John 8:31-32

" Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”


We can be held hostage by a lie until we are freed by the illumination of God's Word. Knowing the truth of Hid Word transforms the way we think, act, and speak. It also exposes and dismantles the enemy's strategies to keep us in darkness.


In this passage of scripture, Jesus was speaking to the Jews who believed in Him. He said, "If you continue in my word, then you are my disciples indeed." This is a life-changing truth. To gain true freedom, you must remain steadfast in the Word. When we are disciplined enough to dig deep into God's Word, we will experience revelation.


However, too many of us start strong in the truth of God's Word, only to drift away when life's challenges create a chasm between us and that truth. When our circumstances seem to contradict God's promises, we often become discouraged and begin to doubt that He cares about what we're going through. But that is the furthest thing from the truth. He absolutely cares and his promises still stands.


No matter what our circumstances suggest the reality is that God will never leave us nor forsake us. While we may have to endure seasons we would rather avoid, those seasons carry valuable lessons. Being a disciple of God requires discipline- both in receiving and walking in the Word. When we do, no hardship can rob us of the truth and the reality of what God has spoken.


When we are exposed to the light, darkness loses its power and influence over us as believers. Don't believe the lie—God is ready to illuminate your path and set you on the right course to freedom.


Isaiah 54:10

"For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord.


This is a beautiful promise we can lean into. No matter what happens around us, our Father assures us of His unwavering kindness and peace. If we are recipients of His great kindness and peace, we must also extend kindness to others and strive to live peaceably.


As children of God, our behavior should align with His Word. The world is watching what we say and do, and we must reflect His love and kindness. Regardless of what we may be experiencing, we should never use it as an excuse to be unkind. If we are walking in the Spirit of God, kindness should always be evident in us.


Kindness is contagious—one act can inspire others to pay it forward. A calm demeanor can bring peace into any situation.


Acts of kindness don’t have to be grand gestures; even small actions can make a significant impact. A kind word to a stranger, a smile to someone who is struggling, holding the door open, offering encouragement, or helping a coworker with a difficult task all reflect God’s love. Paying for someone’s coffee, checking in on a lonely neighbor, calling a friend or family member you haven't heard from in a while, volunteering at a shelter, or visiting the elderly in a nursing home are all simple but powerful ways to demonstrate kindness.


As believers, we have an opportunity every day to show kindness and offer peace. Our daily interactions with others allow us to reflect God's goodness. Let us be intentional in sharing His love through our

actions.



Isaiah 46:4

"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."


Life is a journey filled with seasons of joy, challenge, growth, and change. As we age, we may face uncertainties—health concerns, shifting relationships, or the fear of becoming weak and dependent. Yet, Isaiah 46:4 offers a profound reassurance: God’s care for us does not fade with time. He is the same God who created us, and He promises to sustain us, carry us, and rescue us even in our later years.


This verse is a powerful reminder that we are never beyond God’s provision. Our physical strength may decline, but His strength remains steadfast. Just as a loving parent carries a child, God upholds us through every stage of life. His sustaining grace is not dependent on our ability but on His unchanging love and faithfulness.


No matter what season of life you are in, trust that God’s hands are beneath you, lifting you up. He is not a distant observer but an ever-present sustainer. You do not walk this journey alone—He will carry you through every challenge and deliver you in every trial.


Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your promise to sustain and carry me. In moments of weakness, remind me that You are my strength. As I journey through life, help me to trust in Your unwavering faithfulness. No matter what I face, I know You are with me, upholding me with Your loving hands. Amen.
