Today's Word:
Have you ever made a promise to God, only to find yourself struggling to keep it? Have you ever declared your faith, yet faltered when the pressure came? Peter told Jesus he would never deny Him (Matthew 26:33-34), and the Israelites declared, "All that the Lord has said we will do" (Exodus 19:8). They meant it. So, what went wrong?
Peter missed the chance to build his spiritual muscles when he failed to stay up and pray with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:40-41). He relied on his own strength, and when the testing time came, he wasn’t ready. Isn’t it the same for us? When we depend on ourselves, we find ourselves weak and unprepared for the trials. 1 Corinthians 10:12 reminds us to take heed, for even when we think we stand strong, we are in danger of falling.
But here’s the beauty of God’s grace: He doesn’t discard us when we fail. Like the potter with the clay (Jeremiah 18:4), He keeps working with us, shaping and reshaping us according to His purpose. God knows our weaknesses and our future decisions, yet He always provides an opportunity for restoration. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool” (Isaiah 1:18). He is faithful and just to forgive our sins (1 John 1:9).
When we fail, God doesn’t turn His back. He offers us the chance to repent and grow from our mistakes, molding us into something new. Our failures are not the end—they are simply moments where we can learn to trust Him more.
Today's Prayer:
Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. I ask for Your grace to help me stand strong in times of testing. When I fail, remind me that You are the Potter, reshaping me in Your love. Thank You for Your faithfulness and for never giving up on me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
100% to God = 0% Compromise to the world!

We are United in Christ!
Jesus is Coming Very Soon!
PRAISE THE LORD!💖
