Psalm 9:18-20 (NIV) “But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.”

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for another day and for reminding us that You never forget those who are hurting or struggling.

Lord, there are people carrying burdens today that nobody else knows about. Some are barely holding things together, wondering how they're going to make it through another day.

Father, remind them that You see their struggles and hear their prayers. Give strength to those who are exhausted, comfort to those who are hurting, and hope to those who feel like they've run out of options.

Help us trust Your justice when life seems unfair. Keep us from allowing anger or bitterness to take over our hearts. Remind us that no person is greater than You and that You are still in control.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Brothers and Sisters, Psalm 9:18-20 reminds us that God doesn't forget people just because the world overlooks them.

And sometimes, that's exactly what we need to hear.

Life can put us in situations where we feel powerless. We pray, we try to do what's right, and still find ourselves wondering when things are going to get better.

But here's what I want you to remember. Being in a difficult season doesn't mean God has abandoned you.

You may not have all the answers today. You may not even know what your next step looks like. But don't give up on God, and don't give up on yourself.

Keep praying. Keep trusting. And take the next step you can.

Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does.

I was meditating sister and brother in Christ on 1 Samuel 20:5 There are moments in life when wisdom calls us to step back from the table — to slip away from the noise, the pressure, and the expectations of others, in order to find clarity in a quieter place. David's request to Jonathan was not cowardice; it was discernment. He recognized that something was wrong in his circumstances, and rather than pretend everything was fine, he chose to seek shelter and truth before making his next move. How often do we stay seated at tables that are draining us, out of obligation or fear of what others might think, when God may be inviting us to step away and rest in His presence? Like David hiding in the field, sometimes our greatest act of faith is creating space to hear clearly — away from the demands that cloud our judgment. Trust that stepping back to seek God's wisdom is never a retreat; it is preparation for the next step He has planned for you.

Jesus once said "let there be light" and the next thing you know, there was light!!! And that's one of the most powerful creations that Jesus has ever done, but not as powerful as the creation of me and you😁

AMEN 🛐🙌🙏

Thought for the Day from Unshakable Kingdom Life

The kingdom life requires daily death to self, crucifying our agenda to embrace His. It's costly, uncomfortable, counter-cultural, and absolutely worth every sacrifice made.

A thought to ponder.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Colossians 3:13

Thursday, October 15, 2026

The Gospel was first preached in Jerusalem after the resurrection. Jerusalem was the place of the crucifixion and those who opposed Messiah. And it's where the resurrection overcame the crucifixion. Messiah said, "Go preach the Gospel to Jerusalem first." Why? Because the power of life in Messiah is stronger than death. The power of the resurrection isn't in your life, so you can avoid problems, run away from darkness, or live in defeat. The power of the resurrection came so that you could take on the darkness, the problems, and the opposition to overcome and win. So don't be afraid of the enemy, the past, or what is against you, but take it on. For the Gospel must first be manifest in the place of conflict. God did not come into this world to avoid conflict, and He did not come into your life so you could avoid it. He came into your life so that you could overcome it. He came into your life to give you the same power of the resurrection. Therefore, go and overcome whatever you have to overcome in your own Jerusalem.

From Message #834 - The Jerusalem Evidence

Today, don't avoid the problem, the challenge, or the conflict - overcome it.

Scripture: Acts 1:8
