‭Psalm 23:5-6 KJV‬ [5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Devotion: As Psalm 23 comes to a close, the psalmist paints a scene that is both dynamic and ironic: a lavish banquet is prepared right in front of his enemies. Imagine God laying out a feast before you in the presence of adversity and fear. God gives abundantly in the middle of hardship. “You anoint my head with oil,” the psalmist adds, “my cup overflows.” Anointing with oil demonstrates divine favor and strength. It's like a warrior receiving a blessing before battle. Every obstacle and doubt are met with God's presence. The psalmist’s cup isn’t just full, it’s running over! In God, we have blessings that joyfully spill over into the lives of others.   The psalmist concludes with wholehearted trust:  "Surely y...

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5 KJV Devotion: In the spiritual, meekness is power submitted to God's control, it is different from weakness, lack of power or lack of support or influence. In actual fact it is reliance on God's power when you decide not to judge, when you decide to let go and instead praise God. Then God will act on your behalf and do the needful.  Is anyone lording it over you and seemingly you cannot overcome him by your power? Simply submit to God in prayers and wait for God's judgement. The Israelites could not overcome Pharaoh by the strength of arms God did for them. The walls of Jericho was a big issue on the way, but it went down when Israelites submitted to God's order.  Dearly beloved, all you need is submit to God having done your humanly part, God will do the rest. Hallelujah! Don't forget to share your testimony with us. Written by me Dr Joel Olanrewaju, I can be reached at gbemide09@gmail.com for ques...

"If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Timothy 2:21"  Devotion : My mom and women of her generation have an extensive collection of enamelware in various sizes and colors. While some pieces are used regularly, others are reserved for special purposes, such as for my dad's use or to serve esteemed guests on special occasions, highlighting the significance and value attached to these items.  In a great house, there are vessels made of gold, silver, wood, and clay. Some vessels are placed in prominent places of honor, and others are placed where they can be easily reached for ordinary use. In the same way, in the house of God, there are many vessels, which represent the children of God. Some are placed in prominent and vital positions and others in ordinary positions.  However, there is room for promotion, which comes to those who will work on themselves...

 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. ‭1 Peter 5:8-9 KJV‬ Devotional: In verse 8, Peter urges believers to be vigilant and alert, much like a soldier on guard duty. He emphasizes the need to remain sober and aware of their surroundings. The devil is portrayed as a fierce predator, akin to a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. His goal is to undermine believers’ faith and their relationship with God. Moving to verse 9, Peter encourages believers to stand firm in their faith and resist the devil’s attacks. They should not waver or give in to fear. Additionally, Peter reminds them that they are not alone in their struggles; fellow believers worldwide face similar challenges and afflictions. This knowledge should strengthen their resolve to persevere. Overall, this passage un...

‭ ... while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV‬ Devotion: We have a special ministry, and because of God’s mercy, we don’t lose heart. We’ve chosen to be honest and not deceive anyone. Instead, we share the truth openly, knowing that some people won’t understand.  The god of this world has blinded those who don’t believe, preventing them from seeing the glorious message of Christ. We don’t preach about ourselves; our focus is on Jesus.  Even though we face challenges, we’re not defeated. We carry the message of Jesus’ sacrifice in our bodies, and our faith sustains us. Our temporary struggles lead to an eternal glory that we can’t see yet.  Proclaiming the Word of God in certain regions of the world is a daunting task that can even cost one's life. I have personal experience living in a country where sharing the mes...

 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.‭ Isaiah 53:6 KJV‬ Devotion: While waiting on the Lord on what to write on the verse of the day this is what I saw: "I saw myself picking up empty drink cans and dropping them into the waste bin." Some people drank the content of these and I am sure they know it should never be dropped on the ground. In most countries it is an offense and one can be fined for littering the environment.    This is how we all do things we know we should never do yet we do. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" so none is exempted. But unlike world government which will fine or send to jail, God made a way for all to escape the punishment for sin. In 2 Samuel 14:14b "yet doth he devise means, that his banished(the sinner) be not expelled from him."  This way is Jesus Christ (John 14:6) the son of ...

