Today's Word
Armed with trumpets and jars
When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’
- Judges 7:18
Sometimes God’s calling comes with rather unusual instructions. That’s what happened with Gideon. God chose him to lead the people to victory against the Midianites, but the method to be used trumpets and jars was not a “conventionally warlike” method. However, Gideon obeyed God’s instructions, and in the end, he was victorious.
Therefore, if God has called you to do something for His glory, but you cannot understand the logic of His instructions, trust and obey! The way the Lord works is always the best, He knows the end from the beginning. Obey what He tells you, trust, act in His name, and you will achieve victory for the glory of God.
So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soulthen I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
- Deuteronomy 11:13–15

God Wants to Cheer Your Soul Today
A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
but heartache crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15:13
If your heart is troubled, know that this is not what God wants. He wants your sadness to come to an end!
God wants to cheer your heart because it's also a testimony of your faith, did you know? When your heart is filled with the joy of God, even your face becomes more beautiful and people will notice.
When God cheers your soul, it's not merely a fleeting emotion or a reprieve from difficulty. It's a transformation from the inside out, a profound shift in perspective that allows you to see the world through eyes illuminated by His love and grace.
Don't worry, feeling sad is not a sin. But God wants to lift you out of it! Do you want to receive this joy?
Let His joy fill every inch of your heart, filling you with a peace that is beyond all understanding and a hope that will carry you through every trial.
Experience God's joy today!
The Joy of The Lord is My Strength (Nehemiah 8:10 Explained)

The best way to live
What do we need to do to have a good life? That’s something we can learn from the greatest teacher: the Son of God! Jesus gave us many valuable, practical teachings that help us live in a way that pleases God. When we study the life and teachings of Jesus, we discover a better way to live.
The decision to live with Jesus and for Him will bring immense peace to your heart. Knowing that you are loved by the Almighty God will transform your heart so deeply that you’ll long to know Him more and live according to His will.
Read the Scriptures, study God’s Word, learn more about the life of Jesus, and let His life and teachings inspire you in your daily walk. Ask God to show you the changes you need to make in your life so that the way you live reflects who your Lord and Savior truly is.
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
- 1 Peter 2:4–5
