                        Being Mindful ofΒ God

                        We don't know the blessings God will unfold before us if we are faithful and intentional. Its not just about the time we set aside for Him. It’s remembering Him throughout our day, seeking His guidance before we act, and caring enough about what He thinks to ask, β€œLord, what would You have me do?” Use today for good - walk faithfully and intentionally todayβ€”and watch what God unfolds.Β πŸ’Ž [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                        Today’s One Year Bible Verses: Esther 8:1–10:3, 1 Corinthians 12:27–13:13, Psalm 37:1–11, Proverbs 21:23–24


                        Walk Faithful and Intentional

                        It’s easy to think the significant moments of our lives will be obviousβ€”the big decision, the open door, the moment when God asks us to do something extraordinary. But much of the life God calls us to is built in ordinary days through seemingly ordinary choices.

                        Today is one of those days.

                        The Lord reminds us in today’s Gem of Knowledge:

                        β€œUse today for good. Find ways to walk in holiness before me and do my will as I direct you. If you will do this, you will see great blessings unfold before your very eyes. Walk faithful and intentional today.”

                        Walking intentionally with God means caring about Him enough to be mindful of Him throughout your day. It’s remembering Him in the ordinary moments and seeking His guidance before we actβ€”not making our decisions and then asking Him to bless them.

                        When God is on our minds, we naturally begin to ask, Lord, what would You have me do? Then, as He directs us, we choose to follow. That is what it means to walk faithfully and intentionally with Him.

                        Today’s reading in Esther shows us what can unfold through that kind of obedience. Esther had already risked her life by approaching the king and exposing Haman’s plot. Now, in chapters 8–10, everything begins to turn. The decree meant to destroy God’s people is countered, Mordecai is elevated, and sorrow becomes celebration.

                        Scripture says, β€œThe Jews were filled with joy and gladness and were honored everywhere” (Esther 8:16, NLT).

                        Esther couldn’t have known how everything would unfold when she first chose to obey. She simply did what God placed before herβ€”and eventually she saw the fruit of that faithfulness with her own eyes.

                        Psalm 37 gives us similar instruction: β€œTrust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper”(Psalm 37:3, NLT).

                        Trust in the Lord and do good.

                        Don’t become distracted by what others are doing or discouraged when someone else seems to be getting ahead. Keep your eyes on God and intentionally choose what is right before Him.

                        And what does that look like practically?

                        First Corinthians 13 gives us a beautiful answer: β€œLove is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude” (1 Corinthians 13:4–5, NLT).

                        Sometimes we make holiness complicated when God gives us opportunities to practice it all day long. Be patient with the person who tests your patience. Speak kindly when you could be sharp. Refuse gossip. Celebrate someone else’s blessing. Put another person’s needs ahead of your convenience.

                        Even Proverbs 21:23 reminds us, β€œWatch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble” (NLT). Sometimes holiness is as simpleβ€”and as difficult!β€”as knowing when not to say something. πŸ˜‚

                        God isn’t asking you to figure out everything He has planned for your future today. He’s asking you to faithfully walk with Him today.

                        Esther couldn’t see chapters 8, 9, and 10 while she was living chapter 4.

                        Neither can we.

                        We don’t always know what God is building through our obedience or what blessing may eventually unfold from it. Our responsibility is simply to follow Him through the part of the story we’re living now.

                        So today, look for opportunities to do good. Listen for His direction. Choose love, integrity, holiness, and obedience.

                        Use today for good – walk faithfully and intentionally todayβ€”and watch what God unfolds.Β πŸ’Ž


                        Action (5 Minutes with God)

                        Give God at least 5 intentional minutes of your time today. Ask Him:

                        • β€œLord, what do You want me to know about this personally?”
                          • Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
                        • Then ask, β€œWhat do You want me to do?”
                          • Journal what He reveals – then do it!

                        Pay attention today. Look for God moments – the opportunities He gives you to love, serve, encourage, forgive, or obey. One small act of obedience may matter far more than you realize.


                        Prayer

                        Lord, help me walk faithfully and intentionally with You today. Open my eyes to opportunities to do good, love others, and choose what pleases You. Help me hear Your direction and obey even in the small things. I trust that You see the whole story when I can only see what is in front of me. May my choices honor You and prepare the way for whatever You desire to unfold. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, amen.

