Choose to Wait with Comfort and Joy Scripture: Psalm 27:14 (KJV) “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Ponder This Waiting can be difficult when we want answers, relief, or change. We may feel tempted to rush ahead or lose hope when nothing seems to be happening. David encourages us to wait on the Lord with courage. We can find comfort in Our Father’s presence and joy in His goodness, even while we have unanswer

Build Knowledge Scripture: Acts 18:24–26 (KJV) “And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way

Turn Scripture: Joel 2:12 (KJV) “Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.” Ponder This Fasting means choosing to go without food for a period of time to give focused attention to Our Father through prayer. We fast to humble ourselves, seek Him, and turn our hearts toward Him. We make time to pray, read His Word, and obey what He teaches us. Fasting does not make Our Father love us more o

Don’t Lose Hope in the Waiting Scripture: Psalm 31:14–15, 23–24 (KJV) “But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. Psalm 31:14–15 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.” Psalm 31:23–24 Ponder This In Psa

Thou Art My God Scripture: Psalm 140:6 (KJV) “I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.” Ponder This David faced people who planned evil against him, but he turned to the Lord. In the middle of his trouble, he declared, “Thou art my God.” We, too, can declare who Our Father is when life feels uncertain. We may not be able to control what others say or do, but we can bring our concerns to Him. As we pray, let us remember that we belong

Search It Out Scripture: Proverbs 25:2 (KJV) “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” Ponder This World Changers, don’t stop at what you see on the surface. Sometimes we draw conclusions before we take time to seek understanding. Our Father invites us to search deeper. Search His Word. Ask questions. Listen to Holy Spirit. Don’t let assumptions or impatience keep you from discovering what Our Father wants to reveal. Searc

Flip the Script Scripture: Psalm 73:17, KJV (*Please read the entire chapter for a better understanding) “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.” Ponder This World Changers, Asaph helped lead worship, yet he struggled when people doing wrong seemed to prosper while he suffered. He wondered whether living faithfully had been worth it. We can wrestle with those thoughts, too. In the sanctuary, Asaph gained perspective. Their prosperity was temporar

Take a Nap Scripture: 1 Kings 19:5 (KJV) “And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.” World Changers, sometimes we are tired. We have been carrying responsibilities, helping others, and pushing ourselves to keep going. When Elijah was overwhelmed, Our Father cared for his physical needs. He slept, ate, and rested again before continuing his journey. Give yourself permission to pause. You do not have to fi

Why Not Try? Scripture: Psalm 34:8 KJV “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Ponder This World Changers, how often have we talked ourselves out of something before taking the first step? We may say, “What if I fail?” But what would happen if we said, "What if we learn? What if Our Father uses that step to grow us?" Past disappointments can make us hesitant to try again. Yet yesterday’s outcome does not tell us everything Our Father

Repent or Resist? Scripture: Proverbs 28:13 (KJV) “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Ponder This When Our Father reveals areas in our lives that need correction, we have a choice: repent or resist. Too often, we make excuses, justify our actions, or blame others rather than acknowledge our wrongs. Refusing to repent allows pride and stubbornness to harden our hearts toward Our Father's voice. Repentance is

I Hit the Rock — Forgive Me Lord! Scripture: Numbers 20:8, 11 (KJV) Verse 8: “Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water: and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.” Verse 11: “And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, an

What Do I Do With Dreams? Scripture: Genesis 40:8 (KJV) “And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.” Ponder This World Changers, while Joseph was in prison, two of Pharaoh’s servants were troubled by dreams they did not understand. Joseph reminded them that interpretations belong to Our Father. Likewise, when we have dreams or others approach us

Escape! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” Ponder This World Changers, Our Father is faithful! No matter what temptation or test we face, He has promised to provide a way of escape. However, we must recognize the way He provides and be will

Treat Others How You Want to Be Treated Scripture: Matthew 7:12 (KJV) “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Ponder This World Changers, Our Father has given us a simple but powerful instruction: treat others the way we desire to be treated. If we desire kindness, let us show kindness. If we desire respect, let us give respect. If we desire patience, forgiveness, and understanding, let

Process It, Don’t Suppress It! Scripture: Psalm 62:8 (KJV) “Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Ponder This World Changers, disappointment is a part of life, but how we process it matters! When things don't turn out as expected, we must acknowledge our feelings rather than suppress them. Sometimes, simply talking through our disappointment with Our Father or someone we trust can help lessen its emotional impact

He’s Watching, So Run Your Race Well! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:16-27 (KJV) 16. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 17. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. 18. What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse n

Praise Him! Scripture: Psalm 117:1–2 (KJV) 1. O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. Ponder This World Changers, we are reminded of two powerful reasons that we can always praise our Father: for His merciful kindness and His everlasting truth. Our praise should not depend on our circumstances but on who He is. Situations change, feelings cha

Don’t Stop Building! Scripture: Jude 1:20–25 (KJV) 20. “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,” 21. “Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” 22. “And of some have compassion, making a difference:” 23. “And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” 24. “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, a

Don’t Believe Your Flesh! Scripture Romans 8:8 (KJV) “So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.” Galatians 5:16 (KJV) “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Ponder This Our flesh will always experience feelings. Our flesh will attempt to justify our attitudes, excuse our behaviors, and convince us to follow our feelings rather than Our Father’s Word. We must learn to acknowledge and process our feelings without allowi

Take Those Negative Thoughts Captive Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Ponder This Negative thoughts about ourselves, others, finances, or circumstances can rob us of joy and peace and hinder us from fulfilling Our Father’s will. Even our good intentions can become overwhelming when we try to orchestrate w
