It Is Noted

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt.’” 1 Samuel 15:2 (ESV)

How strong is your memory when it comes to injustice—betrayal, rejection, or the wrongs done to you by people or even entire communities?

There is a reason God says, “Vengeance is Mine.” When we replay mistreatment in our minds, we slowly lose our peace. Dwelling on wounds breeds bitterness, and bitterness hinders blessing. What we are meant to release, we often rehearse. But when we hand these matters over to God, we step out of His business and back into our place of rest. He will handle it—thoroughly and perfectly—in His own way.

This passage reminds us that God remembers every detail and every wrongdoing committed against His people. After the Israelites were brought out of Egypt, they were attacked at Rephidim, near Mount Sinai. The Amalekites ambushed them from behind, targeting the weak and the weary—a cruel and unprovoked act. Though Israel won the battle, Scripture says God noted what Amalek had done.

Approximately 420 years later, during the reign of King Saul, God addressed that offense. What man might forget, God did not. He commanded that the remembrance of Amalek be blotted out from under heaven. Time did not erase the injustice. God’s justice was simply waiting for its appointed moment.

The journey out of Egypt was long and exhausting. The people were seeking rest, healing, and direction, yet Amalek attacked without mercy. Though Israel survived, heaven recorded the act.

We may not know how our parents or grandparents were mistreated, or what injustices were buried in silence, but a sovereign God remembers what generations forget—and He repays with perfect justice.

Israel was not perfect during their journey, nor in the centuries that followed. Yet God’s response was not canceled—only delayed. In His timing, justice was executed. God remembers every plot, every plan, and every unseen attack against you. He hears every word spoken in your absence and sees every hidden intention.

So rejoice even when you are humiliated. Give thanks when you are betrayed. Do not rush God to bring judgment—His timing is flawless. The greatest vengeance you can exercise is not retaliation, but peace. Be filled with the joy of the Lord. Pray for those who have wronged you. God is merciful, yet He is also just—and He never forgets.

Prayer:

Lord, teach me to trust You with every injustice and every wound. Help me release bitterness and guard my peace. Fill my heart with joy, faith, and confidence in Your perfect justice. I choose to rest in You, knowing that You remember, You see, and You will act in Your time. Amen.

Lower your nets in faith

“And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.””

Luke 5:5 ESV

Many of may be grew up in church, hearing the Word of God, or being raised in families that spoke about Jesus day and night. Yet when God instructs us to do something, many times we hesitate. Fear, uncertainty, or even too much knowledge in a particular area can cause us to resist His instruction.

But Scripture teaches us to lay down our self-intuition in exchange for a harvest of blessings.

In this passage, many people were gathered, waiting to hear Jesus speak. Peter was washing his nets after toiling all night, having caught nothing. Though exhausted and disappointed, his night had produced no results.

Jesus asked Simon to take Him a little farther from the shore. He sat in the boat and taught the crowd. When Jesus finished preaching, He instructed Simon to put out into deep water and lower the nets.

Simon responded honestly: they had worked all night, were weary, and caught nothing. Yet on the ground of Jesus’ word, he chose to obey.

When Simon lowered the nets, he caught such a great number of fish that the nets began to break, and he had to call for help.

At the word of Jesus, an assignment moved from emptiness to fulfillment.

Simon was a professional fisherman—skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable. He knew when and where to cast nets. He was fully aware that the place Jesus asked him to fish was the same place where he had labored all night without success. Logically, trying again seemed like a waste of time.

Yet Simon laid aside his expertise and took Jesus’ word seriously—placing it above his own understanding and professional knowledge. His obedience was not in vain.

Simon was not disappointed for believing and moving in faith. He not only lowered his nets, but also lowered his “I know” attitude, and that humility led to a breakthrough beyond measure.

The Word of God encourages us that in seasons of exhaustion, empty labor, and fruitless effort, the voice of God will satisfy us from the inside out.

