Thought for the Day – 11 August – Divine Providence

Thought for the Day – 11 August – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971) Divine Providence “How foolish it is for the sinner to exult and to sink into complacency.For all he knows, he may already be abandoned by God because the measure of God’s mercy to him has been exhausted! Those who are leading good lives may have to endure a great deal but, “blessed are they who mourn, for…

Story: The Carpenter’s Mission

In a small town nestled between rolling hills, there lived a humble carpenter named Samuel. Samuel was known for his craftsmanship, but even more so for his unwavering faith in God. He built homes, furniture, and even the town’s church, always praying over his work and dedicating every piece to the glory of God.One day, a wealthy and influential man named Darius moved into the town. Darius was…

Prayer:

Blessed God of Heaven,

I pray for each person that reads this post to understand how deeply rooted the founding of America is in the Christian faith. Increase their thirst for knowledge of our history, the times of trial and triumph, and the prevailing faith and superior intellect of our forefathers—all gifts from Your hands. Most of all, may each reader know Your providential grace and favor upon this nation, and the multiple miracles worked on behalf of those, past and present, who appeal to heaven.

Father, grant each Christian believer confidence and boldness in their faith and its power through Jesus Christ to transform and redeem this nation. Give us holy bravery and consuming zeal to reassert our Christian founding and to stand for the Biblical principles of our faith.

Sovereign Lord, we call down help from heaven. We are in dire straits as You know. We gratefully receive Your precious promise, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So, we can confidently say, "The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"  (Hebrews 13:5b-6).

Lord, protect President Donald Trump. We ask Your Almighty power to hinder, impede, and shine light upon the Democrats’ violence, hatred, atheism, deception, and cheating. And in my heart, and all who join, we say “Give glory to God!”

We ask these things in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

God’s Way Is Better Than Your Way | 1 Samuel 30:11-17

Do you really want it your way or God's way?

In Chapter 30, David returns to Ziklag and finds that his land has been burned and all of their families have been taken captive. He seeks guidance from the Lord on what actions to take and then heads off in pursuit of the enemy. In the meantime, they come across a survivor who was left behind by the enemy responsible for this destruction. This scenario can be found in 1 Samuel 30:11-15.

They found an Egyptian in the open country and brought him to David. And they gave him bread and he ate. They gave him water to drink, and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit revived, for he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights. And David said to him, “To whom do you belong? And where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite, and my master left me behind because I fell sick three days ago. We had made a raid against the Negeb of the Cherethites and against that which belongs to Judah and against the Negeb of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.” And David said to him, “Will you take me down to this band?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this band.” — 1 Samuel 30:11-15

David’s encounter with the abandoned Egyptian slave is a striking example of God’s providence. After seeking God’s guidance, David didn’t just rush into action blindly. He trusted in God’s plan—and that trust was met with provision he could not have foreseen. The Egyptian, left for dead by his Amalekite master, became the key to victory. Without this man’s inside knowledge, David might have struggled to locate the enemy or reclaim what was stolen.

This moment reminds us of how God works in ways we often cannot predict. When we seek God first, as David did, his answers will come but not always as thunderous proclamations. Sometimes, they come through unexpected people, problems, or promptings that steer us toward his purpose.

In times of distress, I’m quick to handle problems my way instead of seeking God’s way.

How often do you do this?

David’s story teaches us the importance of seeking God first, then walking in faith, and discovering God's way. God's way is better than your way. When we do it in God's way, his providence shows up in little ways along the way. It could be in a conversation with a stranger who emerges at the right time.

So, if you are in distress today, stop doing it your way and do it God's way. Consult him first, take steps of faith, and look for his providence along the way, and victory will be his through you.

#TrustGodFirst, #DivineProvidence, #FaithInAction

Ask This:

What situation in your life needs you to pause and seek God’s guidance before taking action?

How can you remain attentive to God’s unexpected provisions during your faith journey?

Do This:

Just do it God's way.

Pray This:

Lord, help me to seek You first in every challenge and trust in Your perfect plan. Open my eyes to see Your providence along the way. Amen.

Play This:

The Jesus Way.

The Gift of Giving: Deo Dante Dedi

"Deo Dante Dedi," the motto's call,

A humble heart, from large to small.

With hands that give, from gifts bestowed,

A life's devotion, freely flowed.

From God, the source of every grace,

We learn to share, in every place.

A thankful heart, with treasures few,

Finds ways to bless in all they do.

What we receive, we pass along,

A gift of love, both bright and strong.

In gratitude, our lives we weave,

For in the giving, we believe.

In blessings shared, our spirits soar,

"Deo Dante Dedi," forevermore.

With every act, a silent prayer,

To show the world, God’s love and care.

I believe in God's ability and will to heal. I also know that sometimes He doesn't. But I still pray. As the daughter of a man who is barely hanging on to who he used to be - I still ask. Every day for the last 9 years, I ask. I hope. I believe. I trust. And as I lose a little bit more of my Daddy with every passing day.... I hold on. Healing doesn't always come. But provision always does. Healing for him in this life may not happen. But no matter what the outcome, grace will be there. Grace for living...... Grace for dying..... No matter what the journey will be. Grace will be there to carry him - to carry us - through it.

Divine Providence

“The Book of Wisdom, speaks to us of Divine Providence. “Your providence, O Father, guides… (14:3). You love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned (11:24). God … is the guide of Wisdom and the director of the wise.…
