Word For Today

God reveals Himself to us in three different persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is God’s will, God’s heart. All plans come from the Father. The Son is Jesus, God appearing as a man to save us. The Holy Spirit is God entering the heart of the one who believes, transforming their life.

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 Holy 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 an emptiness in our spirit that we constantly try to fill.

But when we receive God and allow Him to reign in our hearts, everything changes. Our lives find a good direction, our spirit is calmed by knowing it has been redeemed, and our hearts leap with joy when we feel the movement of God’s Spirit. Let us worship the Triune God, who has given eternal meaning to our lives.

There was a time when we too were foolish and disobedient, living in deception and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hateful and hating one another.

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

We live in a world that desperately needs peace. We not only hear about wars and conflicts between nations, but we are also surrounded by broken families where people, when they speak to one another, do so to shout and fight. It is a very sad and painful situation.

On one occasion, Jesus sent 72 of His disciples ahead of Him to the towns and places He was about to visit. Jesus saw the great need surrounding that region and sent them out. But first, together with the task, He gave them a warning:

He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.
- Luke 10:2–6

Jesus’ disciples went out like lambs among wolves, knowing they would face rejection. Bringing the message of peace would not be easy, but it was necessary. In the same way, today we are called to bring God’s message of peace to the world around us. The commission still stands, and we are called.

Wherever we go, some will accept the message of peace and see their lives and families transformed. Others will reject it and continue living in darkness, angry and oppressed. But we must fulfill our mission; we must proclaim the Lord’s peace to all who are willing to listen.

Let us ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into His field, and let us be willing to go and proclaim God’s peace to this world that is so desperately in need of His presence and His peace.
