HE WATCHES OVER YOU

 “For the Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers; but he opposes those who do evil.” — 1 Peter 3:12 (GNT) 


It is a natural human desire to feel safe, protected, and noticed. Every person, deep inside, longs for someone to look up to—someone they can trust and count on in times of fear, trouble, or uncertainty. Just like a child who walks boldly into unfamiliar places simply because they know their father is close by. That child may not understand everything happening around them, but they are confident because their father is near.

To the mind of a child, the father is powerful, wise, and always in control. The father knows how to fix things, protect the family, and speak words of comfort. That’s exactly the image God wants us to have of Him—He is our Father.

1 Peter 3:12 reminds us of this truth. The Lord watches over the righteous, and He hears their prayers. That means no situation is hidden from Him. He sees your tears, your quiet thoughts, your silent prayers, and your daily struggles. God’s watchful eyes are always on you, and His ears are always open to your cry.

God is not like a man who gets tired, distracted, or too busy. He never misses a moment. Even when you feel alone, ignored, or forgotten—He is still there. You may not feel it, but your Father is very present. Like the confident child holding the hand of their father, walk through life knowing that God is near. He sees. He hears. He knows.

Yes, sometimes the answers to our prayers don’t come when we expect. But that does not mean God has rejected us. It simply means He has a perfect time for everything. Just because the answer is delayed does not mean it is denied. Stay faithful, stay prayerful, and stay confident—He is watching over you.

Even when enemies rise up, when pain strikes, or when confusion tries to take over, remember: your Father is still with you. And in His time, He will answer you, lift you, and restore you.

Prayer: Father, thank You for always watching over me. Help me trust You more each day. I know You hear me. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
