Let us not grow tired of doing good, for at the right time we will harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to everyone. Galatians 6:9 It can be discouraging to keep doing right and get no thanks or visible results. But Paul challenged the Galatians, and he challenges us to continue doing good and trust God for the outcomes; we will reap a harvest of blessings.   Y ou cannot go back and change the beginning, but you can start from wh

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when you can help. Do not tell your neighbour, “Come back; I’ll give it tomorrow,” when you already possess it. Proverbs 3:27-28 Delaying to do good is inconsiderate and unfair, whether it is repaying a loan, returning a tool, or fulfilling a promise. Withholding damages trust and causes inconvenience. Be as eager to do good as you are to have good done to you. “And when the Lord Jesus has become your peace, remember, there is an

You will keep in perfect peace the one whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 Conflict is inevitable in our world, but with God, we can find perfect peace even amid chaos. When we dedicate ourselves to Him, our attitude remains calm and steady, anchored by His unchanging presence (see Philippians 4:7).  God’s peace differs from the peace of the world. True peace isn’t found in positive thinking, in the absence of conflict, or in good feelings. It comes

The Lord tears down the proud house, but He guards the widow's boundaries. – Proverbs 15:25 Lord, we recognize You as the comforting God. I pray You provide peace and rest to those grieving right now. Embrace us, Father. Surround us with Your love and remind us that, even if we have lost someone dear, we are not alone because You are always with us. This Christmas marks three years since my beloved husband Charles's friend and companion went home to be with the Lord. He will

Father, let your hope rise in our hearts! Lift our eyes to recognize that you alone are the source of our hope. Help us release the anxiety, discouragement, and distractions that have filled this year. Grant us the grace needed to finish this year with joy. We invite your Holy Spirit into this beautiful Advent season. Renew our sense of blessed anticipation.   The Birth of Jesus is the Greatest Light in history.

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the  Scriptures, we might have hope. Romans 15:4 (NIV) Knowledge of the Scriptures shapes our attitude toward the present and the future.  The more we know about what God has done in years past, the greater our confidence is in what He will do in the days ahead.  We should read our Bibles diligently to increase our trust that God’s will is best for us.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves. A. W. Tozer. Shirley Casseta Leger November 24, 2025

1 Cor.2:9 (NIV) However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love Him— We cannot imagine all that God has in store for us, both in this life and for eternity. He will create a new heaven and a new earth (Isaiah 65:17; Rev. 21:1), and we will live with Him forever. Until then, His Holy Spirit comforts and guides us, knowing the wonderful and eternal future that awaits u

"Put more coals and more sweet frankincense into the censor of your praise". Charles Spurgeon. Shirley Casseta Leger November 2025

Psalm 8:3 . When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place. To respect God’s majesty, we must compare ourselves to His greatness. When we observe creation, we often feel small in comparison. Feeling small is a healthy way to reconnect with reality, but God does not want us to dwell on our smallness. Humility means showing proper respect for God, not self-deprecation. When we look at the vast expanse of creation, we

R omans 10:14-15 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15. And how can they preach unless they are sent? How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! The conditions necessary to call on Christ and be saved are (1) a preacher sent from God, (2) proclamation of the message, (3) hearing the message, and (4) believing the m

Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.  Not many of you were wise  by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Cor.1:26-27   Is Christianity against rational thinking? Christians clearly do believe in using their minds to weigh the evidence and make wise choices.  Paul is declaring that no

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts . 2 Cor. 3:2-3 (NIV) As though the spirit were a substitute for ink! Ink fades and may be easily deleted or blocked out since it is no more than an inanimate fluid. But the Spirit of the Living God is Himself

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one, we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ

He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. John 11:51-52 For the scattered children of God. Jesus’ death would have effects far beyond the nation. By: Shirley Casseta Leger November 10, 2025

“We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, ‘Blessed are they that mourn,’ and I accept it. I have nothing that I hadn’t bargained for. Of course, it is different when the thing happens to oneself, not to others, and in reality, not imagination.”— C.S. Lewis.     Shirley Casseta Leger November 10, 2025

7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write : Rev. 3:7-13   These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they ar

I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move.
