    It is time for me to get myself together. There is so much within me that God wants to use, and the only way I can be used is to self-examine and give it all over to God.

    When one door closes, God opens another one. I will not become defeated or discourage because a door I wanted to go through was closed. I will walk into my victorious destination using the door God created.

  • Jeremiah’s Prayer: A Cry of Surrender

    Jeremiah 10:23–25 (NIV)

    Jeremiah’s prayer is a humble confession of complete dependence on God. He declares, “I know, O Lord, that a man’s life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.” In these words, Jeremiah acknowledges a truth many struggle to accept—we do not belong to ourselves. Our lives, our paths, and our purposes are all held in the sovereign hands of God.

    Jeremiah does not deny the need for correction; instead, he welcomes it. Yet he pleads for God’s discipline to come with justice and mercy, not anger. His prayer reveals a heart that desires restoration rather than destruction. He understands that unchecked wrath would leave him undone, but loving correction leads to renewal.

    This confession—“I am not my own”—is the first step toward spiritual renewal. It is an admission that we need God’s guidance daily and His forgiveness continually. Jeremiah’s heart was aligned with God, but sadly, the people of Judah did not share his posture. They refused to acknowledge the Lord or walk in obedience to His commands. Because of their stubbornness and rebellion, judgment became unavoidable.

    This passage serves as a sober reminder for us today. We are living on borrowed time, sustained by God’s grace. When we ignore His voice, reject His authority, and choose our own way, consequences follow. God’s correction is never without purpose—it is meant to draw us back to Him.

    Now is the time to call out to God. Now is the time to repent, to seek His forgiveness, and to ask for His direction so that we may walk in the work and will He has designed for our lives. Let us not repeat the mistake of Judah by refusing to acknowledge God. Instead, may we surrender our steps to Him, trusting that His justice is righteous, His correction is loving, and His desire is always restoration.

    🙏 Prayer:
    Lord, I acknowledge that my life is not my own. Guide my steps, correct me with justice and mercy, and restore my heart to You. Teach me to walk in obedience and humility, so that my life may honor You in all things. Amen.

    I will not be DEFEATED because God has covered me with His mighty righteous right hand. I am VICTORIOUS!

  • God Keeps His Promises

    There is no greater comfort than knowing that God keeps His promises. He is faithful to perform and faithful to fulfill every word He has spoken to His children. As Herbert Lockyer wisely states, “The value of a promise depends upon the character of the promiser and his ability to do what he has promised.” God’s character speaks for itself.

    There is no doubt in the believer’s mind that God will fail or lie in fulfilling what He has promised. He proves Himself daily as He fulfills promise after promise in the lives of His children. His integrity is unmatched. His faithfulness is unwavering. His track record is perfect. There is no other who can fulfill every promise made—only God.

    Lockyer further reminds us, “When we come to consider the promises of God, we can at once and without fear dismiss from our minds any misgivings on any point.” There is no uncertainty in what God can do or what He will do. His promises are sure, steadfast, and secure.

    Salter outlines four pillars that uphold the promises of God:

    1. God’s justice and holiness, which will not allow Him to deceive.
    2. His grace and goodness, which will not allow Him to forget.
    3. His truth, which will not allow Him to change.
    4. His power, which enables Him to accomplish all He has spoken.

    To accept the promises God has fulfilled is to honor His Word. The same God who fulfilled His promises in Scripture is the same God who remains faithful today. Every promise will be fulfilled—in His timing. And His timing is perfect in every way.

    As you wait, continue to trust. God will fulfill the greatest promise He has made to you. He can. He will. He always does.
