Burning Bush Moments

Opening Scripture

“Then Moses said, ‘I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.’ So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’” —Exodus 3:3-4 (NKJV)

God Still Uses Burning Bushes

God is still calling. He is still placing moments in our lives that catch fire without burning up. Just like Moses, we each face moments that are meant to get our attention. It might not be a literal bush, but it could be a hardship, a breakthrough, or a quiet stirring in your spirit. The question is, will we turn aside and listen?

In this gathering, brothers shared testimonies of peace in busy seasons, answered prayers in times of need, and a strong sense that God is trying to speak through everyday events. These moments are no accident. They are divine appointments.

Faith in the Storm

“Peace, be still.” —Jesus (Mark 4:39)

Storms are not just disruptions. They reveal what we are really focused on. Are we watching the waves or the One who walks on water?

One brother reminded us that Jesus rebuked the wind, not just the waves. We often pray about the surface problems, but God is inviting us to pray deeper, to confront the real cause behind the chaos. Prayer and wisdom from God are key. The answer is not always to fix the problem, but to hear what God is doing through it.

Focus and Gratitude Unlock Peace

Gratitude is powerful. It doesn’t mean you ignore your struggles. It means you trust God in the middle of them. One man shared how focusing on God’s presence helped him stay at peace through his busy days. Another gave thanks for family health and God’s provision after his son lost a job.

Thankfulness is a choice. It helps us hear God’s voice more clearly. Gratitude trains our hearts to expect God’s goodness.

God Is Rebuilding Men

God is not just fixing things. He is rebuilding lives. The process starts with tearing down old ways of thinking: self-doubt, fear, and shame. God wants to rebuild us with identity, truth, and purpose.

This is not just personal healing. It is preparation for service. God is rebuilding men to help rebuild families, communities, and the world around them. But first, we must let Him work on us from the inside out.

Make Yourself Available

When God called Moses, Moses responded with, “Here I am.” That is all God needs. A willing heart. You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to be available.

Prayer and fasting help us get ready. They help us stop and listen. They help us turn aside from distractions and focus on what really matters: God’s voice.

Final Prayer

Lord, thank You for calling us. Help us to recognize when You are speaking. Teach us to turn aside and say, “Here I am.” Tear down anything that blocks us from You, and rebuild us in truth and power. Help us walk in faith, stand in unity, and be available for Your purpose. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God is calling. Don’t miss the moment. Turn aside and say yes.

Walking in the Light of God’s Blessings

Opening Scripture

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Psalm 119:105 (NKJV)

Be Thankful for God’s Blessings

God has given us many blessings, both seen and unseen. We are called to give thanks at all times. He has provided for our needs in the past and will continue to do so. When we thank God, we open our hearts to His peace and remember His goodness.

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV)

God is Patient with Our Weaknesses

Even when we fall short, God does not give up on us. He sees our struggles and still chooses to love and guide us. He speaks to us with kindness and lifts us up with strength. His mercy is greater than our failures.

“But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.”
Psalm 86:15 (NKJV)

Obedience Brings Blessing

When we follow the voice of the Holy Spirit, we walk in the way of life. Obedience to God brings peace and favor. His instructions lead us to blessings we could not find on our own.

“If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land.”
Isaiah 1:19 (NKJV)

God’s Word Guides Our Steps

The Bible is not just a book. It is the light that shows us the way to go. Even if we cannot see the full road ahead, His Word gives enough light for the step we need to take today. Trust His Word and walk in it.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Psalm 119:105 (NKJV)

Teach the Next Generation

Children need to know who God is. We are called to teach them about His love, His truth, and His ways. When we show them how to follow Jesus, we help build a strong foundation in their lives.

“Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)

Fear the Lord and Know His Power

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God is holy and powerful. We must never take His presence lightly. True fear of God leads us to live humbly, obey His commands, and stay away from sin.

“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Hebrews 10:31 (NKJV)

“Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.”
Psalm 33:8 (NKJV)

God’s Mercy is Greater Than Our Sin

God could destroy us because of our sin, but He shows us mercy instead. He forgives, restores, and uses us for His glory. His grace reaches deeper than our worst mistakes.

