Verse of the Day: 9th June 2025

Luke 18:14 NIV
[14] “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

https://bible.com/bible/111/luk.18.14.NIV


The Upside-Down Way

In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable about two men who go to the temple to pray. One is a Pharisee, proud of his religious achievements, listing them off as proof of his righteousness. The other is a tax collector, a man despised by society, who simply beats his chest and cries out, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Jesus shocks His listeners by saying that it’s the tax collector—not the Pharisee—who goes home justified before God. Why? Because God doesn’t measure righteousness by outward actions alone, but by the posture of our hearts.

Pride tells us we can earn our way to God. Humility recognizes that we can’t. The Pharisee was focused on himself—his good works, his superiority over others—while the tax collector was focused on God’s mercy.

Jesus reminds us in today’s verse that “all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” The Kingdom of God turns human expectations upside down. Those who rely on their own goodness will miss it. Those who recognize their need for grace will find it.

True righteousness begins with humility—acknowledging our dependence on God. When we approach Him with a heart like the tax collector’s, we don’t just find mercy—we find true exaltation in His presence.

Verse of the Day: 8th June 2025

Acts 4:31 NIV
[31] After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

https://bible.com/bible/111/act.4.31.NIV


Speaking Boldly About Our Hope

Picture this: Jesus had lived, died, and risen again. Some of His closest friends—Peter and John—were telling everyone about this miracle they had witnessed. They even performed some astonishing miracles in Christ’s name, like healing a beggar who’d been crippled from birth.

Thousands of people believed Peter and John’s testimonies about Jesus, but many of the religious leaders did not. In fact, in their eyes, such messages and miracles were dangerous, so they had Peter and John arrested.

But after they had served their sentences, Peter and John went back to the other believers, doing what was natural to them—praying bold prayers and trusting in God. Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭31‬ ‭tells us that “...when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.”

Peter and John were in the habit of gathering together with other believers, praying together with other believers, and speaking boldly about the Word of God. As they did these things, the Holy Spirit filled them with the supernatural power of God.

Like Peter and John, who faced tons of opposition for their faith, we can keep trusting in and walking with God. We can keep gathering together with like-minded believers. We can keep praying bold prayers that can’t be accomplished on our own. We can keep speaking boldly about the hope we have in Jesus.

And as we do that, God’s Spirit will fill us and guide us every step of the way.

Verse of the Day: Sat. Jun 7 2025

1 Corinthians 16:13 NIV
[13] Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.

https://bible.com/bible/111/1co.16.13.NIV



Be Strong and Courageous

When Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthian church, he was writing to believers experiencing intense division.

Power and politics within the church community were causing Christians to stray from Jesus’ teachings and compete with each other. Because of this, the poor suffered, people were confused, and immorality was tolerated. 

So, after calling out their mistakes and showing them how to live Spirit-filled lives, Paul summarized his desire for the Corinthians with these words: 

"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong." 
1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT

"Be on guard." Paul uses this phrase to remind his friends to keep watch over their lives, their community, and their choices. He knew that if they didn’t stay aware, they wouldn’t notice the lies, tricks, or deceptions the devil was using to infiltrate their community.

"Stand firm in the faith." Immorality was a major issue in the Corinthian church. But instead of addressing this problem, Corinthian Christians tolerated it. So Paul reminded them that they were one body. If one person was allowed to disrespect God, then they were all part of the problem. Their ultimate desire should be to please God, not people.

"Be courageous. Be strong." In order to resist spiritual attacks, the Corinthians needed to stand strong together. They needed to courageously use their gifts and talents to strengthen their church community and help it grow—even when it seemed counter-cultural and uncomfortable.  

So what steps will you take to stand firm in what you believe with strength and courage? As you determine what choices you need to make, that God fights for you and His Spirit is with you.
