Joy comes in the morning

“Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Psalm 30:5 (NLT)

There are moments in life when sorrow overwhelms us—when sickness touches us or someone we love, when failure feels final, or when circumstances seem impossible to overcome. In those seasons, tears may feel constant, and we may wonder if joy will ever return.

In the midst of sorrow, life can feel dark, heavy, and isolating. Yet Scripture reminds us that even though weeping may endure for a night, joy will come in the morning. The challenge is that during the endurance of sorrow, we often lose sight of the promise of joy.

Enduring sorrow and long-suffering is not weakness—it’s a virtue. Every human being on earth will face grief, but how we walk through it and how we hold onto God’s promise shapes the character being formed within us.

In sorrow, we may either crumble or rise as warriors. But the Bible assures us that sorrow is temporary—joy is coming.

One of the reasons we struggle in sorrow is because we forget the sovereignty of God. We attempt to replace His power with our own strength, and we interpret the future through the lens of our past. Instead, we must trust the God who is supernatural and almighty—the God who knows the end from the beginning, who hears the silent cry, and who answers before the question is fully formed.

If we expect God to work only in our way, we may wait endlessly. But when we surrender and allow Him to unfold His perfect plan—even through sorrow—we will see Him turn mourning into dancing, grief into praise, and sorrow into joy.

Do not let your season of sorrow become a playground for the enemy. Guard your thoughts. Guard your heart. Fix your eyes on Jesus, and you will see the goodness of God even in the valley.

In John 16:20, The Bible does not say your sorrow might be turned into joy—it says it will. There is deep assurance in that promise. Your tears are not the end of your story. Weeping is not your final destination—joy is when Jesus is with you.

Prayer

Lord, in seasons of sorrow, strengthen my faith. Help me trust Your sovereignty even when I do not understand Your timing. Remind me that joy is coming and that You are with me in every moment. Turn my mourning into joy and my weakness into strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The storm will not destroy you

“Yet now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.”

Acts 27:22 ESV

Paul was falsely accused by the Jews of causing trouble, though the Roman courts found no fault in him. As a Roman citizen, he appealed to stand trial before Emperor Caesar and was sent to Rome by ship with other prisoners and guards.

Soon after setting sail, a violent Northeaster storm struck, tossing the ship helplessly across the Mediterranean. In the midst of the chaos, God sent an angel to Paul, assuring him that though the ship would be destroyed, every one of the 276 people on board would survive. Strengthened by this promise, Paul encouraged everyone to eat and take heart after fourteen days without food.

As the storm raged on, the sailors sensed land and dropped anchors. At dawn, they tried to steer toward the shore, but the ship hit a sandbar and began to break apart. Yet, just as God had said, not one life was lost—some swam, others clung to planks, and all reached the shore safely.

This story reminds us that even in life’s fiercest storms, God’s word stands firm. Paul began that journey accused, rejected, and bound as a prisoner—but in the midst of destruction, he became a voice of faith and strength. What looked like a shipwreck turned into a testimony of divine preservation. The storm may have damaged the vessel, but it could not touch the lives God had marked for purpose.

So, do not be afraid of the storms that rise against you. Even when accusations, trials, or lies surround you, remember that God’s promises are stronger than the waves. The storm may shake you, but it will not destroy you. You will reach the other side safely. God will carry you through every breaking moment and bring you to the place He has destined for you.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my anchor in every storm. When life feels out of control, remind me that Your promises still stand.Help me trust that even through the wreckage, You are guiding me safely to shore. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Pain is a blessing

“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair.”

— 2 Corinthians 4:8 (ESV)

Many years ago, a group of people affected by leprosy would visit our home before Christmas, New Year, or Easter to seek alms and some help. They lived on the outskirts of our town, separated from others because their condition made them outcasts in society.

They came year after year, though their group grew smaller each time as some passed away. As a young girl, these visits often filled me with fear. I remember one particular visit vividly—a young father with leprosy came with his little son. My mother asked him about his friend who used to accompany him during previous visits.

With sadness in his eyes, he replied that his friend had been bitten by a rat one night while sleeping on the streets. Because he had lost sensation in his feet, he didn’t realize it until he began to bleed heavily. By the time others found him, he was taken to a government hospital—barely alive, having lost too much blood.

Though leprosy is now nearly eradicated in most parts of the world, that story remains deeply etched in my memory. It taught me something profound: what a blessing it is to feel pain. Without the experience of pain, we are only diminishing rather growing .

Leprosy is a disease caused by bacteria that damage the nerves and interfere with the body’s ability to sense pain. Because of this, those affected cannot feel touch, injury, or even severe wounds. How easily we take for granted the gift of pain—the very thing that protects us from harm.