But when was the last time you came to Him simply because you wanted Him? No agenda. No prayer list. No distractions. Just time to love Him, worship Him, and enjoy His presence. Don’t only seek what God can give you. Seek Him for Him. ❀️ [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                                                                                Today’s One Year Bible Verses: Esther 4:1–7:10, 1 Corinthians 12:1–26, Psalm 36:1–12, Proverbs 21:21–22


                                                                                Seek Him For Him

                                                                                There are many reasons we come to God. We need direction, healing, provision, answers, protection, wisdom, or help with something we simply cannot handle on our own. And God welcomes us when we come with our needs. He is our Father, and He wants us to depend upon Him.

                                                                                But there is another kind of seeking that draws us into a deeper relationship with Himβ€”the kind where we come because we simply wantΒ Him.

                                                                                The Lord explains it beautifully in today’s Gem of Knowledge:Β 

                                                                                β€œBy giving Me time every day, your undivided attention and worship, with no other motives than to love Me and be with Me, this is how you will find Me.”

                                                                                There is something deeply intimate about spending time with someone when you want nothing from them.

                                                                                You aren’t there because you need a favor. You aren’t trying to accomplish something. You simply love them and want to be near them.

                                                                                God desires that kind of relationship with us too.

                                                                                In Esther 4, Esther suddenly finds herself facing something far greater than herself. Haman has arranged for the destruction of her people, and Mordecai challenges Esther to recognize that perhaps God has positioned her in the palaceΒ β€œfor just such a time as this” (Esther 4:14, NLT).

                                                                                But Esther doesn’t immediately rush into action.

                                                                                She first calls everyone to fast.

                                                                                β€œGo and gather together all the Jews of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same” (Esther 4:16, NLT).

                                                                                Before Esther approached the king, she sought God.

                                                                                Before the strategy came the surrender. Before the action came the time set apart.

                                                                                And after those days of fasting, Esther walked forward with remarkable wisdom. She didn’t panic or impulsively accuse Haman. She waited. She prepared a banquet. Then another. She moved carefully until the right moment came, and God used her obedience to expose what had been hidden.

                                                                                Perhaps some of the wisdom we are asking God for is found in the time we haven’t yet given Him.

                                                                                Psalm 36 gives us a beautiful picture of what happens when we draw near to God. David says,Β β€œYou feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see” (Psalm 36:8–9, NLT).

                                                                                I love that.

                                                                                The light by which we see.

                                                                                We often come to God asking Him to show us what to do, where to go, or how something will work out. But sometimes the answer isn’t found by concentrating harder on the problem. It comes by drawing closer to the One who gives us light to see.

                                                                                First Corinthians 12 reminds us that God has also given each of us His Spirit and placed us within the body of Christ according to His design.Β β€œGod has put each part just where he wants it” (1 Corinthians 12:18, NLT). We don’t have to manufacture our place, our gifting, or our purpose. As we know Him, we begin to recognize how He has made us and where He is leading us.

                                                                                But relationship must come before usefulness.

                                                                                God doesn’t only want the part of your day where you bring Him your prayer list. He wants your heart. Your attention. Your affection. Your worship. He wants moments when you close the door on everything else and say,Β Lord, I don’t need anything from You right now. I just want to be with You.

                                                                                That kind of time can feel difficult in a world constantly competing for our attention. Phones buzz. Responsibilities call. Thoughts wander. Even our quiet time can become another task to accomplish.

                                                                                But love makes room.

                                                                                And perhaps that is the invitation todayβ€”not simply toΒ find more time for God, but to give Him time that belongs completely to Him.

                                                                                No agenda.

                                                                                No multitasking.

Put away your phone and anything else competing for your attention. Don’t begin with your list of needs. Worship Him, talk with Him, sit quietly with Him, or simply tell Him what you love about Him. Give Him your undivided attention for no other reason than this:Β you love Him and want to be with Him.

Teach me to quiet the distractions around me and give You my undivided attention. Help me make room for You every dayβ€”not out of obligation, but because being with You becomes the desire of my heart. Thank You for welcoming me into Your presence and for being the fountain of life and the light by which I see. More than answers, blessings, or direction, Lord, I want You. Draw me closer and help me know You more. In Jesus’ name, amen.

                                                                                                    By Elizabeth Prata

                                                                                                    Invariably, when I say that no one is hearing from God now because the Bible is finished and His word is His ‘voice’, people rebut with unscriptural comments like “But I hear from God,” or “Acts 2 says prophecy isn’t done.”