.... and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ‭John 8:32 KJV‬ Devotion: What is truth? Our world has many ways of answering this question. Often, this is what we see: truth is whatever you want it to be. It’s defined by the individual and nothing else.  Recently there was an argument online in which someone claimed that his assertion was the only truth, the correct version but all other people in the platform new that this man was wrong yet he tried to force others to believe in his truth. We often find such position in politics; when politicians need the people's votes they tell you black is white and want you to believe.  But God’s definition of truth is different because he himself through his son, Jesus Christ is the truth and the life (John 14 : 6). If you want to enjoy this truth all you need is come to Jesus Christ because only in Him can you have freedom. He will set you free from human deceit. Those who practice idol worshipping know they are d...

In Hebrews 4:11, the consequences of disbelief and disobedience are clear, urging us to avoid repeating the history of the Israelites' rebellion. This reminds me of the time I was in residency in family medicine. One evening I took energy drink so that I'll stay awake all night to prepare for an exam. Truly I did not blink an eye throughout the night but when the day broke I did not remember anything I studied over night. So when you doubt God you cannot have success(rest) but when you trust him all you need is little effort and God will do the rest. That was the last time I drank energy drink. There's a danger in neglecting God's promised rest. This verse calls for active pursuit of rest, shifting from relying on ourselves to fully trusting in God. By actively seeking this rest, we trade the wilderness of doubt for the green pastures of God’s presence. It sounds a little odd, doesn’t it? Making an effort to rest? What the verse is really saying, though, is that we need...

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1" Devotion : There is a race set before every child of God and he or she is expected to win this race. The race may not be the same for everybody, but the expectation of winning is the same for everybody.   What must we do then? The opening scripture gives us a clue to the answer: We should lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us, and run with patience. The weight in your life may be laziness, pornography, overeating, ignorance, failing to study the Bible frequently, etc. The sin that easily besets you might be telling lies, stealing, gossiping, fornication, adultery, drunkenness, etc.   It is our duty to identify that sin in our lives; they may not be the same for everyone since we all have different temperaments and weaknesses....

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. ‭Hebrews 4:9 KJV‬ Devotion: The pursuit of success and rest is a lifelong journey. From childhood, we strive to achieve our goals, working hard and seeking prosperity. While some find rest in their accomplishments, others continue to labor, seeking a sense of peace and fulfillment. But true rest comes from God alone (Psalm 32:8). The book of Hebrews reminds us that there remains a Sabbath-rest for God's people (Hebrews 4:9), a spiritual rest that transcends external circumstances.  Through faith and trust in God, we can experience a deep and lasting rest for our souls, a precursor to the eternal rest to come (Revelation 14:13). This Sabbath-rest is a gift from God, not earned by our efforts (Colossians 2:17). As you reflect on Hebrews 4:9, consider how you can fully enter God's rest in your daily life. How can you release your burdens and anxieties, trusting in God's promise of true rest and peace? Please share your tes...

‭Psalm 107:13-14 KJV‬ Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bands in sunder. Devotion: Who do you call when trouble comes? I heard the story on a pastor who when he was about to be knocked down by a fast moving car called on a man made god to deliver him. In essence he believed in this god and not the God he preached.   Our verse of the day from Palm 107 tells us of how Israelites called on God of heaven and he delivered them. This same God delivered me several times when I was in trouble. All I did was go on my knees and let God know about my problem and they was it. Solution.  Dear reader, are you having any difficulty, is trouble anywhere near your tent call on God today and you'll be saved. The only requirement is your unfailing faith. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." ...

‭James 1:27 KJV‬  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Devotion: I observed among Christians in my locality that once they attend church services they are less concerned about the less privileged in the society. But that is not enough, in addition to church attendance and Bible reading there's need for kindness, mercy, love and giving.   In our neighborhood there are thousands of people who cannot eat one good meal a day. We often overlook this fact under the pretence that what we have is not enough for our need so we can't share with others.     When we buy from the poor street vendor we often under price, while in the shopping mall we buy and give tips to those who do not need it. We often sneer at beggers and ask them to go and work even as able bodied persons cannot find job. In our schools are indigent brilliant students who d...

