God, my Recreator

It wasn’t that long ago that neuroscientists discovered that the brain can actually rebuild itself. Previously, it was thought that damage to the brain was irreversible. We now know that with mental exercises, the brain can create new paths to replace damaged ones. 

There is hope for those who wish to learn new approaches to life’s challenges, and new pathways to a positive self-image that says, “I am worthy of life, love, and friendship.” 

The Bible has long taught that we are changed by what we behold. A daily gaze at Christ— His life and love for us, can transform the way we live. 

Dear Lord, May the following collection of promises from the Psalms be a powerful reminder of who we can become through Christ.

God, my Purpose

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.” Ecclesiastes 9: 10

This month we celebrate Black History, as well we should. We pause to reflect on, and celebrate the people on whose shoulders we stand to live the lives they could only dream of. From this vantage point, we can envision worlds and possibilities hitherto untraveled. As we carry the baton in this relay of life may we not forget our promise to our forefathers and our responsibility to our progeny to dream big!

Black History month is a time for looking back but equally important, we look forward knowing that if we live our lives just right, we will be the heroes on whose shoulders our descendants will stand to achieve at even higher heights, those goals we only dream of today. 

Dear Lord, may my life be a beacon leading others to believe in themselves while trusting in You. Amen

God, my Strength

“Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed,  whether this or that,  or whether both will do equally well.” Ecclesiastes 11: 6

God, my Deliverer

Abraham gazed at the clear desert night-sky, mesmerized by the velvety expanse shimmering with countless twinkling gems spread majestically across the blackness. He reflected on God’s promise— children like the stars! 

The hopelessness of the situation burdened him. He and Sarah had been unable to bear children but God promised him, he would be the father of nations. 

Abraham’s days were filled with distracting activity but his nights were haunted by doubts and desperation. Sarah had laughed— in truth they both had laughed. How could a man near a hundred and a woman ten years younger bear children? Interrupting his loneliness came the question, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Genesis 18:14.

We have all been challenged by seemingly impossible situations— even for God. We may currently be dealing with feelings of pessimism or abandonment by God. Take heart! Abraham’s story proves that God sees and in His own time, He always comes through. He knows our needs and as Jehovah Jireh— the Provider, He will step in and do what is needed to right the situation.

Dear Lord, my options are exhausted. There seems no acceptable solution to my situation. Give me hope in Your loving faithfulness and Your impeccable timing.  Amen
