In a world where we often see human leaders grasp for power and people living as if they are masters of their own destiny, the Scriptures provide a counterpoint, reminding us that the Lord reigns over everything. These passages call us to reflect on God’s rightful place as the sovereign King and challenge us to trust in His rule even when we do not fully understand His ways.
| The Daily WordNow we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5: 14-24 KJV (11624) |
Word of Wisdom
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Luke 10:30 KJV
The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. But in order for him to accomplish his goals he needs something to work with. He will attempt to use your weakness against you. You see, it started with the man going DOWN to Jericho. Away from his safe place, Jerusalem. In other words, when you start going down in your prayer life and stop spending time in the word of God, when you forsake the assembling of the righteous, when you stop believing you can do better, the enemy will use this against you. The end result, like the certain man, is the fall. Meaning failure. The enemy will send his choice assassins to destroy you. To make sure whatever you do fails. But you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. So hold on to that truth!
I want to encourage you to continue reading the rest of the story. There is hope. In your worst moments of defeat God has a way of sending redemption. He has already sent His Son to pay the bills you have accumulated. Just trust the process of deliverance.

Acts 8:4-8 (kjv)
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.
The Trinity

The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the central teachings of Christianity, affirming that God exists as three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—while remaining one in essence. This mystery of the Triune God, though beyond human comprehension, is fundamental to understanding God's nature, His work in creation, salvation, and ongoing relationship with humanity. This doctrine upholds the unity of God while accounting for the distinct personal roles and relationships within the Godhead.
