Devotions

"Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10 The disciples did not know it was Saturday. They only knew their world had ended on Friday. They sat in grief too deep for words, with no idea that Sunday was coming. Sometimes we live in Saturday seasons — when the promise seems buried, the prayer unanswered, the tomb sealed shut. But God has never once been defeated by a Saturday. He is still working in the silence. Hold on. Image from Christians Unite

"She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial." — Mark 14:8 Scripture is largely silent about this day — and perhaps that is the point. Not every holy moment announces itself. Somewhere in the quiet, a woman broke open her most precious possession and poured it over His feet. The disciples called it waste. Jesus called it worship. Some of the most significant things we will ever do for God will go unnoticed by everyone except Him. Do not despise the quiet offerings. Image from  Christians Unite

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and greatest commandment." — Matthew 22:37-38 All day the religious leaders came at Him — with trick questions, political traps, theological puzzles. And all day He answered with a wisdom that silenced every challenger. Then He turned it all into one breathtaking simplicity: love God, love people. Everything else hangs on this. In a world drowning in complexity, He hands us a compass. Are we still following it? Image from  Christians Unite

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey." — Zechariah 9:9 The crowds spread their cloaks and waved their palm branches, expecting a conquering warrior on a warhorse. Instead, heaven's King rode in on a borrowed donkey — not with a sword drawn, but with arms open wide. This was no political revolution dressed in armor; it was a divine rescue mission wrapped in humility. The same hands that flung stars into the sky held no weapon, sought no palace, commanded no legion. He came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Every expectation the world had of power and greatness, He quietly, deliberately turned inside out. No crown, no throne, no army — just a donkey and a King who came to give His life for the world. He still turns the world upside down. Will you? *Image via Instagram: @saltandlightwords Two w...

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." — John 14:27 (NIV) Life rarely promises calm waters. Storms arrive uninvited — in the form of loss, uncertainty, illness, or fear — and we are often left wondering why God doesn't simply still them. But Jesus never promised a storm-free life; He promised something far more enduring: His presence within it. Just as an anchor doesn't stop the waves but holds the ship steady against them, Christ becomes our steadfast anchor in the midst of life's most turbulent seasons. His peace is not the absence of trouble — it is the quiet assurance that we will not be swept away, because the One who commands the winds and the waves also holds us firmly in His hand.

​It is so easy to get lost in the immediate terrain—the steep hills we’re currently climbing or the fog of a difficult week—that we forget to look back at the horizon. But there is profound power in the simple act of stopping to notice the distance already covered. What a distance that might be!  ​When we strip away the noise and focus on the truth of the journey, we are often met with a beautiful, humbling realisation that we need to:  Take a moment and look at how far God has brought us. ​The Evidence of Grace ​In the New Testament, the apostle Paul captures this sentiment perfectly in 1 Corinthians 15:10 : ​ "By the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain." ​Turn around and look at the trail behind you. You are a survivor of seasons that felt like they would break you. So am I. If the Lord has been watching over you your current standing isn't an accident. In fact there are no accidents. His sustained divine support is eve...
