Word of the Day: Be Successful with God

Seasons change and time passes. But Christians, who are trees planted in the love of God, have leaves that do not wither and always bear fruit in due season.

God promises that when we are rooted in His love, we can be successful!

They are like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.
- Psalm 1:3

Psalm 1:3 brings us a powerful image of a tree firmly rooted in streams of water. This tree symbolizes a blessed and fruitful life.

Just as the tree depends on the water to survive and thrive, we too need God's guidance and spiritual nourishment to grow and flourish. When we connect with God, we become like this tree, able to withstand life's storms because our roots are deeply anchored in faith and God's love.

Yields its fruit in season: This phrase teaches us the importance of patience and trust in God. Just as the tree does not rush the ripening of its fruit, we too should not hurry, but trust that everything will happen at the right time.

Its leaf does not wither: This reflects the constancy of divine blessing in our lives. Even in difficult times, when the leaves of our tree seem to wither, God's presence will sustain us and renew our strength.

Whatever they do prospers: This verse reminds us that when we seek to follow God's path, our efforts are blessed and fruitful. Prosperity here does not only refer to material wealth, but also to a life of meaning, love, and purpose.

Therefore, let us be like this tree by the streams of water, trusting in God's guidance, being patient in our spiritual growth, and confident that, with God's grace, we will prosper in every aspect of our lives.

Word of the Day: Let God's love transform your life

Genuine love is something very rare in today's world. We see people who don't care about others, only able to think about their own interests because they lack love. But when God fills us with His love, everything changes, and people notice the difference. Ask God to fill you with His sublime love!

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:14

As your heart becomes increasingly filled with God and His love, it will guide you in how you treat others and help you bless them.

There are many ways to share God's love with others. We can offer a word of encouragement to those we see who are sad or discouraged and even offer to pray for them. We can help, as much as possible, people in financial need, offering a meal, for example.

Open your heart today to God's love and see how it will help you understand and love others.

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Mark 12:30-31

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Word of the Day: Do you know the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?

God reveals Himself to us in three different forms: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we also refer to this as The Trinity:

  • The Father is the will, the heart of God. All plans come from the Father.
  • The Son is Jesus, God appearing as a man to save us.
  • The Holy Spirit is God entering into the hearts of those who believe, transforming their lives.

You could also think of the trinity as the narrative of our salvation: The Father began our salvation story, the Son accomplishes it through His death and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit applies it to our lives by convicting, transforming, and sanctifying us. Belief in the Trinity places salvation beneath the magnifying glass and provides a clearer view of God's perfect work of redemption.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Matthew 28: 18-19

The Trinity is an important part of the Christian faith. Note the last words spoken to by Jesus in the book of Matthew, in what is known as The Great Commission. We are commanded to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is treated equally in this passage by Jesus.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

2 Corinthians 13:14

The presence of God the Father, Son, and Spirit in your life fills your heart with joy and hope and enables you to live the life He desires for you. Without God in our hearts, there is a void in our spirits that we constantly seek to fill.

When we receive God and let Him reign in our hearts, everything changes. Our life finds a good direction, our spirit calms knowing it has been redeemed, and our heart leaps for joy when we feel the movement of God's Spirit. Let us worship the Trinity God, who has given eternal meaning to our lives.

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:3-7
