We need to redeem the time as the passage in Ephesians 5 states BECAUSE the days are evil. It is vital as believers that we learn to discern. We need to acquire wisdom so we can walk in truth. Wisdom is word based and God given. We learn it from the word of God and ultimately from the God who gave us the Word. My brother Norman and I are going to be setting up a ministry and under this ministry umbrella we will establish a YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgGuqrDZ3ku7C78qrb4eOyQ Tik-Tok short form video here tiktok.com/@genekissinger_rttbros https://linktr.ee/rttbros

    Seeing What's Already There #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    Seeing What's Already There #RTTBROS #Nightlight "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." — Psalm 118:24 You know, I had a friend tell me once that he was waiting to be happy. Waiting for the promotion. Waiting until the kids were grown. Waiting until life finally slowed down enough for him to enjoy it. I understood exactly what he meant, because I had been waiting in that same line for a long time myself. Too soon old and too late smart, as they say. There's a story told about the great hymn writer Fanny Crosby that has always stayed with me. Now here was a woman who went blind at six weeks old because of a doctor's mistake. She had every reason in the world to feel robbed, to feel like life had shortchanged her. But by the time she was in her eighties, she had written over nine thousand hymns, and she once said that she was actually grateful for her blindness, because she believed the first face she would ever see would be the face of Jesus. Nine thousand songs of praise from a woman the world thought had every reason to complain. That is a woman who knew how to pay attention to what God had already given her. And that is really the heart of what I want to share with you tonight. A lot of us are living in the middle of a blessing and calling it ordinary. The quiet morning. The friend who checked in on you. The body that got you out of bed this morning. The lesson you survived that you thought was going to break you. All of it, every last bit of it, is grace. We just scroll right past it. The Psalmist didn't say, "This will be the day the LORD will make, once things get better." He said, *"This is the day."* Right now. The one you're in. The one that feels routine and unremarkable. That is the day the LORD has made, and He is saying rejoice in it. It's not fake positivity. It's not pretending hard things aren't hard. It's honest, clear-eyed attention, trained on the goodness that is already present in your life right now. Two people can walk through the same day. One sees grace everywhere. The other sees only what's missing. The difference isn't their circumstances. It's their focus. So tonight, before you put your head on that pillow, I want to challenge you to name three things, just three, that God gave you today that you didn't deserve and didn't earn. Start there. That is where gratitude grows, and where joy finds its roots. Let's pray: Father, forgive us for rushing past the gifts You place in our ordinary days. Teach us to see with grateful eyes, to notice Your hand in the small and the quiet. Help us to rejoice in this day, the one You made, the one You gave us. In Jesus' name, Amen. #Faith #Gratitude #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #TrustGod #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #Nightlight Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe, it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

    The Giant's Bed #Trust #Nightlight #RTTBROS #provision #Victory

    Don't Fear the Giant's Bed #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Do not fear them, for the LORD your God, he shall fight for you." — Deuteronomy 3:22 You know, there are names in the Bible that most of us skip right over. We see them in the text and our eyes sort of glaze and we keep moving. Og, king of Bashan, is one of those names. But here's the thing, nothing in Scripture is filler. The Holy Spirit doesn't waste words. So let me tell you about Og. He was a giant. The Bible tells us his iron bed was nine cubits long, that's somewhere around thirteen or fourteen feet. Scripture actually stops to describe the man's bed. Now why would God put that in there? I believe it's because Og represented something massive, something ancient, something that looked absolutely undefeatable to the people standing in front of him. He ruled over sixty fortified cities with high walls and iron gates, and he stood between Israel and the land God had promised them. That's a lot of intimidation packed into one king. But here's where the story gets good. The text says simply, "So the LORD our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan." It doesn't say Israel outfought him or outwitted him. It says God delivered him. The giant fell because God had already decided the outcome. And then watch what happened next. The territory of that giant, those sixty fortified cities, became Israel's inheritance. The land of intimidation became the land of promise. I'm too soon old and too late smart, but I've lived long enough to know that most of us are facing our own version of Og right now. Maybe it's a financial situation that looks like an iron bed, too big to move. Maybe it's a health report. Maybe it's a spiritual battle that feels entrenched and permanent. Something towering over you that seems like it will never fall. Can I remind you tonight that the giants of your life are remnants? Loud, yes. Intimidating, absolutely. But remnants of a dying opposition to the purposes of God. And our God still delivers giants into the hands of His people. Don't measure the promise by the size of the opposition. Measure the opposition by the size of your God. Let's pray: Father, tonight we look at things that feel too big, too fortified, too entrenched. And we choose to remember Og. You delivered him. You turned his territory into testimony. Do it again, Lord, in our lives. Fight for us, as only You can. In Jesus' name, Amen. #Faith #Courage #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #TrustGod #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #Nightlight Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe, it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