‭2 John 1:6 KJV‬ And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.  Devotion: Jesus gave His disciples a new commandment: "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 13:34-35). This commandment was later reiterated by John in 2 John 1:5-6, emphasizing that loving one another is an act of obedience to Jesus. By loving each other despite our differences, we demonstrate the transformative power of Jesus' love and show the world what it means to be His disciples. Let's strive to show Jesus' love to fellow believers, obeying His commandment and walking in His ways.  As you go out today let Christ like love radiate from you to all people so that they will say, truly this person is a Christian. Have a blessed day. Please feel free to share this devotional with your contacts and please ask questions, seek counsel and clarification on any of our topics. Hallelujah. You can reach...

‭Proverbs 23:24 KJV‬  The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: And he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. Devotion: Today is Father's Day, we all expect to be congratulated, to receive gifts, hugs and kissing from our children and spouses. But it is important to reflect on two things: 1) which father am I?  2) How do I raise godly children that will give me joy.   To answer the first question we need to re-examine our lives and if we have not given our lives to Christ we must do it fast. Only living in Christ can make us a good father, a good example to our children. Only living in Christ can make our lives worthy of emulation by our children. Let's know that children always copy what the parents do, if you smoke they are likely to smoke, an alcoholic father will likely bring up alcoholic children ditto an adulterer will bring up a fornicator and a wife beater will bring up a monster. But if we are godly we will live a live of love, humility,...

"With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Ephesians 6:7" Devotion : People have various intentions or motives when rendering service; their intent may be ulterior, evil, good, etc. I've noticed that many people offer suggestions to politicians with hidden agendas. Some individuals propose public projects that appear to benefit the community, but their true intention is to secure contracts for personal gain. Once they receive the contract, they demand partial payment upfront and disappear with the money without completing the project. This deceitful practice undermines trust in government and harms the community. As children of God we should never be involved in this type of behaviour and we must condemn it wherever it occurs.   The only motive permitted by believers in Christ Jesus, however, is to serve people with good intent; serve others as unto the Lord.  Wherever you find yourself, be it at the office, on board a vehicle or aircraft, in the commu...

‭Lamentations 3:25-26 KJV‬  The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, To the soul that seeketh him. [26]  It is good that a man should both hope and quietly Wait for the salvation of the LORD. Devotion: Waiting is profitable especially when you Wait on the Lord.  A farmer prepared the land in September, then plants yams between October and December. The farmer quietly waits for the yams to sprout in January meanwhile he prays for early rain. He cuts grasses to cover the heaps so that the yam seedlings will not burn during the hot season of April. Then comes the rains and weeds start growing so the farmer picks outs the weeds and tends the yams to climb on the sticks. The yam is ready for harvest in June, sometimes in July. In all this the farmer has waited for 9-10 months and he's blessed after.   We Christians have to learn from the farmer and not be in to much hurry. While waiting on the Lord we need to study the Bible, pray unto God and share the good new...

"Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22" Devotion : In furtherance of yesterday's topic, we want you to know that you can enjoy burden free life when you give your life to Christ. The Christian kind of life is a life that is totally dependent on God. God is your burden bearer, and therefore, there is absolutely no need to burden yourself with the issues of life. If you have knowledge of the opening scripture and you are still carrying your burden, then you are demonstrating that you want to be a god unto yourself.  Instead, our responsibility is to cast the burden on God in prayer, and He will then sustain us. Jesus Christ buttressed this point when He said all who are heavypladen should come to Him and He will give them rest (Matthew 11:28).  God knows how to take care of His children, and He is always ready to rescue the righteous from any kind of struggle. We need to learn to cast the burde...

