Good morning brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. WEDNESDAY APRIL 22, 2026. "YOU CAN OVERCOME YOUR FEARS" ‘When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.’  Psalm 56:3 NLT IS FEAR causing you to hide from somebody today? Your boss? Your husband or wife? Your strong-willed child? Your grouchy co-worker? When God asked Adam, ‘…“Where are you?”, he replied, “I hid…I was afraid”…’ (Genesis 3:9-10 NLT). And we’ve all been hiding from things ever since. We hide behind forced smiles, agreeable words we don’t mean, and social rituals we detest. Or worse, we hide behind things we do believe but don’t express because we are afraid of what people might think or say. We try to avoid the pain of confronting someone, and the emotional energy we’re afraid we’ll have to invest in cleaning up afterwards. Short-term it may be easier to act as if things don’t bother you, or pretend to agree when, in reality, you disagree. But long-term it doesn’t work, because peace isn’t the absence of discord. When we remain silent in order to avoid confrontation, we just end up avoiding something far more important: relationships. For example, when we don’t speak up on the job because we fear making waves, we end up resentful, alienated from our fellow workers, and maybe losing an opportunity to make things better. When we’re afraid to confront our marriage partner (and this should be done in love, not anger), we end up emotionally distant. When we refuse to share our faith because we’re afraid of being ridiculed, we lose the opportunity to bring hope to someone who really needs it. So rise up and say, ‘When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You’. Confront your fears, come out of hiding and start living. Bible In A Year: 21:1 – 23:25, Ps 50:1-15, Pro 10:3.

MUTINY "They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them: You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly?" - Numbers 16:3 Mutiny is when a group of people revolt against the authority of a person and try to take over. It is dangerous when a spirit of dissatisfaction arises. Everywhere there are things you might not agree with. You just need one person who proclaims himself the leader to stir up trouble. Although many lack the courage, they will easily join the person who starts to rebel. To lead mutiny, you have to be smart and determined. The evil one is the master in leading mutiny! Korah, Dathan and Abiram wanted to convince the people of Israel that Moses and Aaron wished to rule over them. However, God had appointed Moses and Aaron. When they argued with Moses and Aaron, they were arguing with God Himself. The motive for such people is always the desire to take charge. But that is not necessary at all, because 1 Corinthians 12:18 says: 'God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as He wanted them to be.' God gives everyone his place to build the church in faith. To rebel against the servant of God is to rebel against God's authority. A true servant of God always gives such people in the hands of God. Moses fell on his knees when he heard their rebellious speech. He said to them: 'In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will have that person come near Him' (Numbers 16:5). It is terrible what happened there. God dealt with the three rioters, their families and with 250 other leaders. It is foolish to exalt yourself before God, for He opposes the proud, but shows favor to the humble. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Morning Prayer for today. i. Morning Prayer Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. ⏤ Revelation 3:20 If we would understand the potential power of our homes, we would fall on our knees and ask God to make our homes sanctuaries of peace and love. ⏤ E.M. Bounds Our Father, we thank You for our home. Many people in this great world are homeless and lonely. You have given us a home with many comforts. We are grateful for it and pray that Your blessing may be upon our home life. We thank You, Jesus, that You are willing to be a guest in our home. We remember how You blessed and brought joy to the home in Bethany when You were on earth. May You make our home Your dwelling place, just as You did with Martha and Mary. May Your peace rest upon our home. Help us to make our family life sweet and beautiful, pleasing to You, and comforting to You when You come to stay with us. Let us never grieve You with selfish behavior, quarreling, or strife. Help us to offer You true hospitality, not just within our doors, but also within our hearts. We want to welcome You into every part of our lives, shutting You out of no room—letting You dwell in us fully and completely so that all our life may feel Your influence and be blessed by Your Spirit and love. We want to become like You, and we know we can only do that if You live in our hearts and pour Your grace through every part of our being. As we go out now to face the experiences of this new day, we place our hands in Yours, asking You to lead us and guide us. You have promised that as our days are, so shall our strength be. You know what this day holds for us and what strength we will need; may You provide what we need as each moment comes. We ask for these mercies and favors in Your blessed name, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/17/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