Pain, though unpleasant, is a sign of life. It protects us, refines us, and often points us toward healing. Think of children who sometimes cry with leg pain during their growth spurts—it’s not to harm them, but to help them grow stronger.

In the same way, every one of us must face seasons of growing pains—emotional, spiritual, or physical. There is no truly successful person who has not walked through pain. Pain anchors us to our roots, deepens our faith, and shapes our character.

Job’s story reminds us of this truth. He was afflicted, mocked by friends, insulted by his wife, and lost everything—his wealth, fame, and family. Yet through it all, Job held firmly to his faith and declared, “I know that my Redeemer lives.” In the end, God restored him and blessed him with a double portion.

The Word of God assures us that your pain will not end in defeat. Your pain has a purpose—it draws you closer to God, strengthens your faith, and equips you to bring healing to others.

Scripture says that God is near to the brokenhearted. He hears the cry of the lonely, defends the widow, and cares for the fatherless. You are never alone in your pain. God will never allow you to endure more than you can bear. Whatever you are facing—whether through family struggles, friendships, loss, or illness—God will use it for His glory.

So remember, when God is on your side, even though you are afflicted on every side, you will not be crushed, perplexed, or driven to despair. This pain will turn out for your good.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of pain that reminds us we are alive and that You are near. Help me to see purpose in every trial and to trust that You are working all things for my good. Strengthen my heart, deepen my faith, and let my pain bring healing and hope to others.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Rejected by Evil but Reformed for good

“‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.’” Mark 12:10–11 (ESV)

On November 7, 2008, a three-story school building in Haiti collapsed. Nearly 93 people, most of them children, were killed, and more than 150 were injured. The builder, a preacher named Fortin Augustin, admitted that he had constructed the entire building by himself. He said he didn’t need an engineer because he believed he understood construction well enough.

But only an engineer truly knows how to lay a strong foundation. A structure can only endure if its base is firm and rightly aligned. The cornerstone is crucial—it determines the building’s strength, direction, and stability.

A cornerstone is not just any stone; it is chosen with great care. Masons select it deliberately because it must be one of the largest, most solid, and most perfectly shaped stones in the structure. Everything else rests upon it.

In the same way, our Heavenly Father has chosen Jesus Christ to be the firm foundation upon which we can build our lives. When we build upon Him, we build on solid rock. So when the rains fall, the floods rise, and the winds beat against the house, it will stand firm because its foundation is secure. But those who build on sand—on worldly wisdom or human strength—will see their foundation crumble when the storms of life come.

As you build your family, your plans, your work, your dreams, and your faith upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, you will remain unshaken.

The same people who once despised or rejected you will one day witness the Lord’s marvelous work in your life. What they once called failure, God will turn into testimony.

Do not be discouraged by rejection. God uses rejection as a tool of redirection—to shape, strengthen, and prepare you for His greater purpose. He will lift you up and make you a vessel of honor in your family, among your friends, and in your ministry.

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

You may not yet see the full picture, but you are in the process of being built into something beautiful and strong by God’s hands. Thank Him even for rejection—it means He is setting you apart for something greater. Remember, even Jesus Himself was rejected, but that rejection became the doorway to our salvation.

Rejection is not your end—it is the beginning of God’s marvelous work in your life. What others meant for harm, God will use for your good.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my Cornerstone and firm foundation. When rejection or disappointment comes, help me to trust that You are working behind the scenes to build something beautiful in my life. Strengthen my faith to remain steady through every storm and help me see Your hand in all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Victory belongs to the Lord

“The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.”

Proverbs 21:31 (ESV)

In ancient times, horses were prepared for battle alongside soldiers. These were not ordinary animals—they were strong, stable, and full of stamina, trained to endure the fiercest of fights. Yet Scripture reminds us that no matter how much strength or power one displays, the victory belongs to the Lord.

Many years ago, when I moved to a new country, I was desperately searching for a job. I gave several interviews, traveled to meet people, and kept preparing myself. During that season, I also gave birth to my child—still learning, upskilling, and trying to stay hopeful. There were many rejections and disappointments, yet I continued to pray and press forward.

At one point, I almost got a job offer, but at the last moment, the company informed me they didn’t have the budget to process my employment. I was heartbroken but continued to trust that the Lord was preparing something better.

A week later, I received another call for an interview. Honestly, I thought it would be yet another rejection. But that morning, the Lord gave me this verse—Proverbs 21:31. As I read it, a wave of joy and confidence filled me. I wrote the verse boldly on my whiteboard and told my husband with faith, “This job is going to be mine.”

