WORD DIARY: SUNDAY AUGUST 16, 2026

 

#Go for obedience!..

Jer. 9:12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?

#Go for wisdom!

Jer. 9:13-14 The Lord said, “It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law. Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them.”

#Go for obedience!

Jer. 9:15-16 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water. I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them.”

#Go for repentance!

Jer. 9:17-18 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; send for the most skillful of them. Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and water streams from our eyelids.

Let us pray: Father God, hear our cry for mercy in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather have the fruits of obedience?

2. Would you rather have the consequences of disobedience?

Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

 God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

These verses and the accompanying nuggets are meant to start you out every day. But you need a personal relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It will help to contact a Bible believing church near you.

NEW BEGINNING! – PART 3 - SUSTAINING A NEW SEASON!..

 

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

One of the expressions of new things is that God uses them to offer us a new beginning. A new beginning is one of God's greatest gifts to humanity. It is His gracious invitation to leave behind the failures of yesterday and embrace the hope of tomorrow. It is the assurance that no matter how far we have fallen, how many mistakes we have made, or how impossible our circumstances appear, God is able to write a new chapter in our lives. The gospel itself is the greatest story of a new beginning. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, sinners are forgiven, hearts are transformed, and lives are recreated by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Apostle Paul captures this truth in our anchor Scripture, 2 Corinthians 5:17, where he declares that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. This is not merely an improvement of the old life or an attempt at self-reformation. It is a complete transformation brought about by the saving work of Christ. The old identity dominated by sin, guilt, shame, and spiritual death has passed away, and a new life filled with God's grace, purpose, and righteousness has begun. This new beginning is available to every person who places their faith in Jesus Christ.

Throughout the Bible, we see remarkable examples of people whom God gave fresh starts. Noah entered a cleansed world after the flood. Abraham began a new journey at God's command. Moses received a new assignment after years in the wilderness. Ruth moved from loss to divine purpose. David rose from shepherd to king, despite his humble beginnings. Peter was restored after denying Christ, and Saul the persecutor became Paul the apostle through the transforming power of God's grace. Their stories remind us that our past does not have to determine our future when God is at work.

Our five-part series for the month of August, “New Beginning” will help us establish that every genuine new beginning starts with Christ and continues as we surrender every area of our lives to Him. Together we will learn how to leave the past behind, experience God's restoring power, renew our minds through His Word, and walk boldly into the new season He has prepared for us. Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal, healing from past failures, restoration in your family, breakthrough in your career, or a deeper relationship with God, this series will reveal timeless biblical principles that lead to lasting transformation.

As we journey through this month together, let us approach God's Word with expectant hearts. Let us believe that the God who opened the Red Sea, restored broken lives, raised Jesus from the dead, and established the Church is still at work today. May this month mark the beginning of a fresh season of faith, obedience, fruitfulness, and spiritual growth as we experience the life-changing reality of God's New Beginning.

WORD DIARY: SATURDAY AUGUST 15, 2026

 

#Time for testing!..

Jer. 9:6 You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the Lord.

#Acknowledge the Lord!

Jer. 9:7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says: “See, I will refine and test them,     for what else can I do because of the sin of my people?

#Time for testing!

Jer. 9:8-9 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceitfully. With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors, but in their hearts they set traps for them. Should I not punish them for this?” declares the Lord. “Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?”

#Speak the truth!

Jer. 9:10-11 I will weep and wail for the mountains and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands. They are desolate and untraveled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds have all fled and the animals are gone. “I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there.”

Let us pray: Father God, have mercy and refresh our land in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather be tested?

2. Would you rather be refined?

WORD DIARY: FRIDAY AUGUST 14, 2026

 

#Desire a separation!..

Jer. 9:1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain of my people.

#No more weeping!

Jer. 9:2 Oh, that I had in the desert a lodging place for travelers, so that I might leave my people and go away from them; for they are all adulterers, a crowd of unfaithful people.

#Desire a separation!

Jer. 9:3 “They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land. They go from one sin to another; they do not acknowledge me,” declares the Lord.

#Desire the truth!

Jer. 9:4-5 “Beware of your friends; do not trust anyone in your clan. For every one of them is a deceiver, and every friend a slanderer. Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning.

Let us pray: Father God, we receive grace to pursue the truth in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather seek truth?

2. Would you rather seek deception?

WORD DIARY: THURSDAY AUGUST 13, 2026

 

#Desire divine comfort!..

Jer. 8:16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it,     the city and all who live there.

#Reject enemy invasion!

Jer. 8:17 “See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed,    and they will bite you,” declares the Lord.

#Beware of poison!

Jer. 8:18-19 You who are my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me. Listen to the cry of my people from a land far away: “Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they aroused my anger with their images, with their worthless foreign idols?”

#Desire divine comfort!

Jer. 8:20-22 “The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved.” Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn, and horror grips me. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?

Let us pray: Father God, heal us of every wound in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather seek divine comfort?

2. Would you rather seek human comfort?

WORD DIARY: WEDNESDAY AUGUST 12, 2026

 

 

#Beware of shame!..

Jer. 8:10-11 Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. “Peace, peace,” they say, when there is no peace.

#Beware of deception!

Jer. 8:12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all;     they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the Lord.

#Beware of shame!

Jer. 8:13 “‘I will take away their harvest, declares the Lord. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them     will be taken from them.’”

#Beware of scarcity!

Jer. 8:14-15 Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities     and perish there! For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him. We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there is only terror.

Let us pray: Father God, have mercy and heal us in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather engage in shameful acts?

2. Would you rather engage in honorable acts?

WORD DIARY: TUESDAY AUGUST 11, 2026

 

#Observe the seasons!..

Jer. 8:4-5 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: “‘When people fall down, do they not get up? When someone turns away, do they not return? Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.

#Change for better!

Jer. 8:6 I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. None of them repent of their wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Each pursues their own course like a horse charging into battle.

#Say the right thing!

Jer. 8:7 Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the Lord.

#Observe the seasons!

Jer. 8:8-9 “‘How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? The wise will be put to shame;     they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the Lord, what kind of wisdom do they have?

Let us pray: Father God, may we not be put to shame in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. What season are you in?

2. What would you do in the season?