                                                                                                    Everything we need to know about the revelation God wanted us to know, is in His word.

                                                                                                    That also means, prophecy is not happening at this point in time, either. God is not giving extra-biblical, new revelation to people to speak to individuals or to churches. And invariably, the ‘whatabout’ people come back with a verse in Acts 2:17-18,

                                                                                                    β€˜AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,
                                                                                                    β€˜THAT I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
                                                                                                    AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS WILL PROPHESY,
                                                                                                    AND YOUR YOUNG MEN WILL SEE VISIONS,
                                                                                                    AND YOUR OLD MEN WILL HAVE DREAMS;
                                                                                                    AND EVEN ON MY MALE AND FEMALE SERVANTS
                                                                                                    I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT IN THOSE DAYS,
                                                                                                    And they will prophesy.

                                                                                                    A convention in the Bible is that in the New Testament, when you see all-caps, the New Testament writer is directly quoting a passage from the Old Testament. In the Acts 2:17-18 case, it’s from Joel 2.

                                                                                                    The verse continues with the following, and read closely,

                                                                                                    AND I WILL DISPLAY WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE
                                                                                                    AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
                                                                                                    BLOOD, FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.
                                                                                                    20β€˜THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
                                                                                                    AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
                                                                                                    BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD COMES.
                                                                                                    21β€˜AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.’

                                                                                                    This prophecy from Joel rolls out in stages. Yes, the LORD is pouring out His spirit on flesh. It happened for the first time at Pentecost, onto Gentile flesh as Jesus begins to build His church. But on ALL flesh (ESV, NKJV, KJV)? Not yet. That will be fulfilled in the millennium Kingdom when all who enter it will be saved people, with the Spirit in them.

                                                                                                    Warren Wiersbe comments on Acts 2:17-18,

                                                                                                    Peter did not say that Pentecost was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel 2:28–32, because the signs and wonders predicted had not occurred. When you read Joel’s prophecy in context, you see that it deals with the nation of Israel in the end times, in connection with “the Day of the Lord.” However, Peter was led by the Spirit to see in the prophecy an application to the church. He said, “This is that same Holy Spirit that Joel wrote about. He is here!” Wiersbe, W. W. (1996). The Bible exposition commentary.

                                                                                                    The sky hasn’t turned vaporous, the sun hasn’t been dimmed, and the moon hasn’t been turned to blood. We conclude that the Joel reference to women and men prophesying is going to occur at the very end of the end of the age, along with the other signs. The Spirit being poured out on SOME flesh (not all flesh) was merely a glimpse of the power and events to come. As one commenter illustrated, the signs at Pentecost were like lightning on the horizon, showing the distant power to come. Prophecy isn’t happening now. Neither are visions.

                                                                                                    One other minor rebuttal. When people say that God ‘would not save people and then be silent all the time’ I remind people to remember the “400 years of silence” after Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament, concluded.

                                                                                                    Romans 12 describes the use of the given spiritual gifts in the New Testament times. The word to ‘prophesy’ is used (as a verb). In that verse it means something different that receiving new information and turning around and speaking it to the people. At the John MacArthur Daily Bible we read,

                                                                                                    “Romans 12:6-8 describes the general categories of spiritual gifts. These come to us “according to the grace given”-undeserved and unmerited. The gift itself (1Co 12:4), the specific way in which it is used (1Co 12:5), and the spiritual results (1Co 12:6) are all sovereignly chosen by the Spirit completely apart from personal merit (1Co 12:11).”

                                                                                                    “Prophecy.” This Greek word means “speaking forth” and does not necessarily include prediction of the future or any other mystical or supernatural aspects. Although some prophets in Acts did make predictions of future events (11:27-28; 21:10-11), others made no predictions but spoke the truth of God to encourage and strengthen their hearers (15:32; vv. 22-31).”

                                                                                                    “The evidence does suggest, however, that in the first century, before the New Testament was complete and the sign gifts had ceased (1Co 13:8; 2Co 12:12; Heb 2:3, 4), this word may have had both nonrevelatory and revelatory facets. In its nonrevelatory sense, the word “prophecy” simply identifies the skill of public proclamation of the word of God (1Co 14:3, 24-25; 1Pe 4:11). “According to the proportion of his faith.” Literally, “the faith,” or the fully revealed message or body of Christian faith (Jude 3; 2Ti 4:2). The preacher must be careful to preach the same message the apostles delivered.”

