Today's Word

When you do not hear the voice of God, do this

There are times in our lives when it feels like God is silent. We cannot understand what His will is for us. But we do not need to despair! God still speaks to us through the Bible.

The words of the Bible may not always be the direct answer to our specific questions, but they contain valuable lessons from God that we must listen to. And when we read the Bible regularly, we are better able to hear God.

You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,
- John 5:39

The Scriptures bear witness to Christ and teach us eternal truths, so we must prioritize them in our daily lives. It is through this divine guide that we understand Christian values and apply them to our lives. Every decision, thought, and attitude should be guided by the Word of God.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- 2 Timothy 3:16–17

Read, study, meditate on, and practice the Word of God, and see how your life will be transformed by the Light and Life that flow from the Bible!

Invest time in this, and surely God will speak to you!

Yesterday's Word

It’s not too late

Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
- Isaiah 55:7

There is still time for your neighbors and family members who have not yet accepted the Lord to come to Him and set their ways straight. There is time for you to receive the Lord’s love and forgiveness. If you have already decided to follow Jesus, now is the time to think about those around you who have not yet heard the Lord’s message of salvation.

God has given us a mission:

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
- Matthew 18:19–20

God wants to extend His mercy and forgiveness to all. He does not want anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9), and He wants to use you as a channel of blessing to others. Be a useful instrument in His hands today. Pray for the people around you and look for opportunities to touch them with God’s love and mercy.

For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.
- Acts 13:47

Day Before Yesterday's Word

There is a purpose

The Lord will vindicate me;
your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
- Psalm 138:8

There is a purpose for which you are where you are at this moment in history. You have something to contribute to making this world better. God has given you potential, and you must use it to bless the people around you and so that the name of the Lord may be exalted wherever you are.

Bring joy to those who are sad and a word of encouragement to those who are discouraged. These are very simple ways to bring the love of Christ to the people around you. You are here today, and God wants to use you for His glory, let Him guide you!

If you feel discouraged thinking that you have nothing to contribute, speak to the Father. Ask Him to guide you in His purpose for your life. Open your heart to His love and rest in Him. God will never abandon you, and He will guide you every step of the way. Trust your heavenly Father and do not forget that your life has a purpose.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ephesians 2:10
