Every day is a gift from God, and each minute is an opportunity to serve Jesus, grow in obedience, and live with greater purpose. We’ll talk about how easy it is to waste time, how important it is to give Jesus our best, and how even ordinary moments can be used for His glory. If you have ever struggled with distractions, busyness, or feeling like your days are slipping away, this video is for you. Key question:
Are you using your 1,440 minutes each day in a way that honors Christ? If this video encourages you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs this reminder. Leave a comment below:

This post highlights Ananias as the ordinary disciple whose courageous obedience helped change the course of Saul’s life—and church history. ([A Guy And His Bible][1]) 🔥 **What if the assignment you are afraid to accept is the very assignment God will use to change someone’s life?** When we read Acts 9, our attention usually goes straight to Saul’s dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. But behind Saul’s transformation stands an often-overlooked disciple named **Ananias**. Ananias wasn’t a famous apostle, influential leader, or powerful preacher. He was an ordinary believer who was listening when God called his name. And the assignment God gave him was terrifying: Go find Saul—the man who had been persecuting Christians—and minister to him. Ananias had questions. He knew Saul’s reputation. He understood the danger. But eventually, his faith became greater than his fear. He went. He placed his hands on the man who had once been his enemy and welcomed him with two powerful words: **“Brother Saul.”** That moment reminds us that radical obedience does not always happen on a stage. Sometimes it looks like walking down an unfamiliar street, entering an uncomfortable room, forgiving an enemy, encouraging a struggling person, or reaching out when everything inside us wants to stay away. Ananias could not see everything God was preparing to do through Saul—but he obeyed the part God placed in front of him. You may never know how far one simple act of obedience will reach. Who might be waiting on the other side of your “yes”? 📖 Read the full article: [https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/07/13/the-unsung-catalyst-ananias-radical-obedience-acts-9/](https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/07/13/the-unsung-catalyst-ananias-radical-obedience-acts-9/) #AGuyAndHisBible #Ananias #Acts9 #RadicalObedience #FaithOverFear #ChristianLiving #BibleStudy #GodUsesOrdinaryPeople #TrustGod #WalkByFaith #GraceChangesEverything #AllThingsForHim [1]: https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/07/13/the-unsung-catalyst-ananias-radical-obedience-acts-9/ "The Unsung Catalyst: What a Reluctant Disciple Named Ananias Teaches Us About Radical Obedience – A Guy And His Bible"

Can a person be saved without truly living as a disciple of Jesus Christ? https://youtu.be/vNYr9CKgUyY Salvation and discipleship are closely connected, but they are not exactly the same. Salvation is God’s gift of eternal life, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Discipleship is the daily commitment to follow Jesus, obey His Word, surrender every area of our lives to Him, and become more like Him. In this video, we examine four important differences between salvation and discipleship: • Salvation is a gift; discipleship is a commitment.
• Salvation happens at conversion; discipleship happens daily.
• Salvation rests on what Christ has done; discipleship responds to what Christ says.
• Salvation changes our spiritual status; discipleship transforms our character. We are not saved because we follow Jesus perfectly. We are saved because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. However, those who have received His saving grace are called into a lifetime of following Him. Discipleship is not perfection—it is direction. It is a life that continually turns toward Jesus, even after failure. As you watch, consider these questions: - Have I genuinely placed my faith in Jesus Christ? - Am I following Jesus only when it is convenient? - What area of my life have I not fully surrendered to Him? - Is my character becoming more like Christ? - What act of obedience is Jesus calling me to take today?

One of the greatest lessons we can learn in the Christian life is that contentment is not found in having more — it is found in knowing Christ. In Philippians 4:10–20, Paul reminds us that contentment is learned, generosity is worship, and God faithfully provides for His people. Our circumstances may change, but Christ never does. May we learn to be satisfied in Him, give with hearts of worship, and trust that our God will supply every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Read the full reflection here:

Have you ever asked God to use your life while still holding on to something He has already asked you to surrender? In Judges 6:19–27, before Gideon ever faced Midian, God first called him to tear down the altar of Baal in his own household. Victory did not begin on the battlefield. It began with surrender. This passage reminds us that God often tears down idols before He builds leaders. He gives peace before victory, courage through obedience, and freedom through repentance. Yahweh-Shalom — the LORD is Peace.