Galatians 6:2 KJV - Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Devotion: Bill Withers' classic song "Lean on Me" (https://youtu.be/fOZ-MySzAac?si=iLimStcdTGtWnkdH) resonates with us because we've all experienced the weight of burdens.   Jesus invites us to come to Him with our weariness (Matthew 11:28-30), and to yoke ourselves to Him, sharing our burdens and finding rest in His strength. The law of Christ is to love God and others selflessly (Matthew 22:37-40). By binding ourselves to Jesus, we tap into His power to endure hardships, make wise decisions, and love others unconditionally. As Jesus bore our sins and suffering, we are called to support fellow believers, demonstrating Christ's love and guiding them to Him. If you're struggling under the weight of financial, spiritual, or social burdens, come to Jesus now. Spend a few moments sharing your concerns with God. You may be surprised by His desire to use you to support someone el...

‭Isaiah 26:4 KJV‬ Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. Devotion: In times of pain, loss, and uncertainty, it's challenging to trust in God's promises. Yet, Isaiah's prophecies remind us that God is sovereign, faithful, and unchanging. Despite circumstances, we can trust God, who suffered for us and promises to: - Fight for us - Never leave us - Make a way for us - Love us - Protect us - Remain faithful to us Let's choose to trust God, our salvation, and find courage in His unchanging nature. Come what may, God remains constant and faithful.  I urge you to go out there and encourage someone to put his or her trust in God. First lead the person to Christ and give testimony of what God did, and still doing for you. The Lord bless you as you do.  Please feel free to share this devotional to your contacts. Help  someone to put his/her trust in Christ.  I welcome questions, suggestions, clarification and prayer requests at gbemide...

Matthew 7:24 KJV  "Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock." Devotion: The world defines wisdom as good judgment or a wise attitude, but as Christians, we know that true wisdom comes from trusting in Jesus Christ and following His teachings. When we believe in Jesus as Lord and the Son of God (John 3:16, John 8:54), we acknowledge His words as wisdom. Are you listening to Jesus' gentle whispers in your heart? Or are you neglecting the wisdom in the Bible and relying solely on yourself (Proverbs 3:5)? Instead, commit your ways to God, and He will prosper you (Proverbs 16:3). Let God guide you on the right path (Psalm 32:8). Build your life, business, and home on the solid rock of Jesus Christ, and you will be transformed. Share this devotion with others, ask questions, seek counsel, and clarification. Send your suggestions to gbemide09@gmail.com. Shalom! Dr. Joel Olanrewaju

‭Matthew 7:24 KJV‬ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:  Devotion: According to Mariam Webster dictionary, wisdom can be defined as good sense of judgement or a  wise   attitude ,  belief , or course of action. This is secular definition and it is humanly correct.  But when we put our trust in Jesus Christ and listen to His words and follow in His footsteps then we are wise. If we believe that Jesus is lord and that he is the son of God (John 3:16, John 8 : 54) and God in human form then whatever He says is wisdom. If we listen to His word and act according to his words then we are wise.  The question is do you listen to Jesus, the silent inner word whispered into your ear? Do you neglect what you read from the Bible? Do you think you're wise than Jesus and only trust yourself? (Proverbs 3:5). The Bible says commit your works unto God  and He shall make y...

"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Hebrews 12:14" Devotion : The children of God have two relationships: their relationship with God and their relationship with men. When the children of God deal with men, they are expected to deal peacefully with them. The Scriptures say that as much as lies with the children of God, they should live peaceably with all men (Romans 12:18). It is only in the midst of this peace that we can experience continual development.    On the other hand, the children of God must live a holy life because without holiness, we cannot experience the Lord. God is holy, and we can only see Him with a pure and sincere heart. If Christians are able to appropriately hold to these two standards in their relationships, they will live in continual joy and prosperity.   Dear beloved, how do you live with your fellow men? What is your relationship with the Lord? Share your thoughts here.   Please feel free to s...