                                                                                                    In other words, as the canon was being completed, the prophetic new revelations dwindled. The same happened with the healing gifts. You may remember in 1 Timothy that young Timothy did not ask for miraculous healing for his stomach troubles, Paul simply advised him to take a little wine for them. Medicinal healing was suggested, not miraculous healing. 1 Timothy 5 was written in about 62-65 AD, thirty years after the crucifixion. Revelation direct from God to individuals was slowing down, and concluded in around 92AD when John the Revelator penned the last New Testament book. That book ended with the command in chapter 22 that anything added to or taken away from that book will rain down curses upon the person doing it.

                                                                                                    Do not feel marginalized nor jealous when it seems people around you, or your favorite platformed teacher seems to be having regular conversations with Jesus. They aren’t. They are puffed up without reason. (Colossians 2:18). They will be dealt with severely by Jesus. Be glad you aren’t hearing from God! Cling to His written word only. You will be blessed.

Esther didn’t know what God was preparing her for. She simply remained teachable, willing, and obedient. And all along, God was shaping her for a purpose she couldn’t yet see. Maybe the stretching you’re experiencing isn’t meant to break you. Maybe the Potter is preparing you. Stay moldable in His hands. You may be in preparation for such a time as this. ❀️ [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                                                                                                                                                            We often ask God to use us, bless us, increase our wisdom, deepen our faith, and lead us into His purpose for our lives. But sometimes we forget that becoming who God created us to be requires being willing to change.

                                                                                                                                                            And what perfect timing as we begin the book of Esther today.

                                                                                                                                                            The Lord reminds us in today’s Gem of Knowledge,Β 

                                                                                                                                                            β€œBe moldable, willing and able to change to my bending. I want to make you more than you are now. Wiser, happier, holier. But you must allow it. Amen.”

                                                                                                                                                            God sees more in us than what we are today. He knows what He created us to become, where He intends to position us, and what will be required of us when we get there. But becoming that person often means allowing Him to shape things within us first.

                                                                                                                                                            Esther is such a beautiful example.

                                                                                                                                                            When Esther was brought into the king’s palace, she entered a season of preparation. She was given beauty treatments, instruction, guidance, and time to become ready for what was ahead. But what stands out about Esther is her willingness to receive direction. Scripture tells us, β€œEsther had not told anyone of her nationality and family background, because Mordecai had directed her not to do so” (Esther 2:10, NLT).

                                                                                                                                                            She listened.

                                                                                                                                                            Later, when it was her turn to go before the king, Esther again demonstrated a teachable spirit. Rather than insisting on what she thought would make her impressive, β€œshe accepted the advice of Hegai, the eunuch in charge of the harem”(Esther 2:15, NLT).

                                                                                                                                                            And what happened? β€œEsther was admired by everyone who saw her” (Esther 2:15, NLT).

                                                                                                                                                            Esther did not yet know the magnitude of what God was preparing her for. She could not see Haman’s plot coming or know that one day the lives of her people would depend upon her willingness to step into the position she was being prepared to occupy.

                                                                                                                                                            But God knew.

                                                                                                                                                            That is something worth remembering when God begins bending and shaping areas of our own lives.

                                                                                                                                                            We may not understand why He is challenging an attitude, changing a habit, teaching us patience, asking us to forgive, stretching our faith, or making us uncomfortable with something we once accepted. We may simply feel the pressure of being changed.

                                                                                                                                                            But God sees what comes next.

                                                                                                                                                            He isn’t shaping us simply for the sake of changing us. He is making us moreβ€”wiser, happier, holier, and increasingly prepared to carry what He has entrusted to us.

                                                                                                                                                            First Corinthians 11 gives us another side of this truth. Paul tells believers to examine themselves before coming to the Lord’s Table: β€œThat is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup” (1 Corinthians 11:28, NLT). A moldable heart is willing to let God show us what needs to change instead of immediately defending what is already there.

                                                                                                                                                            That can be uncomfortable. Sometimes we would much rather ask God to change our circumstances than allow Him to change us.

                                                                                                                                                            But there is freedom in becoming teachable before Him.

                                                                                                                                                            Psalm 35:28 says, β€œThen I will proclaim your justice, and I will praise you all day long” (NLT). As God shapes us, our lives increasingly become a reflection of Him. Our responses change. Our wisdom grows. Our priorities shift. Holiness becomes less about following rules and more about becoming like the One we love.

