Will you choose to worry or place your trust in God? Embarking on a spiritual journey toward the Lord requires us to recognize the trials that challenge our faith. It is crucial to remain steadfast in our beliefs, as highlighted in 2 Corinthians 5:7, which urges us to walk by faith rather than by sight. This trust in God's promises empowers us to move forward with confidence, even in times of uncertainty. During difficult moments, we must focus on the Lord and seek Him earnestly, relying on His unwavering faithfulness regardless of our circumstances. Two years ago, I encountered a significant financial crisis that compelled me to take out a loan. Initially, I managed the repayments, but soon I fell behind as I prioritized other expenses, resulting in mounting late fees. Overwhelmed, I turned to my faith for guidance, seeking wisdom from the Lord on how to navigate my financial struggles. In a surprising turn of events, God provided clarity and sent someone to help me regain control. This experience reinforced the importance of trusting Jesus in every aspect of my life, as neglecting this trust only led to feelings of being overwhelmed. Jeremiah 33:3 assures us that when we call on God, He will respond and offer insights that can lead to transformative change. Had I continued to rely solely on what I could see, I would have missed the opportunity for God to intervene, and I would still be in debt. Instead, I chose to trust Jesus, and once again, He made a way. God takes joy in blessing us, and recognizing these blessings begins with placing our trust in Him. I encourage you to dedicate time this week to strengthen your faith in Jesus. Ephesians 3:20 emphasizes that God can do "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think," showcasing His ability to exceed our expectations. Allow the Lord to work in your life, and you may witness remarkable outcomes unfold.

Please keep your chin up, your prayers lifted up to the Lord Jesus most high and never stop believing that one day there will not be any more suffering. This world is not out home. For their will be a new world with the believers of Christ Jesus who died for our sins. No more pain, sickness, death, violence, tears, brutality, no more. Scripture in the King James Version (KJV) promising no more sickness is anchored in the hope of heaven and redemption, most notably in Revelation 21:4: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain". I believe! I am so grateful we serve such a Mighty God who knows all things. We can hide our thoughts, intentions and feelings from each other but not from Him. We’re not promised tomorrow. Not one. But he who believes and continues to keep the faith will be in heavenly places one day. The Bible offers hope of reuniting with loved ones who have passed away in Christ, primarily through the promise of resurrection and eternal life in heaven. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is a key verse, stating, "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. What a GLORIOUS DAY THAT WILL BE HALLELUJAH! Praise God. This world has sin. Because of sin there’s tragic outcomes but they aren’t forever friend- forever isn’t yet. So don’t lose hope. Don’t let the devil lie to you for that’s what he does. Revelation 12:9: Calls him "the great dragon... that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world". So keep your hope strong and your prayers lifted up to God who is with you through every step, who brings light in the darkest places and hours. Need strength? Need wisdom? Got questions about all this? The Bible has truth! 🙏

Why Can the U.S. Spend Billions Abroad While Americans Can't Afford Food or Rent? People ask this question all the time, and it's a fair one: How can the United States spend billions on other countries while people here struggle to put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads? The short answer is priorities Federal spending isn't based on what Americans need most - it's based on what Congress treats as non-negotiable. Military spending and foreign aid tied to "national security" are fast-tracked, bundled into must-pass bills, and rarely questioned Programs that help Americans eat, pay rent or stav housed are framed as "entitlements" and endlessly debated Another uncomfortable truth: war is bic business. Defense spending supports massive corporations, campaign donors, and jobs spread across congressional districts. Cutting food or housing aid hurts vulnerable people. Cutting defense contracts hurts powerful interests. Guess which one gets protected. It's also important to understand that much of what's called "foreign aid" isn't charity. A arge share iS military aid or weapons funding, and much of that money never leaves the U.S. - it goes straight to American defense contractors. Politicians can claim they're helping allies while the monev circulates back into corporate profits. Meanwhile, hunger and housing insecurity are treated as personal failures instead of national emergencies. If food insecuritv or unaffordable rent were framed as security The U.S. does not lack money t lacks political will This isn't about choosing America or the world. It's about acknowledging that a country capable of funding wars indefinitely is also capable of ensuring its people can eat and live with dignity - if it chooses to You can't fix a svstem until you're honest about what it values.
