It's tempting to turn to human wisdom for a quick solution when we're faced with difficulties, much like how we scramble to find torches or matches when we experience a power cut.But Isaiah 50:11 cautions us about trusting in man-made solutions, for those who “light [... and ...] walk in the light of [their] fires” will not receive comfort from the Lord, who is the only true light.God is pleased when we choose to put our full trust in Him. It reveals who He is to us—that we truly believe He is the 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑺𝒉𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒅 who cares for us. 🤗Going through a dark season?

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭?Psalm 23 is known to comfort, but the preceding psalm—believed by biblical scholars to be the context of the Psalm—reveals the reality of David's suffering. As he walks through the valley of the shadow of death, he is reminded of God's faithful character and writes the psalm we all know and love today.Like David, our present may seem bleak but know that God will never leave nor forsake us (Deut 31:8). Trust in the Shepherd who remains unchanging even if our seasons may.Read more about the relationship we have with the Shepherd: https://www.odbm.org/en/discovery-series/the-lord-is-my-shepherd/introduction — Collaboration between @ourdailybreadsingapore and @ymi.today

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 | This Is How Our Story EndsDo you feel anxious for the main character in the story when are left hanging with a cliffhanger? Every story has ups and downs, and those who witness it always hope for a happy ending.Our lives are also stories with joys and sorrows. Instead of losing hope in an uncertain ending, we can be assured that with God as the writer of our story, our ending is certain and victorious. We can live without despair, but full of purpose and hope in Christ.

Dear Christian, are you resisting the world by relying on self or faith in Christ?As children born of God, we don’t overcome worldly temptations and pressures by sheer effort. 𝑾𝒆 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕."Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God." (1 John 5:5)Believing that Jesus is the Son of God means we trust in His finished work and rely on His divine strength to choose obedience and holiness over rebellion and compromise.Find out more on how you can win the fight against sin: https://ymi.today/2015/07/i-cant-stop-sinning-what-should-i-do/ — Collaboration between @ourdailybreadsingapore and @ymi.today

In ancient times, the priest would encourage the Israelites with these words before they went into battle. Today, we are encouraged by Jesus our High Priest when we face spiritual battles. 💪God isn’t asking us to deny the reality of the obstacles and difficulties in our path. But we’re called to recognise a greater truth: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑺𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒖𝒔.God has proven Himself powerful and faithful before—that’s why we can trust Him!Here's how you can focus on God's victory through worship: https://ymi.today/2019/05/3-ways-to-worship-god-during-tough-times/ — Collaboration between @ourdailybreadsingapore and @ymi.today

After sin entered the world, we became eternally separated from God. Nobody’s work could save or reconcile us with Him. But in loving kindness, our Heavenly Father gave us grace through His Son. In Christ’s victorious work on the cross, we were justified and saved, reconciled with God for eternity (Tit 3:4-7).𝑶𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒐𝒅’𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅 (Eph 2:19). In God’s mercy and Christ’s triumph over death we can know God personally.How have you been changed by God’s grace and mercy? — Collaboration between @ourdailybreadsingapore and @ymi.today

The falsehoods and deception we need to guard against today are not unlike that of the early church, though technology and media have amplified their reach and influence.Yet we are not left defenceless and defeated. God reminds us that we are His children and the Holy Spirit living in us helps us discern and overcome the spirit of falsehood.Dear friends, fear not. Though the deception is great, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓. 🙌Learn about deciphering truth in a world of deception and uncertainty: https://ymi.today/2020/09/feeling-overwhelmed-by-information/ — Collaboration between @ourdailybreadsingapore and @ymi.today

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 | The Privilege of SufferingThe apostle Paul reframes hardships entirely—they are not a heavy punishment or a cold test of strength. On the contrary, God graciously uses suffering to grow our faith and deepen our fellowship with Him.As we keep trusting in God, He can turn our pain into a place of deeper dependence, hope, and connection with Him.

The first word that comes to mind when we think of trials is probably not joy.Distress, discouragement, defeat—these are more likely descriptors. 😅Though the words “trials” and “joy” seem contradictory at first glance, James encourages us to take on a godly, growth-minded perspective.We can have joy because we know that trials aren’t the end but are the means by which we grow in perseverance and maturity. 📈We can take heart because “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Rom 8:28).Read more about persevering through trials: https://ymi.today/2016/07/will-god-give-me-more-than-i-can-bear/— Collaboration between @ourdailybreadsingapore and @ymi.today

God’s love is both unconditional and transformational. He welcomes us just as we are—but He doesn’t leave us the same.Though the process of correction and change can be painful and uncomfortable, let’s focus on our Father’s love for us. He loves us too much to turn a blind eye to the wrong turns and detours we take.By embracing His life-saving discipline, we have the assurance that we’re 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔. 🤗Wondering if you're going through a season of discipline?

Metalsmiths subject precious metals like gold and silver to extreme heat, to refine them. In the same way God allows trials in our life to refine us, because our faith is precious to Him.Through the fire of refinement and purification, our faith emerges stronger, and its quality is revealed. 🔥✨Remember, our faith is “of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire” (1 Pet 1:7).

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 | A Reverse Poem𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒑𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒅! 👉When what we hope and pray for doesn’t come true, we often believe the lie that God withholds good things from us, that He is fickle in the way He treats us.Let’s be reminded of what James 1:17 tells us: “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”God is always good—that’s His unchanging nature. All of God’s gifts are good—even if they come in a form or at a timing that doesn’t match our expectations.Are we clinging on to the truth today?

How can one never thirst again? It’s hard to imagine what that would feel like, especially with Singapore’s hot and humid weather.However, Jesus offers something special: living water. Water that will not leave us wanting. A drink that truly satisfies (John 4:13–14).What kinds of wells are you drinking from today? Where do you go to find satisfaction? Jesus told the Samaritan woman, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and he would have given you living water” (v. 10).𝑻𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒇𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏! — Collaboration between @ourdailybreadsingapore and @ymi.todayRead more about drinking from Jesus' deep well: https://odb.sg/faith-and-life/living-with-disease-and-drinking-from-jesus-deep-well/

When success and victory come, who do you praise? Or do you think: “If not for my hard work and smart brain, this wouldn't have been possible!”Fellow child of God, you have worked hard indeed. But it is our Father who created us with the abilities to produce good work (Deut 8:17–18).

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 | The Vine and the BranchesHave you ever wondered why Jesus says, “𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔”?

In a broken world where we can fall prey to lies and deceptions, staying rooted in His truth is more important than ever.💖𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓.
