God Is Faithful...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

In seasons of temptations we seem to lose sight of the fact that God tests us that our faith may be tried, and be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus. The Lord places us in different positions to develop us. If we have defects of character of which we are not aware, He gives us discipline that will bring those defects to our knowledge, that we may overcome them.

It is His providence that brings us into varying circumstances. In each new position, we meet a different class of temptations. How many times, when we are placed in some trying situation, we think, “This is a wonderful mistake. How I wish I had stayed where I was before.” But why is it that you are not satisfied? It is because your circumstances have served to bring new defects in your character to your notice; but nothing is revealed but that which was in you. What should you do when you are tried by the providences of the Lord? You should rise to the emergency of the case, and overcome your defects of character.

It is coming in contact with difficulties that will give you spiritual muscle and sinew. You will become strong in Christ if you endure the testing process and the proving of God. But if you find fault with your situation and with everybody around you, you will only grow weaker. I have seen people who were always finding fault with everything and everybody around them, but the fault was in themselves. They had need to fall upon the Rock and be broken. They felt whole in their own self-righteousness. The trials that come upon us come to prove us. The enemy of our souls is working against us continually, but our defects of character will be made manifest to us, and when they are made plain, instead of finding fault with others, let us say, “I will arise and go to my Father.”

When we begin to realize that we are sinners, and fall on the Rock to be broken, the everlasting arms are placed about us, and we are brought close to the heart of Jesus. Then we shall be charmed with His loveliness, and disgusted with our own righteousness. We need to come close to the foot of the cross. The more we humble ourselves there, the more exalted will God’s love appear.— To Be Like Jesus p. 210

🌿 LOVE NOTE FROM GOD... I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

My beloved,

There are battles you have been trying to fight on your own.

Situations that feel demanding. Pressures that seem relentless. Moments where you feel the need to defend, to fix, to respond, to hold everything together.

And it has been exhausting.

You have carried the weight of what was never meant to rest entirely on you. You have stepped into places where you felt you had to manage every outcome, protect every angle, and secure every result.

But listen to Me.

I will fight for you.

You are not alone in this.

Not in what you face.

Not in what stands against you.

Not in what feels beyond your control.

There are battles that do not require your striving.

They require your trust.

You have been living as though everything depends on how well you respond, how strongly you stand, how carefully you navigate every detail.

But some battles are not yours to fight.

They are Mine.

This does not mean you do nothing. It means you do not carry the weight of the outcome. It means you release the pressure to control what you cannot control.

You stand.

You trust.

You remain steady.

And you let Me work.

You shall hold your peace.

Not because there is nothing happening. Not because the situation is small. But because you are not the one who must secure the victory.

I am.

There are things unfolding that you cannot see. Movements behind the scenes. Alignments that are being set in place. Outcomes that are being shaped in ways you do not yet understand.

I am working.

Even when it feels still.

Even when it feels delayed.

Even when it feels uncertain.

You do not need to force what I am already handling.

You do not need to fight what I have already taken responsibility for.

So release the tension, My beloved.

Release the need to respond to everything.

Release the burden of carrying what is Mine.

Stand in My peace.

Trust My hand.

Let Me fight for you.

And you will see.

What felt overwhelming will not overcome you.

What felt uncertain will be settled.

What felt heavy will be lifted.

Because I am with you.

And I am fighting for you.

Forever yours,

Your God

The One who fights for you

One Day At A Time...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

What a privilege that we sinful mortals have the privilege of speaking with God. In the closet, when walking the streets, when engaged in labor, our hearts can be ascending to God for counsel, our souls drawn out after God, a breath from heaven. All these soul longings, God will hear. All our troubles we may take to God. His hand of infinite love is moved to supply our needs. How thankful I am that we have only one day to live at a time. One day to keep our souls stayed upon, one day to watch, one day to progress in the spiritual life and thus our days may be fruitful, precious days to us. 

We have a soldier’s duty to perform, victories to gain, for we must not be ignorant of Satan’s devices. We pray and then watch lest Satan shall steal upon us and make us forget our need of prayer, our need of vigilance and watching thereunto. 

In the Christian warfare, unless there is a sharp eye on the adver- sary and a sharp eye on ourselves, we shall be led into Satan’s snare. Our security depends on the state of our heart. God help us to take heed to ourselves or we shall certainly lose heaven. Little departures from right, little indulgences, seem a trifling thing at present, but Satan will lead us on a track that will separate us from righteousness and from God. We want not our ways but God’s ways. We want to strive with all the powers of being to bruise Satan under our feet and be sure that we are right with God, that we have a clear title to our immortal inheritance. 

We may have to be stripped of everything before we will come in humble submission to be led, guided, and controlled by the will of God. We want humble, trusting, childlike confidence, meekness, lowliness, no self-confidence, but humble trust in Jesus. What traits of character are we cultivating? That which will be enduring as eternity? Is our time spent in busy activity, but our souls unblessed and our heavenly Father not glorified? Eternal life is worth a lifelong, persevering, untiring effort and we cannot afford to make haphazard work. When our soul’s highest interest is concerned, we cannot afford to keep Jesus in the outer courts, away from our souls.

