Jeremiah 33:3

"Call to me, and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."


Have you ever called a friend, intending to share something important, only for the conversation to take a completely different direction? By the end, you never got the chance to tell them the good news you had prepared.


Did you know that God wants to talk to you? When we seek the Lord with our whole heart and call upon His name, He responds. God is ready to reveal things we don't yet know—things the Bible tells us are hidden. But sometimes, we miss what He wants to share with us.


Often, after calling on Him, we pour out out troubles, vent our frustrations, and then forget to pause and listen. Yet, God desires to speak powerful truths into our lives. He longs to reveal deep things to us, but if we only seek Him to solve our problems, we may miss hearing His heart.


God is always available to hear our cries—

Cries of distress, brokenness, suffering, and pain. He wants us to unload our burdens, cares, and frustrations. But more than that, He wants us to seek Him simply to know Him.


Take the time this week to pause and listen, you never know what is going to share.



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.
