Hope for Today

Women are unique! God has given us great responsibilities. Just think, we get to experience being daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, aunts, and grandmothers. God's Word graciously instructs us on widowhood, modesty, conduct that is "becoming", and authority.  What is required of us to realize God's plan for our lives? Short answer --God's wisdom and a heart of obedience. Years ago, I memorized this Scripture, "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands." Proverbs 14:1 (NIV). That verse sums it up. It speaks volumes. Women, we can either build our house or tear it down. Which will it be?

I recently returned from a 10-day tour in Egypt. It was spectacular! The itinerary was full of all the main tourist attractions in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Kom Ombo/Edfu. As well as, a three-day cruise on the Nile. I got to stand on the grounds of ancient history with all its unexplained mysteries. I couldn't begin to comprehend it all without going back to the Bible. It was there that I was reminded of how Egypt played a critical role in the history of the children of Israel. The children of Israel spent at least 400 years in Egypt. According to Genesis 15:12-13, Abram fell into a deep sleep and in verse 13 Scripture says, Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there." (NIV) We know for a fact that the biblical account of the Egyptians and the children of Israel presents a shared and intertwined history. Join us Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT.  We will talk about the splendors of Egypt and the country's biblical roots.

Sometimes it's difficult to get up in the morning and get going. We all have our daily routines and if we are completely honest with ourselves life can become mundane. It's easy to feel as though we are stuck in a rut. What if we woke up each morning with the perspective that each day is a gift from God?  Each day brings new possibilities. We have 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, at least 30 days in a month, and 365 days in a year. Psalm 27:4 says, "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple." (NIV) Join us Tuesday, March 26, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT.  We will explore the gift of time measured in days and how to make each day count.

Wednesday, March 6, 2019, is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten Season. Christians will observe 40 days of Lent and reflect on the death and burial of Jesus Christ. Then, with much hope, we will look beyond Christ's crucifixion and prepare spiritually, emotionally, and physically to celebrate Resurrection Day/Easter Sunday. Jesus Christ sacrificed and withdrew into the desert for 40 days. As our perfect example, we too can fast from food, festivities, or anything else that falls into the categories of sin and distractions. What will you give up? Matthew 4:1-3 says..."Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” (NIV) Join us Tuesday, March 12, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PDT.We will talk about the Lenten Season and how to make this a personal and rewarding journey.

Life is not simple when we do not know what it is we are supposed to be doing.  The unknowing gives way to floundering and groping around in the dark trying to figure it out. When we finally realize our destiny, life becomes more clear and intentional.  No longer are we afraid to live, dream, and set goals.  Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." (NKJV).   Join us Tuesday, February 26, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST.  Our special guest, Damon J. Brown, is an artist and the founder of Creativelou.

We all seek guidance and advice from family, friends, and the experts. Throughout life we make important decisions about, just to name a few, higher education; careers; employment; who to marry; rearing children; financial matters; and medical concerns. Whose advice is worthwhile and whose advice should we tune out? Tuning out unhelpful advice and opinions gives us more time to listen to sound counsel. There is a roadmap for our lives to which we all have access. Psalm 119:105 says, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (KJV) God's Word illuminates, it's light in darkness and provides clarity to our pathway. Join us Tuesday, February 12, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we talk about seeking guidance for the decisions we make.

Personal devotion matters. Mornings, afternoons or evenings with Jesus is daily encouragement and food for our soul and spirit. It’s like putting on spiritual armor to face spiritual battle fraught with daily challenges. There's nothing worse than existing through life without hope or peace. Peace with our Heavenly Father is being in relationship with Him. He loves us! We can also experience peace in the midst of our struggles. True peace only comes from Jesus Christ who says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27 (NIV). We also have hope in Christ, who is an anchor for our soul. Join us Tuesday, January 29, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST, with our featured guest, Mother Julia author of the book entitled “Unshackled & Unbound Devotions”. Julia started a ministry, Unshackled and Unbound, to help others be set free. Her testimony of years of hardship is contrasted with progress.  Today, Mother Julia walks confidently in freedom, peace and hope that only Christ can give. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

We all have melodies from God in our hearts that can be shared through writings, speaking, stories, poetry, and songs. Whatever our means of expression is, God will assure us the opportunity to share with others what's on our mind and within our heart. In Ephesians 6:19-20 it says, "speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. " (NIV). Let's embark on a journey and share our melodies to the Lord. And through that process, remember there is a place for humor, laughter, and tears of joy and sadness.

New Year's Day marks a time for new beginnings. In the United States of America, January 1st is the 1st day of a new calendar year. The celebration usually starts on new Year's Eve. And, at 11:59:50 pm, we begin the countdown --10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – and then we shout Happy New Year!! When the clock strikes 12:00 midnight, a new day, month, year, decade, and era has begun. Time has existed since the creation. And we, the human race, are driven by our internal clockwork. What are you and I planning to accomplish in 2019. Whatever it is, it will take deliberation and a plan of action. Some of us will succeed by God's standards. Others will not. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." (NIV) Join us Tuesday, January 1, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST,as we consider the new year and what possibilities God has in store for you and I.

The Christmas season is upon us! Many will celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ on December 25. His birth was foretold by the prophets of old way before it came to pass. The New Testament records the fulfillment of these prophecies, thus making the age-old Christmas story biblical and true. Jesus the Son of God was born of a virgin in a manger and came from Bethlehem. Jesus the Christ came in the flesh to save sinners. How does your family celebrate Christmas? What traditions highlight the Holiday? Is Mass or Worship Service a part of your celebration? Do you avoid Christmas like the plague because of its all-consuming commercialism?  Whatever holds true for you, you're not alone! Join us Tuesday, December 18, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we invite callers to join in and share Christmas Holiday traditions that are near and dear to their hearts.
