God Provides

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psalm 23:1

Today's Bible Reading: John 6:26-29.

In Genesis 13, Abram has become extremely wealthy in livestock, silver, and gold (v 1–2). But his growing abundance sparks tension between his herdsmen and Lot’s. Seeking peace, Abram generously offers Lot first choice of the land: “If you take the left, I will go to the right; if you go right, I will go to the left” (v 9).

This bold act of humility reveals Abram’s unwavering confidence in God’s provision. Though entitled to choose first, he values harmony over gain—trusting that God Himself will supply whatever he needs.

Lot selects the lush Jordan plain, leaving Abram in Canaan. Then God renews His promise: “Lift your eyes… northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever” (v 14–15).

Abram’s faith is honoured—not only with land, but with a covenant that will outlast generations. He settles near the terebinth trees of Mamre and builds an altar to the Lord (v. 18), a powerful gesture of gratitude and worship.

This passage urges us to trust God’s provision, even when it costs us something. Like Abram, we are called to choose people over possessions and respond to God’s faithfulness with thankful worship.

Prayer: Father, help me truly believe. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Another Day to Rejoice

This is the day the Lord has made . . .

Psalm 118:24

Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 118:21-24.

Psalm 118 is a song of praise, celebrating God's enduring mercy. In verse 24, we read: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” This verse reminds us that each day is a gift from God—an opportunity to live with joy and gratitude.

One simple way to live out this truth is to begin each day with a prayer of thanksgiving. Before our feet touch the floor, we can pause to reflect on God's blessings, and thank Him for the gift of a new day. This sets a positive tone and refocuses our hearts on serving God and others with purpose.

We can also look for moments to rejoice throughout the day. Even when circumstances are difficult, joy can still be found—in a kind word, a moment of peace, or a small act of grace. When we intentionally focus on the good, we train our hearts to see God’s hand in all things.

Finally, we can share our joy and gratitude with others. A cheerful spirit is contagious. By living with a thankful heart, we can uplift those around us, offering encouragement even when we ourselves may be struggling. Our attitude can become a quiet testimony of God’s faithfulness.

Psalm 118:24 invites us to embrace each day as a divine gift. By beginning with gratitude, seeking out joy, and sharing that joy with others, we honour God and live out His Word in everyday moments.

Prayer:  Dear Lord, thank You for this day and the gift of life. Help me face challenges with courage and see the blessings all around me. May I reflect Your love and share Your joy with others. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Glory of The Cross

God forbid that I should boast except

in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, . . .

Galatians 6:14

Today's Bible Reading: Galatians 6:11-18.

What glory is there in the cross? It was an instrument of torture and shame. Why did Paul glory in it? He gloried in it because the most selfless act ever performed by men or angels took place upon it. He saw-emanating from that rough, unartistic beam upon which the Son of God had been crucified—the radiant hope of the world, the end of the believer’s bondage to sin, and the love of God shed abroad in the hearts of men. A lone man dying on a cross did more to restore man’s lost harmony with God, his fellow-man, and himself, than the combined genius and power of earth’s mighty. With our finite limitations, we cannot fully comprehend the mystery of Christ’s atonement. We only know that all who come to the cross in simple, trusting faith lose all their guilty stains and find peace with God, and salvation.

Prayer: Like the Apostle Paul, Father, help me to glory in the cross of Jesus and more fully understand the tremendous meaning it has for me as a believer and for all who would come to its foot and kneel. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.
