Today, even though life will be hard and people will press your buttons, pray like David: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10)
PHONE ADDICTION::I was on the road for a walk for a morning walk and what I saw is SCARY.
2 out of 3 drivers in my direction were either texting, talking or scrolling through their phones while driving.
My friend, driving needs your full attention. When you drive, drive.
If it’s an important that you must use your phone, park first. No message, call or TikTok video is worth your life.
Keep it SAFE: eyes up, phone down!

Achievement is a very dangerous place to find identity. You will disappoint yourself, others will disappoint you, and your list of successes won't satisfy the craving of your soul. Only the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ will.
Jesus named one sign of His return before He named the tribulation.
Not war.
Not famine.
Not the antichrist.
He named marriage.
"As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark." — Matthew 24:37-38
Read it again.
Marrying and giving in marriage.
He put that phrase before the abomination of desolation. Before the sun goes black. Before the moon turns to blood.
The first end-times sign.
Marriage.
He wasn't guessing.
He was pointing back six chapters to Genesis.
"The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose." — Genesis 6:2
The first marriage crisis in human history.
God flooded the earth over it.
Jude names who the sons of God were. Peter confirms it.
Angels. Strange flesh. Broken bloodline.
Then the rain.
Now look at your phone.
15% of women under 25 on OnlyFans. Christian Mingle full of bots. Men sending thousands of messages, getting nothing. Women in their thirties with no husband. Children raised by the algorithm.
You thought it was a dating problem.
It's Genesis 6.
Jesus said when you see it happening again, I'm at the door.
You are not losing the dating game.
You are watching a prophecy unfold in your group chat.

So I was reading about King Solomon in the Bible, and honestly… this story messed with my head a little. In 1 Kings 3:12, God literally told Solomon that He would give him wisdom like no one before him and no one after him. Like… imagine being the wisest person to ever live. Ever. That made me wonder, Why did God make Solomon so special? Why give him wisdom greater than anyone else in history? Then I kept reading, and I found his downfall in 1 Kings 11.
I was confused. Where did that wisdom go?
How could the wisest man in the world end up worshiping idols? How could someone so wise make such foolish decisions? So I kept searching, reading, thinking…... and then I found this line that hit me hard: "If this was the case with the wisest man who ever lived, then what hope do we have apart from constant dependence on Jesus Christ? Let the example of Solomon drive us to greater dependence on Him." And that’s when it clicked. No matter how smart you are. No matter how blessed you are.
No matter how high God lifts you. If you stop fearing God….. If you stop depending on Him..... You can fall. Badly. Even Solomon fell.
And it honestly felt like God was talking straight to me:
“Oh you want to be wise?
Look at the wisest man in the world.
See what happened when he stopped walking with Me.”
God’s works are truly beyond our understanding.
Praise the Lord!
We want the warhorse.
Jesus rides a donkey.
We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.
We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.
We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.
We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.
You have no idea how often I think about my primary school MDD choir team. 🥹 What a time and experience of my life that was. This has reminded me of playing the wooden Xylophone.
The fascinating bamboo band from Papua New Guinea thrills audiences with a captivating performance, playing drums and musical instruments crafted entirely from bamboo.
