Saturday, May 23, 2026 Proverbs 30:18–33 Humilty & Self-Control


Proverbs 30:18–33 reminds us that God’s world is filled with both mystery and wisdom. Agur looks at creation: the eagle soaring, the snake moving across a rock, ships crossing the sea, and stands in awe of things too wonderful to fully understand. Yet in the middle of that beauty, he also warns about pride, selfishness, immorality, and stirring up conflict.

The proverb teaches that wisdom is often found in small and humble places. Ants prepare ahead, locusts work together, and tiny creatures survive because they live wisely within God’s design. In the same way, believers are called to walk humbly, avoid foolish pride, and pursue peace instead of conflict.

True strength is not loud arrogance or self-promotion. It is quiet wisdom, self-control, and a life that honors God in both words and actions.


Lord, teach me to live with humility and wisdom. Help me learn from the order of Your creation and guard my heart from pride, anger, and selfish ambition. Give me self-control in my words and peace in my relationships so my life may reflect Your wisdom each day. 

Thank You for my church family; for church leadership; for those that are like a brother and sister to me because we serve You.  Lord, guide my spirit and help me to be a person that shows my love to You by communicating - praying - to You daily! Yea, even more than once a day. Thank You for the avenue of prayer. In the Name of the Christ, I pray, Amen.

Lord, Lead me to one soul today.

Prayer Starter - Thursday, October 23, 2025. God’s Faithfulness in Every Season

Image
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." As we grow older, life often brings unexpected challenges—health concerns, changes in relationships, and the reality of life's brevity. But in all the seasons of life, one thing remains constant: God's faithfulness. In the book of Lamentations, Jermiah the.prophet, reflects on a time of great sorrow and hardship. Yet, he still finds reason to hope. Why? Because God’s faithfulness is unwavering. Even when circumstances seem difficult or uncertain, God’s love and compassion never fail. His faithfulness isn't dependent on our circumstances; it’s rooted in His unchanging nature. If you’ve walked with the Lord for many years, you’ve no doubt seen this truth play out in your life. Perhaps you’ve experienced moments when you thought you couldn’t go on, only to see God provide in ways you never expected...

Prayers Starter - Thursday, December 18, 2025 The Gift of Assurance

Image
Assurance is God’s gift of steady confidence in His promises. In a world filled with uncertainty, God offers His children the peace of knowing that our salvation, hope, and future rest securely in Him—not in our own strength or performance. “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” — 1 John 5:13 God’s assurance reminds us that we belong to Him. When doubts arise or fears whisper that we are not enough, His Word speaks truth: we are held by His grace. Our confidence is not rooted in how tightly we hold onto God, but in how firmly He holds onto us. Through assurance, God calms anxious hearts and strengthens our faith. We move forward not in fear, but in trust—resting in the certainty that nothing can separate us from His love. Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of assurance — the confidence that comes from knowing I belong to You. When doubts arise and fears try to shake my faith, remind me that my...

Prayer Starter - Thursday, December 25, 2025 The Gift of Emmanuel - God with Us

Image
Merry Christmas.  Good morning, friend: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us ). — Matthew 1:23 From the very beginning, God’s desire has been to dwell with His people. The promise of Emmanuel - God with us  — is the fulfillment of that longing. In Jesus Christ, God did not remain distant or unreachable. He stepped into our world, our struggles, and our suffering. Emmanuel reminds us that God is present in every season of life. When we feel alone, He is with us. When we walk through uncertainty, He walks beside us. Jesus experienced human weakness, sorrow, and temptation, yet without sin, so that we could know God not just as Creator, but as Companion and Savior. The gift of Emmanuel assures us that we never face life on our own. God’s presence brings comfort, guidance, and hope. Because He is with us now, we can trust Him with our future. Emmanuel is not only a Christmas promise  —  it...
