Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SATURDAY APRIL 25, 2026. "WAITING FOR THINGS TO CHANGE (2)" '....I will wait, 'till my change comes.’  Job 14:14 NKJV BEFORE YOU quit and give up in discouragement, consider the long and difficult process by which a butterfly emerges from its cocoon. If you try to rush God’s purpose and process in your life, you’ll produce something deformed, something that can’t get off the ground and fly. Perhaps you’re thinking, ‘I can’t wait for this to be over.’ That’s understandable. Job couldn’t either. He said, ‘All the days of my hard service I will wait, ‘til my change comes.’ But by God’s grace he survived, and ended up with twice as much as he lost. So hold on, your change is coming! God won’t give up on you, so don’t give up on Him! There’s a work going on in you right now. Something is dying that has to die, so that something better can be brought to life. Let it happen. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego told a king, ‘We will not bow down to your gods’ (Daniel 3:18). Don’t bow to temptation, or to manipulation, or to ungodly persuasion. Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses, or surrender to selfish ambition and self-promotion. Don’t bow to the spirit of anxiousness and impatience. Continue to walk by faith and not by sight, knowing that ‘…[God] is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we are able to ask or think…’ (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). They say, ‘Good things come to those who wait.’ The determining factor is Who you are waiting for. God says there’s a purpose for all these things (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Wait, God will make the pieces fit together. He won’t disappoint you. Bible In A Year: Num 4:34 – 6:27, Ps 94:1-11, Pro 10:24-26.

WHAT IS OUR SACRIFICE COMPARED TO THEIRS? "You are bringing unclean food to My altar." - Malachi 1:7 On October 16, 1555, two pillars of the Church of Christ, Dr. Nicolas Ridley and Mr. Hugh Latimer, were burned in Oxford, England, because of their faith. They only had one goal in their lives: to obey God more than people and to put God's Word above the teaching of a church. They gave the greatest sacrifice a person could ever give for the Kingdom of God: their life! They gave everything Over the centuries - even today - many people have given their lives for the cause of Jesus Christ. They were killed in the most horrible ways. These are courageous people who were completely surrendered to God. When those two men was burning at the stake, one man said to the other: 'Mr. Ridley, do not be afraid, on this day we will light a fire in England which I believe will never be extinguished again.' What confidence and great testimony! What courage! What faith! They have given everything and there was a deep peace in their hearts that only Jesus could give. Many people are willing to deny themselves to start something new. Many have the courage to do something, while it is beyond their means. But where are the people who want to deny themselves for Jesus, who dare to do something for Him, who are not afraid and have courage? We often ask for a financial offer for missionary work. People are shocked because they think they will not have enough for themselves if they give. Some people align the Lord God with a street musician: when you give him something, you will not even notice this in your wallet. What a wrong thought. What a wrong attitude. We have no time to lose. The saving gospel of Jesus Christ is to be preached everywhere. Man must know that salvation is only in His name. Be a faith partner and support missionary work with your gifts and prayers. And above all: love Jesus! https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Morning Prayer for today. i. Morning Prayer He hath showed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? ⏤ Micah 6:8 The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears. ⏤ Corrie Ten Boom O God, just as Enoch walked with You, we desire to walk with You today. The world is full of dangers, and we can't navigate it safely without Your protection. The paths are tangled, and we could never find our way alone. We need Your companionship to make this day a blessing. So we ask that we may walk with You. We will try to be faithful—not running ahead of You or falling behind—but staying with You all day. May You walk with us and help us to walk with You. We thank You for the rest of the past night. You have kept us safe. We lay down and slept, and You sustained us. You are our protector. All our blessings come from You. Give us grateful hearts as we begin this new day. We want to please You in all things, not straying from Your commandments. Help us, for while our spirit is willing, our flesh is weak, and we can't be faithful without Your strength. Bless everyone in our home this morning, and give each of us a personal blessing. As we go out to our different duties, it may be that we shall never all meet together again; may we, therefore, part in love so that if we never come together again in this world, there will be no regrets in our hearts because of unkindness at parting. Bless our morning meal and give us wisdom for all the duties, tasks, responsibilities, and challenges of the day. May our influence be for good, leaving a blessing on everyone we encounter. Make us strong for our work. Protect us from the dangers of the day, and keep us near Your heart, giving us the grace, mercy, and peace we need. For Jesus' sake. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/20/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
