Good morning and Happy Saturday 🌞
Stay calm! There is so much turmoil in the world. It was prophesied thousands of years ago. We know what to expect.
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24: 1-14 (NIV).

God doesn’t change His standards and expectations to meet our desires. We can learn so much from His dealings with ancient Israel. He is a God who rewards and disciplines nations while giving them clear standards for prosperity.
“Then the Lord appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.”
2 Chronicles 7: 12-14 (ESV).
What a powerful promise for us today!
Will you join me right now? Let’s humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways so that He will...
“My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.
Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves…”
James 1:19-25 (CSB).

Today’s challenge: Pick ONE thing from these verses and apply it before the day ends.
Would you like share your challenge? What are you committing to apply right now? Mine is being too quick to speak and not listening enough.
