January 16: Isaiah 6:8 - Tuned In To God's Frequency (Today's Reflection from My Utmost For His Highest)

Hands in air reaching towards God, depicting: tuned into God.

Daily Bible Verse: Isaiah 6:8 (NLT)

"I heard the voice of the Lord..."

The call of God is directly related to the nature of God. When you are in the right relationship with Him, you will be tuned into His nature and calling.

God's call will be woven into the patterns of your life, and only you will recognize it. So you need to be listening. If you are only concerned with yourself and the noise around you, you may never hear His call.

The call of God is not a reflection of our own nature or desires. It is a direct line from God about His nature and His desires. It may have nothing to do with your traits or qualifications, or the things you like or have studied. Do not dwell on those things when you are listening. Be tuned into El Shaddai - God Almighty.

We continue our journey of faith by focusing on El Shaddai.

December 2: 1 Peter 5:7 Do Not Worry (Bible Verse and Prayer)

Bible Verse 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you ." KJV Give all your worries and cares to God, because he cares about what happens to you . (NLT -New Living Translation) Reflection Worry has a way of creeping into our hearts, especially when life feels uncertain. Yet this verse reminds us that we are not meant to carry the weight alone. God’s care is not distant or abstract — it is personal, tender, and constant. Every detail of our lives matters to Him. When we release our burdens into His hands, we exchange anxiety for peace. It doesn’t mean the challenges disappear, but it does mean we walk through them with courage, knowing the Lord is holding us steady. Today, let us practice surrender by naming our worries and laying them before Him, trusting His love to carry what we cannot. Prayer Father, I lay my worries at Your feet. Please give me calm for my mind and courage for my work, and remind me - You hold every detail. In J...

March 12: Mark 10:28 - The Choice of Christ Alone (Today's Reflection from My Utmost For His Highest)

Bible Verse Mark 10:28 "Peter began to say to Him, 'See, we have left all and followed You' " Reflection Total surrender is never a transaction—it is a preference. Not a preference for relief, usefulness, holiness, or spiritual gain, but a quiet, unwavering choosing of Jesus Christ Himself. Peter’s words, “We have left all and followed You,” reveal how easily we imagine surrender as something we give for something in return. But Jesus redirects the entire center of gravity: “for My sake and the gospel’s.” Chambers presses into the uncomfortable truth—we often want God’s gifts more than God. We want cleansing, usefulness, spiritual brightness, or a sense of being “on display” as proof of His work in us. But genuine surrender is not motivated by any of these. It is the laying down of every subtle self-claim so that Christ becomes the only reason, the only aim, the only desire. True surrender goes beyond natural devotion. It steps past the excuses we make in the name of ...