On the day of the interview, a heavy snowstorm hit. Still, I managed to get there by taxi. To my surprise, the questions were much simpler than what I had prepared for. The interviewers were kind and warm, and as I sat with them, I sensed the favor of God resting upon me. Before I even left the building, one of them called the recruiter and said, “She’s hired.”

That victory was special—it came during a severe economic recession in the U.S. when many were losing jobs and homes. Yet God opened a door for me. He has faithfully kept me in that same team for over fifteen years and still counting. Truly, the victory belongs to the Lord.

Recently, I watched the victory speech of a woman cricketer who had just won the first-ever World Cup in her country’s history. She looked joyful—smiling, singing, and dancing in her older videos—but during her speech, tears streamed down her face. She shared how she had battled anxiety for years. Though she appeared strong on the outside, the real battle had been within. She was dropped from tournaments, her form declined, and her size made her an unlikely champion. Yet through it all, she built resilience.

She didn’t just win a championship; she conquered her greatest enemy—anxiety. While she prepared physically and mentally for the match, the true victory came from the Lord who helped her overcome her fears.

You too may be preparing for a battle—emotional, physical, or spiritual. Be encouraged today: the victory is yours in the Lord.

If you have been waiting long, facing rejection after rejection, and battling anxiety or hopelessness, remember—the victory is still yours.

Keep doing what you must do. Prepare, persevere, and trust that when the Lord shows up, He will give you victory in everything you put your hands to.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You that every battle I face belongs to You. Help me to prepare with faith, stand firm in hope, and trust Your perfect timing. Let Your strength carry me through every challenge, and may every victory in my life bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Need More? Do More

“‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

Luke 19:26 (ESV)

God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good.

After six days of creation, God looked at all His work and was pleased. He created man in His own image, formed him from the dust of the ground, breathed into him the breath of life, and commanded him to work and keep the garden He had made.

The irony is that God gave authority to man over everything, yet He still commanded him to work. Throughout Scripture, we never find an idle man whom God used or blessed.

When God called Abraham and promised to bless and multiply him, Abraham still worked diligently. His increase was the fruit of faith combined with effort. Everything God places into our hands must be put to work.

Even Jesus, the Son of God, demonstrated that idleness is not what God expects of us. He worked faithfully in His Father’s business. When choosing His disciples, He didn’t call idle men—He called fishermen, tax collectors, and laborers—men already engaged in their work.

In the parable of the minas, Jesus teaches that every gift placed in our hands must bear fruit. Before traveling to a far country, a nobleman entrusted his servants with money, commanding them to “Engage in business until I return.” When he came back, one servant had gained ten minas more, another five, but one returned only what was given, making excuses for his inaction. The nobleman was angry and ordered that the mina be taken from him and given to the one who had ten. He rebuked the idle servant for not even depositing it in the bank to earn interest.

God expects the same of us. Too often, we fail to recognize the gifts He has placed in our hands. Those who are busy using what God has given rarely have time to criticize others. It is usually the idle who find fault with those who are fruitful.

The person who invests their time and effort in their family, business, ministry, or calling focuses on growth, excellence, and stewardship. While some complain, the diligent keep working—and God rewards them with more.

God sees the heart and knows the intent behind every action. When your ways please Him, and when you are faithful with the little you have, He will multiply it.

Your gifts and talents will be recognized.

Your ministry will grow and flourish.

Your business will thrive.

For our God is a God of increase. He multiplies what He places in our hands when we acknowledge and use it. But if we do nothing with the gifts He’s entrusted to us, Scripture warns that even what we have will be taken away.

Stop making excuses. Focus on what is given to you, put it to work, and glorify God through it.

If you are breathing and in your right mind, God is waiting for you to act and respond to the gifts and talents He has placed within you.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts and talents You’ve placed in my hands. Help me to be faithful in using them for Your glory. Teach me diligence, discipline, and humility as I labor in Your purpose. May all that I do bear fruit that honors You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God will reveal himself to us

“And the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord.”

1 Samuel 3:21 (ESV)

In the Bible, we read that God spoke and revealed Himself in supernatural ways.

Moses encountered God in a burning bush. Abraham was visited by God and angels. Daniel saw the fourth person in the fire. Gideon’s parents encountered an angel. Samson’s parents saw the angel of the Lord. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was visited by an angel. Supernatural experiences seemed quite common in those days.

Even today, we hear testimonies of divine encounters. In persecuted countries where sharing the gospel is strictly prohibited, with no access to churches or Bibles, we still hear stories of Jesus reaching out to people in their distress — in prisons, in camps, and in hiding places — transforming lives through His supernatural presence and power.

