Today, 1 we reach out with hybrid content – no pure AI in any section, all collab between AI and Zeb’s thoughts. Pray for us.
2. we rest in the truth that when our reach falls short, Jesus reaches out and touches every faithful and every wandering heart.
Opening Worship Lyrics by Zeb of Virginia Beach Church
from his song “hallelujah the kingdom come”
God is in in the jungle God is by the sea
God is in the faces of the people in the town
passing by me
God is in the city God is in the slums
God is in the crowded streets
and we saw the kingdom come
God is in each stranger God is everywhere
God is in the White House
yes even found Him there
chorus:
hallelujah the kingdom come
hallelujah the kingdom come
praise God the Father, The Holy Spirit And The Son
hallelujah the kingdom come
God is in the subway God is in the market place
God is there when we’re not looking
you will meet Him face to face
God is in the forgotten God is in the forlorn
i met God in my own heart
and by God’s grace i was reborn
i met God in the desert
i met those who don’t know His name
i met The God in the streets of Jerusalem
and I stood washed in the holy rain
God is at the Apollo God is in the Argentine
God is in every metropolis and
hamlet in between
God is in the waiting God is always there
God is in perfect harmony of
peace, love and joy from everywhere
God is in the healing waters God is where the rivers flow
God is there when we cry “Jesus!”
whose woods these are i think i know
John 15:5 — “Apart from me you can do nothing.”
Forget about such a task as reaching out to the world with love and healing – even one’s own heart is eclipsed, cold as a Winter stone and isolated as a quarantined fish without Jesus.
Don’t believe it. That’s fine. He doesn’t ask for you to believe as a price of Gaining entry into The Kingdom. Just come as you are and “turn the door into ajar” just ever so slightly. In the right moment, at the right time He will bust it wide open and transformation to a new creature begins. You might notice no more need to stand guard against the Truth Of God’s Word. If so then you will be on your way home.
2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Isaiah 40:11 — “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.”
Matthew 11:28 — “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” (heed the context of this quote – it doesn’t guarantee super powers but endurance in Christ)
Psalm 138:7 — “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.”
Colossians 3:23-24 — “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
Devotional
You were never meant to hold the world alone. When your arms feel too short to reach the hurting, the lost, or the broken, that is not failure—it is an invitation. Jesus does not ask you to carry what only He can hold. He asks you to stay close, to let His strength flow through your surrender. In your limitation, His power finds room to work. Offer what you have: a prayer, a listening ear, a moment of kindness. He multiplies the small. Rest in this truth: your short arms, joined to His endless embrace, are enough. The world does not need your perfection. It needs your availability. When you abide in Christ, your small yes becomes part of His great redemption.
Prayer
Lord, I have for so long wanted to change the world. just like the man on the flimsy footbridge trying to save his dog from the alligator but who can’t even keep his own balance. when I feel too small to make a difference, remind me that Your power is perfected in my weakness. Help me to abide in You, to offer what I have, and to trust that You are already at work where I cannot reach and without you i can’t rescue my dog because i can’t stand up straight. Let my surrender be my strength. Teach me to rest in Your arms so I can point others to the One who never grows tired. Amen.
