Good morning, Brethren. 1. Morning devotional. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹MORNING TEA. THE WORD FOR TODAY FRIDAY JANUARY 9, 2026. "TAP INTO GOD’S CREATIVITY" ‘He…reveals His thoughts to man.’ Amos 4:13 NIV A WELL-KNOWN minister writes: ‘A while back I bought an interesting torch. Before I decided to buy it I asked the saleslady how long the battery would last. ‘‘As long as you do,’’ she replied. ‘‘What do you mean?’’ I queried. ‘‘You are the battery,’’ she explained. ‘‘There’s no battery inside. You have to pump the handle at the bottom of the flashlight to make it light up.’’ I tried it, and sure enough I generated the power needed to make it light up! As soon as I stopped pumping the light went out…If you make the right commitment to an idea but it seems impossible…pray…and keep pumping. Bright ideas will come your way—ideas that come from God’ (Isaiah 48:17). Albert Einstein said it’s important that we never stop asking questions, or lose our holy curiosity. God’s Word says He ‘forms the mountains…creates the wind, and reveals His thoughts to man.’ Imagine tapping into the resources of a God Who knows you and can fill your mind with imaginative, inspired, innovative ‘thoughts’. Jesus knows the mind of God, the plans of God, the will of God and the purposes of God because He is God. And Paul says, ‘We understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ’ (1 Corinthians 2:16 NLT). As Ted Engstrom observes, ‘Creativity has been built into every one of us. Each of us lives less of the life God intended when we choose not to release the creative powers we possess.’ When you tap into God’s creativity, He helps you see things not as they are, but as they can be. And that can change your life! Bible In A Year: Isa 26-29, Luke 2:1-7, Ps 46, Pro 1:32-33 .

Morning Prayer Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. ⏤ Psalm 143:8 Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. ⏤ E.M. Bounds Almighty God, our Father, another day has begun, and we want to start it with You. If we spend a little time talking with You, we’ll be ready to face whatever comes our way. If we can look into Your face and feel Your presence with us, we won’t be afraid to face any danger. We thank You for the rest we had last night. Many people didn’t make it through the night—but here we are, alive and well. Now, we give ourselves to You for this new day. We want to make it a holy day, and we ask for the grace to do so. May Your word guide our steps and light our path. Let its teachings stay in our hearts, and give us the grace to follow them. Lead us according to Your word. Don’t let sin control us. Don’t take Your Holy Spirit away from us. Restore the joy of Your salvation to us. Our trust is in Jesus Christ alone. We’re not worthy on our own, because we’ve sinned and our hearts are flawed. But Jesus died for us, and in His name, we come to You, asking for Your favor and blessing. We thank You for Your love, from which nothing—neither death nor life—can separate us. May we remain in Your love, and may Your peace always be with us. We ask for a blessing on everyone we interact with today. Help them become Your friends. Draw them closer to You. Help us to live in a way that makes them think of You and the realities of Heaven. May we speak Your words to those who are hurting or lost, and may Your grace and peace flow through us to others. We place our hands in Yours as we go out today. Lead us, bless us, keep us, and use us! We ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/05/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
