Blessing Message

My dear child of God, I greet you in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Today, for our meditation, let’s reflect on 1 Peter 5:10, which says, “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” It is a wonderful blessing that the God of all grace has called us to His eternal glory.

But when we live in this world, we have to go through many trials and temptations, right? If you read I John 5:19, it says, “The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one, satan.” Psalm 143:3 says the devil makes us dwell in darkness. The devil wants us to experience darkness, suffering, and depart from the presence of the Lord. Instead of focusing on the darkness, we should look to the light, the Lord Jesus Christ. When we do that, what will happen? Psalm 18:28 and 32 say, “The Lord will enlighten all the darkness and make our way perfect.”

That’s why the Lord Jesus went through all sufferings on the cross. Through His sufferings, we can receive all of God’s abundant blessings. We should always look to the cross because He has finished everything. He has gone through all our difficulties in His body, soul, and mind, and He has given us deliverance from all our problems. We should remember this at all times. Through His sacrifice, we have received all of God’s abundant blessings. Hebrews 2:18 says, “Because He Himself has suffered when tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.”

My friend, do not be afraid of your problems or suffering. Instead, pray and look to the Lord. Through your simple prayer, God will deliver you from whatever problem you may have, and it will be gone forever. Will you look to the cross today?

PRAYER: 
Heavenly Father, thank You so much for this day. I am grateful for Your grace, mercy, and love. Sometimes, I find it hard to understand Your plan for my life, and I admit that I let my problems bring me down. But right now, I come to You, putting my full trust in You to dispel the darkness and guide me on the right path. I pray that Your truth becomes real in my heart so that I can follow You better. Just as Apostle Paul prayed, I ask that no struggle or pain will ever make me distant from You. Let everything I experience in life point to Your eternal glory in Christ so that I, as Your child, can testify to the truth. Help me to seek that which is invisible and eternal and to keep trusting, loving, and following You, no matter what happens. Thank You for calling me to eternal glory through the cross. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