    Building the Plane While You're Flying It #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    Building the Plane While You're Flying It #RTTBROS #Nightlight "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way." — Psalm 37:23 I heard a phrase recently that stopped me cold. Someone said, "You can't build the plane while you're flying it," and I thought, well, that's exactly how most of us are living our lives, isn't it? We're up at 30,000 feet, engine roaring, and we're still looking for the instruction manual. Now here's the thing. Socrates, that old Greek philosopher, said something that's stuck with people for centuries: "The unexamined life is not worth living." And I think he was onto something, even if he didn't have the whole picture. Because the Bible takes that idea and gives it wings, if you'll pardon the pun. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." And Solomon adds in Proverbs 16:9, "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps." Right there you've got both halves of the equation. We plan, and God directs. We build what we can on the ground before takeoff, and then we trust the Lord to handle the turbulence we never saw coming. Think about Nehemiah for a moment. Before he ever laid one stone on that broken wall in Jerusalem, he spent time in prayer, he assessed the damage quietly in the night, he counted the cost, and he prepared his request for the king. That man did his homework. But when opposition came, and it came hard and fast, he didn't freeze up because he had already committed his work to God. He just kept building. I've been too soon old and too late smart about this in my own life. I used to think that trusting God meant you just sort of wandered through life with a smile and waited for lightning to strike. But that's not faith, that's just being unprepared and calling it spiritual. Real biblical faith does the planning it can do, lays it all before the Lord, and then holds the plan loosely enough that God can redirect without it feeling like a disaster. Here's what I've come to believe: God doesn't ask us to check our brains at the door. He asks us to use them, and then surrender the outcome. You plan the wedding, but you trust God with the marriage. You prepare for the job interview, but you trust God with the outcome. You raise your children with everything you have, but you trust God with who they become. The plane needs to be built before it flies. Do your part on the ground. But once you're airborne, friend, the Lord is your co-pilot, and He's never lost a passenger yet. Let's pray: Father, give us the wisdom to plan well and the faith to trust You with what we cannot control. Help us to be diligent with the things in our hands and surrendered about the things that are only in Yours.

    God's Four-Handed Provision #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    God's Four-Handed Provision #RTTBROS #Nightlight "And my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:19 You know, I've been thinking about something that keeps coming up when I talk with folks who are worried about their finances, their future, their needs. We live in uncertain times, and it's easy to look at our bank accounts or our circumstances and wonder if God's really going to come through. But here's what I've learned, and I'm too soon old and too late smart on this one: God has always been in the providing business, and He uses four different hands to meet our needs. Man's Hand Let me take you back to the book of Exodus for a minute. The children of Israel are about to leave Egypt after 400 years of slavery. Now, you'd think they'd be leaving with nothing but the clothes on their backs, right? But look what happens. God moves the hearts of the Egyptians, and they give the Israelites gold, silver, and clothing. The Bible says they "spoiled the Egyptians" (Exodus 12:36). That's provision through man's hand. Later, Nehemiah needed resources to rebuild Jerusalem's walls, and God moved the heart of King Cyrus to provide everything he needed. Sometimes God provides through the generosity of others, even when we least expect it. God's Hand But then there are times when man's hand isn't enough, when no human source can meet the need. That's when God provides directly from His hand. Think about those same Israelites wandering in the wilderness. Every morning, manna covered the ground like dew. Water flowed from a rock. God Himself provided supernaturally what no human could give. Now, we don't live on miracles day to day, but we need to remember they happen in the lives of believers when we need them most. Your Hand Then comes the third way, and this is where most of us live most of the time. God provides by your hands. When the Israelites finally crossed into the Promised Land, the manna stopped. They had to plant crops, tend flocks, work the land. The psalmist writes, "thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee" (Psalm 128:2). God blesses the work of our hands. He doesn't call us to sit around waiting for miracles when He's given us the ability to work. Your Enemy's Hand But here's the one that really gets me, the fourth way God provides that we almost never think about. God provides by our enemies' hands. When Caleb was looking at the giants in the land, do you remember what he said? Those giants would be "bread for us" (Numbers 14:9). What looked like an obstacle was actually provision. Your greatest challenge might just be God's way of bringing you your greatest blessing. So when you're worried about how God's going to provide, remember He's got four hands working on your behalf. Sometimes it's through people's generosity. Sometimes it's a flat-out miracle. Sometimes it's through honest work. And sometimes, that very thing you think is going to destroy you is actually going to feed you. Let's pray: Father, help us trust that You know how to provide for Your children. Whether it's through man's hand, Your hand, our hands, or even through our enemies, we know You will supply all our needs. Give us eyes to see Your provision in every circumstance. In Jesus' name, Amen. #Faith #GodsProvision #Trust #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #Nightlight Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

    At The Cross #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    At the Cross: The Amazing Exchange "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." — Romans 5:8 You know, there's a hymn that's been sung in churches for over a hundred and fifty years now, and every time I hear it, I find myself stopped in my tracks by one particular verse. The hymn is "At the Cross," written by Isaac Watts way back in 1707, and the verse goes like this: "Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree!" When Isaac Watts wrote those words, he was wrestling with a question that should stop all of us dead in our tracks: Why would Jesus do that for me? Think about it. The Creator of the universe, hanging on a cross. And for what? For crimes that I have done. My sins "Big" and "Small" (no such thing as small really) the lies I've told. The times I've chosen my way over His. I'm too soon old and too late smart on this, but one thing I've learned is that we have a tendency to minimize our own sin while we maximize everyone else's. But when we look at that cross, we have to face the truth: it took the death of God's own Son to pay for those "slip-ups." But here's where it gets really amazing. That verse doesn't stop at the crime. It goes on: "Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree!" The cross isn't just about what we've done, it's about what He's done for us. When Jesus hung on that cross, He wasn't dying for some abstract concept. He was thinking about you. About me. And He didn't do it because we deserved it. He did it because that's who He is. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:21, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." That's the amazing exchange. He took our sin and gave us His righteousness. I remember talking to a man once who told me he just couldn't accept that God would forgive him. He'd made too many mistakes. And I asked him, "Do you think your sin is bigger than the cross?" The cross says that no matter what crimes you and I have done, His grace is enough. His love is beyond degree. It's a love that looked at us in all our mess and said, "I'll die for that one." History is just HIS story, and the cross is the central chapter. It's where your sin and His grace came face to face, and grace won. Let's pray: Father, we stand amazed at the cross. Thank You that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Help us never to take for granted the price that was paid.
