Father God, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind, and offer it to You. Accept my precious gift, for it is Yours to me. Amen and Amen. 07/13/2017 OCM-83656272 {Member of ULC 9/23/22 7545620-0414Susan Ruth Robertson202004377}

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
– Psalms 147:3-5

In these verses God who heals the brokenhearted is the same God who counts the stars. The One who tends to the vastness of the universe also bends low to bind your wounds. He is not either‑or, He is both infinite and intimate. When your heart feels fragile, remember: the God who names every star also knows your name, your pain, your story. Nothing in you is overlooked. Nothing is too small. Nothing is too shattered. His power is great, but His tenderness is greater still. And when He heals, He does not patch, He restores.

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, thank You and praise You for being both mighty and merciful. Heal the places in me that ache and bind every wound with Your gentle strength. Let Your infinite understanding meet my deepest need and let my heart rest in the God who knows every star and every sorrow. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.

“Tiny Storie”

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
– John 1:1-4

The Word walked through the dark before dawn, and wherever it passed, things began to remember why they existed. Stones hummed with purpose, rivers learned their names, and people found a small, steady light inside their chests. That light taught them how to see one another, and in seeing, they began to live together as if the world itself were a single, breathing sentence.

Psalm 34:8 text overlay on a sunrise view of a river winding through forested hills

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

  • Psalms 27:13-14

And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
– Luke 12:47-48

🙂These verses from Luke are a powerful reminder about responsibility and accountability: when we’re given much, we’re called to steward it faithfully. Wishing you a peaceful, blessed day. 🙂

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
– Revelation 7:9-10

These verses paint a breathtaking picture of heaven: a countless crowd from every nation, tribe, people, and language gathered before the throne and the Lamb, clothed in white and holding palms. Their song “Salvation to our God and to the Lamb”reminds us that the heart of eternity is worship and the universal victory of God’s redeeming work. This vision invites us to live with hope and mission: hope because our Savior’s victory is sure, and mission because the same gospel that gathers that multitude is the good news we are called to share. Let the scene shape our prayers, our priorities, and the way we welcome others into the story of salvation. Revelation 7:9–10 is not merely a future snapshot; it is a present summons, to live with hope, to work for the gospel among all peoples, and to shape our lives around the worship of the God who alone brings salvation.

I told my friend Karen about problems I was having. She said a song played in her head I’m going to see a victory because the battle belongs to you Lord. She said it kept playing over and over. That’s a tender, timely encouragement, a friend’s prayerful song can feel like God’s own whisper when we are carrying a heavy load. Powerful reminder that our struggles are not ultimately ours to win by strength alone. In Scripture God often fights for his people; our role is to trust, obey, and stand firm while He works. Let this promise steady you: when fear or weariness rises, remember that God is sovereign over the fight, and he invites you to rest in his power rather than carry the burden alone. Community matters too, a friend who prays and sings over you is a visible sign of God’s care.

Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
– Matthew 17:15-18

These verses are powerful! A parent’s desperate plea, Jesus’ frustration with unbelief, and then the clear, compassionate healing that follows. It reminds us that faith, persistence, and bringing our loved ones to Jesus matter, and that healing can come suddenly when we turn to him. I’ll keep your son (and anyone you care about) in my thoughts; may your prayers be answered and may you find peace and strength today.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
– Proverbs 8:11-13

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
– Isaiah 45:18

This is a powerful reminder of God’s purpose and care for creation.

Open Bible displaying John 3:36 about faith and eternal life

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

  • John 3:35-36

John’s words point to the absolute authority and life‑giving power of the Son. The Father’s giving is both an affirmation and a handing‑over: Jesus is entrusted with all that matters, authority, care, judgment, and the gift of eternal life. Belief in the Son is not merely intellectual assent; it is trusting the One who holds everything and who opens the door to life that never ends. To refuse that trust is to remain outside the life God offers, under the weight of his righteous judgment.

Lord Jesus, You hold all things in Your hand. Help me to trust You more fully, to live as one who already shares Your life, and to point others to the hope I have in You. Keep me humble before Your authority and bold in Your love. Love You, thank You, praise You and give Up all the honor and glory om Jesus Amen.

–But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
– 1 Corinthians 1:27-29
