Get to know Yourself better (questionnaire)
Understanding ourselves is what I believe is the first step in any kind of growth or change that we need or want to make. Gaining that understanding can often be a challenge as we tend to place blame, fault, excuses, or reasoning behind our actions or ways. In order for us to understand ourselves and to face the truth of ourselves we have to be willing to be completely honest with ourselves. It takes facing and taking 100% responsibility for our faults and wrong doings, and paying attention […]https://theabundantlife4u.com/2026/05/08/get-to-know-yourself-better-questionnaire/

Hamilton—Scottish Presbyterian, expounding Luke 16—reframes Lazarus at the gate. Not a nuisance. Not an accident. A package from God: an opportunity for beneficence, delivered to the door. The rich man didn’t open it. Moses and the Prophets said the same thing in writing; he treated them as parchment. Not one selfish indulgence surrendered.
Today we have developed more efficient systems for ensuring such packages are intercepted before delivery.

Faith Over Fear: Daily Steps to Trust God in Tough Times
744 words, 4 minutes read time.
The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1, NIV)
Introduction
When tough times come, it’s easy to get caught up in fear and uncertainty. But as Christians, we have a greater option available to us: trusting God in the midst of chaos.
In Psalm 27, David expresses his trust in God as his light, salvation, and stronghold. He asks who he should fear with such confidence in our Lord. As believers, we can do the same.
Insights into Fear
Fear is a natural human response to uncertainty and danger. However, when we let fear take hold, it can lead us down a path of doubt and despair. In 1 John 4:18, we’re reminded that God does not give us evil things to suffer, but rather gives us strength and hope in the midst of trial.
When we focus on our fears rather than our faith, we open ourselves up to feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. But when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we discover a different narrative – one of courage, resilience, and victory over fear.
Practical Applications
So how can we cultivate trust in God when the world around us seems dark and uncertain? Here are a few practical steps to consider:
1. Practice Spiritual Discernment
As believers, we have access to spiritual discernment through the Holy Spirit. When faced with fear or uncertainty, take time to pray and seek God’s guidance. Ask Him to reveal His truth in your situation, and trust that He is working everything out for your good (Romans 8:28).
2. Focus on God’s Presence
When we focus on our fears rather than our faith, we can lose sight of God’s presence in our lives. Take time to reflect on the promises of Scripture and remember that you are never alone. God is with you, even when it feels like He’s not (Deuteronomy 31:6).
3. Surround Yourself with Believers
When we surround ourselves with people who share our faith, we’re reminded that we’re not alone in this journey. Seek out community and connection with fellow believers – it can be a powerful antidote to fear and uncertainty.
Reflection / Challenge
- What are some specific fears or uncertainties you’re facing right now? Take time to pray for God’s strength and guidance in these areas.
- Reflect on times when you’ve trusted God in the midst of tough times. What did you learn from those experiences, and how can you apply those lessons today?
- Write down three things you trust God with today – no matter how small they may seem. Remember that our faith is not based on what we have or accomplish, but on who He is.
Prayer / Closing
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being my light and salvation in the darkest of times. Help me to trust You more deeply today, even when fear tries to creep in. Surround me with Your presence and remind me that I am never alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Unshakeable Foundations in a Turbulent World
706 words, 4 minutes read time.
Psalm 119:116 – Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
Introduction
In a world filled with uncertainty, it’s easy to feel like our foundations are shifting beneath us. But what if we told you that despite the chaos around us, your foundation can remain unshakeable? In this devotional, we’ll explore how Psalm 119 can be the anchor of hope in turbulent times.
The Power of Scripture
Psalm 119 is a powerful reminder of the impact of scripture on our lives. As we read through these verses, we’re struck by the depth and richness of God’s Word. It’s not just a book of rules or regulations; it’s a living, breathing source of life that can guide us through even the darkest of times.
David writes, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119:105 NIV). This verse speaks to the transformative power of scripture in our lives. When we immerse ourselves in God’s Word, it becomes a source of guidance, comfort, and strength.
Building Unshakeable Foundations
To build unshakeable foundations, we need to focus on what truly matters. We can’t control the external circumstances that surround us, but we can control how we respond to them. As believers, our foundation is built on the rock of Christ, and His Word is the anchor that holds us fast.
But it’s not just about knowing scripture; it’s about living it out in our daily lives. When we make God’s Word a priority, we begin to see the world through His eyes. We start to understand that everything we face can be transformed by His power and wisdom.
The Importance of Community
As believers, we’re not meant to go it alone. We need community – people who will encourage us, support us, and challenge us to grow in our faith. When we surround ourselves with like-minded individuals, we become a source of strength for one another.
The early church was built on the foundation of discipleship, where believers were committed to one another and to spreading the Gospel (Acts 2:42-47). As we seek to build unshakeable foundations in our own lives, let’s not forget the importance of community. Let’s reach out to those around us and support them in their walk with God.
Prayer for Unshakeable Foundations
Lord, help us to build unshakeable foundations on Your rock. Give us a deepening love for Your Word and a desire to live it out in our daily lives. Surround us with people who will encourage and support us on our journey. And as we face the challenges of this world, may You be our anchor of hope, holding fast to our hearts and guiding us through the turbulent times.
Reflection / Challenge
- What are some areas in your life where you feel like your foundation is shifting? How can you apply Psalm 119 to those situations?
- In what ways do you currently prioritize scripture in your daily life? Are there any changes you could make to deepen your relationship with God’s Word?
- Who are some people in your life who can help you build unshakeable foundations? How can you reach out to them and support one another on your journey?
Prayer / Closing
May the anchor of hope hold fast to our hearts, guiding us through the turbulent times. Amen.

Many miss this: Bible prophecy isn’t just about the end—it helps guide how we live today.
Daniel remained productive and faithful under pressure because he understood God’s timeline (Daniel 9:2).
Jesus warned in Matthew 24:42, “Therefore stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.”
Prophecy reminds us to live alert, focus on our calling, and stop wasting time.
Stay on mission. Time is short ⏳

Feeling like God isn't answering? His silence might be speaking volumes. 🙏✨ Sometimes the quiet is an invitation to deeper trust, not a sign of distance. #FaithJourney #TrustGod #ChristianLiving

Ever feel overwhelmed by what’s ahead? Bible prophecy reminds us God is not done. Every word He speaks is intentional, ordered, and productive.
Isaiah 46:10 — "I make known the end from the beginning… My purpose will stand."
2 Peter 1:19 — “We also have the prophetic message... pay attention to it.”Prophecy teaches focus 🎯
God’s plans are precise. So should ours be.Stay committed. Stay productive. He’s already seen the outcome.

We often pass by people without really noticing them. But some carry heavy burdens of sadness or loneliness 💔. The Invisible lesson plan helps youth recognize these moments.
It teaches that ignoring others is like the rich man ignoring Lazarus in the Gospel. God calls us to see people as brothers and sisters, not as outsiders 🌍.
Even small gestures can lift up someone who feels invisible 🌟.

Lewis Bayly wrote, “The Practice of Piety”, and here discusses good works, faith, and salvation.
Works do not merit heaven. Yet liberality in alms-deeds provides a “liberal reward” in the next life.
Do we make try to hard to not sound like works righteousness that we ignore scriptural commands and rewards?
How can you provide a sure foundation for obtaining a liberal reward in eternal life?
