W@W WRAP – Week 350
Set Apart as Holy Vessels – Have you ever stopped to consider that God has set you apart to accomplish something that only you can? You are unique. God made you special. As we read God's Word, we learn that being 'holy' means being set apart for God’s purpose. Only through our belief in Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour are we made holy. From that moment on, we become useful to God to fulfil the tasks that He has set before us. The amazing part is that He gives us instructions in His Word and through His Spirit equips us to navigate through life, becoming honourable vessels for His glory! (2 Timothy 2:21-25)
W@W WRAP – Week 349
The Kingdom of God... – Have you ever noticed that what the world applauds as success is often the opposite of what God considers success? Indeed, sometimes the Kingdom of God appears upside-down compared to the kingdom of this earth. Jesus' servant-hearted approach and counter-cultural way of living challenged our world’s narrative of power, greed and self-centeredness in His time, as well as today. Jesus urged His followers then, as His Word urges us today, to live according to the Kingdom-principles He taught us. (Matthew 5:43-48)
W@W WRAP – Week 348
Intimacy with our God – Have you ever felt the need for more intimacy in your life? Maybe your best friend has moved away, or you are grieving the loss of a loved one. It could also be that you desire to be closer to our Heavenly Father, Who at this moment may seem distant. Whatever the reason, these situations leave us with a hole in our hearts and a longing for connection – someone to share our ups and downs with. The good news is that our Lord Himself desires to be that intimate companion to us, in the good moments and the not-so-good ones! (Psalm 119:57–64)
W@W WRAP – Week 347
You are not alone! – Do you sometimes feel like you're navigating life on your own? Even if those who usually walk with you through rough times are absent, you are never alone. Our Lord Jesus promises us, from Genesis to Revelation, and everywhere in between, that He will never leave or forsake us. He promises to walk with us and show us how to walk in His ways. (Deuteronomy 31:6-8)
W@W WRAP – Week 346
On our Knees Before our Lord! – What really matters in life brings us to our knees – either literally or in our hearts. Our Lord invites us to surrender every detail of our lives to Him, no matter how big or small. While we may feel we can handle certain situations on our own, our God is always ready to be a part of every solution we need. He promises never to leave our side and to help whenever we ask. When faced with challenges such as relationship struggles, financial issues, job concerns, or health issues, we can know that our Lord is there for us, waiting to help us through. (John 14:10-14)
W@W WRAP – Week 345
How He Loves Us! – Have you ever felt like you aren’t really significant in this world? It's easy to become disheartened when faced with circumstances outside of our control, or when the news fills us with anxiety. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we aren't sure how to handle, and we wish we had someone to turn to for guidance. The great news is that we have! You are so special to God that He not only created you… He knew you before you were born, and He knows the plans He has for you! He loves you unconditionally and is always willing to help you grow in your identity in Christ. (Psalm 139:13-16)