Jesus alone can make the impossible possible. He calls life into emptiness, fills it with peace and joy, and transforms barren situations into favorable ones.

In any area of your life where God instructs you to lower your net—do not hesitate, or you may miss a great harvest of blessing. There are moments in the Kingdom of God when obedience may make us look foolish, but the wisdom of God always produces results.

There is no history of disappointment in trusting Jesus.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, help me to lay down my understanding and trust Your word above my own knowledge. Give me the grace to obey, even when it doesn’t make sense. Teach me to lower my nets in faith, knowing that You alone turn emptiness into abundance. Amen.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made

“I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well.”

Psalm 139:14 ESV

There are organizations that announce a “most beautiful face of the year,” measuring beauty by jawlines, symmetry, angles, proportions, and features. One face is celebrated one year, only to be replaced the next. And after a few years, that once-famous face is forgotten.

This beauty is defined by human standards—standards created by people who themselves have flaws. It saddens me that imperfect humans confidently determine who is considered “the most beautiful.” What is celebrated today is easily forgotten tomorrow.

But the Bible tells a different story. God declares that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. That means you are not an accident. God took His time crafting you—designing you with intention, purpose, and divine perfection. This perfection is not human-defined; it is God-defined. He formed your innermost being and knitted you together in your mother’s womb.

Psalm 139 reveals how deeply God knows us—not just our internal design but also our entire journey. He knows our thoughts before we speak them. He understands every detail of our lives. This revelation is almost too wonderful to comprehend.

Just as a car must be taken back to its manufacturer for repair, the Bible encourages us to return to our Creator with our flaws, weaknesses, and broken places. Only He knows how to restore what He designed.

Human-defined value fades. God-defined value lasts into eternity.

When people measure your worth by social status, appearance, color, race, or background, remember this truth:

God intricately formed you for His purpose and His will.

When the disciples saw the man born blind, they asked Jesus if his condition was a result of his own sin or his parents’ sin. Jesus answered:

“It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.”

John 9:3 ESV

Every single person on this earth carries weight in God’s kingdom and has the privilege of displaying His glory. You are created in God’s likeness—handcrafted by the Creator Himself. Your name is engraved on His palms.

In every circumstance, hold this truth close:

You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Prayer

Father, thank You for creating me with purpose, intention, and divine design. Help me see myself through Your eyes and not through the fading standards of this world.. Remind me daily that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. May my life reflect Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Nothing Will Overwhelm You

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,and the flame shall not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2 ESV

Hogenakkal is a place on the Tamil Nadu–Karnataka border,in India, known for its beautiful waterfalls and scenic views. The government later built a crocodile rehabilitation and rescue center there, so the area naturally had many crocodiles. Today there are safety measures, but back in the 1990s, things were not as secure.

During that time, our family visited the area for a short trip. It was a season of heavy rainfall, the water currents were fierce, and even the riverbanks were overflowing. Yet crowds of tourists still flocked to the place.

There was a famous coracle boat ride that took visitors close to the waterfalls for sightseeing. But it came with a risk—especially during that dangerous season. Many tourists ignored the warnings of the officials, and people were not disciplined enough to obey safety instructions.

My dad, being very curious and adventurous, wanted all seven of us to go together on one boat. My mother disagreed, but my dad insisted. The boatman firmly refused and finally explained why.

Just a few days earlier, a tragic incident had taken place. A couple with their infant—less than a year old—and a few others were on a coracle ride. At one point, the boat slowed down, and a massive crocodile approached, attempting to capsize it. The animal was in full attack mode. Panic erupted. The boatman, experienced but terrified, told them that the crocodile would not back away without taking something—and suggested throwing the baby into the water so the rest could survive.

The parents refused, but time was running out. If the boat capsized, everyone would drown or be dragged under. In the chaos and pressure from others, the baby was thrown into the water. The crocodile took the child, and the rest were saved. It was a horrifying event that shook the entire area.