Not all of us may have experienced such encounters, yet every soul who has given their life to Jesus has had a personal encounter with Him through the Word of God.

Without that encounter with the Word, true salvation is not yet attained.

We may not see Jesus face-to-face, but we can encounter Him every day through His Word.

John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

And verse 14 declares, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”

It is wonderful to pray daily, but when you need direction, the only sure way is through Scripture. Reading the Bible is like using an old paper map—you must study it carefully to know where you are going. When you lose your way, you look back at the map to reroute yourself and get back on track.

The purpose of the map is to help you reach your destination. The map does not lie or change direction. Likewise, when you follow God’s Word step by step, your path becomes clear. You gain confidence and peace in knowing where you are headed.

You may have read a verse a hundred times like any other line of text, but when God chooses to reveal Himself, suddenly the eyes of your heart are opened. Your spirit rejoices, peace fills your soul, and confidence rises within you — that’s the revelation of God Himself through His Word, through Jesus Christ.

There is no need to pay fortunetellers to know your future.

You don’t need to stay confused about your situation, nor do you need to feel bound by evil spirits.

When you immerse yourself in the Word of God, Jesus shows up with an answer that convinces, satisfies, heals, and delivers.

Pray and read the Word of God. Memorize the Scriptures. Meditate on them day and night.

Make it a habit to dwell in His Word, and God Himself will reveal His presence through it.

You can experience Jesus day and night and never feel alone in facing life’s battles.

For the Bible says, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

Every single word is breathed by the Spirit of God. Therefore, when you open your Bible, the Holy Spirit whispers truth to your heart and Jesus draws near to you.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for revealing Yourself through Your living Word. Open the eyes of my heart to see You more clearly and to understand Your truth deeply. May I encounter You more and more through Scripture and walk in the light of Your truth every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We are ambassadors for Christ

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20–21 (ESV)

It is an undeniable fact that we deal with two different kingdoms—two different worlds. One is filled with light, joy, and peace, while the other is filled with fear, pain, and darkness.

Every day we tend to oscillate between these two kingdoms—the dark and the light.

The dark kingdom can be very attractive, I don’t see much effort needed to remain in darkness—the Scripture says that we live in a fallen world where the path is wider, the access is easy, and the trap is sure.

Whereas, to walk in the light, we must pick up our own cross and deny ourselves. Yes, the path is narrow, and we face struggles along the way, but when we choose the light, there is peace through it all.

In this world, every country has its own ambassadors—citizens who represent their nation, speak on its behalf, and act in its best interest. They are chosen carefully, expected to dress well, communicate effectively, and maintain integrity in both their personal and professional lives.

The Bible says that we are ambassadors for Christ and that our citizenship is in heaven, which means we represent the heavenly kingdom.we are a chosen generation, and that the enemy wages war against our souls.

It is impossible to live in darkness and still represent Christ. You cannot serve two masters or be loyal to both. Darkness and light cannot coexist —you must quit one and serve the other.

Living in darkness simply means living in sin, and sin represents ignorance of God or the rejection of Him. Darkness hides things—sins we don’t want others to see.

The Bible mentions sin as,

“For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.”

Mark 7:21–22 (ESV)

When Christ’s light comes, He exposes sin. When we repent, Christ’s light shines through us, expelling the darkness and bringing us into the kingdom of His marvelous light.

If you are making a decision to quit, quit darkness and walk into the door of glorious light that Christ has kept open for you. When you do so you become a new creation in Christ, you are given a new name. You are clothed with a new garment and given a new identity as the ambassadors of Christ.

You can remain in this marvelous light only when you read the manifesto of the Kingdom of Heaven—that is, the Bible.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Psalm 119:105

May you remind yourself that you will be lost without the Word of God leading you.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for calling me out of darkness into Your marvelous light. Help me to walk daily as Your ambassador, clothed in righteousness and guided by Your word. Let Your light shine through me so others may see You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

No One Shall Be Able To Stand Against You

“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.”

Joshua 1:5 ESV

Joshua grew up witnessing the hand of God over His people. From a young age, he was actively involved in helping Moses on the mission to lead the Israelites into the promised land.

Now that Moses was dead, Joshua was commanded to step up and take his place. Moses was known as a mighty man of wisdom, but now the mantle was falling on Joshua. Naturally, he might have been frightened or discouraged after the death of his mentor and leader. God spoke to Joshua multiple times, giving him courage and strength.