“I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it.” — Ecclesiastes 3:14 What a powerful reminder of the unshakable work of God. So much in this world feels temporary. Plans change. Seasons shift. People disappoint. Circumstances rise and fall. What seems secure today can feel uncertain tomorrow. But the Word of God reminds us that what God does is not fragile, temporary, or incomplete. Everything God does will endure forever. His purposes are eternal. His promises are trustworthy. His timing is perfect. His wisdom is beyond ours. His work cannot be improved upon, undone, or overruled. There is comfort in knowing that God is not making things up as He goes. He is not surprised by what we face. He is not limited by what we lack. He does not need our strength to accomplish His will, and He does not need our understanding in order to remain faithful. Nothing can be added to what God has established. Nothing can be taken from what God has ordained. That means we can rest. We can stop trying to control what belongs in His hands. We can stop fearing that His plan will fail. We can stop believing that our circumstances are stronger than His sovereignty. The God who began the work is faithful to complete it. Even when we cannot see the full picture, God is still working. Even when we do not understand the timing, God is still wise. Even when life feels uncertain, God is still steady. Even when everything around us changes, God remains the same. Today, let Ecclesiastes 3:14 remind your heart that God’s work is lasting, complete, and secure. What He does endures. What He speaks stands. What He promises, He will fulfill. Lord, help us trust what You are doing — even when we cannot see it clearly. Teach us to rest in Your sovereignty, surrender our need for control, and believe that Your purposes will stand forever. “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” — Proverbs 19:21 — A Guy And His Bible 🌐 Stay Connected – A Guy And His Bible Website: https://www.patrickryanlewis.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AGuyAndHisBible LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aguyandhisbible X (Twitter): https://x.com/aguyandhisbible TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aguyandhisbible Email: allthingsforHim.pl@gmail.com Text: (681) 534-3585 Support the ministry: Venmo / CashApp: @PatrickRyanLewis PayPal: https://bit.ly/3TMgPRa Stripe: https://bit.ly/3TL5j8F Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/aguyandhisbible Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AAQACSNG7QKZ?ref_=wl_share #AGuyAndHisBible #Ecclesiastes314 #GodIsFaithful #TrustGod #ChristianEncouragement #BibleTruth #SovereigntyOfGod #FaithOverFear #GodsPlan #HopeInChrist

“When you fear God, you fear nothing.” What a simple but powerful truth. The fear of the Lord is not about living terrified of God — it is about living in reverence, awe, surrender, and trust before Him. When God is in His rightful place in our hearts, everything else is put in its proper place. Fear loses its power when God becomes bigger than our circumstances. We may still face uncertainty. We may still walk through difficult seasons. We may still have questions, battles, burdens, and moments that stretch our faith. But when we truly fear the Lord, we remember that no earthly fear is greater than His authority, His presence, His wisdom, or His power. The fear of man cannot rule a heart that belongs to God. The fear of tomorrow cannot control a heart anchored in God’s promises. The fear of failure cannot define a life surrendered to God’s purpose. The fear of the unknown cannot overcome the One who already knows the end from the beginning. To fear God is to trust that He is holy, faithful, sovereign, loving, and good. It is to live with the confidence that if He is for us, no fear has the final word over us. So today, let this be a reminder: Fear God — and let every lesser fear bow. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” — Proverbs 9:10 🙏 Lord, teach us to walk in reverence, faith, and holy confidence. Help us fear You rightly, trust You fully, and refuse to be ruled by fear. — A Guy And His Bible 🌐 Stay Connected – A Guy And His Bible Website: https://www.patrickryanlewis.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AGuyAndHisBible LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aguyandhisbible X (Twitter): https://x.com/aguyandhisbible TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aguyandhisbible Email: allthingsforHim.pl@gmail.com Text: (681) 534-3585 Support the ministry: Venmo / CashApp: @PatrickRyanLewis PayPal: https://bit.ly/3TMgPRa Stripe: https://bit.ly/3TL5j8F Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/aguyandhisbible Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AAQACSNG7QKZ?ref_=wl_share #AGuyAndHisBible #FearGod #FaithOverFear #ChristianEncouragement #TrustGod #FearOfTheLord #BibleTruth #WalkByFaith #GodIsFaithful #HopeInChrist

“Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the Book widens and deepens with our years.” — Charles Spurgeon What a beautiful reminder that the Word of God is not something we graduate from — it is something we grow into. There are passages we read as children that comfort us in simple ways, and then years later those same verses meet us again with deeper meaning. The same Scripture that strengthens us in one season can correct us, guide us, encourage us, and steady us in another. God’s Word does not become smaller as we grow older. It becomes richer. The more life we live, the more we discover how deeply we need the truth of Scripture. In times of joy, it teaches us gratitude. In times of confusion, it gives wisdom. In times of grief, it brings comfort. In times of temptation, it gives strength. In times of waiting, it reminds us that God is faithful. We never become too mature for the Bible. We never become too experienced for its correction. We never become too strong for its encouragement. We never become too wise for its instruction. Scripture is living and powerful. It meets the child, the young believer, the weary parent, the aging saint, the one who is seeking, the one who is struggling, and the one who needs to be reminded again that God is still near. The Word of God is like a deep well — the longer we walk with the Lord, the more we realize we have only begun to draw from its depths. So today, open the Book again. Read it slowly.
 Receive it humbly.
 Trust it fully.
 Let it shape your heart.
Let it renew your mind.
Let it remind you who God is. No matter your age, your season, your past, or your circumstances, there is still more of God’s truth to discover. “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” — Isaiah 40:8 🙏 Lord, give us a deeper hunger for Your Word. Help us not only to read Scripture, but to be changed by it. 🌐 Stay Connected – A Guy And His Bible Website: https://www.patrickryanlewis.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AGuyAndHisBible LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aguyandhisbible X (Twitter): https://x.com/aguyandhisbible TiTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aguyandhisbible allthingsforHim.pl@gmail.com Text: (681) 534-3585 Venmo / CashApp @PatrickRyanLewis Paypal: https://bit.ly/3TMgPRa Stripe: https://bit.ly/3TL5j8F Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/aguyandhisbible Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AAQACSNG7QKZ?ref_=wl_share #CharlesSpurgeon #Scripture #WordOfGod #ChristianEncouragement #BibleTruth #Faith #GrowInGrace #TrustGod #HopeInChrist #DailyWord