After hearing this, my dad dropped the idea of the long scenic ride and took us instead on the backwater route. It was less thrilling, but at least we enjoyed it without fear gripping our hearts.

When I think about that story now, one thing stands out: in moments of crisis, even your closest people—your own flesh and blood—may abandon you out of fear or self-preservation. People who promised to stand with you may suddenly step back. Human strength fails, human loyalty falters, and human courage collapses under pressure.

But this Scripture comes as a powerful encouragement: we have a God who does not abandon us.

When you walk through raging waters, He walks with you.

When you face consuming fire, He stands beside you.

He doesn’t just promise deliverance—He promises His presence.

At some point in life, all of us walk a path where no one can go with us. The waters roar. The flames rise. The journey feels lonely. Yet this verse is God’s assurance to your heart: You are never alone.

God will not throw you into deep waters and leave you there.

He is your lifeguard—guiding, carrying, and covering you.

He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire, and He will be with you.

The flames will not consume you.

God never promised a life without trials, but He promised His unfailing presence in every season—highs and lows, tears and joy, victories and failures. And the proof is He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, to rescue you from every harm.

Be encouraged today: Jesus is with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Prayer

Father, thank You for being my refuge in deep waters and my shield in the fire. When fear rises and storms surround me, remind me that You are with me and will never abandon me. Strengthen my heart to trust Your presence, Your protection, and Your promises. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

You Are The One Called To Do This

“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,to pluck up and to break down,to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”

Jeremiah 1:9–10 ESV

Recently, I developed an interest in growing indoor plants. I ordered a palm tree online from another state, and honestly, I wondered if it would even survive—after all, it arrived in a box. But to my surprise, the plant grew bushy, healthy, and taller day by day. It was receiving the perfect balance of light, water, and nutrients. It grew so well that I had to move it into a bigger pot, and even then, it continued to thrive.

But eventually, I noticed something troubling. The plant that once had deep green leaves began turning pale. The leaf tips were drying. It was still growing, yet silently weakening. When spring arrived, I decided to repot it. That’s when I found the issue—a decaying root. One dying root was slowly affecting the rest, blocking proper nutrient absorption and secretly damaging what appeared beautiful and strong on the outside.

During the repotting, I uprooted the plant, washed the roots with fresh water, removed the dried branches, pruned the leaves, replanted it in nutrient-rich soil, and treated it with protective spray. As always, I prayed over the plant I loved and longed to see flourish.

Now, this summer, I see a new, healthy branch rising from the soil—a beautiful sign of renewal. I pray it continues to thrive and survive the winter ahead.

The Word of God reminds us that He has called us to make a difference for His name’s sake.

You are in that family, in that office, in that hospital, in that school, in that church, and in that situation to be God’s mouthpiece. He has chosen you to speak, to stand, and to participate in divine “damage control.”

He told Jeremiah that he was appointed to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant. God spoke these words to strengthen Jeremiah because the message he carried would not be welcomed by many. People would disagree, oppose, and resist—but Jeremiah still had to speak so that evil could be uprooted and truth could be planted.

In the same way, God will use you right where you are to bring warning, healing, restoration, and spiritual health.

You may be the only one who can warn your child and help uproot harmful behaviors.

You may be the only one who can bring comfort and healing to your colleagues.

You may be the only one who can stand up and oppose what contradicts the Word of God.

You may be the only one who can shift the atmosphere in your environment.

You may be the only one who can pray, carry, and plant the good news in the lives of those walking in darkness.

Your words carry power, authority, and God’s message. Do not stay silent where you are called to speak. He has chosen and equipped you for such a time as this—to uproot, to build, and to plant His truth. He trusts you with the responsibility of representing His Kingdom.

You are the one God will use to bring that move, that change, that holy transformation.