And he said to me, O man greatly beloved, fear not; be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. ” (Daniel 10:19) Devotion : The Scriptures are our ultimate guide and remedy for life’s trials. When Daniel encountered a divine vision that left him weak, it was the angel’s words that restored his strength. This teaches us that amidst our struggles, we should turn to the Scriptures for guidance and strength. The power of God’s Word is immediate and effective, fulfilling its purpose as soon as it is spoken (Hebrews 4:12). Understanding God’s Word  is vital for spiritual growth and a deep connection with God. Here are steps to deepen your engagement with Scripture: Trusting the Word of God : Believe in its truth and address any criticisms with confidence. Studying the Word of God : Commit to learning and memorizing Scripture through diligent study. Using the Word of God : Let it guide you in li...

 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 KJV‬ Devotion: Who can have peace? ‭ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24:4. The only person who can have peace is aptly described in the verse above. This is a person who has given his life to Christ and lives Holy life. Someone who lives right, humble, loves, shows mercy, helps the weak and indigent.   But if you have to constantly watch your back when you go out of the home, you have to hire body guards to secure safety for you, please check your life. There maybe need to change your ways and move nearer to God. I have seen men of "God" traveling around with a platoon of soldiers guarding them 24/7. I'm not a judge but maybe they have to reevaluate their lives and make corrections.   Dear reader, did you sleep peacefully last night? What was disturbing your mind? Take it to ...

Micah 6:8 KJV‬ He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?  Devotion:  - "To do justly": This means to live a life of moral integrity, being fair and honest in all interactions, and standing up for what is right. - "To love mercy": This means to show compassion, kindness, and empathy towards others, especially those in need. - "To walk humbly with thy God": This means to have a humble and reverent relationship with God, recognizing one's place in the grand scheme of things and submitting to His will. In essence, the verse is saying that God doesn't require grand sacrifices or elaborate rituals, but rather a life of simple, genuine devotion and moral character.     Let's is try to examine our lives, how do we relate with people around us, our equals, people below us and strangers. Many times we try to show off and go into overdo just so th...

 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.‭ 3 John 1:11 KJV Devotion: As follow up to yesterday's topic Apostle John here admonishes us to imitate God in doing good. When one of my son's was a toddler he imitated me in all I do. He talked as I talked, walked as I walked, when I read he took his brother's book and behaved the same way. Now if I was a drunkered or beating my wife or something worst that's how he would copy my character. But thank God I was not any of that and he grew up disciplined.   Now if we confess that God is our God, our father we should imitate Him in all we do, by doing good, loving, not judging, not begrudging anyone. Our actions and thoughts should tell the world around us that we belong to Jesus Christ. People should see us and call us born again Christian, people should relate with us and call us pastor even when we are not. If this has not happened t...

Romans 8:6 KJV says, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Devotion: Being carnally minded means indulging in fleshly desires and sinful behaviors, leading to separation from God and spiritual death. In contrast, being spiritually minded means living for Christ, abstaining from sin, and experiencing life and peace. To achieve this spiritual mindset, we must: - Give our lives to Christ - Study the Bible regularly - Be filled with the Holy Spirit With the Holy Spirit's guidance, we can abstain from sin and live a life dead to sin and alive in Christ. Take a moment to reflect: are you living for Christ and dead to sin, or are you still trapped in sinful living? If so, come back to Jesus today, for tomorrow may be too late (2 Corinthians 6:2). Feel free to reach out to me at gbemide09@gmail.com for questions, counsel, or suggestions. Share this devotional with your contacts, and may God bless you.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  ‭Romans 8:6 KJV‬. Devotion: The word carnal is  related to  or  given  to  crude   bodily   pleasures  and  appetites,  gluttony  and  other   carnal  activities such as immoral  sexual activity. This type of behaviour often lead to separation from God which is death even in the physical and spiritual.   While a spiritual minded person abstains from sin and lives his life for Christ thus he is alive in Christ and had peace of mind. To achieve this level you must have given your life to Christ, study the Bible regularly and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Therefore with the Holy Spirit guidance you abstain from sinning, this means you're life in Christ and dead to sin.   Please ask yourself if you're still living in Christ and dead to sin or you're life to sin. If you're still sinning your not of Christ it...

