God Will Rescue You: A Devotion on 2 Timothy 4:18

2 Timothy 4:18 “The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom.” A Word for You Today
Paul wrote these words from a prison cell. He had been abandoned by friends, and he knew his time was short. Yet he did not write with fear. He wrote with a quiet certainty: the Lord will rescue me. Maybe you’re carrying something heavy this morning. A worry you can’t put down. A situation you can’t fix. A weariness that sleep hasn’t touched. Take a breath and let this truth settle over you: God has not lost sight of you. He is not surprised by what you’re facing. He is not distant from it. The One who holds everything in His hands is the same One who holds you, and no attack, no sorrow, and no season of difficulty can reach you without first passing through His loving care. And this is not the end of your story. Whatever is pressing on you today is real, but it is not final. God is leading you toward something far greater than this moment: a home with Him, a future secured by His promise, a joy that no struggle can take away. So you can loosen your grip. You don’t have to carry it all. Rest in the One who carries you. Pause and Listen Before you pray, be still for a moment. Ask the Holy Spirit: “What do You want me to hand over to You today?” Then wait quietly. Let Him bring to mind what you’ve been holding too tightly. Prayer Lord, thank You that You are my rescuer and my protector. You see everything I’m facing, and You are not afraid of any of it. Today I place my burdens in Your hands. Help me to trust You, even when I can’t see the way forward. Hold me close, Holy Spirit, and remind me that my future is safe with You. You have never left me, and You never will. Amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
