God's Desire

As Christians, we deeply desire the salvation of everyone. In the same way, God our Savior longs for all people to be saved and to come to the true knowledge of the truth. This invitation echoes throughout history, calling us to redemption through His Son, Jesus.

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
- Colossians 1:13–14

In light of this calling, we are challenged to reflect on our personal response. Amid the demands of daily life, God continually invites us to immerse ourselves in His truth. The journey of faith is one we share together, a pursuit of a deeper understanding of God's best for us.

Just as a flower opens to the light, we are called to open our hearts to the truth He has revealed. God's desire reaches beyond the limits of time, embracing humanity with redeeming love. In response to His invitation, we seek the truth with all our hearts, allowing the light of salvation to dispel the shadows.

.... God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
- 1 Timothy 2:3b–4

God desires that everyone come to know Him! At the heart of God is a passionate longing for all people to know the truth, to be saved, and to enjoy a personal relationship with Him. As the church, we are urged to pray that this becomes a reality. We are also called to be faithful examples of Christ.

But are we living in step with God's desire? Do we share His longing for everyone to be saved? Let us pray today for the expansion of God's kingdom and ask that our lives would be living examples of people transformed by His love and forgiveness.

Yesterday's Word

People to help you

Life is a wonderful gift from God to each of us, and that’s why we must make the most of every second. There are moments when life becomes very difficult, but God never abandons you. He chose specific people to walk with you and help you, and it’s important that you learn to value them.

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
- Philippians 1:3–4

Do you remember a moment of pain or sadness in your life? Was there someone by your side encouraging and caring for you? Take a moment to thank God for that person and to pray for them. Perhaps right now that person is the one in need of encouragement and your prayers. Intercede before God on their behalf.

Sometimes other people don’t realize how much they’ve impacted our lives. If possible, express your gratitude to someone who was special to you during a time of anguish or sadness. Let them know how their attitude, word, or smile helped you in difficult moments. Today, be an encouragement and a blessing to the one who helped you in specific moments.

Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.
- Philemon 1:7

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Seek the face of God this morning

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
- Psalm 27:8

God wants to bless and guide you today. Start your day by seeking His face, His presence. Listen to the longing in your heart, that desire to build a deeper friendship with God. Set aside a few minutes each morning to talk with your heavenly Father.

Begin your day by reading His Word and listening to His voice filled with love, and you'll see your life perspective begin to shift. Seeking God's face every morning spending time with Him will change the way you face problems or difficulties. Seek the Lord’s face today!

Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
- Isaiah 55:6–7

God does not reject those who approach Him with humility and seek Him with all their heart. He is the God of love, the forgiving God who is always standing with open arms, ready to receive His children. Seek Him with all your being. Talk to Him in prayer, read His Word, and receive everything He wants to give you today.

Have a blessed and joyful day!
