When we trace the story of Joshua’s life, we come to learn that the man who would lead Israel into the Promised Land would see countless challenges and victories that God led His people through during their time in the wilderness. Joshua longed to serve, as we see in his actions in the Biblical story. Putting God first was his priority, and his example shows that we, too, can be faithful. Be inspired to put God first and serve Him through whatever He’s called you too, even if it’s in your faithful giving. #GodFirst

Moses wasn’t your average Israelite. In fact, he grew up between two worlds: raised by his birth mother to be one day handed back to the daughter of pharaoh, he was able to see two sides of of two cultured joined together through slavery. His own people losing strength day by day, and the Egyptian empire grew minute by minute. Moses had dreams to serve his people and eventually God called him to revive those dreams and finally aid in saving God’s people. It required Moses to give up a lot, and we’re called to do so too if we want to see the dreams of serving God met in stellar brilliance. Putting God first means letting go of our own abilities. Let us learn how to believe in God’s abilities and receive divine strength for the purpose of our love towards others in this devotional. #GodFirst

Abraham’s story isn’t a linear progression of faithfulness. But it is a relatable story that shows us today how we can truly put God first. When it comes to how we hear and respond to God’s promises, the life of Abraham teaches us that there are lessons all along the way. There are moments when we are disappointed, but God is faithful to take us where we are and lead us through. How can we faithfully give back to God in our lives? Learn more in this devotional thought on how Abraham learned to put God first #GodFirst

"The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals." -Melody Beattie It's been two weeks since we started 2021, and our goals are being affected. Many significant things have happened recently. Here are updates from the Adventist community: Seventh-day Adventist Church ExCom Votes to Delay GC Session A Second Time Given the rising challenges from the COVID-19 crisis, the global Seventh-day Adventist Church Executive Committee members have voted to postpone the denomination's quinquennial session in a virtual meeting last January 12. This recommendation came from a consensus approach from world division officers, health professionals, Adventist Risk Management, the Office of General Counsel, and other Adventist Church leaders. The motion passed with a vote of 185-9. NAD Leadership Reacts to the Alarming U.S. Capitol Events In response to the violent protest in Washington D.C. recently, the North American Division leadership issued a hope-filled and comforting statement for deeply concerned people. The Church leadership affirms the people's right to protest respectfully. But it strongly condemns reprehensible actions that show a clear disrespect for the safety of others, the democracy institution, and the government transition's diplomatic and orderly process. NAD leadership also calls for prayerful reflection on Philippians 4:7 and united prayer for our communities and leaders, and that God's Spirit will prevail. Revival for a Mission to Interview IAD President and His Daughter About Kidnap Ordeal Tune in for another special episode of Revival for a Mission with Pastor Ted Wilson and Pastor Sam Neves.
