A Statement of Fact


"And the king took an oath and said, 

“As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress . . ."


1 Kings 1:29



Today's Bible Reading: 1 Kings 1:28-31.


In the Bible, there are many stories that teach us valuable lessons about obedience, faithfulness, and the sovereignty of God. One such account is found in 1 Kings 1:28-31.

In verse 29, King David utters a profound declaration of his trust in God's faithfulness.


First: David Acknowledges God's Faithfulness: King David, a man after God's own heart, recognizes the unwavering faithfulness of the Lord. He testifies that it is the living God who has redeemed him from various distressing situations throughout his life. David's words remind us that our God is a faithful loving God of deliverance.


Second: David's Personal redemption: David acknowledges that God has personally redeemed his life. Throughout David's journey, God rescued David from the clutches of his enemies, protected him in battles, and delivered him from adversity. This proclamation shows David's deep gratitude for the consistent faithfulness of the Lord.


Third: David's broader application: While David speaks from his personal experience, his declaration extends beyond himself. It reassures us who God has called, and reminds us that God is the redeemer of our lives too. In times of distress, we can trust that God is with us, ready to deliver and bring us through every challenging circumstance.


Prayer: Almighty, Eternal God, help me to make You the centre, foundation and hope of my life. In Jesus name. Amen.

Ascenion Day


“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?. . ."


Acts 1:11


Today's Bible Reading: Acts 1 :1-11.


The Ascension of Christ is not an ending—it is a coronation. The Lord Jesus, having finished the work of redemption, was received into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. He reigns now, not as a distant figure, but as a living Saviour and sovereign King.


The disciples stood gazing—but the angels rebuked their delay. Christ’s ascension calls not for idle wonder, but for urgent witness. The One who ascended will return. History is not drifting; it is moving toward a day when every eye shall see Him.


What does this mean for us?

First, Christ reigns—so trust Him. All authority is His.

Second, Christ intercedes—so come boldly to Him.

Third, Christ is returning—so be ready.


The Bible declares that "none are righteous" (Romans 3:10), and "all have sinned"(Ecclesiastes 7:20). Apart from Christ, sinners will face the justice of God for sin. But this ascended King is also the crucified Saviour, who bore wrath in the place of sinners. Salvation is found in Him alone.


Do not stand gazing. Repent, believe, and go. The risen, ascended, and returning Christ must be proclaimed—before He comes again.


Prayer: Gracious God, I thank You that the Lord Jesus Christ has ascended in glory and now reigns at Your right hand. Help me not to stand idle, but to trust Him, obey Him, and proclaim Him. In His name. I ask. Amen.

The Restoring God


Thus says the Lord God to these bones:

“Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live."


Ezekiel 37:5



Today's Bible Reading: Ezekiel 37:4–14.


When the Babylonians conquered Israel, the people felt hopeless—surrounded by death and destruction and in need of restoration (see Lamentations 1). During this period of turmoil, God took the prophet Ezekiel to a valley and gave him a vision where he was surrounded by dry bones. “Can these bones live?” God asked. Ezekiel responded, “Lord, you alone know” (Ezekiel 37:3). God then told him to prophesy over the bones so they might live again. “As I was prophesying,” Ezekiel recounted, “there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling sound, and the bones came together” (v 7). Through this vision, God revealed to Ezekiel that Israel’s restoration could only come through Him.


When we feel as if things in life have been broken and are beyond repair, God assures us He can rebuild our shattered pieces. He’ll give us new breath and new life. 


Prayer: Dear God, parts of my life sometimes seem like they are broken and will never be restored. But You are indeed the God of restoration. Therefore, I praise You in my Saviour's name. Amen.