                                                                                                                                                            And just like Esther, we may not understand today what God is preparing us for tomorrow.

                                                                                                                                                            The correction you receive today may become the wisdom you need later. The patience He is developing may prepare you to lead someone. The humility He is teaching may protect you when He gives you influence. The faith He is stretching may be exactly what you need when your moment comes to stand courageously.

                                                                                                                                                            So don’t resist the Potter’s hands simply because the shaping feels unfamiliar.

                                                                                                                                                            Stay soft. Stay teachable. Stay willing.

                                                                                                                                                            God sees who you are nowβ€”but He also sees everything you can become when you allow Him to shape you.

                                                                                                                                                            You may just be in preparation for such a time as this. πŸ’Ž

                                                                                                                                                              • Journal what He reveals – then do it!

                                                                                                                                                            Instead of immediately resisting something that feels uncomfortable, consider whether God may be using it to develop wisdom, holiness, patience, courage, or another quality you will need for what He has ahead. Give Him permission to change you.

Help me not to resist You when You challenge me, correct me, or lead me beyond what is comfortable and familiar. You know who You created me to become and what You are preparing me for. Give me a teachable heart like Estherβ€”willing to listen, learn, grow, and follow Your direction. Make me wiser, happier, holier, and increasingly like You. Shape me today for the purpose You already see ahead. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Heather was born with a congenital heart defect and wasn’t expected to live. Through multiple heart surgeries, breast cancer, chronic illness, and ongoing physical challenges, God has continued to meet her again and again. In this powerful episode, Heather shares how her struggles have deepened her faith and given her a purposeβ€”to bring hope to others walking through chronic and invisible illness. Sometimes testimony doesn’t say, β€œEverything is perfect now.” Sometimes it says, β€œJesus is still here.” ❀️ [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

After multiple heart surgeries, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and ongoing physical challenges, she has every reason to ask, β€œGod, why?”

                                                                                                                                                            In this episode of the Gems of Knowledge Podcast, Heather shares how Jesus has continued to meet her in the painβ€”and how God is now using her story to bring hope, community, and purpose to others living with chronic and invisible illness.

                                                                                                                                                                But, I don't talk too in depth about my faith that often on Fedi. I mentioned it on my old account that I wanted to start doing so more frequently. So, I may start.

                                                                                                                                                                I take a lot of notes when I am in church as I Have a LOT of thoughts about my faith.

                                                                                                                                                                As a person who reads the Gospel and takes from it that you need to be radically compassionate, radically loving, radically caring of all people and to come to the Lord as you are at this very moment, seeing folks who use my faith to wrap themselves in Trumpism, homophobia, transphobia, or any form of hate hurts me to my core. It happens often in the United States.

                                                                                                                                                                People take the message of hope and love from a brown Jewish carpenter living in occupied land and twist it to fit their own narrative.

                                                                                                                                                                Progressive, socialist Christians need to fight to reclaim Jesus in today's world where Christianity is wrongly tied to conservative capitalism.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Look To God

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I think one of the hardest battles we face is the battle within. The enemy tries to tear us down with lies about who we are in an effort to thwart us from accomplishing our calling and purpose in God.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I believe these lies plague us all in one form or another. You’re not good enough. You’re not qualified. You’re too weak. You don’t have what it takes. Someone else could do it better. Who do you think you are?

                                                                                                                                                                                                  And if the enemy can get us to believe those lies, he doesn’t necessarily have to stop us himself. We may stop ourselves.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  We begin examining our weaknesses, comparing ourselves to others, and taking inventory of everything we think we lack. Eventually, we can become so focused on our own inadequacies that we lose sight of the One who called us in the first place.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  But today’s Gem of Knowledge turns our attention away from ourselves and back to the One we should have been looking at all along:

                                                                                                                                                                                                  β€œEveryone lacks without Me. I make you whole. And because I am with you always, that means you do not lack anything. You are enough because I make you enough. You are whole because I make you whole. You are capable because I make you capable. You got this because I got you. Stop looking at yourself and look at Me. Amen.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                  There is so much freedom in those words. God isn’t asking us to convince ourselves that we’re independently strong, capable, or sufficient. He is our sufficiency.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Of course we will find weaknesses when we look at ourselvesβ€”we’re human. There will always be something we don’t know, something we haven’t mastered, or someone who appears more qualified. But God never intended for us to accomplish His purposes apart from Him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  In today’s reading, Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem and discovers that things have once again fallen into disorder. Responsibilities have been neglected, provisions for the Levites haven’t been maintained, the Sabbath isn’t being honored, and compromise has crept back in.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Nehemiah could have become overwhelmed by everything that was wrong. Instead, he addressed each problem and continued the work God had given him. His ability to fulfill his assignment wasn’t dependent upon perfect circumstances or having an easy task. He continued moving forward with God.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Psalm 35 gives us another picture of that dependence:

