"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4

"One day there'll be no more lives taken too soon
One day there'll be no more need for a hospital room
One day every tear that falls will be wiped by His hand
We will see the promised land

"Hallelujah, there will be healing
From this heartbreak we've been feeling
We'll sing in the darkest night
'Cause we know that the light will come
And there will be healing, hallelujah"
-Cochren & Co., “One Day”

You know, lately, I have really been looking forward to a day like what is described in today’s Power Verse. A day when I don’t have to worry about the world’s struggles anymore. A day when all the pain and worries that we see everyday are no longer a concern. A day where the only thing on our minds is worshiping our Heavenly Father forever.

If you are a Christian, then you understand this longing. You understand the feeling that we aren’t where we’re supposed to be. You understand the desire for the perfection of our new eternal life with Christ. So, let me encourage you with this: That day that we are waiting for is coming. We have eternal hope waiting for us. We just have to deal with some valleys first. So, no matter what you face today, or tomorrow, or next week, or next year, remember that this day where all tears, death, and pain will pass is on its way.

"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." Romans 6:4

Romans 6:4 seems to coincide with last Monday’s Power Verse nicely. Isaiah 65:17-The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

We all mess up every single day. We make mistakes. We ask forgiveness. We repeat the same mistakes. Oh, it’s always something.

“I’m So Blessed” by CAIN, comes on the radio and it speaks to these verses:

"I'm so blessed (I'm so blessed)
Hallelujah, I'm blessed
I'm so blessed (I'm so blessed)
Hallelujah, I'm blessed
Trouble knocking at my door today
I ain't gonna let it in
And worry wanna steal my joy away
But I ain't gonna let it win"

" 'Cause on my best day, I'm a child of God
On my worst day, I'm a child of God
Oh, every day is a good day
And You're the reason why"

I love when the soloist pauses between two specific lines:
On my best day…pause…I’m a child of God.
On my worst day…pause…I’m a child of God.

Your transgressions of yesterday are not remembered. Even your mistakes from today disappear as your heart repents to The Lord. On your best day…and worst day…you are a child of God. Someday, you will rest in the peacefulness of the new heavens and earth God promised us. Through baptism and Christ’s great gift to us we are blessed with the opportunity to walk in the newness of life.

Take it with a joyful heart.

And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:5

Oh, I love Revelation! There are some monumental verses that are such a gift to us in the midst of the chaos in this world. This particular verse is from a section labeled “A New Heaven and a New Earth.” And all of its’ promises and illustrations are hope-filled:

"Then I saw 'a new heaven and a new earth,' for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.'

"He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!' Then he said, 'Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.'

"He said to me: 'It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.'"

-Revelation 21:1-8

Such a beautiful vision of our future, as children of God. This is the prophecy God shared with us, through The Word, that awaits the people on earth. Don’t you want to follow His commands after seeing what He prepares for us? Doesn’t the worries of this world melt away at the mention of a peace-filled existence where God reigns amongst us?! His dwelling place beside us?!

Never grow tired of doing what is good, for the reward that awaits us is greater than we can even comprehend.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

I have a question for you: Have you ever just felt tired?

Don’t worry, I know that you’re probably looking at your screen reading that and then rolling your eyes because of how ridiculous of a question that is.

“Of course, I have! I am human after all…”

Another question: Have you ever been exhausted? Now, exhaustion can happen in any and all areas of your life: physically, emotionally, mentally, or even spiritually. I think another way to explain the exhaustion I’m talking about is to ask you if you have ever felt empty…

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

There are those times when we feel like we’ve given literally everything we have in us. We feel as though we have been completely and utterly cleaned out. God’s Word is telling us that we don’t have to feel that way!

When we are relying on our own strength and abilities, we will eventually reach the end of them. Our power is finite. It has an end, but God’s doesn’t. His strength and power will never run out. He will never fail to renew us and give us what we need to do what He’s called us to do if we are hoping and trusting in Him.

If you have those empty and exhausted moments today, look at Isaiah 40:31 again. Really think about the incredible things God promises us in this verse. Then, trust that He will follow through on His word.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10

I’m going to be very vulnerable with you today. I am one of those people that doesn’t want to ask for help. I will try to change a flat tire completely on my own… in the rain… with only a screwdriver… before I ask for assistance. I will carry something heavy and struggle to open a door before I ask for someone else to help me lift it or open the door.

This issue bleeds very easily into my spiritual life. So often, I will see a sin in my life and instead of giving it to God like I’m supposed to, I will try to take care of it myself. I might be able to get rid of it for a little while, but the root is never taken care of so, inevitably, it comes back.

The author of today’s Power Verse doesn’t ask for assistance from God to become clean, does he? He asks God to do the complete work. He understands that God is the only one that creates complete and permanent change in our lives.

My encouragement to you--and myself, if I’m being honest--is to truly let God have the control. Take it from someone who knows: You aren’t strong enough to take care of it by yourself. Only God has power over sin. Only God can create a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit in you. Trust that He will do as He promises. Give whatever you’re holding on to to Him.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16

We have a tendency to focus on the ends of things, don’t we? Whether it’s something as small as the end of the work day or something as big as the end of a year (Yes, I’m looking at you, 2020…), we are often looking forward to the end of certain things. We even sometimes focus too much on the end of some good things. How many times have you been doing something that you enjoy and have thought about how much you are dreading the end of it?

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

Today’s Power Verse is really the cure for our end-focusing problem. This verse shows us that we don’t have to worry about the end of things. We’ve all heard of eternal life and heaven, but that’s not exactly what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the mundane, everyday things like we’ve already mentioned.

If you are new in Christ, then you don’t have to feel like you’re at the end of your rope or depleted of energy. We might be struggling and drained, but God is renewing our spirit each and every day. He will never leave us to run out.

