There Is Hope in Brokenness, so Don't Give Up. Life is full of surprises, and often, bad things happen when we least expect them. Many of us have faced challenges that have left us feeling broken, yet we haven't lost our resilience. It's okay to feel broken, as long as we don't let it consume us. Even in our brokenness, there is a glimmer of hope.

There Is Hope in Brokenness, so Don’t Give Up. Life is full of surprises, and often, bad things happen when we least expect them.

Genesis 32:22-32

Jacob’s struggle with the angel is a significant biblical event found in Genesis 32:22-32. During this encounter, Jacob, who was a broken man, wrestles with a mysterious figure, often interpreted as an angel or a representation of God, throughout the night.

This struggle symbolizes Jacob’s lifelong battle with both God and man, reflecting the spiritual and personal challenges he faced.

As dawn approached, the figure touched Jacob’s hip, dislocating it, yet Jacob refused to let go, demonstrating his determination and faith.

Ultimately, this encounter led to Jacob being renamed Israel, signifying his transformation and the establishment of the nation of Israel. 

So, there is hope in your brokenness. Don’t give up. Because sorrow may endure through the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Katy Nichole–”In Jesus’s Name”.

Today, Sep 02, 2023, as I rise from my slumber, I could hear the sweet sound of Katy Nichole’s song “In Jesus’ Name (God of Possible)” coming through my radio speakers. 

I must have heard the song a million times. But this morning, it was different–a prayer that reached the core of my heart, and for the first time, I paid attention to the lyrics. And as the music played, I realized God wanted me to hear those words this morning. 

Sometimes, as Christians, we go through many trials and tribulations, and we often feel as though we are alone. But Jesus said He will never leave us, and He will never forsake us. He is always watching over us and making petitions to the Father on our behalf.

Worship Wednesday.

Worship Wednesday.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Psalm 121–KJV

Holy Thursday

 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

Likewise, He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

Luke 22:19-20–NKJV

Worship Wednesday–Thank you, Lord

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Psalm 34:1-9–KJV
