All The Days Of Our Life…

Today, let’s embrace the incredible truth of being relentlessly pursued by God’s goodness and love, all the days of our lives, and forever.

Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6

Sometimes, it’s the simplest words that hold the deepest truths. “Surely goodness and love will follow me”—it sounds so gentle, so passive. But the Hebrew word for “follow” here? It’s radaph. It means to chase, to pursue, to run after.

This isn’t a picture of blessings casually trailing behind us. This is a God who actively and relentlessly pursues us with His goodness and love. It’s love on a mission.

Think about it. That unexpected provision when you were at your wit’s end. That comfort that flooded your heart in the midst of grief. That strength somehow carried you through the impossible. That wasn’t chance—that was His pursuit. His grace is pursuing you.

And here’s the best part: this pursuit leads to an eternal home. “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Today, let this truth sink in. You are chased by a love that will never give up, a love that’s already prepared your place with Him, forever.

Father, I confess—sometimes I run. From my fears, my failures, even from You. But You don’t let me go. You chase me with a love that’s relentless, a goodness that won’t quit. Thank You for finding me in my mess, for holding me when I’m broken, and for dancing with me in my joys. Help me see Your pursuit in every moment—in the quiet whispers of peace, the strength that surprises me, and the hope that breaks through my darkest nights. Remind me I’m not wandering; I’m headed home, to dwell with You forever. Thank You for loving me too much to let me go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Angels Look Down…

I’ve always wondered why Jews wear caps called yarmulkes or kippahs on their heads. The Rabbi’s give me different reasons, but the fact is no one knows for sure. But some explain it that it’s because of the angels looking down, so they won’t see bald heads.

That’s just tradition, but it’s written in the Scriptures that even the angels long to see what God is doing in you. In the original Greek, it reads that the angels passionately, eagerly, long to catch a glimpse of God’s purposes on earth.

Some believers act like this planet is just a cosmic waiting room to get out of as soon as possible. But that’s not what God’s Word says. So if even angels long to see, then your life and what you do with it must be something important.

You don’t have to wear a yarmulke, but do something for the angels. Start overcoming, being courageous, being sure, victorious, loving, step out, and stand up!

Do what you know God put you on earth to do. The angels are watching. Give them something to talk about.

And you shall gird Aaron and his sons with sashes and bind caps on them. And the priesthood shall be theirs by a statute forever. Thus, you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.  Exodus 29:9

Today, live your life as if every moment the angels were looking down on you.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Our Daily Walk…

Today, let’s rest in the assurance that God walks beside us through every challenge. As i always end my devotionals: Walk daily with God at your side. We’re never alone in our worries.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

Fear. It’s a familiar adversary, a shadow that threatens to darken even the brightest of days. But in the face of this relentless foe, God speaks a promise that has the power to change everything: “Do not fear, for I am with you.”

These words are more than just a comforting platitude; they’re a declaration of divine presence and power. They remind us that no matter what we face, we are never alone. The God who commands the galaxies is always by our side, always for us, always ready to strengthen and uphold us.

When He says, “I am your God,” it’s a statement of unshakable commitment. It’s His pledge to be our refuge when the storms rage, our help when we are helpless, our courage when fear looms large.

So today, whatever fears may be threatening to overwhelm you, remember: you are held by a God who is greater than them all. Take hold of His promise, and let it be your anchor in the midst of the tempest. You are loved, you are strengthened, and you are upheld by the mighty hand of God. And with Him, you can face anything.

Dear Lord, sometimes, fear casts a shadow over my heart, threatening to drown out Your voice. But I choose to cling to Your promise, the truth that I’m never alone, that You’re always by my side. Help me trust in Your unfailing love and unbreakable commitment, even when fear seems overwhelming. Remind me that Your presence is more powerful than my problems, that Your strength is greater than my struggles. Today, I choose faith over fear. I choose to believe that with You by my side, I can face anything. Thank You for being my courage and my peace. I’m trusting in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Feed your fears, and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Heavenly Circles…

It may seem like nothing’s really happening where you are at this point in time. But that’s not really the case. Every second, the earth is moving 18.5 miles in its journey. Every tick of the clock, you’re 18.5 miles away from where you were before the last tick.

When you count to 10, you’re about 200 miles away from the place you were when you started counting. It’s not just true for the earth; it’s true for all earthlings, including you and me. Every life is changing. Every soul is moving either towards God or away from God.