                                                                                                                                                                                                  β€œO LORD, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                  β€” Psalm 35:1 NLT

                                                                                                                                                                                                  David understood that some battles were bigger than he was. His answer wasn’t to become biggerβ€”it was to call upon God.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  The same is true when the battle is happening inside our own minds.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  When the enemy says, You’re not enough, we don’t have to argue that we are enough on our own. We can answer, God makes me enough.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  When he says, You’re not capable, our answer is, God makes me capable.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  When he points out what we’re lacking, we can stop staring at ourselves and remember Who makes us whole.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  God knew every weakness you would have when He called you. He knew your personality, your limitations, your past, what you would struggle with, and everything you would still need to learn. None of it surprised Him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  And He still called you.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  β€œYou got this because I got you.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                  That is where our confidence belongsβ€”not in believing we can do anything, but in knowing that with God, we can do whatever He has called us to do.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  So stop allowing the enemy to make you stare at yourself.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Look to God. πŸ’Ž

Forgive me for focusing on my weaknesses instead of Your strength. When I feel inadequate, teach me to look at You. You are my strength, wisdom, and help, and I trust You to make me capable of everything You call me to do. Thank You for making me whole and for reminding me that I don’t have to do any of this without You. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, amen.

You don't shout it across the room for everyone to hear. You motion for them to come closer. I think there are things God wants to speak to us that require that same kind of closeness. Today’s Gem of Knowledge says: β€œThere are secrets I want to reveal to you. Come closer so I can show you. Amen.” There is a difference between knowing someone from across the room and sitting with them at the table. Closeness changes everything. Come closer to Him to hear what He wants to reveal to you. πŸ’Ž [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Draw Close To Hear Him

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Have you ever tried to tell someone something quietly in a crowded room? You don’t shout it across the room for everyone to hear. You motion for them to come closer. Maybe you lean toward them and lower your voice because what you’re about to say is meant only for that person that came close enough to hear it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I think there are things God wants to speak to us that require that same kind of closeness.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Today’s Gem of Knowledge says:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        β€œThere are secrets I want to reveal to you. Come closer so I can show you. Amen.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        What a beautiful invitation. God isn’t saying,Β Figure Me out.Β He isn’t asking us to search harder for some hidden code or chase mysterious knowledge. He is simply saying,Β Come closer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        In today’s reading, Paul speaks about communion and what it means to participate in the Lord’s Supper:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        β€œWhen we bless the cup at the Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ?” β€” 1 Corinthians 10:16 NLT

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        God doesn’t merely want us to know about Him; He invites us into fellowship with Him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        There is a difference between knowing someone from across the room and sitting with them at the table. Closeness changes what we hear, what we notice, and eventually how well we know their heart.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Our relationship with God works much the same way. There are things we begin to understand only as we spend time with Him. Scripture comes alive differently. His direction becomes easier to recognize. We begin noticing His fingerprints in places we might once have overlooked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Not because we’ve become spiritually elite, but because we’ve drawn near enough to listen.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        In Nehemiah 11, sacred lots were cast to choose who would live in Jerusalem, near the Temple and the presence of God. What a beautiful picture alongside today’s Gem:Β God was calling people closer.Β And through Jesus, that invitation is now extended to usβ€”come closer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Psalm 34 contains another invitation that fits God’s heart for us:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        β€œCome, my children, and listen to me, and I will teach you to fear the LORD.” β€” Psalm 34:11 NLT

