often rise to the top when the pot is stirred. Yet many times, we skim that layer off and throw it away without realizing it contains substance and value. In the same way, when God allows movement, pressure, or even discomfort in our lives, it is often to reveal what is already there — answers we have prayed for, wisdom we have received, convictions He has placed ...

  ✨ Called With Purpose Peace, Purpose, and Trust in Jesus Peace can only be found in Jesus through faith. He fulfills us with joy as we trust in Him. In gratitude, we honor and glorify His precious name— the name above all names. For He loves us all. He gives hope. He gives purpose. He restores what is broken. He walks with us in every season. Life may bring questions. It may bring challenges. It may test our faith. But in Jesus, there is a peace that the world cannot give. A peace that remains, even in uncertainty. A joy that comes from knowing we are loved. A hope that carries us forward. Bible  – Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Bible  – Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Devotional Reflection: True fulfillment is not found in thi...

The Lord woke me up at 3:21 in the morning today to write these verses and share them with you. Psalm 24:3-5 reminds us: Question: Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? Who will stand in His holy place? Answer: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to vanity or sworn deceitfully. He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of salvation. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” — Matthew 5:8 “May He grant you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.” — Psalm 20:4 But notice carefully what this verse teaches. God’s promise is not a license for selfish desires. If the longing of the heart is to obtain what belongs to others or to pursue vain and worldly ambitions, we should not expect God to approve such desires. We must examine our hearts. If our motives are rooted in pride or worldly gain, God is not pleased with that condition, and He will not grant requests that contradict His will. “Del...

  Called and Carried by the Almighty I don’t know who this word is for today, but who told you that the mission of your calling would be easy? Many times, when God calls us, we imagine clarity, smooth paths, and immediate strength. Yet Scripture shows us something different. When God called Moses, he felt inadequate (Exodus 3–4). When He called Jeremiah, he said,  “I do not know how to speak; I am too young”  (Jeremiah 1:6). When He called Gideon, he saw himself as the least in his family (Judges 6:15). The pattern is clear: God does not call the confident — He calls the willing. If God called you, He will guide you. Isaiah 42:16 says,  “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known… I will turn the darkness into light before them.” The calling of God always comes with the promise of His guidance. He never assigns a purpose without also committing His presence. Recognize who your God is. He is El Shaddai — the Almighty. In Luke 1:37 we are reminded,  “For no...

  🌿 God With Purpose 🌿 ✨ Strength for the Daily Battle ✨ I comfort myself in His Word. Through His Word, I receive strength for my daily battles. And as I share it, I feel the joy and love of the Lord filling me. That is what He desires for you too — to share what He has given you. This is why you must not stop reading His Word. It is your sword. As you read, you begin to delight yourself in Him. And as you delight in Him, He fills you with overflowing joy and peace through the mighty power of the Holy Spirit. Do not let anyone discourage you. Continue on this journey. And when you feel like you cannot go on anymore, surrender every battle to Him — because He fights for you. When we feel powerless in ourselves, that is our invitation to run to Christ and receive strength from Him. “When I am weak, He is strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 *"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 m...