Your life is heading somewhere. It’s meant to head for glory. That’s why the Lord says; “I know the plans I have for you, plans for Shalom, not for calamity.” God wants to bring your life to a good place.

Since you’re going places anyway, make sure you’re always moving towards God and not away from Him. Don’t stay where you are, because you can’t.

Move ahead in love, ahead in faith, ahead in righteous action, and ahead in all things godly, because in God, you’re going places.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 3:12-14

Today, especially follow the leading of the Lord and move ahead in righteous action.

The heavens call to you and circle about you, displaying to you their eternal splendors, and your eye gazes only to earth.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Limitless Possibilities….

As dawn breaks and we step into the grace of a new day, let’s uplift our hearts with the power of God’s limitless possibilities, a promise made evident in our verse today.

Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man, this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.’
Mark 10:27

Do you ever find yourself standing before your personal Mount Everest, staring at an obstacle that feels impossible to overcome? In these moments—when we feel utterly helpless—Jesus’ words in Mark 10:27 become our lifeline: “With man, this is impossible, but not with God.”

This isn’t just a feel-good slogan; it’s a shift in perspective. While the world glorifies self-reliance, Jesus calls us to see our limitations as opportunities for His power to shine.

The promise isn’t that our problems vanish but that God steps in when we reach the end of ourselves. It’s about letting go and allowing the Master Craftsman to turn our obstacles into opportunities.

Remember, the same God who created the universe isn’t intimidated by your impossible. What feels like a dead end is the beginning of His work. Today, face your mountain not with fear but with anticipation—because it’s the stage for God’s next miracle.

Heavenly Father, thank You for being the God who does the impossible. When I stand before mountains that seem too high, remind me that You’re the One who moves them. Help me let go of trying to solve everything on my own and open my heart to the incredible ways You work. Give me the courage to see my obstacles as moments for Your power to shine. Let my life be a reflection of how You can do far more than I could ever ask or imagine. And when doubts creep in, ground me in the truth that Your plans are always good and always for my best. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Doubting Your Doubt…

Zacharias was performing his priestly duties in the Holy Place inside the Temple when an angel of the Lord appeared and told him that he and his wife would have a son in their old age.

His response was, “How can I be sure?” That’s a good question. How can we be sure about anything? If we can’t be sure of anything, then we can’t be sure about not being sure because doubt requires faith.

If you doubt, then ultimately, you’re trusting in your doubt, your reasoning, and your own judgment. Can you really trust yourself, your feelings, or your reasoning? Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us that God’s ways are higher than our ways.

So, either way, faith or doubt, you have to trust something or someone. Doesn’t it make sense to trust God whose ways are above you? Because if you’re afraid to really believe in something, you’ll never live for anything.

If you’re afraid to trust in what’s good, you’ll trust in what’s not good – you’ll trust in doubt. So why put your faith in doubt? Stop putting faith in doubt, and put it where it belongs, with God.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.  James 1:5-8

Today, start practicing holy doubt ” start doubting all your doubts ” and anything that is not of God.

God says, instead of doubting me, doubt your doubts. They have so little power, and I have the power to destroy them in second. Pray to me.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Inside Proverbs 11:25…

Good morning,

Today, let’s explore the joy of generosity and discover how giving from a place of love can lead to a life of abundance.

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
Proverbs 11:25

Have you ever felt the warmth that spreads through your heart when you help someone? That’s the essence of Proverbs 11:25. It’s not just ancient wisdom; it’s a blueprint for a joyful, abundant life.

Generosity isn’t always easy. Sometimes, we feel stretched thin, our resources depleted, our energy drained. But that’s precisely when God’s promise shines brightest. This proverb assures us that in our giving, we’re mysteriously replenished. It’s like a spiritual law of nature: the more we pour out, the more we’re filled up.

Think about it: a river doesn’t run dry by flowing; it’s constantly refreshed by its source. Similarly, as we generously share our time, talents, and resources, we tap into the boundless generosity of God.

Today, let’s be intentional about refreshing others. It could be a simple smile, a helping hand, a listening ear, or sharing what we have, even when it feels like we have little to give. As you step out in faith, watch how God’s grace flows through you, bringing blessings not only to others but also to your own heart.

Remember, in God’s economy, generosity isn’t a loss – it’s an investment in joy.

