🌿 First Things First

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:33

Life often pulls us in many directions—work, family, goals, and worries about the future. But Jesus gives us a simple, powerful truth: when we put God first, everything else falls into place.

Seeking His Kingdom means aligning our hearts with His will, valuing eternal things above temporary ones. Seeking His righteousness means walking daily in obedience and reflecting Christ’s character in how we live.

God knows our needs before we even ask. When we prioritize Him, He provides—not always in the way we expect, but always in the way we need.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to put You first in my decisions, desires, and daily life. Teach me to trust that when I seek You above all else, You will provide everything I need. Amen. 🙏

Prepare for the Amazing

Devotional:
In Joshua 3:5, the people of Israel stood on the brink of a miracle. The Jordan River, at flood stage, was impossible to cross—but God had promised to lead them into the Promised Land. Joshua’s instruction was simple yet profound: “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”

Consecration means setting yourself apart—cleaning out distractions, repenting from sin, and refocusing your heart on God. It’s a spiritual posture that says, “Lord, I’m ready for whatever You want to do.”

Often, we want to see the amazing before we prepare our hearts. But God’s pattern is the reverse—He calls us to ready ourselves first. When we align our lives with Him, we position ourselves to witness His power in ways we couldn’t imagine.

Today, take a moment to examine your heart. Is there something you need to lay down? A habit to surrender? A step of obedience you’ve been delaying? Your preparation today could be the doorway to God’s miracle tomorrow.

Prayer:
Lord, I consecrate myself to You today. Remove anything in me that hinders Your work. I trust that You have amazing things ahead, and I want to be ready to see and receive them. Amen.

Title: Restored in His Refuge: A Testimony from a Cancer Survivor

Scripture:
The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. — Nahum 1:7 NIV

Devotional:
Chemotherapy may have fought the cancer, but it also damaged parts of my body. I faced recurring infections in my eyes and gums, bleeding near my butt every time I went to the bathroom, and moments when my hearing failed me. These weren’t just medical issues — they were painful, exhausting battles that tested both my strength and my faith.

Yet, through it all, I found God to be exactly who Nahum 1:7 says He is — good, a refuge in times of trouble, caring for those who trust in Him. In my weakness, He was my safe place. In my pain, He stepped in and carried me.

And here’s the miracle: all that chemo destroyed, God has restored — my eyes, my gums, my hearing, and my body’s healing. By His grace, what was once broken has been made whole again. My trust in Him has not been in vain, because His care is real, His power is unmatched, and His goodness never changes.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for not only being my refuge in times of trouble, but also for restoring what was lost. I give You all the glory for the healing You’ve brought to my body. Help me to never forget Your faithfulness, and let my life be a testimony of Your goodness. Amen.

💖 Undeserved, Yet Deeply Loved – Romans 5:8 💖

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
— Romans 5:8 (NIV)
👉 Read it on Bible.com

Let this sink in for a moment: God didn’t wait for us to get it all together. He didn’t wait for us to clean up, believe more, or prove our worth. While we were still lost, broken, rebellious—sinners—Jesus gave His life for us.

That’s real love. Not the kind that loves when it’s easy or convenient, but the kind that initiates, sacrifices, and redeems. His love isn't based on our performance—it's rooted in His perfect character.

❤️ Maybe today you’re feeling unworthy, distant, or unsure if God could love someone like you. Let this verse be your reminder: He already does. The cross was His open declaration of love—for you.

📖 Take a moment to thank Him today. Not because you earned it, but because He gave it anyway.

🌿 Daily Devotional: Fix Your Focus
📖 "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." — Colossians 3:2 NIV
🔗 Read the verse

Life constantly pulls our attention in a thousand directions—work deadlines, family responsibilities, social media, finances, and future plans. But in the midst of all this noise, God gently calls us to lift our eyes.

This verse is a reminder that our true perspective isn’t shaped by the temporary struggles or pleasures of earth, but by the eternal hope we have in Christ. To "set your mind on things above" means to align your thoughts with God’s truth, to seek His Kingdom first, and to view life through the lens of eternity.

It doesn’t mean ignoring our responsibilities here—it means anchoring them in something greater. When our hearts are set on Christ, peace replaces worry, purpose replaces distraction, and hope overcomes fear.

🙌 Today, pause and ask:
👉 What am I focusing on?
👉 Are my thoughts shaped more by headlines or by heaven?
👉 How can I reset my mind on God’s promises?

🕊️ Fix your focus. The things above are eternal—and they never fade.

God Was Watching All Along: A Scare That Strengthened My Faith 🙏

About two months ago, I randomly checked my health records on the NHS app—and my heart dropped. A diagnosis I had never heard before appeared on the screen: carcinoma in situ of the uterus (in short, cancer of the uterus). My hands trembled, and sorrow washed over me. The record was dated February 2024, almost at the same time as my stem cell transplant, yet I had no memory of any test, hospital visit, or call from my GP that could have led to this. I cried—deep, aching tears. But in that moment of fear, God provided comfort through my daughter, who happened to be right there beside me. She reassured me, “Mum, it must be a mistake.” She prayed earnestly to God for comfort and also rebuking the diagnosis.

Still, something in me stirred—a mix of anxiety and faith. I knew I had to seek the truth, not just sit in fear. I called my GP practice: they had no record of it. I called my Haematology Consultant at the hospital: nothing there either. I felt like I was on a mission—not just to protect my health, but to protect my peace. So, I persisted. I booked an appointment with my GP to get to the bottom of it.

Yesterday, I finally got answers. It turns out it was a coding error—a mistake made when updating records. The diagnosis wasn’t real. It never was. My GP apologised sincerely.

In that moment, I whispered, “Thank You, Lord.” Not just for the relief, but for His quiet presence through it all—for the strength to press on, and for the reminder that we must be vigilant stewards of our own lives, even as we trust Him with every outcome.

This experience taught me that God doesn’t always shield us from the storm, but He never leaves us in it alone. And sometimes, He allows even a scare to deepen our faith, sharpen our discernment, and teach us to speak up for ourselves.

✨ Be encouraged to always check your health records. Ask questions. Follow up. And more importantly, trust that God sees the bigger picture—even when the details feel blurry.
