WALK IN HUMILITY: Daily Devotional

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life - (John 8:12)

The Lord Jesus is our perfect example in all: He was humbleness personified. You could not follow it or imitate it and miss out on your path. He said, "... he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." You could not follow his steps and walk with pride; that's impossible.

Some say they are afraid that pride will take over them, no; not when you truly know and follow Jesus. The way in which He is followed is by the Word. Be a maker of the Word. 1 Peter 5:5 says, "You also, younger, submit to the elders. Yes, all of you, be submissive to one another, clothed in humility, for God resists pride, and grants grace to the humble."

Be subject to the Lord and His Word; it is true humility. In Philippians 2:3 (AMPC), the Spirit adjures. Do nothing on the grounds of faction [by quarreling, discord, selfishness, or for unworthy purposes] or motivated by vanity and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (the humility of the spirit) everyone consider others to be better than and superior to himself. [Think above each other that you do of yourself]. Essentially, He said, "Be humble!" Despise not your brethren in Christ, above all your rulers in the Lord; be subdued.

Pride derives from the devil. He led to his self-exaltation; and for his pride, God cast him out of his place of honor. Take a conscious decision to walk humbly. This is part of manifesting the life of Christ within you. He gets the promotion. The Bible says that God resists pride and grants more grace to the meek. This grace translates into honor, growth, expansion and progress. Hallelujah!

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life.

Trust His Timing - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) - "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." Devotional: In our fast-paced world, it's easy to feel impatient and anxious when things don't happen as quickly as we desire. We often want things to unfold according to our own timelines, but God's ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. As Christians, we are called to trust His timing, knowing that He has a purpose and plan for every season of our lives. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, King Solomon reminds us that there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. Just as the changing seasons are a part of God's creation, so are the different seasons in our lives. Each season serves a purpose, whether it be a time of growth, waiting, or healing. During times of waiting, it's natural to feel discouraged or uncertain. But God's Word reassures us that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their...

Is there scientific proof of God's existence? - Bible Teachings

The concept of scientific proof for God's existence is a complex and debated topic, as science deals with the empirical study of the natural world, while God is often considered a supernatural being. However, the Bible does contain teachings and verses that address the relationship between faith, reason, and the search for understanding God's existence. Let's explore these teachings and Bible verses: 1. God's Invisible Qualities and Creation: The Bible acknowledges that certain aspects of God, such as His eternal power and divine nature, are revealed through the observation of the natural world. Romans 1:20: "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." This verse suggests that God's existence can be recognized through the intricate design and order of creation, although it may not provide scientific p...