Prayer

Father, thank You for calling and equipping me to speak Your truth. Uproot anything in my life that hinders growth, and plant within me a bold, obedient, and faithful spirit. Use my words to bring healing, warning, restoration, and hope to those around me. Make me a vessel of Your Kingdom wherever I stand. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

No One Can Stop Your Breakthrough

“Let them know that this is your hand; you, O Lord, have done it!”

Psalm 109:27 ESV

When your time comes for a breakthrough, nobody can stop it. In fact, people, situations—and even animals—will work on your behalf when God has ordained it.

This is the story of a young man named Saul, from the humble and least tribe of Benjamin, whom God chose to appoint as king.

Saul lost his father’s donkeys, and his father asked him to go search for them. In the process of looking for the animals, Saul wandered far from home and lost his way. Wanting to return, he was persuaded by his servant to first seek the prophet in the city—the man whose words always came to pass.

As they climbed the hill toward the city, they met women who told them to hurry, for the man of God had just gone ahead to the high place to offer sacrifice. Only those invited could meet him and eat with him. In other words, if Saul missed Samuel now, he might not get another opportunity that day.

But while Saul was going up the hill, Samuel was coming down the hill. Not knowing who he was speaking to, Saul asked Samuel where the seer’s house was.

Yet the day before Saul ever arrived, God had already spoken to Samuel about him—telling him that He was sending a man from Benjamin to be anointed king. Samuel had even set aside the special portion of food for Saul before he ever met him.

The moment Samuel saw Saul, God confirmed that this was the man to be anointed.

Samuel invited Saul to go ahead of him to the high place, to eat with the people, and assured him that the donkeys lost three days earlier had already been found. Saul hesitated, struggling with low self-worth because he came from the least tribe, but Samuel still honored him.

At the high place, Samuel seated Saul among thirty chosen men and asked the servant to bring the best portion of food—the portion set aside even before Samuel laid eyes on Saul.

The next morning, Samuel took Saul to the rooftop and anointed him king. The donkeys were no longer the issue; God had already taken care of them.

Saul thought he was searching for lost donkeys, but God was leading him into his destiny. Only God can orchestrate something like this: Saul had to lose the donkeys, lose his way, walk into a city at the exact moment Samuel was walking down—every detail divinely aligned. Samuel already knew about Saul. The meal was already prepared. Heaven was already moving.

The Word of God encourages you today: you may feel lost, uncertain, or unsure of what to do next. Do not be anxious. God will make a way where there seems to be no way. You may have lost something—or everything—for the very purpose of God’s plan being fulfilled.

Your loss, your time, your people, your place, your season—everything will align to execute God’s purpose in your life. The crisis you are facing will not end your story; it will uncover God’s greater plan for you.

Saul made the right move in responding to Samuel. Samuel, in turn, looked at Saul and delivered God’s message.

May you make the right move that aligns with the plan of God for your life.

Prayer

Father, I thank You that nothing in my life is wasted. Even what I lose, You use. Lead me into the places and moments You have prepared for me. Help me trust Your timing, Your provision, and Your direction. Open my eyes to see the steps I need to take, and let Your purpose be fulfilled in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Cleanse. Renew. Restore.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.”

Psalm 51:10–12 ESV

This song was written by David—the one known as a man after God’s own heart. His life was a testimony from a young age. The Lord led him from shepherding sheep to ruling as a king. He was a man with strength, wisdom, favor, and honor. His life looked like something anyone would admire or desire.

No one could stand against him, and his name spread far. There was reverence wherever he went. This God-fearing man, who loved the Lord and sought Him for everything, fell face down into sin and committed adultery.

And not just adultery—he planned and covered up the murder of the woman’s husband. Until God exposed his sin through the prophet Nathan, David lived without conviction or guilt.

This passage shows the depth of true repentance—the longing to be cleansed and forgiven. Anyone can fall—believers, servants of God, even those in ministry. You hear the stories, you see the headlines. It is heartbreaking, but what’s even more heartbreaking is when someone cannot rise again from the fall.