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NKJV)

A Call to Respond

Let us not delay. Let us turn our hearts fully to God. Thank Him, obey Him, fear Him, and trust His Word. His path is safe, and His Word is sure. In every decision, let His truth lead the way.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

God Justifies, Wisdom Guides, Fathers Lead

Opening Verse

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed.”
Romans 4:16 (KJV)

Introduction

We are living in a time where people misunderstand God’s grace, ignore His wisdom, and question the importance of fathers. But the Bible speaks clearly. God justifies those who come to Him by faith. He gives wisdom to those who ask. And He calls fathers to lead their homes in truth and love.

Devotional Insight

In Romans 4, we are reminded that Abraham was not justified by his works, but by faith. God made him righteous because he believed. In Zechariah 3, Joshua the high priest stood before God in filthy clothes while Satan accused him. But God did not agree with Satan. Instead, He gave Joshua clean garments, showing that He alone makes us clean.

Proverbs 4 teaches us how to live with wisdom. It tells us to guard our hearts, watch our steps, and avoid the path of the wicked. Wisdom does not come automatically. We must seek it and stay focused on God.

We also talked about the role of fathers. Today’s culture often mocks or ignores fatherhood, but the Bible lifts it up. Fathers are meant to lead their families in God’s ways. This is not easy, but it is necessary.

What This Means

We cannot earn God’s love. He gives it freely to those who believe. Are you still trying to prove yourself, or have you trusted in God’s grace?

Wisdom is a daily choice. Are you feeding your mind with truth or filling it with distractions?

Fathers have a great responsibility. Are you leading with love and purpose, or letting the world shape your family?

These are not just questions for thought. They are calls to action.

Think About This

Are you living by faith, or are you still trying to be good enough?

Is your heart protected by God’s wisdom, or open to harmful influences?

If you’re a father, what example are you setting for your children?

What needs to change in your life so that you can follow God more closely?

Prayer

Father, thank You for Your grace that justifies me through faith. Help me seek wisdom every day. Teach me to guard my heart and walk in Your truth. Strengthen fathers and leaders to guide their families with love and courage. Keep us focused on You, even when the world tries to pull us away. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Closing Verse

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)

Rebuilt by Grace: Walking in God’s Abundant Life

Opening Scripture:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
— Ephesians 2:8-10 (NKJV)

God’s Faithfulness in Every Season

From the start of the year until now, we’ve seen God keep every promise. He answered prayers, healed loved ones, and guided steps through every twist. When one brother’s sister was hospitalized, God brought her back to health. When travel plans went awry, He provided better accommodations. This is our loving Father, faithful in both small mercies and great surprises.

Trusting Him Through Hard Times

Hardship isn’t just bad luck—it’s part of God’s work to shape us. When we face tough seasons, God is testing our trust. He wants us to lean on Him, not our own strength. Remember, every difficulty is an invitation: Will you cling to His peace, or will you sink into worry? Choose faith. Hold onto His promise that He makes good work out of every trial.

Aligning with God’s Plan, Not Ours

We often chase the “American Dream”—comfort, ease, success by human standards. But Jesus calls us to something higher: His abundant life. That doesn’t mean trouble-free; it means purpose-filled. Our real joy comes when we fit into God’s story instead of forcing our own. Ask Him each day: “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then step out, even if it feels small—a phone call of encouragement or a silent prayer.

Small Gestures, Big Impact

A simple bracelet, a timely phone call, a word of encouragement—these little things carry the power of the Holy Spirit. When Drew called at just the right moment, it lifted spirits. When someone remembered to pray, peace flooded in. Don’t underestimate small acts of love. As you go through your day, look for tiny ways to share God’s presence.

Living the Abundant Life

Jesus said He came so we could have life more abundantly. That isn’t a promise of zero problems—it’s a promise of His presence through every one. Even in suffering, Christ holds us close. Like missionaries who endure great hardship, we, too, share in that lasting joy. Let this truth sink in: No matter what comes, God’s grace is bigger. His workmanship in us prepares good works that will last into eternity.

Prayer

Father, thank You for Your unending faithfulness. Help me trust You completely in every season. Guide my steps into Your plan, not my own. Show me the small ways I can share Your love today. Fill me with Your Spirit so I can live the abundant life You promised. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Closing Verse

John 10:10 (KJV)
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
