Today’s Bible Verse – Philippians 1:12-13 (NIV)

"Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ."

Ever wondered if your struggles have purpose? In Philippians 1:12–13, the Apostle Paul encourages believers by revealing how his imprisonment—what looked like a setback—was actually part of God’s plan to advance the gospel. This verse reminds us that even in pain or limitation, God is working through us for His glory.

Today’s Bible Verse:
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." - Luke 14:26

At first glance, Luke 14:26 can feel shocking and even confusing. Why would Jesus use such strong language about family and even our own lives? In this passage, Jesus is teaching that following Him requires absolute devotion—a love for Him so great that every other loyalty pales in comparison.

Today’s Bible Verse:
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." — Psalm 32:8

Psalm 32:8 offers a powerful promise of divine direction and care. God doesn’t just command us from a distance—He personally guides, teaches, and counsels us with love. When uncertainty clouds our next step, this verse reminds us that we’re not walking alone.

God’s guidance isn’t harsh or impatient. It’s tender, watchful, and rooted in His desire to lead us toward wisdom and peace. All He asks is our willingness to listen and trust His gentle instruction.

Today’s Bible Verse – John 5:7

“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me. - John 5:7

In John 5:7, we hear the voice of a man who has been stuck—physically and emotionally—for 38 years. His words reflect a deep sense of helplessness and isolation, but they also open the door for one of Jesus’ most powerful miracles.

This verse is a reminder that even when we feel unseen, unsupported, or left behind, Jesus sees us. He meets us in our waiting, our longing, and our weariness—and invites us to healing that goes beyond what we imagine.
