Month: April 2026

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day for you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

Understanding Seasons
If we understand that there are things you used to do at 4 years old that you can’t do at 24 years old, why do we frustrate ourselves with our present situations?

When you were 4 years old, you never asked, “When will I turn 5?” You simply knew that time would pass and that season would come. And once it came, you would never be 4 again.

In the same way, when we understand seasons, we learn to appreciate each one.

We may not like certain seasons—like winter—but we can still be grateful for them. Even the seasons we dislike have purpose. Just because something feels uncomfortable or even painful does not mean God must explain Himself.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (CEV):
Everything on earth has its own time and its own season.

The Order of God
Imagine if life had no order—if things just happened randomly. We would plant today and uproot tomorrow. People are dying more than they are being healed; there is more weeping than laughter, and there is more building up than breaking down.

The chaos we see now would be nothing compared to a world without time and seasons.

Time and seasons bring order. And we must remember: God is not a God of chaos.

One important truth to hold onto is this:
Through every situation I go through, I am in order.

When we don’t understand the order of seasons, we begin to expect harvest during a time of sowing. That confusion often leads us to create chaos in our own lives—simply because we refuse to let time and seasons take their course.

Gratitude Friday Reflection
Today is what we call “Gratitude Friday.” For many, Friday marks the end of the work week—a perfect moment to pause, reflect, and thank God.

Take time today to speak to Him. Thank Him for the week—for both the good and the challenging moments.

Learn to thank God for your job. Even if you don’t like it, remember—it is for a season.

Okay, I am not a fan of winter, but I would like to say thank God for the rainy season that we are approaching.

Takeaway
Every season has a purpose, even the uncomfortable ones. Instead of resisting where you are, trust that God is working through it—and be grateful while you grow through it.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day for you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

The Uncertainty of the Future

No one truly knows the future—not the wealthiest, the most intelligent, or even presidents. Yet, we all try to predict it. That is why people make plans, pursue healthy lifestyles, and strive to make good decisions—hoping for a better tomorrow.

We naturally believe that tomorrow will come. In times of war, we trust that peace will eventually follow. But because of this human limitation, it becomes difficult for many to believe that there is Someone who actually knows the future.

So when we say that God, through the Holy Spirit, knows what is to come, it can sound unbelievable to some.

But for those who believe in God, a deeper question arises:
Do you truly trust what He has said about the future?

Habakkuk 2:3 (CEV)
At the time I have decided, my words will come true. You can trust what I say about the future. It may take a long time, but keep on waiting—it will happen!

One truth we must settle in our hearts is this:
God is not still deciding—He has already decided.

When we understand this, it changes how we live. We move differently. We trust differently. But this is also one of the hardest truths to accept, especially for those who struggle with authority.

We often ask:
“If God has already decided, why am I going through this?”

Notice the words: “At the time I have decided…”
There is an appointed time for everything.

Many people can testify that life did not go according to their plans. Paths changed. Directions shifted. Yet, in all of that, God’s timing remained perfect

The Challenge of Waiting

Another challenge is this:
“It may take a long time…”

We struggle with patience, and the world around us is constantly pushing us toward impatience—faster results, instant gratification, immediate answers.

But God calls us to something different:
“Keep on waiting—it will happen.”

Waiting is not easy, especially when what we are waiting for feels delayed. But we must remember:
We are not waiting on what we said—we are waiting on what God said.

If what we are holding onto is not aligned with His word, then our waiting may lead to frustration. But when it is aligned with Him, our waiting is not in vain.

Takeaway

Trust God’s timing as much as you trust His promises.
What He has spoken about your future is already settled—it is not a matter of if, but when.

So don’t lose heart in the waiting season.
Align yourself with His word, remain patient, and hold on to His truth—
because at the appointed time, it will surely come to pass.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day for you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

The Reality of Waiting

Waiting is one of the major causes of anxiety.
Because when you are waiting, you don’t have control—and when you don’t have control, you begin to worry about the outcome. That worry often turns into anxiety.

We cannot deny that waiting can be frustrating.
Whether it’s standing in line at the grocery store, waiting for an important email, or counting down the days to a long-anticipated event—it can sometimes feel excruciating.

So if that’s the case…
Why would I say there is strength in waiting?

Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)
But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Understanding the “But”

Before we focus on the promise, we must look at what comes before the “but.”

Isaiah reminds us:
“Even the youths shall faint and be weary…”

Youth often represents strength, energy, and time. You might think being young gives you an advantage in waiting—that you have enough strength to endure.

But Isaiah makes it clear:
Even with youth and strength, you can still grow weary.
Even those who seem strong will eventually faint.

Then comes the turning point:
“But those who wait on the LORD…”

This shifts everything.

The Key Question

In your waiting…
Who are you waiting on?

Because waiting in itself does not give strength.
Waiting on the LORD does.

Strength in the Waiting

When your trust is in the Lord:

• Your strength can be renewed
• You can rise above your situation
• You can run without growing weary
• You can walk without fainting

Even in the midst of anxiety and frustration, there is a supernatural strength available to you.

We live in uncertain times—and it often feels like uncertainty is only increasing. There will always be things beyond our control, things we don’t understand.

But the real question is:
Can your trust in the Lord be greater than your need to understand?

Takeaway: Gratitude Friday

Today is Gratitude Friday.
Take a moment to reflect:

What are you grateful for?

I am grateful that even in a world filled with increasing uncertainty, our Lord remains faithful.
Nothing changes Him.
No situation catches Him off guard.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day for you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

Are we ready for our plans to be postponed, put off, or our actions hindered? There is an article that talks about “Delay Thinking.” They say it is a project success factor. “Often, it is better to spend more time than it is to speed to meet a deadline. Fast is good but not always. When rushing to get something done, the probability of causing damage is high.” This is one of the paragraphs from the article, and it made me think and ask myself a question: “Why am I always concerned about how fast I reach a certain goal?” And there is nothing wrong about that question because we have to time or put a deadline on our goals because we don’t have forever here on this earth. But fast is not always good; sometimes some goals need to take time in order for you to achieve them.

Exodus 32:1 (ESV)
When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”

Whether we like it or not, our patience and faith will be tested, and one of the things that will be used is “delay.” My question is, “They just came out of Egypt after being there for years, and now they want gods to go before them?” It is one thing to commit your plans to God, and it’s another thing to wait for him to establish them, because he never said when he is going to establish them; he just said he will establish them. And one thing that “delay” does to us is that after we have committed the plans to God and we feel like they are taking too long, we start to find other methods or ways to establish them. So check once you start wanting to find other ways; know that you have not stood the test of delay.

It’s good for people to gather, because two is better than one, but make sure you are not part of gatherings that will lead you astray. The people gathered around Aaron, but only to pressure him to cause the people to sin. Beliefs can be compromised in gatherings and so can values. So gatherings also test whether you stand for what you say you stand for. And if you don’t have a strong conviction and you always want to find yourself in gatherings, you are putting yourself in danger; be careful.

Takeaway
Do you really trust in God’s plan and timing?
As good as human leaders are, are we maintaining faith in God’s sovereignty and promises?

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
