Daniel’s Devotion: A song that has been stuck in my mind is the song Holy Forever; itâs one of my favorite worship songs. Whenever I hear it, I canât help but tear up a bit because of the lyrics; just listen to some of theseâŚ
And the angels cry holy
All creation cries holy
You are lifted high, holy
Holy forever
Hearing those lyrics, I envision a mountain of angels, entire galaxies shouting holy, Jesus raised high above, everyone, and everything crying holy. Chris Tomlin references Revelation 4, which references the eternal chorus,
ââHoly, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,â
who was, and is, and is to come.â
And this chorus is throughout the bible; its sung when Jesus is born, its sung in Isaiah 6, and whenever I hear this song; it reminds me of what was, what is, and is to come. (cue song)
Gabriella’s Devotion: When the Bible that Matt Williams kept in the back of his car was stolen, he feared heâd never see it again, and the precious photos he kept tucked in its case would be lost. So He offered a short prayer: âLord, it breaks my heart. Iâve got a lot of stuff in there that means a lot to me, and Iâd like to get it back. But not my will but yours, like you always say.â Just days later, Williams was stunned to learn via social media that his Bible was found in a stolen car. It had been placed next to a Bible the original car owner kept on her passenger seat. Being reunited with his prized possession seemed impossible, but God answered Williamsâ prayer.
In 2 Kings 6:1-7, we read about the prophet Elisha facing a seemingly impossible situation. He and a group of prophets were by the Jordan River getting wood to build a larger meeting place. As one of the prophets cut down a tree, âthe iron axe-head fell into the water. âOh no, my lord!â he cried out. âIt was borrowed!ââ (v. 5). The distressed prophet showed the prophet Elisha where it fell. âElisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron floatâ (v. 6). The prophet was miraculously reunited with the valuable lost item.
No care or concern is too small to bring before God in prayer. We can pray and ask God for help in any circumstance, and He can answer our prayers in unexpected ways

Tune in Tomorrow for Praise Thursday with Daniel and Gabriella!
On this week’s Praise Thursday, we gave devotionals and talked about upcoming events! Plus, in the second hour, we played Name That Tune. Here’s what we talked about:
Daniel’s Devotion: Our lives change all the time; we make decisions that alter who we are daily. Sometimes the world changes as well. With the election having just happened, there will be changes that will happen, for better or for worse, but let me tell you someone who never changes, who will always be the same, today, tomorrow, a month, a week, a year, a decade, a century, a millennium: God is Immutable, which means he never changes.
âFor I the LORD do not change;â Malachi 3:6
âOf old you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
but you are the same, and your years have no end.â – Psalm 102:25-27
âJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.â – Hebrews 13:8
So despite the fact that the world changes, your life will change, you will change; instead of relying on things that will change and will let you down, instead rely on the one who never changes and will never let you down. Rely on God.
Gabriella’s Devotion: But the truth is, those of us who knew and loved him lost so much with Andyâs passingâa beautiful life lived for Jesusâand heâs greatly missed. What do we have left that gives us hope? Ephesians 1 speaks of the spiritual blessings Andy and other believers have in Jesus: Weâre âblameless in his sightâ (v. 4), âpredestined . . . for adoption to sonshipâ (v. 5), â[redeemed] through his bloodâ (v. 7), and â[forgiven] of sins [by] Godâs graceâ (v. 7). âThe promised Holy Spiritâ lives in us and guarantees âour inheritanceâ with Him in the life to come (vv. 13-14).
Those who love Jesus have His gift of eternal salvation. Click HERE to read more!

On this week’s Who Knew Wednesday, we talked about candy and did our giveaway for the mvnu play. Plus, we did our Who Am I Trivia! Here’s what we talked about:
Who Knew Fact: National Candy Day! In the late 13th century, Middle English first began using the word candy. Borrowed from the Old French cucre candi, it is derived in turn from Persian Qand and Qandi, cane sugar.
People use the term candy as a broad category. We treat candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, gumdrops, marshmallows and much more as candy. However, sugar was not always readily available. So instead, people made the first candies from honey.
Who Knew Fact: National Stress Awareness Day! Everyone has stress. Some stress is good for us. It helps us to respond to changes in life. Stress is our body’s way of protecting itself from harm. However, too much stress causes harm to our health and relationships.
On this week’s Who Knew Wednesday, we shared facts about chocolate and stuffed animals! Plus, we did our Who Am I in the second hour. Here’s what we talked about:
Who Knew: National Chocolate day!
Who Knew Fact Check: Snickers is the most popular chocolate company?! The world’s most popular and best-selling chocolate bar brand, generating roughly $3.5 billion in annual global sales and selling over 10 billion bars per year.

On this week’s Monday Motivation, we shared motivation about forgiveness and eternity. Plus, we played our Family Feud question for Mystery Monday! Here’s what we talked about:
Joe’s Motivation:Luke 15:1-7 (NIV): Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, âThis man welcomes sinners and eats with them.â Then Jesus told them this parable: âSuppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesnât he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, âRejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.â I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Gabriella’s Motivation: Itâs dangerous to think that we always see whatâs trueâthat we possess internal clarity about our lives. However, we suffer from a deadly confusion and repeatedly demonstrate that even our best wisdomâleft to itselfâeventually yields misery. âThere is a way that appears to be right,â Proverbs says, âbut in the end it leads to deathâ (16:25). We think we see whatâs real, but too often weâre confused. Even our keenest insight is riddled with misperceptions. Even our clearest vision is still cloudy, imperfect, and often ruinous.
Thatâs why we need Godâs wisdom (vv. 20-21). We need Him to illuminate the truth and guide us into whatâs real. We need Him to lead us out of our deadly confusion and into wholeness and life.
