Let
Read – Matthew 5:13-16
Scripture: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:16).”

Denial: “I release and let go of forcing, making, manipulating, and being controlling.”

Affirmation: “My life is flowing with the ease and the breeze of Spirit.”

“Let” is often seen as a passive word because it means to allow things to be or to come into existence. It is not viewed as forceful as its counterpart, “make.” As God said, “Let there be…” the universe
responded to God’s words and brought into being whatever God said. God is still speaking, and the universe is still responding to God’s words bringing into being whatever God says. “…My word
that goes forth out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will do what I sent it to do (Isaiah 55:11).”

God has given us a voice to speak words and the universe is also responding to what we speak in the atmosphere. There is power and authority in our voices. Therefore, just as we are to be good
stewards over our minds and our thoughts, it is also important that we become good stewards over our mouths and our words. “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34).”
Our minds and our mouths must work together to bring forth our harvest. Our thoughts and our words must be in harmony in order for us to bring forth fruit.

Jesus, our Wayshower, introduced the idea that not only was he the light of the world but that his disciples were also the light of the world (John 9:5). As emphasized in today’s reading, we were called
to let our light shine. Letting our lights shine means that we are not forcing our lights to shine. We are not making our lights shine by manipulating situations or controlling outcomes. Through the
empowerment of the Kingdom Principles for Divine Living, we are letting our lights shine. As we integrate our Divine Nature, we shine. When we flow with our Divine Purpose, we shine. As we align our minds with Divine Order, we shine. When we submit to the Divine Timing of God, we shine. As we yield to the Divine Placement of God, we shine. When we allow the Divine Provision to manifest, we
shine. As we surrender to the Divine Protection of God, we shine.

Reflection Question: How can you let your light shine brighter?

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God.

So God can get the...
