Eyes Upon God • 2 Chronicles 20:12

Have you ever been in a situation you had no power over and you did not know what to do? In these situations we find ourselves asking questions; Why is this happening to me? What am I going to do? 2 Chronicles 20:12 points out what we need to do in these situations. It says, “We have no power against this nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” Change your gaze from inward to upward, because God knows. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Remember that the same power that conquered the grave lives in us.

Walking In Him • Romans 8:1-4

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit (Romans 8:1). We do not have to walk with a huge burden of not being good enough. God through Jesus, His Son, satisfied the righteous requirements of the law. He has wiped our slate clean with His blood. If we walk in the Spirit, we have nothing to feel condemned about. However, if we are walking in the flesh, we will. So walk in (Christ Jesus), rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith…abounding in with thanksgiving. Colossians 2-6-7.

Merciful Restoration • Ezekiel 28:24-26

In Ezekiel 25–28, Ezekiel’s focus shifts to the sins of the nations surrounding Israel. It almost seems like an interruption in the book’s theme until you read 28:24–26, and you realize that these nations were bitter enemies of Israel. God’s word to Israel is that while they are out in captivity, God will be clearing out the land of anyone who would oppose them. They would be coming back to their own lands, safe and secure from outside threats. They would have freedom to prosper again under God. Even in judgment, God is full of merciful love.
Christopher Rodríguez, Singles’ Pastor