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Notice the progression:Β Come. Listen. Learn.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sometimes we want God to reveal mysteries but don’t want to take the time to come close to HIm. We want answers about tomorrow, direction for our decisions, understanding about what He’s doing, or deeper revelation from His Word. Yet sometimes His answer may simply be,Β Come sit with Me.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        And the β€œsecrets” God wants to reveal aren’t necessarily spectacular mysteries about the future. Sometimes the treasure He wants to show us is something aboutΒ His heart. He may illuminate a Scripture we’ve read many times before, expose something in our own heart that needs changing, give us wisdom for a situation, reveal how He is working behind the scenes, or help us see another person through His eyes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The revelation comes through personal, intimate relationship.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Psalm 34:18 tells us,Β β€œThe LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” God isn’t distant from His children. He draws near, and He invites us to draw near to Him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Perhaps you’ve been asking God for answers and haven’t received them yet. Instead of striving harder to figure everything out, consider His invitation today.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Come closer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Turn off the noise for a little while. Open His Word without rushing. Sit quietly with Him. Worship. Ask Him what He wants you to know instead of only telling Him what you need Him to do.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        There are things the Lord wants to show usβ€”not because we’ve earned access to secret information, but because intimacy with God naturally produces a deeper understanding of His heart.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        You don’t have to shout across the room.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Your Father is inviting you to His table.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Come closer and listen. πŸ’Ž

Write down anything He brings to your attention, and test what you hear against His Word.

I don’t want to be satisfied with simply knowing about You; I want to know Your heart. Quiet the distractions around me and within me so I can recognize Your voice. Teach me through Your Word, give me wisdom and discernment, and reveal whatever You want me to understand. Draw me closer to You every day and help me treasure time in Your presence. I am listening, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Complacency = Condemnation

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              There is a dangerous place in any battle that can feel deceptively safeβ€”the place where we decide not to engage. We may not intentionally surrender to the enemy or consciously walk away from God. We simply become comfortable, distracted, or indifferent until eventually, we stop deliberately choosing at all.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              But in a spiritual battle, refusing to choose is still a choice.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The Lord gave me a sobering warning in today’s Gem of Knowledge:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€œDon’t be a casualty of war because you didn’t choose. Complacency = Condemnation. Don’t let it take you over or it will win. Cast it out, rebuke it, guard yourself against its future attacks. I don’t want to lose you. Amen.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Those final words reveal the heart behind the warning: β€œI don’t want to lose you.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              God isn’t looking for an opportunity to condemn us. He is warning His children because He knows there is a real enemy who would love to lull us into complacency. The danger is becoming too comfortable.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Paul gives the Corinthians a similar warning in today’s reading. He reminds them of the Israelites who experienced incredible things with God. They were delivered from Egypt, passed through the sea, ate supernatural food, drank supernatural water, and witnessed God’s power firsthand. Yet many eventually turned away from Him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Paul tells us why their story was recorded:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€œThese things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€” 1 Corinthians 10:6 NLT

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              We can know God, experience His goodness, and still become distracted if we stop guarding our relationship with Him. Complacency usually doesn’t happen overnight. Prayer gradually becomes less important, God’s Word gets pushed aside, conviction becomes easier to ignore, and before we realize it, we’ve drifted.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              That is why Paul warns:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€œIf you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€” 1 Corinthians 10:12 NLT

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Nehemiah 9 shows the same pattern. God had continually provided for Israel, protected them, instructed them, forgiven them, and shown them mercy. Yet when they became comfortable, they repeatedly turned away.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              After looking honestly at their history, the people made a different choice. They renewed their covenant and committed themselves to following God.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              That is the opposite of complacency.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Following Jesus isn’t merely a decision we made years ago. Every day we choose whose voice we will follow, what we will pursue, and where we will place our trust.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              When complacency begins creeping in, the Lord tells us what to do:Β β€œCast it out, rebuke it, guard yourself against its future attacks.” Return to prayer. Open His Word. Obey what He has already told you. Remove whatever is pulling your heart away from Him and deliberately turn your attention back toward Jesus.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              And remember, you aren’t fighting alone:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€œGod is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€” 1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              As this end-times series of Gems comes to a close, perhaps this is the question God is leaving with us:Β Have you chosen, and are you continuing to choose Him?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              God doesn’t want us frightened by what is happening around us. He wants us awake, close to Him, and able to recognize the spiritual battle without becoming casualties of it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              β€œI don’t want to lose you.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              So stay close. Guard your heart. Resist complacency, and keep choosing Jesus. πŸ’Ž

Forgive me for the places where I have become complacent or distracted. Awaken anything in me that has fallen asleep and help me recognize the enemy’s attacks before they take root. I choose You, Jesus. Help me stay close, obey Your voice, and remain faithful. You are my refuge and my strength. Guard my heart and keep it firmly fixed on You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
