Word of the Day: Do you know the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?
God reveals Himself to us in three different forms: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we also refer to this as The Trinity:
- The Father is the will, the heart of God. All plans come from the Father.
- The Son is Jesus, God appearing as a man to save us.
- The Holy Spirit is God entering into the hearts of those who believe, transforming their lives.
You could also think of the trinity as the narrative of our salvation: The Father began our salvation story, the Son accomplishes it through His death and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit applies it to our lives by convicting, transforming, and sanctifying us. Belief in the Trinity places salvation beneath the magnifying glass and provides a clearer view of God's perfect work of redemption.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28: 18-19
The Trinity is an important part of the Christian faith. Note the last words spoken to by Jesus in the book of Matthew, in what is known as The Great Commission. We are commanded to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is treated equally in this passage by Jesus.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
2 Corinthians 13:14
The presence of God the Father, Son, and Spirit in your life fills your heart with joy and hope and enables you to live the life He desires for you. Without God in our hearts, there is a void in our spirits that we constantly seek to fill.
When we receive God and let Him reign in our hearts, everything changes. Our life finds a good direction, our spirit calms knowing it has been redeemed, and our heart leaps for joy when we feel the movement of God's Spirit. Let us worship the Trinity God, who has given eternal meaning to our lives.
3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:3-7

God has a surprise prepared for you!
The Bible says that God likes to give us much more than we ask for... or can even imagine! Every father enjoys surprising the child he loves with good things. How much more will God give good things to His children? God is our Father and takes great pleasure in blessing us.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
- Ephesians 3:20-21
Trust that if you surrender your entire life, will, and future into the hands of the Lord, you will be greatly surprised... He is sovereign, extremely kind, and will lead you to a safe harbor, granting miracles, peace, and victories you never imagined! Just believe with all your heart and depend on Christ, in every moment. God will take care of your life, He has a new story waiting for you...
Let God surprise you! Pray, and tell God what your dreams and plans are. Ask Him to guide you and help you make important decisions in life. Remain steadfast in the presence of the Lord. Keep seeking God and His righteousness, and all other things you need will be added to you. Surely, He has a future of blessings for you!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
Let yourself be surprised by God's blessings!

Let Your will be done, Lord!
This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
- Matthew 6:9–10
Many times, we recite the Lord’s Prayer without truly reflecting on the words. Jesus gave us this prayer as a model, and when we pray it, we should do so with awareness and reverence. This prayer touches on many aspects of our daily lives and, above all, inspires us to surrender ourselves into the Father’s arms, because we know He is good and cares for us.
When we pray, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,” we are inviting God to work powerfully in our lives, according to His will. This doesn’t mean everything will go smoothly or the way we want. God’s will for us may include illness, struggles, and hardship. But in the midst of all that life brings, we will see the manifestation of God’s power and love.
The apostle Paul gave us a powerful example. He saw and did great things in the name of Jesus. Yet, in his daily life, he lived with “a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me, to keep me from becoming conceited” (2 Corinthians 12:7).
He pleaded with God three times to take it away, but God’s response was: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9a) And Paul’s response?
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9b
This is the heart we must have when we pray, “Your will be done.” God’s will may not always be what we expect or desire, but He will walk with us, strengthen us, and ultimately welcome us into His glory.
Lord, may Your kingdom come and Your will be done!
