Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotional for today. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀 MORNING TEA. THE WORD FOR TODAY THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2026. "LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICES (1)" ‘Daniel resolved not to.’ Daniel 1:8 NIV WHEN DANIEL was taken prisoner to Babylon, he was quickly promoted to leadership in the king’s palace. But as a Jew he refused to ‘defile himself with the royal food and wine’. Could his choice have affected his career, or even cost him his life? Absolutely! But what we choose to do under pressure results from one of two things: 1) Clearly established convictions we live by. 2) Fuzzy convictions we’re willing to compromise for personal gain. Hard times don’t make you, they reveal you! In ‘Leadership Gold’ John Maxwell writes: ‘After visiting twenty cities in seven days, it was good to be coming home! As the small private jet approached the runway, we were celebrating the success of the week. Then, in a moment, everything changed. The plane was hit by crosswinds and dropped straight down to the runway, the wheels hitting out of balance. All conversation stopped and our eyes widened as we realised we were in danger. The pilot, without hesitation, pushed the throttle and launched the ‘plane back into the air…We all realised that could have been it! We sat quietly as the ‘plane circled the airfield and a few minutes later we landed safely.’ As he got off the plane, John asked the captain, ‘When did you make the decision to put the ‘plane back into the air?’ He replied, ‘Fifteen years ago.’ He went on to explain how as a young pilot in training, he decided in advance what decision he would make for every possible air problem. His decision was made long before the crisis. So have a game plan in place before the problem arises. Bible In A Year: Rom 3:21 – 6:23, Luke 5:1-11, Ps 91, Pro 3:3-4.

Morning Prayer for today. Morning Prayer A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God. ⏤ Psalm 90:1-2 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. ⏤ Martin Luther Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations. From everlasting to everlasting, You are God. We want to make You the home of our hearts. We aren’t truly at home in this world because it isn’t secure. Everything here passes away. The mountains may crumble, and the hills may disappear. Our souls are immortal and can’t find a lasting home on this earth—no place where they will be sure of undisturbed rest forever. Only You are enduring and eternal, and only in You can our souls find a home, a refuge of love that will last forever. Help us to make our home in You. We thank You for our earthly home. We thank You for the love that binds us together, for the refuge we find here from the world’s hostilities. Here we can trust each other and be sure of each other’s love. Deepen our home affections. Draw us closer together as a family. Make our home life sweeter. Help us to be more supportive of each other. Teach us patience as we live together. Help us see the best in each other and give the best of our love to one another. May our home life today be tender and affectionate. Fill us with Your divine love so that our hearts and lips will overflow and that everything lovely will grow within us. You know our special needs, and we ask for personal blessings. Forgive us all our sins. Comfort us in our sorrows. Give us a blessing now as we go out into the world. May we live in such a way that we are constantly receiving from Jesus and then giving out the good things of divine love. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/18/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
