Verse of the Day

Verse of the Day || 10.28.2024

But some troublemakers said, "How can this fellow save us?" They despised him and brought him no gifts. But Saul kept silent. — 1 Samuel 10:27

Thoughts on Today's Verse....

Some folks didn't want Saul to serve them as King because of his simple background and non-aristocratic family history. So often, we tend to do the same thing today — label people and discount their ability to lead God's people or serve in God's Kingdom because of their heritage or past. God, however, doesn't look at a person's pedigree. He searches their heart. So, dear leader, please stick close to the Lord, because you will be criticized. But please, don't react to every little criticism or slight; devote yourself to serving the Lord boldly. And to those of us called to follow God's leaders, let's refuse to dismiss someone as God's leader because she or he lacks some noble pedigree. Remember the vast variety of people God used in the stories we find in the Bible. Trust that our God will be just as creative in his choice of people he wants to lead us in our day.

Prayer...

Dear God, please forgive me for the times I doubted your selection of leaders. Please give me, along with the congregation, the ability to discern who your leaders are in our midst and not judge them on surface issues. Please provide them with the courage to lead unselfishly and faithfully. In Jesus' name. Amen.

FAITH THAT CONQUERS | Jan. 04.2025 - Numbers 13:30 "Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, 'We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.'" In this verse, Caleb's faith stands as a bold declaration against fear and doubt. While others saw giants and obstacles, Caleb saw God's promise and power. His confidence was not in human strength but in God's faithfulness. Today, you may face "giants" in your life—overwhelming challenges or seemingly impossible situations. Let Caleb’s faith inspire you to trust in God’s promises. Silence the voices of fear and declare, "With God, I can certainly overcome!" Take a step of faith today, trusting that the same God who promised victory to Caleb is with you. #FaithOverFear #GodsPromises #BeLikeCaleb