Tap into the renewing power of God today. Stop trying to do things on your own. Our strength may run out, but His never does. Be reminded that no matter how it appears on the outside, God is renewing us every single day.

"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind." Isaiah 65:17

"The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind."

My heart sighs with peace as I read Isaiah 65:17. Just imagining the good that will come in heaven. We play a song that fully illustrates the hope we have in Heaven. It also reminds us that we all endure pain on the earth, but our attention should be focused above.

“Homesick for Heaven” by Phil Wickham:

"My heart belongs to a country and a King
Of a land I've always known but I've never seen
Some call it paradise or the land of the living
Well, I call it home and I'm homesick for Heaven

"In my Father's house there are many rooms
Enough for everyone, enough for you
I know it takes some faith but today you can know without question
Believe in the power of Jesus' name and you're going to Heaven, oh, oh
Hallelujah, in Jesus' name we're going to Heaven

"No more fear, no more pain
Every tear wiped away
Crying Holy, Holy
Every knee on the floor
Every voice evermore
Crying Holy, Holy, yeah
Oh, I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go home
To see the ones I love, who've gone before
When death is a memory and tears are no more
To hear the angels praise, can you even imagine

"I wanna walk with Moses on streets of gold
And dance with David before Your throne
To thank You face to face for the grace You've given
I wanna see my children run into Your arms
And worship the Savior who wears my scars
There's an ache in my heart
I'm homesick for Heaven"

Look forward to the day when you get to be in your Eternal Home with our Heavenly Father!

"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him." Psalm 40:3

My eldest child used to be scared of the dark. We’ve experienced many exhausting nights. My husband, daughter, and I would not get much sleep at all.

One night, I was so drained from multiple sleepless nights. I was putting my eldest to bed, and I did our usual prayers, a final song, then moved to exit the room. My daughter whispered: “Mommy, I’m still scared.”

I did my best to remain patient and replied: “Honey, pray to Jesus. Sing a song. Talk to Him. I promise you He is right next to you and will help you with that fear.”

Ten minutes later, I heard a very strange sound on the monitor. I could see my daughter moving around but couldn’t hear what she was doing. I placed the monitor up to my ear and could hear her sweet voice:
Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water…

Over and over again she sang “Mary Did You Know.” I couldn’t help it, I started to cry. I was so proud of her for leaning on Jesus to ease her fears. I was grateful she was actually listening to the Christian music I play as often as possible. The songs were within her heart.

Psalm 40:3 came to life for me through my precious daughter who puts her trust in The Lord.
May you trust in the Lord just as her child-like spirit allows her to do so naturally.

"Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him." Colossians 3:10

I love traveling. Being able to see new places and experience new things is one of my favorite things to do. However, I think some of the best memories that I’ve made on trips have been from the actual traveling. Whether it’s a joke my friends and I make on a road trip or something funny that happened in an airport, the journey always seems to be just as much fun as what we actually end up doing at our destination.

“Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.”

I think we can often get discouraged in our spiritual journeys because we sometimes don’t see a lot of fast progress. If I’m being honest, I’m impatient, and I want to know everything about my Creator and become exactly like Him right now.

I heard an analogy once when I was in high school that has always stuck with me:

Some people’s spiritual journeys are like plane rides. You get in the plane and then you take off. You don’t really get to see that much of what’s happening outside of the plane. All the sudden the plane lands and you get off to realize that you’re there in a completely different place. It was a fast and dramatic change.

Other people have a car ride for a spiritual journey. They get in and start the long drive. The scenery changes gradually as you get closer to your destination, but it all kinda looks like what you just saw and what you’ll see next. You finally get to your destination, and you honestly wondered if you ever were going to get there.

Here’s the most beautiful thing, my friend: Both travelers got to their destination. They took totally different paths, but they still got there. They both may have had issues on the way. Maybe there was a flat tire or some turbulence, but they both still arrived.

Let this encourage you today. We aren’t all going to get to know God at the same pace. We’re not all going to look more like Him at the same time. However, if we are putting on the new nature, God will get us to our destination. So, no matter if you’re traveling the road or the sky, enjoy the journey He gives you.

"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5

It is by grace you have been saved.

I have heard this sentence said to me on multiple occasions in the past. Not because of sins of my own, but because of those who have sinned against me or those I love. And every time this sentence has been said to me…my heart softens instantly.

The power of The Word is real. Very real. We read The Word is the sword of the armor of God! (Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17) It’s a weapon to wield and available to all believers. Although The Word is referred to as a sword, something one usually envisions inflicts wounds and death, instead that powerful sword cuts thru to my personal soul, and my entire being obeys. It’s not magical. It’s real. It’s what I believe God intended when He pieced together the Bible.

The Word is life.

Today’s power verse reveals a pattern of thinking we must all consider adopting more often:
1. God possesses great Love for us.
2. We are blessed with His gift of Mercy.
3. We are alive because of Christ.
4. The reminder: it is by grace you have been saved.

As I think of the progression of these four steps my spirit is calmed despite the chaos of this world. To be reminded of God’s love is powerfully comforting. His mercy is humbling to consider. The gift that we are blessed with is life itself because of Jesus’s great sacrifice! And a final reminder that we have been saved because of grace, not because of anything we’ve personally done.

Do you need to be reminded of the meaning of grace?
I sure do. I absolutely do. And it’s no mistake that I’ve heard this reminder from multiple people in my life and it’s today’s Power Verse.

God is intentional, using whatever He can to speak to us and our circumstances. If only we would be willing to listen. The message for me: God gives me grace, and I am called to give others grace too.

Thank you for helping us have a great 2025! We are looking forward to what God is going to do in 2026!!
