Trusting in God’s Guidance

Founder’s Reflections #10:

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 | Jesus24365 Ministry

Good Evening, dear friends in Christ 🌙

Thank you for joining me today for another reflection here at Jesus24365 Ministry. 🙏 As we continue our journey of faith, today’s theme is about choosing God’s guidance over the deceit of worldly comforts. Life presents many challenges, and in those moments, we can either turn to what is easy or turn to what is righteous. I encourage each of you to take today as an opportunity to reflect on where you find your refuge and to embrace the WWJD mindset ✝️—seeking Jesus’ example in all circumstances. Let us begin with a simple prayer: 🙏 "Lord Jesus, guide our hearts today and help us find true relief and peace in You. Amen."

Guided by Grace in Hard Times 🌧️

We all face days when everything feels like it's going wrong—those days when nothing seems to work out, and we’re overwhelmed by the chaos. 😓 I remember weeks ago struggling with a ministry matter that seemed beyond my control. In moments like this, I used to turn to quick fixes—sugar, sleep, or even unhealthy distractions—hoping they would bring me relief. But this time, I decided to turn to Jesus. ✨ I prayed, I surrendered my burdens, and I went to bed with faith instead of anxiety. By God’s grace, the problem resolved itself by the morning—not through my own efforts, but by His intervention.

The takeaway is simple yet profound: When we let go and allow God to take control, His grace guides us even through the storm. Proverbs 12:5 reminds us: "The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful." True relief comes when we rely on God’s wisdom, not our own. 🌿

Embracing Jesus’ Strength in Our Weakness 💪✝️

Another struggle that many of us face is the temptation to seek advice from places that do not align with God’s will—whether it’s friends who do not follow Christ, worldly opinions, or even our own misguided desires. In those moments, we must ask ourselves, Are we listening to the devil rather than God? Proverbs 12:1 challenges us: "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid." It’s not easy to accept correction, especially when it comes from the Lord. Yet, each time we embrace His discipline, we grow stronger in our faith.

I encourage you to reflect: How has being open to God’s correction transformed your journey? Turning away from worldly advice may seem hard at first, but it is the key to staying rooted in His truth and experiencing the life He has for you. 🌱

Walking the Path of Faith Together 🚶‍♂️✝️

When we live with integrity and stay grounded in our values, our lives become unshakable—even in the face of adversity. Proverbs 12:3 says, "The righteous cannot be uprooted, but the wicked are no longer secure." This verse speaks of the deep strength that comes from a life anchored in Christ. At Jesus24365 Ministry, we strive to walk this path of faith together, ensuring every word, action, and decision is made through the lens of WWJD. By trusting in God’s timing and seeking His purpose, we build a stable foundation that withstands life’s storms.

As Charles Spurgeon once wrote, "Nothing can make a man so virtuous as a belief in the truth." It is the truth of God’s word that secures us, and the love of Christ that keeps us steady. ❤️ Let us choose to stand firm in His promises, no matter what challenges come our way.

For His Kingdom,

Jeff ❤️ ✝️
