  Psalms 103:6 NKJV says, “The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed.”   God does not ignore oppression and He does not overlook the pain of the weak. The word “executes” means God takes action. He rises to defend, to judge rightly, and to bring freedom where there has been bondage. The verse also says “for all who are oppressed.” This means no one is left out. If you are oppressed, God’s eyes are on you. His heart is for you. His justice is working on your behalf. Maybe you are suffering under an unjust system, unfair powers, or people who take advantage of you. God is concerned. Maybe you do not have the strength to fight back. Maybe you have tried everything and failed. Even then, God cares and God sees. Maybe you are facing spiritual oppression. In many families there are foundations of false gods, witchcraft practices, and evil patterns that try to control generations. Some family altars create systems that oppress anyone who refuses to submit ...

Proverbs 11:14 NKJV says, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”   God created us to walk in wisdom, but part of that wisdom is learning from others. The word “counsel” means guidance, instruction, or advice. When people make decisions without counsel, they expose themselves to danger, confusion, and unnecessary mistakes. But when they humble themselves and listen to wise, godly voices, they find protection, direction, and clarity. God often uses people to bring answers, warnings, and insight. That is why the Bible teaches that there is safety when we allow others to speak into our lives. Sometimes it is very important to seek help or deeper understanding of a situation from wise and experienced people. God has placed His wisdom in different people on earth. No one has all the answers. Some people carry a grace, knowledge, and understanding that you may not have. Seeking their counsel can save you from years of pain,...

  James 1:5 NKJV says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”   God is the true source of wisdom. This verse begins by saying "if any of you lacks wisdom,"  meaning God knows there are moments when even His children do not understand what to do. Wisdom is not automatic. It must be asked for. God welcomes you to ask Him because He gives generously. He does not judge, condemn, or shame you for not knowing. He does not accuse you for lacking understanding. Instead, He gives freely, kindly, and without reproach. And the promise is sure, it will be given. God never lies. When you ask in faith, He releases divine wisdom to guide you in your decisions. When you want to make any major decision in your life pause and ask God for wisdom. Our minds are limited but God knows everything. He knows the future. He knows how things will turn out after you make that decision. What looks right to you ma...

  Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”   Trusting God is a powerful foundation for decision-making. It shows that the safest, surest, and most successful way to make decisions is not by depending on human wisdom, emotions, or personal logic, but by putting full trust in God. Trusting God with all your heart means surrendering your ideas, fears, and personal desires to Him. It means believing that His wisdom is higher than yours and that His plan for your life is always good. When you choose not to lean on your own understanding, you are choosing to depend on God’s unlimited knowledge instead of your limited human reasoning. When it says; “Acknowledge Him in all your ways”  means you involve God in everything, your plans, your choices, your desires, your relationships, and your future. And when you do that, the promise is sure: He shall di...

  Proverbs 14:12  NKJV says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”   This scripture shows the danger of trusting human judgment without God’s guidance. A decision can look good, feel right, sound wise, and even attract the approval of many people, yet still lead to destruction. Human understanding is limited. We see only what is in front of us, but God sees the beginning, the middle, and the end. Many people choose paths based on excitement, emotions, and personal desires, but those choices often hide consequences that only appear later. When the Bible says “its end is the way of death,”  it means that decisions made without God can destroy peace, destiny, relationships, and purpose. God warns us so that we do not walk into traps that look harmless. Not everything that looks good is truly good. Your feelings can mislead you because feelings change. Your opinions can mislead you because they are shaped by limited experience. Othe...

  Deuteronomy 30:19  NKJV says, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.”   This is one of the clearest revelations of God’s heart for humanity. God does not hide the truth or confuse His people. He lays the options openly: life or death, blessing or cursing. Then He shows the best and most beautiful choice — choose life. This shows God’s desire for us to live in His goodness, His peace, and His blessing. It also reveals a great spiritual truth: your life is shaped by the choices you make. When God created man, He gave him free will which is the ability to choose. God never created a robot or a machine. He created a person with a mind, a heart, and the freedom to decide what kind of life he wants to live. This means every step you take, every decision you make, and every path you walk is shaped by your personal choices. You must understand that your life today is the result of yesterda...
