Welcome to another day with Jesus, another day to offer our praise and worship to our Savior!
Our lives is not about ourselves. We can do our jobs, build relationships, go to church but at the end of the day when we reach Heaven, we will realise how much we have missed God’s plans and purposes for us.
Ask Samson, a man with great strength but with less spiritual intelligence.
It is true that God can use our failures, our mistakes and our brokenness to bring glory and honour to Himself but that does not justify for all lifestyles.
David enquired with God before every battle. Samson could have spoken to God or enquired a prophet on how to fight the Philistines but instead he went and asked a women who pleased him.
I pray that in all decisions and dealings you will enquire God first who can turn your mistakes or short coming for His glory! You can save yourself alot of heart ache and tears. Samson had lay down his life in order to protect and save his people because of the choices He made.
The Bible says Samson settled for things that pleased him but not God. Can we run away from things that don’t not please God?
When we chose to live a lifestyle which pleases God, we will accomplish His will. Share on XPursue God, His heart and His will today!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