David was not perfect—but what set him apart was his heart. He had a heart of repentance and gratitude. He knew everything he ever did was by the Spirit of God. And when he sinned, he recognized that he had grieved the Holy Spirit. His prayer was raw, honest, and without any mask.

His cry was simple:

Cleanse. Renew. Restore.

The absence of any of these will leave a person in fear, heaviness, and anxiety.

Sin destroys peace. Many are tormented because of guilt, regret, and the inability to bounce back. The enemy waits for such moments. He uses sin to chain you with guilt and keep you from your God-given purpose.

Yet David is a powerful example of someone who rose again. He committed one of the greatest sins of his life, betraying God despite all His goodness. But David also knew something important: God hates sin, but God is merciful.

The Word of God reminds you that no matter how great the sin, God’s mercy can reach beyond it. Instead of dying inside, cry out for cleansing. Ask Him to renew your spirit and revive your soul. As you believe in His grace and mercy, He will break guilt and restore you.

This is the very reason Jesus came—He shed His blood and gave His life so you could live free. When you remain in guilt and the consciousness of sin, you are forgetting the very purpose of the cross.

You are precious in God’s sight.

He loves you deeply.

And He wants you free.

Prayer

Lord, create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit. Restore my joy and silence every voice of guilt. Thank You for Your mercy and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let The Weak Say I am Strong

“Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am a warrior.’”

Joel 3:10 (ESV)

Only God can take a shepherd boy and make him a king, a fisherman and make him a preacher, a persecutor and make him a teacher, and a doubter and make him a miracle-worker. In every situation, God used the rejected, the humble, and the weak to carry His gospel.

God delights in using what seems foolish to confound the wise and the weakest to fulfill His promises. He doesn’t operate according to earthly systems or human qualifications—whether social, political, financial, or spiritual. He works according to His will and His Kingdom purpose.

God loved Israel deeply, yet He is also a just God. When their ways no longer aligned with His holiness, He allowed discipline. But when they cried out, He heard them. And He chose a man named Ehud, from the tribe of Benjamin, to deliver them from oppression. Scripture notes that he was left-handed—not a deformity, but a detail rarely mentioned in Scripture. In ancient times, the right hand symbolized strength and favor, while left-handedness was often viewed negatively.

Yet what others could see as a weakness, God used as a divine strategy.

Ehud concealed a dagger on his right thigh—where no one expected it. When he approached King Eglon of Moab, the guards examined only his left side, assuming he was right-handed. They never found the weapon. Ehud then told the king that he had a secret message. Hearing this, the king dismissed his guards and the room was locked, leaving Ehud alone with him. In that private moment, Ehud used his left hand, drew the hidden dagger, and struck down the oppressor. What appeared to be a disadvantage became the very strategy God used to bring deliverance to a nation.

Today’s passage reminds us:

God’s plans prevail.

Your weakness is not a barrier.

Your limitation is not a disqualification.

In God’s hands, even what feels like a disadvantage can become your greatest Kingdom strength.

He is not seeking the strongest, the most capable, or the most skilled—but the surrendered, the willing, and the humble. Your weakness is an open door for God’s power to be made perfect in you.

Instead of hiding it—offer it.

Instead of despising it—yield it.

May what you once called a weakness become an instrument of deliverance in God’s hands.

Prayer

Lord, I surrender every weakness, limitation, and insecurity into Your hands. Use my life for Your glory. Turn what seems insufficient into strength for Your Kingdom. Make me willing, humble, and obedient. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Divine Exchange On The Cross

“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”

Isaiah 53:5 (ESV)

My older sister was pregnant and went in for a routine checkup at 28 weeks. What was expected to be a normal visit turned into a frightening report. The ultrasound showed that the baby was not receiving nutrients through the umbilical cord and was not breathing well. She was immediately rushed into an emergency C-section.

