Verse of the Day

The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land.

—Proverbs 10:30

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

This proverb's promise to ancient Israel is even truer for those of us who live on this side of Calvary and the empty tomb! As the apostle Paul declared:

...our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body (Philippians 3:20-21).

The righteous will never be uprooted from their true homeland, heaven, for no one and no power can steal this promised land from us. Neither can they corrupt it or destroy it!

My Prayer...

Father, thank you for declaring me righteous because of Jesus's atoning death and my obedient faith in him. Because of this gift of grace, I know I have been added to your eternal family and your homeland. Please have the Holy Spirit continually transform me to become more and more like him each day. I want to be righteous in all I say, think, and do for your glory as I await my promised home. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

WHEN BITTERNESS CLOUDS YOUR HOPE: FROM MARA TO JOY

WHEN BITTERNESS CLOUDS YOUR HOPE “Do not call me Naomi,” she replied. “Call me Mara,because the Almighty; has dealt quite bitterly with me. -Ruth 1:20(BSB) (20b Naomi means pleasant . 20 c Mara means bitter.) Naomi lost everything—her husband, her sons, her sense of purpose. She renamed herself Mara, meaning bitter, because that’s how deep the sorrow ran. And yet, even in her brokenness, she didn’t walk alone. God was already preparing redemption, even when she couldn’t see it. Beloved, grief may change your story, but it doesn’t cancel God’s promises. Even in the bitterness, He is moving. Your heart won’t stay Mara forever—joy is on the way! Stay hopeful! PRAYER POINT:  Abba Father, You see the places in me that have gone bitter. Thank You that You don’t leave me there. Restore hope where sorrow has settled.  AMEN.

HEALING FLOWS THROUGH HUMILITY

HEALING IN HUMILITY AND OBEDIENCE  And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? 2 Kings 5:13 (KJV) Naaman wanted a grand miracle, not a dip in a dirty river. Sometimes pride hides in our expectations of how God should move. Healing didn’t come through status or power, but through humility. The greatest breakthroughs often begin with surrender. Beloved, don’t let pride keep you from the healing God is offering. Even if the way feels small or strange, trust Him. The answer you need may come through unexpected obedience. PRAYER POINT:  Lord, teach me to obey even when I don’t understand. Break down my pride so I can receive all that You have for me. Let humility lead me into Your healing in Jesus’ name.  AMEN.

When Doubt Feels Safer Than Hope – Finding Faith Again in Christ

WHEN DOUBT FEELS SAFER THAN HOPE  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. John 20:25 (KJV) Doubt doesn’t always come from rebellion—it often comes from pain. Thomas had believed and hoped once. But after seeing Jesus crucified, he decided the safest thing to do was to stop hoping altogether. Sometimes, when the heart has been wounded, it feels easier not to believe at all unless you see! Does this resonate with you? Beloved, Jesus is not offended by your doubts. He meets you right where you are, gently offering proof of His love. Your doubt isn’t the end of the story—it might just be the place where faith can begin again. Seek Him and hear His voice.   PRAYER POINT:  Lord Jesus, I bring You the parts of me that struggle with my faith. Meet me with mercy as You did wit...