So many thoughts must have crossed Joshua’s mind as he considered taking Moses’ role. These were not easy people to lead. They were tough, often dissatisfied, ungrateful, and complaining. Managing them was a great task. Helping from behind the scenes was one thing, but being at the front lines brought a whole new level of stress.

The loss of a well-wisher and father figure may have left Joshua feeling emotionally weak. He had spent more time with Moses than with his own father. The absence of Moses’ voice, the lack of his gentle encouragement, must have weighed heavily on him.

But in that moment of grief, God stepped in to comfort and encourage Joshua: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid… for I will be with you wherever you go.” With that assurance, Joshua rose to the mission of leading God’s people.

What a great assurance from a great God! And this promise extends to you as well. You and Joshua are equal in God’s sight. He understands your season—whether joy, loss, grief, or transition.

You may be strong and capable, yet life may bring moments that drain your strength. You may have handled great responsibilities before, but now you may feel weighed down by insecurities, trauma, or the absence of encouragement you once relied on. Maybe you miss the voice or the embrace of someone who gave you strength.

But do not be discouraged. The Spirit of God is your greatest Comforter, and the Word of God reminds you of His promises: No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life, and the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go, and He will never leave you not forsake you.

The responsibilities you carry—the family you provide for, the business you manage, the project you are called to lead—will only draw out the best in you.

God told Joshua to take courage, to meditate on His Word day and night, and not to turn to the right or the left. When he obeyed, God promised him good success. The same instruction applies to us today for a successful life.

Joshua’s full potential was not revealed until he faced such a situation. In the same way, your disappointments, losses, and failures are shaping you to bring out your fullest potential.

Do not forget—no one will stand against you all the days of your life. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for reminding me that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Remove every fear, every insecurity, and every doubt. I believe that in every battle I face, You are with me, and You will give me victory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You Are No More Called Forsaken

“You shall no more be termed Forsaken,and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her.”

Isaiah 62:4

Jesus was invited to one of the Pharisees’ houses. A Pharisee is someone involved in studying and interpreting the law given to Moses. These Pharisees were not big fans of Jesus, and most of them were against His teaching because they thought Jesus was blaspheming against the God of Abraham. The Bible even points out that they plotted against Him.

Someone from such an orthodox community inviting Jesus to dinner must have been a very secret act. If the other Pharisees knew about it, the one who invited Him would be in trouble or even cast out from the synagogue. He was risking his future to invite Jesus into his home.

As Jesus reclined at the table, a sinful woman—likely a prostitute—heard that Jesus was in the Pharisee’s house. She showed up with an alabaster jar of perfume. She knelt before Jesus and began to wet His feet with her tears, wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed His feet, and anointed them with the perfume.

The Pharisee who invited Jesus wondered to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would have known what kind of woman she is, and He would not have allowed her to touch Him.” But Jesus knew his thoughts and told Simon a story: the one whose larger debt is forgiven will love more than the one who had a smaller debt forgiven.

This woman showed deep love for Jesus. Out of compassion, Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven. Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Those who were at the table began to wonder, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

The story shows that Jesus came for sinners like you and me. The sinful woman’s heart was searching—maybe for true love, maybe for someone who could understand her, someone who truly knew her. When she saw Jesus, her search ended in repentance.

She surrendered everything she held as her identity. The expensive perfume, which was a statement of wealth and also used to lure men into immorality, she poured at His feet. Her hair, which was considered a woman’s glory, she let down to wipe His feet.

As she brought down everything she had, she found forgiveness at the feet of Jesus. Her tears were tokens of gratitude, her kisses on His feet showed that she had finally found the Lover of her soul. This woman traded all she had at the feet of Jesus.

Whatever you search for—love, forgiveness, hope, or a future—in the presence of Jesus you will find a remedy for your misery, healing for a broken soul, and peace in the middle of chaos.

But Jesus cannot fix what you still hold back. That alabaster jar—your pride, your glory, your desires, your identity—has to be broken as an expression of repentance. In that breaking begins the new chapter of your life.

This next chapter will be unlike anything you could have imagined, beyond what your heart could have received, because it is written by the sovereign hand of God.

God is close to the brokenhearted. If you are broken by people, by circumstances, or by situations, be encouraged—God will work all things out for your good.

Your name will no longer be labeled by your past, but will be renamed as Child of the Most High.

Your life will no longer remain desolate and forsaken, but will be fully restored and made new.

Prayer

I come before You with my brokenness, my failures, and my search for meaning. Help me to trade everything I hold onto for the life You have prepared for me. Thank You for calling me not forsaken, but Your delight, and for giving me a new name as Your child. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
