Monday Testimony: God Met Me in the Middle of My Day

This morning started like many others. Before the calls, before the busyness, before the noise of the day, I paused to prepare my heart and mind. I asked God to guide me through every conversation and every moment, trusting that He would lead me wherever I needed to be.

My first dial of the day was a callback—one I intentionally chose. It felt routine, just another call to begin the workday. But my second call was completely random, and that’s where God surprised me in a beautiful way.

On the other end of the line was a fellow Christian. Instead of a typical conversation, she did something I didn’t expect—she prayed for me.

Right there on the call, she spoke blessings over my life. She asked God to strengthen me, to help me become an overcomer, and to guide me in every step I take. Her prayer reminded me that God’s ways are always greater than my own plans or expectations.

Most days in this kind of work, I hear impatient voices. Sometimes people are rude, sometimes they hang up quickly, and sometimes the conversations are discouraging. But today, God chose to start my Monday with encouragement and prayer.

It felt like a gentle reminder from Him:
“Don’t lean on your own understanding. Trust Me.”

That moment carried me through the rest of the morning.

But if I’m being honest, the whole day wasn’t perfect.

As the hours went by, I still encountered difficult calls. There were moments when frustration tried to creep in. There were conversations that didn’t go well and moments when my energy started to drop. It was one of those days where you keep going, but you can feel the weight of it.

Yet even in those moments, I kept remembering that prayer from the morning.

God had already shown me that He was present.

And throughout the day, in small and quiet ways, He kept helping me. Sometimes it was the patience to respond kindly when someone was rude. Sometimes it was the strength to keep dialing even when I felt discouraged. Sometimes it was simply the peace that reminded me I wasn’t facing the day alone.

Looking back now, I realize something important.

God didn’t promise that my whole day would be easy.

But He did show me that He would be with me through it.

That prayer at the beginning of my day wasn’t random—it was preparation. God knew what the rest of my day would look like, and He sent encouragement before the challenges even came.

What a faithful God we serve.

Today reminded me that even in the ordinary rhythm of work—calls, conversations, and routine moments—God is still moving. He can use a random phone call, a stranger’s prayer, or a small moment of encouragement to remind us that He sees us and cares about what we’re going through.

So even though my day wasn’t the best day overall, I can still say this with confidence:

God carried me through it.

And that’s enough for me to end this Monday with gratitude.

Because truly,

God is good all the time.

The Secret Place: Not Just Somewhere You Go, But Somewhere You Live

There’s a place where peace speaks louder than noise… A place where the pressure fades, the striving stops, and your soul finally breathes. For a long time, I thought that place was something I had to “get back to” when life slowed down… when I had more time… when I felt more spiritual. But if I’m being honest— I’m 28, I have a wife and a son, life is full, and sometimes it’s just noisy. And even though I know how to pray… even though I’ve experienced God before… There are seasons where I realize—I haven’t really been in that secret place. Not deeply. I know I can go deeper… but somehow, I don’t. And I think a lot of us live there. Knowing… but not fully entering. What Is the “Secret Place”? When Jesus said in Matthew 6:6, “Go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen…” I used to think it was just about finding a quiet space. And yes, it matters. But now I’m starting to see—it’s more than that. The secret place isn’t just a physical place....

Is Eating 3 Meals a Day Biblical? History, Scripture, and Modern Eating Habits

Image
Photo by Spencer Davis on Unsplash Many people today grow up believing that eating three meals a day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—is the natural way humans have always eaten . However, history tells a different story. The idea of eating three structured meals daily developed gradually through cultural changes, work schedules, and industrialization , not through biblical command or ancient tradition. Understanding where our eating habits come from can help us reflect more deeply on how we approach food today—physically, culturally, and spiritually . The History of Eating Meals Biblical Times: Usually One or Two Meals During the time of ancient Israel, people generally ate one main meal in the evening , sometimes accompanied by a lighter meal earlier in the day. Daily life was built around work, agriculture, and daylight , so the evening meal became the primary time for eating and gathering. Food was simple and practical. Bread, grains, olives, fish, and fruits formed the basis of many ...

When We Choose to Stay: A Reflection on Ruth and Orpah

Image
Photo by Kristaps Grundsteins on Unsplash Continuing from Yesterday’s Reflection In yesterday’s reflection, we looked at how Ruth’s story began not with triumph but with loss, pain, and uncertainty. We were reminded that privilege often hides behind hardship, and that many of us fail to see what God is doing because we become focused on our own struggles. Today, I want to reflect on a chapter of this narrative that points not only to God’s unfolding plan but also to the choices that shape how we respond to God’s purposes. In the beginning of the Book of Ruth, we see two women in the same situation. They both married Naomi’s sons, and they both experienced the same loss: their husbands died. Both women faced pain, uncertainty, and a future that seemed unclear. Yet, at the end of that chapter, they made two different decisions. The Bible does not explain why Orpah chose to return home, nor why Ruth chose to stay. What Scripture does tell us is how Ruth’s faithfulness brought her into ...