True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is something much deeper. Prayer is not about finding impressive words. It is not about sounding spiritual, checking a box, or going through a routine. True prayer is the heart of a person humbling itself before the living God. It is honest communion with the Creator. When we pray, we are not speaking into emptiness. We are drawing near to the One who made heaven and earth, the One who knows every thought before we speak it, the One who sees every burden we carry, and the One who invites us to come boldly before His throne of grace. True prayer is where surrender happens.
True prayer is where burdens are laid down.
True prayer is where pride is broken.
True prayer is where faith is strengthened.
True prayer is where our hearts are brought back into alignment with God’s will. God is not looking for polished speeches. He is looking for sincere hearts. Some of the most powerful prayers are whispered through tears. Some are spoken in silence when words will not come. Some are as simple as, “Lord, help me.” And still, He hears. Prayer reminds us that we are not in control, but we are held by the One who is. It teaches us to depend on God, to trust His timing, to seek His wisdom, and to rest in His presence. So today, do not wait until you have the right words. Do not wait until everything feels perfect. Come to Him as you are. Pray in the morning.
Pray in the struggle.
Pray before the decision.
Pray when you are thankful.
Pray when you are weak.
Pray when you do not know what else to do. Because true prayer is not performance. It is relationship.
It is dependence.
It is worship.
It is faith reaching toward God. “Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17 🙏 Lord, teach us to pray with humble hearts, honest faith, and full dependence on You. 🌐 Stay Connected – A Guy And His Bible Website: https://www.patrickryanlewis.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AGuyAndHisBible LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aguyandhisbible X (Twitter): https://x.com/aguyandhisbible TiTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aguyandhisbible allthingsforHim.pl@gmail.com Text: (681) 534-3585 Venmo / CashApp @PatrickRyanLewis Paypal: https://bit.ly/3TMgPRa Stripe: https://bit.ly/3TL5j8F Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/aguyandhisbible Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AAQACSNG7QKZ?ref_=wl_share #TruePrayer #Prayer #ChristianEncouragement #Faith #CharlesSpurgeon #PrayWithoutCeasing #GodIsListening #PowerOfPrayer #TrustGod #WalkWithGod

“The glory of God’s faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.” — Charles Spurgeon What a powerful reminder of the unchanging character of God. There are times when we look at our own lives and see failure, weakness, inconsistency, and sin. We remember the moments we fell short, the promises we did not keep, the prayers we neglected, the attitudes we allowed, and the ways we wandered from what we knew was right. But here is the good news: our unfaithfulness does not change God’s faithfulness. God is not faithful because we are perfect.
God is faithful because He is God. His love is not fragile. His mercy is not easily exhausted. His grace is not dependent on our ability to get everything right. When we stumble, He remains steady. When we fail, He remains true. When we are weak, He remains strong. When we confess, He is faithful and just to forgive. That does not make sin small. It makes grace glorious. The faithfulness of God should never lead us to take Him lightly. It should lead us to worship Him deeply, repent honestly, and return to Him quickly. The God who remains faithful is the same God who calls us out of darkness and into His light. Today, let this truth encourage your heart: your failure is not stronger than His faithfulness. Your past is not greater than His mercy. Your sin is not beyond His redeeming power. His covenant love is steady, sure, and unshakable. The clouds may shift. Our emotions may change. Our strength may rise and fall. But the faithfulness of God remains. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” — 2 Timothy 2:13 🙏 Lord, thank You for being faithful even when we fall short. Help us not to abuse Your grace, but to be transformed by it. Draw us closer to You today. 🌐 Stay Connected – A Guy And His Bible Website: https://www.patrickryanlewis.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AGuyAndHisBible LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aguyandhisbible X (Twitter): https://x.com/aguyandhisbible TiTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aguyandhisbible allthingsforHim.pl@gmail.com Text: (681) 534-3585 Venmo / CashApp @PatrickRyanLewis Paypal: https://bit.ly/3TMgPRa Stripe: https://bit.ly/3TL5j8F Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/aguyandhisbible Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AAQACSNG7QKZ?ref_=wl_share #CharlesSpurgeon #GodIsFaithful #ChristianEncouragement #GraceOfGod #Faithfulness #HopeInChrist #Mercy #TrustGod #FaithOverFear #DailyGrace
