Today's Word
Armed with trumpets and jars
When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’
- Judges 7:18
Sometimes God’s calling comes with rather unusual instructions. That’s what happened with Gideon. God chose him to lead the people to victory against the Midianites, but the method to be used trumpets and jars was not a “conventionally warlike” method. However, Gideon obeyed God’s instructions, and in the end, he was victorious.
Therefore, if God has called you to do something for His glory, but you cannot understand the logic of His instructions, trust and obey! The way the Lord works is always the best, He knows the end from the beginning. Obey what He tells you, trust, act in His name, and you will achieve victory for the glory of God.
So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soulthen I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
- Deuteronomy 11:13–15
Yesterday's Word
Be Successful with God
Seasons change and time passes. But Christians, who are trees planted in the love of God, have leaves that do not wither and always bear fruit in due season.
God promises that when we are rooted in His love, we can be successful!
They are like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.
- Psalm 1:3
Psalm 1:3 brings us a powerful image of a tree firmly rooted in streams of water. This tree symbolizes a blessed and fruitful life.
Just as the tree depends on the water to survive and thrive, we too need God's guidance and spiritual nourishment to grow and flourish. When we connect with God, we become like this tree, able to withstand life's storms because our roots are deeply anchored in faith and God's love.
Yields its fruit in season: This phrase teaches us the importance of patience and trust in God. Just as the tree does not rush the ripening of its fruit, we too should not hurry, but trust that everything will happen at the right time.
Its leaf does not wither: This reflects the constancy of divine blessing in our lives. Even in difficult times, when the leaves of our tree seem to wither, God's presence will sustain us and renew our strength.
Whatever they do prospers: This verse reminds us that when we seek to follow God's path, our efforts are blessed and fruitful. Prosperity here does not only refer to material wealth, but also to a life of meaning, love, and purpose.
Therefore, let us be like this tree by the streams of water, trusting in God's guidance, being patient in our spiritual growth, and confident that, with God's grace, we will prosper in every aspect of our lives.
Day Before Yesterday's Word
Overcome life’s battles with God’s help!
Every soldier needs armor to protect themselves. You cannot go to war without protection because, with a high degree of certainty, we would end up wounded or dead. In the same way, we need spiritual armor to protect us in life’s battles. The armor God gives us helps us overcome temptation and sin.
The Bible tells us that if we want to resist the enemy’s constant attacks, we must put on the armor of God.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
- Ephesians 6:11-13
As this passage says, our battle is spiritual, and we must fight it with spiritual weapons. Only in this way will we be able to stand firm until the end. If we try to fight with our own strength, we will not succeed. We must make use of the armor provided by God, because He alone has all the power to overcome evil.
With Christ, you will obtain victory and live a full life according to God’s way!