When Waters Rise...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

TODAY’S WORD:

Life will bring moments when the waters rise—when fear, uncertainty, and trials seem ready to overwhelm us. But throughout Scripture, we see that rising waters are never the end of the story when God is present.

When Peter stepped out of the boat, he walked on the water—not by his own strength, but by keeping his eyes on Jesus. When he focused on the wind and waves, he began to sink, yet even then, the Lord reached out and held him. When Moses stood before the Red Sea, God made a way where there was none, parting the waters so His people could walk through on dry ground.

The same God is with you today. Whether He calls you to walk through the waters, stand still and watch them part, or trust Him in the middle of the storm, His power is greater than anything you face. The key is where your focus rests. Don’t let the waves dictate your faith—let God’s Word anchor it. Keep your eyes on Him, and you will find strength to stand, courage to step out, and grace to endure.

Will you trust Him today, even when the waters rise?

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Father, thank You this beautiful and blessed day. Father, thank You that You are Lord over every storm. When the waters rise, help me to keep my eyes on You and not on the waves. Strengthen my faith to walk where You call me, to trust You to make a way where there seems to be none, and to stand firm in Your promises. Use me as a light to others who are struggling, that they may see Your power and love through my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

It Is No Secret What God Can Do...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through

Someone slipped and fell, was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength, your courage to renew

Do not be disheartened, I have news for you...

It is no secret what God can do

What He's done for others He'll do for you

With arms wide open He'll pardon you

It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night for in His light, you never walk alone

You'll always feel at home, wherever you may roam

There is no power can conquer you, while God is on your side

Take Him at His promise, don't run away and hide.

It is no secret what God can do.

Whatever You Do...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

TODAY’S WORD:

Think about the difference between a performance done for applause and a gift given quietly out of love. One seeks recognition; the other seeks impact. In the same way, much of what we do each day can be driven by success, visibility, and approval—or by a desire to honor God.

Consider the difference between a résumé built to impress and a life lived to bless. Titles fade, achievements age, and applause eventually quiets. But when our work—whether parenting, serving, leading, cleaning, teaching, or encouraging—is done with God in mind, it carries eternal value.

King Solomon had influence, wealth, and wisdom beyond measure, yet he discovered that fulfillment didn’t come from achievement alone. True satisfaction came when his efforts were aligned with God’s purpose. When God is the reason behind what we do, even the smallest tasks become sacred.

Today, let your words reflect His love, your actions reflect His truth, and your choices reflect His character. When God is glorified, nothing we do is ever wasted.

There is no higher calling than living a life that points back to God.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. I give You all the glory, honor, and praise—you alone are worthy. Thank You for loving me so completely and for being faithful in every season of my life. Today, I choose to honor You in my thoughts, my words, and my actions. Help me to live with humility, integrity, and purpose. Remove any desire for personal recognition and replace it with a heart that reflects Your love. Let my life bring You glory in both the seen and unseen moments. Use me as a vessel of Your goodness and grace, so others may see You through me. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Separating From Sin...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

The requirements of God are set plainly before us, and the ques- tion to be settled is, Will we comply with them? Will we accept the conditions laid down in His Word—separation from the world? This is not the work of a moment or of a day. It is not accomplished by bowing at the family altar, and offering up lip service, neither by public exhortation and prayer. It is a lifelong work. Our consecration to God must be a living principle, interwoven with the life, and leading to self-denial and self-sacrifice. It must underlie all our thoughts and be the spring of every action. This will elevate us above the world, and separate us from its polluting influence. 

All our actions are affected by our religious experience, and if this experience is founded on God and we understand the mysteries of godliness, if we are daily receiving of the power of the world to come, and hold communion with God, and have the fellowship of the Spirit, if we are each day holding with a firmer grasp the higher life, and drawing closer and still closer to the bleeding side of the Redeemer, we shall have inwrought in us principles that are holy and elevating. Then it will be as natural for us to seek purity and holiness and separation from the world, as it is for the angels of glory to execute the mission of love assigned them in saving mortals from the corrupting influence of the world. Every one who enters the pearly gates of the city of God will be a doer of the Word. He will be a partaker of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. It is our privilege to realize the fulness there is in Christ, and be blessed by the provision made through Him. Ample provision has been made that we should be raised from the lowlands of earth, and have our affections fastened upon God and heavenly things. 

Will this separation from the world in obedience to the divine command, unfit us for doing the work the Lord has left us? Will it hinder us from doing good to those around us? No; the firmer hold we have on heaven, the greater will be our power of usefulness in the world.

—Manuscript 1, March 26, 1869, “Diligence in the Work of Preparation.”
