Two are better - By Esther Campbell

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

The Bible says clearly that two are better than one. They can help each other succeed. When you work as team and cooperate with one another, much work can be done. Unity and productivity go hand in hand.

We need fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23); that can help us work in unity and integrity and, with passion and excellence.

Woe to those who are alone and when they fall, there is no one trustworthy to help lift them up. Always find a good friend, because two is better than one (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).

Let’s work together for His kingdom with unity and true friendship.

Firm Foundation - By Esther Campbell

Matthew 7:24
Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.
 
Jesus is our firm foundation and we walk in His word firmly and steadily. The world may teach us otherwise but we belong to Jesus and our foundation is laid in His word.

When rains and floods come the foundation is collapsed (Matt 7:27) for the one who lays his foundation on the worldly good. Set your eyes on Jesus and walk firmly. The path may be look difficult and narrow but we can do all things in Christ who strengthens us (Phil 4:13).

Jacob chose the birthright and Esau chose the soup. Don’t fall into temporary happiness/satisfaction and give up your values that are set on His word. It’s never too late to turn back and come to Jesus and start setting your foundation to be strong and firm in Him.
 
Let’s choose wisely the path that leads to eternal life. Jesus is our only firm foundation.

Good Good Father - By Esther Campbell

1 John 3:1a
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!
 
Our Father God calls us all children and His love for us is infinite. He loves us so much that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). God’s love for us is eternal. We love Him because He first loved us.
 
Our earthly fathers are gift from God, they may be temporary on this earth but our Father in heaven is eternal and we are honored to be called His children (Romans 8:17).
 
On Father’s Day as we remember our fathers, think of the great love our Father has lavished on us (1 John 3:1) and adopted all of us to be His eternal children. Our God’s fatherhood for us is eternal.
 
Receive His great love and know that He is our Good, Good Father. Happy Father’s Day!

Fear Not - By Esther Campbell

Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'
 
In this uncertain world, it can get scary and we might be gripped with fear of the unknown. As believers, we have our hope in Christ the Lord. Isaiah 41:10 says fear not for I am with you. Take comfort in His word that the Lord is with us.
 
He will strengthen us and uphold us. Do not let the world around you oppress you and put you in a state of depression. Walk in confidence with Jesus because He is on our side. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear (Psalm 118:6).
 
He will help us and sustain us. Psalm 54:4 says Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. He will wrap us with His Love and fill our hearts and minds with heavenly peace (John 14:27).
 
Trust Him and walk in His peace and confidence today.
