Jesus has arrived
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
George Müller spent his childhood and part of his youth far from God. The son of a tax collector, his goal in life was to make money in any way he could. He stole, lied, gambled, and took advantage of other people.
His father, worried about him, enrolled him in a prestigious school to study theology. George was happy because, in his view, this would allow him to become a pastor and earn easy money.
But God had other plans. George met a friend who invited him to a gathering in a house. There, George met committed Christians who loved God and lived according to His will. His life was transformed, and today George is known and remembered as a great Christian evangelist, founder of orphanages, and defender of the weak. Jesus came into his life and changed everything!
Do you know someone who seems like a lost cause? Don’t lose hope! Keep praying for that person, show them God’s love at all times, and invite them to fellowship with other believers. Pray to God to give you good ideas, because Jesus wants to reach their heart and transform their life.
You can be the friend, brother, neighbor, or acquaintance that God uses so that a hopeless life may receive salvation and impact the world. Ask God to use you to bring this generation closer to His kingdom. Be a precious instrument in the hands of the Lord!
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
- Romans 10:14–15

My Hero
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil.
- Hebrews 2:14
Jesus became fully human, just like us. By sharing in our humanity, He paid the price for your sins. More than that, through His human life, death, and resurrection, He defeated the devil himself. Jesus is the greatest Hero, and He lives forever! Be thankful that He died for you, rose again, and now reigns in sovereign power.
Give thanks to Him because He gave His life for you, rose from the dead, and now reigns over all. Never forget what Jesus did out of love for you, so that your sins could be forgiven and you could receive eternal life. It is through His finished work that you are saved. Praise Him with all your heart!
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. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 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, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
- Titus 3:3-7

The Courage That Comes from God
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
- Joshua 1:9
This encouraging word should still echo in our hearts today. God not only instructs us, but also strengthens us through His constant presence. In our moments of fear and uncertainty, He is our unshakable source of strength.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward in spite of it. God assures us that wherever our steps may lead, His presence is our faithful companion. We are not alone in our challenges, the Creator of the universe walks with us.
Trust in God is the foundation of true courage. When we feel weak, He is our strength. When circumstances seem overwhelming, His promise echoes in our hearts: "I will be with you wherever you go."
God not only encourages us to be strong and courageous, but He also empowers us to face the unknown. His presence knows no limits, and His faithfulness is eternal. Therefore, in every step we take, we can trust that He is our guide, our protection, and our endless source of courage.
May the words of Joshua 1:9 echo in our hearts, reminding us that true courage is found in the constant presence of the Lord. And today, may we move forward in faith, trusting that God is our rock and our fortress—enabling us to be strong and courageous in every path He leads us on.