Dear God, thank You for the countless ways You bless me every day. Sometimes, I feel like I have so little to give, but You remind me that even small acts of kindness matter. Help me to see those around me who need encouragement, a kind word, or a helping hand. Teach me to give with a joyful heart, knowing that You’re the one who fills me up. When I feel empty or stretched thin, remind me that Your grace is enough. Remind me that in giving, I am blessed, and that true abundance comes from sharing Your love. Thank You for showing me that in giving, I truly receive. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.

Inflation Buster…

When we look at our circumstances, sometimes we don’t see how we can get ahead, own and not just rent, or accomplish our dreams. With inflated gas and food prices and high interest rates, we may not see a way in the natural. But God is a supernatural God.

Go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.
Matthew 17:27

When we come to the end of our resources, He says, “I’ll make streams in the desert. I’ll take five loaves and two fish and multiply them to feed thousands.” When Peter didn’t have money to pay the temple tax, Jesus told him to go to the lake and the first fish he caught would have a coin in its mouth that covered his and Jesus’ tax. 

God was showing us that He has supernatural provision. He’s not limited by what you don’t have, by your education or career. You may be barely getting by today, but you’re going to come out of not enough into more than enough.

God is not a get-by God. He’s an overflow God. Don’t live with a lack mentality, a limited mindset. Have an abundant mentality.

Father, thank You that You are in no way limited to what my circumstances look like and have been. Thank You that I am in the palms of Your hands, and You have supernatural ways of providing for my needs. Help me to have an abundant mentality and believe in overflow to bless others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Make More Room…

Good morning! Today, let’s discover the freedom that comes when we make more room for Jesus in our lives.

He must become greater; I must become less.
John 3:30

It’s hard to choose less in a world that screams “more.” To step back when every instinct cries “forward.” To point to another when the spotlight feels warm on your face. Yet, John the Baptist, at the peak of his ministry, did just that—and found joy in it.

This wasn’t a trivial sacrifice. Imagine your life’s work, your influence, seemingly fading as people turn elsewhere. But John? He was overjoyed. “He must become greater; I must become less” wasn’t reluctant surrender; it was the cry of a heart overflowing with purpose.

John understood a truth we often miss: true freedom isn’t found in chasing the spotlight, but in reflecting His light. It’s a daily surrender—laying down our need for control, our hunger for recognition, our own plans—to embrace His infinitely better one.

When we decrease, we make room for Jesus to increase. And in that beautiful exchange, we discover who we were truly meant to be: windows, reflecting His glory, His love, His grace to a world desperate for the true light.

What do you need to let go of control and let Jesus take center stage?

How could your life today point others to Him?

Think about it. Your answers just may surprise you.

Dear Father, forgive me for the times I’ve chased the spotlight, when all along it should have been on You. Empty me of myself—my need for control, my craving for recognition. Help me find true joy in reflecting Your light, not my own. Make me a window, Lord, clear and bright, so that Your grace, Your love, and Your truth shine through to everyone I meet. Use me to point others to You. Thank You for the freedom and peace that come when I step back and let You increase. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.

It’s Already Planned Out…

God told Abraham that He had a four hundred-year strategy for his family. When the Israelites came out of Egyptian slavery loaded down with treasure, it looked as though God just suddenly decided to bless them.

The truth is that God had planned they would be enslaved and endure suffering for four hundred years, but He would bring them out, turn around the injustice, and thrust them into their purpose in the Promised Land.

It’s easy to worry about how problems are going to work out tomorrow. Uncertainty can bring anxiety and cause us to live stressed and uptight. We look at things in the short term, but God has been working on His plan for your life for generations.

Long before you were born, He’s been lining up what you need, arranging things to fall into place so you can fulfill your purpose. God was thinking of you hundreds of years ago, working on your behalf.

Generations back, He was bringing everything into alignment—the right people, good breaks, solutions to problems, mercy for mistakes. It’s already planned out.

Then the LORD said to [Abraham], “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there…and afterward they will come out with great possessions.”
Genesis 15:13–14

Father, thank You that You have been working on Your plan for my life for generations. Thank You that I can stay in peace knowing that You are working behind the scenes and directing the outcomes. Help me to be patient and know that You are bringing me into my purpose. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

What the world offers you is temporary. What God offers you is eternal.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
