The Eye Has Never Seen

-


Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—

Devotion:

1 Corinthians 2:9 reminds us of the vastness of God’s plans and blessings—far beyond anything we can see, hear, or imagine. This verse highlights the mystery and beauty of God’s love, encouraging us to trust in His promises even when our circumstances feel uncertain or unclear. When we face challenges or feel limited by our own understanding, we can find comfort in knowing that God’s plans for us are greater than anything our human minds can grasp.

As believers, we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. God’s ways are often hidden from our view, yet He is always working behind the scenes for the good of those who love Him. This truth encourages us to release worry and control, surrendering our hopes and fears to the One who knows the end from the beginning. When we love God and seek Him first, we can be confident that He is preparing blessings, opportunities, and a future filled with His presence and purpose.

Let this promise fill your heart with hope today. Even if you cannot see what’s ahead, trust that gifts are waiting for you—gifts that only God can give. These gifts are not just a possibility, but a certainty, waiting to be revealed in His perfect timing. Pray for the faith to believe in things unseen and for the courage to keep loving Him, knowing that His best is yet to come.

Prayer:

            Heavenly Father, help us to trust in this promise. We eagerly await the day when we will be in paradise with you. May this scripture encourage us when we are in some trouble. May we take courage in the knowledge that you are indeed preparing an excellent place for us to spend all eternity praising you and living in the place you have prepared for us. Amen.

Reflecting on Reformation Day

-
  On October 31st, millions of Christians around the world celebrate Reformation Day, a commemoration of a pivotal moment in church history. It marks the day in 1517 when Martin Luther, a German monk and scholar, nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. This act, challenging the practices and doctrines of the Catholic Church, ignited what we now know as the Protestant Reformation. The Courage to Stand for Truth Reformation Day calls us to reflect on the courage it takes to stand for truth. Martin Luther faced immense opposition and risked his life to speak against the corruption and abuses he saw within the church. His conviction was rooted in a deep understanding of scripture and a sincere desire to return to the teachings of Christ. As we remember Luther's bravery, let us examine our own lives. Are we willing to stand firm in our beliefs, even when it is difficult? Do we seek truth in God's word and let it guide our actions? Script...

Be A Good Minister

  Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:4-6 (NIV) 4  For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5  because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 6  If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

Bold Testimony

  Scripture: Acts 4:8-12 (ESV) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, 9  if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 10  let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. 11  This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12  And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Devotion: In this passage from Acts 4:8-12, we witness a decisive moment where Peter, emboldened by the Holy Spirit, addresses the rulers and elders of the people. His bold testimony is not just a defense of miraculous healing but a proclamation of the central truth of the Christian faith. ...
