Made Clear

Gospel Template

Today's Verse

"The former things I declared long ago, they went out from my mouth and I made them known; then suddenly I did them and they came to pass." – Isaiah 48:3

There is a purpose to our lives, a reason for being, right? Sometimes it is difficult to see what that purpose, that reason, actually is. There are always going to be moments like that in our lives, but we can take comfort in the fact that our purpose was already laid out. Isaiah 48 is a great reminder of that. In this chapter, Isaiah speaks the heart of God for his people. He cries out to them, warning them of the consequences of hurtful actions. God does the same for us. With each moment we are given, He desires to remind us of what is in our hearts, good or bad. When the time is right, our purpose, our reason for being, will be made clear. Let us ensure we are not embracing life as the people Isaiah was speaking to did. - Commentary by: Matthew J. Elliott

Today's Prayer

Father God, Thank you for having a plan and a reason for our being. As we endeavor to live for you, help us to embrace what you would desire for us and not what we would desire for ourselves. Amen.

Just Ask

Gospel Template

Today's Verse

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. John 16:24

There was one boy murmuring and grumbling as he was walking on the road. When he was asked why he was murmuring and grumbling, he said that his parents did not give him what he wanted. Then he was asked "did you ask them to give you that?" he plainly said no. Many of us have this problem. We don't receive because we don't ask. Jesus said that we should ask anything on his name, so that we will receive it and our joy will be complete. God knows our needs even if we don't tell Him, but he wants us to come to Him and ask. Praying for our requests to God, recognizes God as our provider, and it also signifies our dependence and trust in Him. So don't forget to ask in Jesus name. - Commentary by: Jeremy B. Trio

Today's Prayer

Lord, thank You for the promise and assurance that You are ready to give if we only ask. Help me Lord to be more prayerful than what I am now. Amen.

Christmas Light

Gospel Template

Today's Verse

"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined." –Isaiah 9:2

The people of Israel, before Jesus, were waiting eagerly for the promised Messiah. It was a dark time for the Israelites. They hadn't had a special word from God, through the prophets in quite a while, and the Romans had taken over the land in all their brutality. The Israelites were in desperate need of some hope and peace; some light to show them a better future. They were expecting a mighty warrior who could overthrow their cruel leaders. Jesus came, not as a conquering king, but as a vulnerable baby and a suffering servant. He brought more than earthly freedom; He brought heavenly light to show them the way to God. Let His light flood the darkness of your life and remember this Christmas season that He came to give you hope! - Commentary by Traci Elliott

Today's Prayer

Dear Jesus, thank you for coming to this earth and suffering through life, so that we could have your light dwelling in us, showing us the way to heaven. In Your name, Amen.

Once again, it is the end of the week and the weekend is before us.  I want to thank our new Patreon subscribers. Your support is very much appreciated and allows us to continue to do what we do and to grow our ministry. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas from all of

Merry Christmas,