The Christian faith hinges on the pivotal event of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. Without this transformative sacrifice, our faith would be nonexistent. Through Jesus' shed blood, we experience forgiveness for our sins, enabling us to approach our holy God. His perfect life and sacrifice bridged the gap between our brokenness and God's perfection (Hebrews 9:22). Jesus' selfless act offers a once-and-for-all forgiveness, covering past, present, and future sins. Nothing can separate us from God's unwavering love. This redemption aligns with God's grace and promises, echoing throughout Scripture. As recipients of forgiveness, we should extend grace to ourselves and share the Good News with others, freeing them from bondage to sin. Let us rise up, sharing Christ's love, and shining His light to those in need. Feel free to share this devotional, ask questions, seek counsel, and offer suggestions. Shalom! Dr. Joel Olanrewaju

 నిశ్చలముగా ఉండుము, నేనే దేవుడనని తెలిసికొనుము; కీర్తన 46:10 KJV భక్తి: ఇది నిన్నటి టాపిక్ యొక్క కొనసాగింపు, దేవునిపై దృష్టి పెట్టండి. ఇక్కడ మనం కీర్తన 46:10; ఈ పద్యం దేవుని సార్వభౌమాధికారాన్ని మరియు ఆయనపై మనం విశ్వసించవలసిన అవసరాన్ని శక్తివంతమైన రిమైండర్. ఈ పద్యం ఆధారంగా ఇక్కడ కొన్ని భక్తి ప్రతిబింబాలు ఉన్నాయి: 1: నిశ్చలంగా ఉండండి మరియు దేవుని శాంతిని తెలుసుకోండి: జీవితం అస్తవ్యస్తంగా అనిపించినప్పుడు, మరియు ఆందోళన మనల్ని ముంచెత్తుతుందని బెదిరించినప్పుడు, కీర్తన 46:10 ప్రశాంతమైన నిర్దేశాన్ని అందిస్తుంది: “నిశ్చలంగా ఉండు, నేను దేవుడనని తెలుసుకో.” “నిశ్చలంగా ఉండండి” అనే పదబంధాన్ని “ఖాళీగా నిలబడండి” లేదా “ఖాళీగా ఉండండి” అని కూడా అనువదించవచ్చు. ఇది మన చింతలను, భయాలను మరియు కష్టాలను వదులుకోమని ఆహ్వానిస్తుంది. ప్రతిదానిని నియంత్రించడానికి వెఱ్ఱిగా ప్రయత్నించే బదులు, దేవుడు బాధ్యత వహిస్తున్నాడని అంగీకరించడం ద్వారా మనం శాంతిని పొందవచ్చు. మన జీవితాల కోసం అతని సార్వభౌమ ప్రణాళిక మన అవగాహనను మించిపోయింది. మనం ఖాళీగా నిలబడి, ఆయనపై ఆధారపడినప్పుడు, ఆయన శాంతి మన హృదయాలను నింపుతుంది మరియు ఆయన మనలను...

 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. ‭Psalm 46:10 KJV‬ Devotional: This is continuation of yesterday's topic, FOCUS ON GOD. Here we explore Psalm 46:10; the verse is a powerful reminder of God’s sovereignty and our need to trust in Him. Here are a few devotional reflections based on this verse: 1: Be Still and Know God’s Peace: When life feels chaotic, and anxiety threatens to overwhelm us, Psalm 46:10 provides a calming directive: “Be still, and know that I am God.” The phrase “be still” can also be translated as “stand empty” or “be unoccupied.” It invites us to surrender our worries, fears, and striving. Instead of frantically trying to control everything, we can find peace by acknowledging that God is in charge. His sovereign plan for our lives surpasses our understanding. When we stand empty, relying on Him, His peace floods our hearts, and we recognize that He holds us securely in His hands. 2: God’s Splendor ...
