Word of the Day: simply trust in God
The Israelites were terrified! They were fighting the Philistines, and their army was being led by a giant. Goliath, who was a champion within the ranks of the Philistines, challenged the Israelites to send out their champion to fight him. No one was brave enough to do so, except for one young shepherd boy by the name of David. He was filled with faith in God and volunteered to face Goliath.
Despite being vastly outnumbered and facing a formidable opponent, David approaches Goliath armed only with a sling and five smooth stones. Goliath mocks him, but David declares his trust in God
"David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied."
1 Samuel 17:45
With unwavering trust in God's strength and protection, David slung a stone at Goliath, striking him in the forehead and defeating him. This miraculous victory showcases the power of trusting in God even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. David's faith and courage inspire us to trust in God's guidance and provision in our own lives, knowing that with God, all things are possible.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust
in the name of the Lord our God.
Psalms 20:7
We live in a material world of cars, money, and beauty, but all of these things must come to an end. Trusting in these things takes us a step further away from God and the life he has in store for us. But those who trust in God have their feet firmly on the Rock. Remember the story Jesus told of the man who built his life upon the rock, that man was ready to face the day-to-day challenges and struggles.
Today is a good day to ask yourself the question: who do I put my trust in? Everything but God will crumble away, but the Word of God will remain forever. Simply trust in the Lord, our God!

Word of the Day: Revival begins like this...
On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus' disciples, there was a great revival. It began with prayer. That's how every revival begins, God's people praying and calling out to God asking for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Revival is not necessarily immediate, it may take days, weeks, or even years, but when we pray and don't give up, God listens to us and brings revival. And in moments of waiting and persistence, God is not idle - he is at work shaping our character and preparing the ground for a revival that will extend beyond us and will impact our communities and nations.
2"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting."
[...]16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 "In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy."
[...]
21 "And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Acts 2:2, 16-18, 21
Do you pray for revival?
We should be praying continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17). This is the recommendation of the Apostle Paul in the Bible because he knew the power of prayer. In his life, he also experienced the power of revival. Seek the Lord daily through prayer and Bible reading, and you will see wonderful things happen in your life!
Pray earnestly, stay rooted in the Word, and anticipate the wondrous things that God will unfold in response to the cries of His people.
28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
- Joel 2:28-29

While hard work and dedication are essential, ultimately, it is God who opens doors and grants favor in our careers. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us to commit our work to the Lord, acknowledging His sovereignty over our plans and endeavors.

- Colossians 3:23
