The Lord's Word this morning. Just wanted to share... share.google/9WtWbFtgeXBSes…

Today’s Devotional: “God’s Better Than” Hannah was one of Elkanah's two wives. Although she was greatly loved, she was also barren and unable to have children, which was looked down upon in that culture. She was also constantly depressed and miserable about her condition because of being constantly harassed by Peninnah, Elkanah’s second wife, who continually reminded her of her “shame.” “Peninnah would taunt Hannah and make fun of her because the Lord had kept her from having children.” (1 Samuel 1:6) Every year, the family would go to the tabernacle in Shiloh to worship the Lord and offer sacrifices. Every year, Elkanah gave Hannah a double portion because he loved her so much. But Hannah was still sad and wept. Finally, Elkanah said, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?” (1 Samuel 1:8) Far too often, we look at what others have, whether physical possessions or the gifts and talents given to them by God, and we become upset and saddened because what we have seems far less in comparison. But I believe the Lord is saying to us what Elkanah said to Hannah, “Am I not better to you than all these others?” God’s presence in our lives is better than any possession or ministry we may have, whether ours or others’. God’s love for us is far greater than anything else. “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4:10) “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) God is truly better than anything or anyone else could ever be. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, let’s rejoice in God’s love for us.

@RealShahriqKhan You are an excellent apologist! May God continue to watch over you. May He protect you into old age, in the matchless mighty name of Jesus, the Christ.

You know what DIDN’T shock me when I came to Christ as a Muslim?  Jesus, the real Jesus. He didn’t shock me at all. What shocked me was how consistent He was with the God I was reading about in the Torah. I’m reading the Bible for the first time and thinking: “Wait a second. This God, Yahweh, is always stepping into humanity.” He’s not distant. He walks in the garden. Adam and Eve hear Him. He wrestles with Jacob. He appears as the angel of the Lord. He speaks to Moses face to face. So when Jesus shows up, it doesn't feel random. It felt like the next step. People act like the Incarnation came out of nowhere. It didn’t. It’s progressive revelation. God revealing more of Himself, culminating in Christ. The Trinity isn’t random theology. It’s God with us. God for us. God among us. Isaiah said it 700 years before—Emmanuel, God with us. That’s prophecy. So here’s where I got stuck: Why is it easier to believe God walked, spoke, appeared, wrestled— but suddenly He can’t enter His own creation? That logic doesn’t make sense. For me, recognizing Jesus as God wasn’t a leap. It was the most natural next step. And once I realized the Torah was revelation from God, not the Quran, I knew where I had to stand.

“I’d rather stand with God and be condemned by the world than to stand with the world and be condemned by God.” - Denzel Washington

You know what shook me when I was Muslim? The Quran actually mashes a bunch of MAJOR stories together. For example, Saul and Gideon, it straight up remixes the biblical account and then calls it “New Revelation.” In 1 Samuel, Saul is chosen as Israel’s king. He’s tall, strong, and anointed by Samuel. In Judges 7, Gideon is the one who tests his army by the water. Those who lap like dogs are cut, those who drink properly stay. Two different leaders. Two different times in history. But in Surah 2:246–252, the Quran gives that water test to Saul. That’s like saying George Washington crossed the Atlantic Ocean to discover America in 1492. Totally different people. Totally different events. But the Quran fuses them into one blended story. Why is nobody talking about this? That’s not Revelation—that’s confusion. The details are undeniably the same, and it’s undeniably a mix-up. And here’s what hit me: As a Muslim reading the Bible, I realized something. The Bible is laser precise with names, places, and timelines, because God actually moved in real history. But the Quran feels like someone overheard Jewish and Christian stories, mashed them together, and turned them into a moral lesson. And if the book I was reading can’t keep Saul and Gideon straight, how could I trust it with my eternity? The God of Scripture doesn’t blur history. He writes it in detail, and every story points forward. The entire Old Testament is a witness to the coming of Christ. And that’s why I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior.

@Matt_Pinner Matt I went through a similar situation last year into this year. However by February our Lord Jesus Christ delivered me. Read Daniel 6 and stay before God in prayer

I am going through one of the worst time in my life right now. Will you take the next 5 seconds and just pray for me? 🙏 Thanks, my friends. ❤️

No lo sabía. Cuando quedas embarazada, las células del bebé siguen vivas en el cuerpo de la madre durante más de 27 años. Se llama "microquimerismo": durante el embarazo, las células del bebé entran en la sangre de la madre a través de la placenta y se instalan incluso en órganos y en el cerebro. En un estudio de 2012 de la Universidad de Washington, se encontraron células de origen fetal en el cerebro de aproximadamente el 63% de las mujeres analizadas. Y estas células no se quedan ahí sin hacer nada. Cuando el corazón o el hígado de la madre sufre daño, las células del bebé acuden a ese lugar y ayudan a reparar el tejido. A nivel celular, el hijo protege a su madre. Y hay algo más: las células de los bebés perdidos por aborto espontáneo o muerte fetal también permanecen en el cuerpo de la madre. El embarazo, a nivel celular, es convertirse en madre para siempre. El vínculo con tu hijo es para toda la vida. El lazo entre madre e hijo existe a nivel celular. Es demasiado bonito...

@Aestheticswallz Amen, in Jesus name!

Be encouraged! Somebody prayed for you today.

Listen to a conversation I over heard... One person said to another "Be careful how you treat people when you think they have no power". This is one, I will keep. You see we may be entertaining Angel's. Lord Jesus help us.
