Commentary Devotional Thoughts
Be Honest...
A lot of times, we often ignore the importance of being honest, especially to God. We often say,
"We are okay," but actually we are not. When we try to be vulnerable to God, He can come in and His grace & peace will overflow in your life.
God’s grace is new each day, and God's hands are always open for you.
Maybe you are in a position where you start questioning yourself: “Am I good enough? Have I done enough? What if I’m not good?” None of those questions matters because God has created you as His masterpiece.
It is frustrating to keep up with the world these days. At one point, we will somehow hit a dead-end.
God wants you to know: "He can’t bless you if you pretend to be someone else. He can bless you for who you really are."
God knows your insecurity.
God knows your limitations.
God knows your honesty.
God knows your addiction.
God knows your anger issues.
Whatever it is, God loves you for who you really are, and He is fine with all that.
God knows you since the beginning:
Jeremiah 1:5 | “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” God’s been there the whole time with you!
Prayer:
Father, we thank you for your overflowing grace and peace in our lives. We know that we are nothing without you. Soften our hearts so that we
can be more vulnerable to you. Sharpen our
hearing towards your voice; and, Holy Spirit, please guide us. In Jesus name, Amen.1 -

Matthew 8:1-4
2 Corinthians 12:9
Commentary Devotional Thoughts
Why are you so troubled, then...?
"Am I clean? Am I worthy to receive His grace & peace? It's all messed up; where are you, God"? --Are you familiar with these questions?
In Matthew 8:1-4, Jesus heals the leper.
Back then, a man with leprosy was unclean and excluded from the community. They were unworthy.
No one knows how long the man had had leprosy. It must have been difficult for him to be unseen, excluded, unclean, unworthy.
Maybe you are in a position like that man with leprosy right now. You may have been away from God, and you feel unworthy or even unclean.
Maybe you are in a situation that is too complicated for you to solve, and you isolate yourself.
But when Jesus touches the leper, the unclean becomes clean! God can touch your situation!
God can free your heart! It is clean now!
No matter how complicated it is or how insecure you are, God can make all things new!
When God steps in, everything changes! His grace is sufficient for you, and His peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart.
Prayer:
Father, in the midst of self-doubt, anxiety, worry, and argument, we still praise you. We believe that your grace is sufficient for us, and your peace that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts. We surrender every brokenness in your hands and know that you are able to restore and cleanse everything according to Your will and
plans. In Jesus name, Amen.1 -

Matthew 7:24-27
2 Corinthians 9:8
Isaiah 43:2
Commentary Thoughts
You Got This!
Our three-year-old son loves swimming. He goes swimming almost every day. With his floaties on, he enjoys swimming at the adult pool area. 😂
One time, our son asked me, “Want to swim with dada.” And I said to him, “not today, I’m tired. I’m just gonna sit here and watch you swim, okay?” Our son was kinda sad, but he still swam anyway.
Right at that moment, somehow God gave me a nudge, and it went like this: “Even though you can swim by yourself, I’ll go swimming too, even in deep water, I’ll go with you.” Just like in Isaiah 43:2.
A lot of times when difficult seasons come, we often forget our foundation, and we somehow lose our peace. Eventually, we find it difficult to see or feel grace in our perspectives.
Matthew 7:24-25 says: "Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock."
Maybe you are in a struggle right now. I don’t know where you are at right now or the season that you are in right now, but you are not alone!
God goes with you in deep water!
God is in your business!
God is in your job!
God is in your family!
God is in your house!
Prayer:
Father, we thank you for all that you have done in our lives. Through today, through the pandemic, your promises are still yes and amen; your grace and peace stay with us. Holy Spirit, help us to always remember in whatever seasons that we are in right now that Jesus is our firm foundation. In Jesus name, Amen.1 -
