Food For Your Spirit

  A young man lay on his sickbed, nearing the end of his life. With what little strength he had left, he asked his father for a pen and paper. His hand trembled as he wrote—his letters unsteady, like that of a child just learning to write. Yet the message he left behind was powerful:  “JESUS IS REAL.” Moments later, he passed away with a smile on his face. His father testified that the entire room was suddenly filled with an indescribable light. This story brings to mind the three young Hebrew men in Scripture—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3:1–30). When commanded to bow before the king’s image, they refused. Their response in Daniel 3:16–18 remains a profound declaration of faith: “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if He doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you that we will never serve your gods ...

  Papaoutai (French for "Dad, where are you") is a hit song by Stromae , who grew up without his father who was killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Without a father figure to guide him, he had to assume the role of father by himself.  At some point or another, many of us have asked this question, possibly referring to our earthly father or the Father in heaven, who is God Almighty. The scripture tells us about Gideon in Judges 6:12-13 ‘The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.”. Like Gideon, we may sometimes doubt the existence of God or His mighty power, particularly if we are in a struggle to perform what we believe He is meant to do or if we call on Him and ar...

  Australia's men's 4x400m relay team believed they had earned a spot in the world championship final after setting a new national record of 2:58.00. The team's celebrations were halted soon after when they were disqualified for a wrong changeover. Aidan Murphy 's disqualification was caused by taking Reece Holder 's baton outside the changeover zone. Although Australian. The run had the potential to break a record that had been in existence since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics , which was set by Bruce Frayne , Darren Clark , Gary Minihan , and Rick Mitchell . The scriptures say in 1 Corinthians .9.24 "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. The scripture says we should 'run in such a way', which means being disciplined and keeping the rules as children of God. For example, you cannot steal to provide for your family just because the Scripture says anyone who doesn...

  Charlie Kirk, an American right-wing political activist, was shot dead during an audience interaction at UVU in Orem, Utah, United States on September 10, 2025. The outdoor event was the first stop of the season for his American Comeback Tour, a speaking and debate series planned by Turning Point USA, a conservative organization that he co-founded. Known for his faith in Christ Jesus and his unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel, he was cut short at his peak while doing what he believed in. It has been appointed for a man to die once and then receive judgment (Hebrew 9:27), which can lead to eternal punishment in hell or eternity in paradise. No one knows when or how their time of death will come, so you must remain steadfast in Jesus if you already have Him as your Lord and Saviour. Please surrender your life to Him today if you haven't already, as tomorrow may be too late. Jesus came to this world to rescue humanity from eternal condemnation (John 3:16-17), “ ...

  I found myself stuck in the chorus of Lauren Daigle's ' Trust in you ' song.   When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You. What came to my mind was the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3:16-18. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”  God's power is unmatched. He can handle all things, whether physical or spiritual. Nothing is too challenging for Him ( Jeremiah 13:27 ) and nothing is impossible with Him ( Luke 1:37 ). ...