The baby weighed only 900 grams. We were told the survival rate was extremely low. Nothing was prepared—emotionally, physically, or mentally. My sister, already in postpartum shock, struggled to process the diagnosis and the overwhelming fear. Soon the baby developed a high fever, and doctors could not determine the cause. That tiny baby—small enough to fit in a palm—underwent spinal and brain fluid testing while experiencing repeated breathing pauses.

As the infection worsened, the doctors said they were not confident the baby would survive. They gave her only 24 hours.

It was Good Friday in 2011. My mother called us—all siblings living in different parts of the world—asking us to fast and pray. As we sought God together, my mother shared a scripture from Colossians 2:14:

“By canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.”

She declared this with boldness—that Jesus had already cancelled every accusation and nailed it to the cross. Her faith was strengthened, and she believed God had snatched the baby from the hands of the enemy.

A few hours later, my mother received a message from my brother-in-law: the baby survived. The doctors discovered the cause of the infection, began treatment, and she started responding well. Relief flooded us, and we praised God for His mercy. Later my brother-in-law shared that the baby had stopped breathing for nearly a full minute before suddenly breathing again. We believe with all our hearts that the Lord intervened and pulled her back from the spirit of death.

She remained in the NICU for nearly four months before fully recovering. Today, she stands as a living testimony of God’s healing power and grace.

I want to remind you today—God is still healing, restoring, and performing miracles. Every day is a Good Friday when we remember that the wounds of Jesus still speak healing, restoration, redemption, and wholeness over our lives.

What happened on the cross was a divine exchange: Jesus took the consequences of our sin upon Himself, so we could receive life. He cancelled every verdict, every accusation, every curse, every plan of the enemy—so we could walk in freedom and fullness.

Enjoy the fullness of His grace and mercy by believing in the finished work of the cross.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross. Thank You that by Your wounds we are healed—spirit, soul, and body. Strengthen our faith to believe that nothing is impossible for You. Help us walk in the freedom, restoration, and abundant life You gave us. Amen.

Fight The Right Battle

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

Ephesians 6:12 ESV

So often, we fight the wrong battle. Every battle we face has a spiritual agenda behind it. The enemy’s end goal is to distract us from the purpose of God and distance us from His love. Behind every earthly problem, there is a spiritual reality.

My childhood was filled with tears because of my father’s behavior and constant anger. Our home felt unsafe—full of fear and tension. Instead of confronting the source spiritually, we simply adapted to the chaos. Our thoughts, routines, and emotions revolved around preparing for his next outburst. But the true problem was never my father—it was the evil spirit at work, provoked through black magic by his business rivals.

In the middle of this darkness, my mother encountered Jesus Christ and accepted Him as her Lord and Savior. She recognized the real enemy and began to fight the right battle—through prayer, faith, and spiritual authority. And when God steps into the battlefield, who can stand against Him?

Jesus Christ, the Victor, reigned over that situation and delivered my father and our family from the long spiritual battle. After that breakthrough, salvation entered our home—one heart after another.

When we read words like principalities, cosmic powers, rulers of darkness, it may seem frightening, but Scripture clearly tells us that Satan is a defeated foe and is under our feet. He may roar loudly, but Christ stripped him of his power at the cross.

We are not left helpless. God has equipped us, and He sees us as warriors. Pray at all times, because every battle—whether in friendships, relationships, family, or career—is first fought and won in the spiritual realm. We grow weary when we fight with human strength, but spiritual warfare through prayer lifts us into victory. Prayer is the only weapon that destroys the works of darkness. No matter what comes against you, it will fall—because prayer prevails, and God never loses.

You will be victorious. When God is for you, who can be against you?

So, put on the whole armor of God and stand firm.

“Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Ephesians 6:13–17 NLT

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, open my eyes to recognize the real battle and teach me to stand firm in Your strength. Clothe me with Your armor, fill me with Your Spirit, and help me fight through prayer and faith. Thank You that victory is already mine through You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
