The Word For The Day

Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed and said to his servant, “Go now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.” Then it came to pass the seventh time, he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea.” (1 Kings 18:42-44)

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."  (Psalm 33:12)

Lord God, thank You for the country we live in and the physical freedom we enjoy. More than that, we thank You for the eternal freedom we have in Jesus. Help us to stand firm in Your grace, love our neighbours, and never take our freedom for granted.

Lord,  we come before You with gratitude for Your presence in our nation.

Heal our divisions, bring peace to our communities, and guide us towards unity, hope, and righteousness.

Jesus said, "I am the Way-no one comes to the Father except through Me."

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, My Father will give you whatever you ask in My name. Until now you have not asked for anything. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." John 16:23-24

Miracles happen in Jesus' name.

Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." The man got up and he walked. In Jesus’ name supernatural signs, wonders, healings, and miracles happen and satan trembles at the name of Jesus!

There were five thousand hungry men besides women and children. They had been listening to Jesus' teaching for hours on end. The disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away."

Jesus told His disciples to do the impossible: "You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied.

Jesus said to Peter, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon Peter answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” WHEN THEY HAD DONE SO, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. Luke 5: 4-6

I am sure that no matter what you are going through or what you have already been through, the best is yet to come! All you need to do is hold on because help is on the way! Jesus will help you!

The disciples invited Jesus into their boat, then they followed His instruction, even though, it didn't make any sense. The result was the boat was full of fish that they were almost sinking. That’s something we have got to learn to do when it comes to following Jesus-- to do as we are told.
