A quick-thinking corgi saved the day after his owner’s fall. The dog somehow knew exactly what to do after his owner had a nasty fall. Watch the short video to hear about the canine’s heroic actions during a scary, precarious situation.

It’s been said many times before that dogs are man’s best friend. Canines are some of Earth's most loving, loyal and dependable creatures. All of that is true. However, it is so much more than simply being a friend.

Animals are so much more intelligent than most people would like to admit. These cute, furry, four-legged creatures never cease to amaze with their intelligence. In times of crisis, many animals know what to do and act, helping to deliver lifesaving medical attention in some cases. 

That is precisely the case regarding Waldo, the sweetest, cutest little hero. In a clip posted on YouTube, Waldo’s owner recalls how the pup responded during a terrifying incident on a walk, which was part of their morning routine. However, what happened next was anything but routine.

Jess says that she and Waldo were out on their morning walk when she fell down a hill. She describes the horrible situation she was in at the time.

“And I was going down a hill,” she said. “My body went, and my right leg didn’t, and I heard and felt this massive crack. I knew instantly something was wrong. When I looked at my foot, it was very apparent that I needed an ambulance right away.”

She added that her “body was pointing north, and my foot was pointing east.”

That’s when Waldo kissed Jess on the cheek and ran off to find help. Soon after, Jess said that she could see Waldo tugging and pulling on a stranger’s pant leg; he was trying to guide them to Jess.

Waldo’s heroics weren’t done yet. He also ran off and found Jess’s landlord. Because of the cute corgi’s quick-thinking and heroic actions, Jess received the emergency medical attention that she so desperately needed.

Not only is Waldo adorable, but he’s a hero!

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A brave 84-year-old man defended himself during an attempted robbery with a pair of jeans. The elderly gentleman refused to let the criminal do anything to or take anything from him. Watch the amazing clip as the man battled against someone looking to harm him.

Sin has utterly destroyed anything and everything it contacts. Nothing is ever made better after encountering sin; things, including our world, only worsen. As a result, we live in a lost and broken world where the impact and influence of sin are, unfortunately, easily visible all around us.

One of the places where sin is most evident is on the news, where crime, death and destruction are documented daily. Flip to any television news broadcast, and within minutes, you’re bound to see a story where a horrible crime was perpetrated against innocent bystanders. Those people just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one older adult came face-to-face with a criminal, someone attempting to rob him or possibly planning to do worse. However, instead of becoming a victim, the man fought back, using the only thing in his possession at the time, a pair of jeans, to ward off the attacker.

The situation, which appears to take place in a laundry mat, begins with the man trying to fold his clothes. Moments into the clip, a young man dressed in black from head to toe rushes into the establishment and quickly approaches the elderly gentleman.

The criminal lunges at and reaches for the man’s back pocket, likely hoping to find a wallet full of cash. But the 84-year-old was not having it. He immediately turned around and started fighting back, and even landed a few punches to the criminal’s face while holding a pair of jeans.

The criminal momentarily leaves but then returns and again approaches the older man. The criminal in black clothing demands his wallet, but his evil efforts are thwarted as his targeted victim refuses to comply.

Romans 12:21 “Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.”

A young woman shared some profound advice that is a helpful reminder whenever navigating one of life’s many storms. Her words are about something simple but powerful that we all need to remember to do in times of crisis. Watch the video to hear what she has to say about enduring a difficulty, and the one thing we can all do that is likely to make a big difference.

We live in a hectic, chaotic world. People are constantly moving, going from this appointment to that meeting to this practice. It may seem that stopping and catching your breath is entirely out of the question because we’re in such a time crunch.

Now, in addition to all that chaos, add smartphones, which makes things like social media within our grasp 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Those apps and platforms are likely to do nothing but lead to even more anxiety and pressure. Living in such a frenzied, hurried state does not give your mind and body much time to relax and recuperate.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Taylor Alesia reminds everyone about the importance of taking and finding rest. She calls it one of the best weapons Christians have when dealing with and navigating storms and valleys.

“So many Christians minimize the weight of this, and it’s something that we need to do weekly, guys,” she said. “Whether you’re in a storm or not, this can’t be underestimated, and it’s the power of rest.”

She adds that finding rest may look different for some people. Perhaps it’s about getting completely away from social media for 24 hours or avoiding people for a time.

Her advice is spot-on. The Lord knew and understood the power and necessity of rest, so He established the Sabbath – one day a week on which we are to rest, worship and concentrate on God.

According to her YouTube page, Taylor aims to use her “platform only for the glory of God.” She adds that she hopes her channel will “encourage and build up the next generation to be bold for Jesus.”

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

One young man, a heroic teen, saved an opposing player’s life during a basketball game and is giving Gold the glory. Without even thinking about it, the young man immediately went to work using his skills and know-how to save another teenager’s life. Watch the video to hear about the heroic moment and see their moving reunion.

Life is precious and incredibly fragile. It’s a gift from the good Lord above that must be cherished and handled with the utmost care. None of us are promised tomorrow, the next hour, minute or second. A loved one could be here one moment and gone the next.

A short but powerful clip posted on YouTube reminds us just how precious life truly is. During a high school basketball game in Oklahoma, 16-year-old Randy Vitales, right after scoring a lay-up, a mere three minutes into the game, collapsed and fell to the floor. He had gone into cardiac arrest. Despite the frightening scene, God had placed the right person in the right place at the right time.

Magnus Miller, a member of the opposing team, immediately stopped and got to work, trying to save Randy’s life. According to the video, Magnus is a trained lifeguard who started using his life-saving skills and knowledge.

“I didn’t have any, like, second thoughts,” he said. “I just jumped right in, took control.”

The 18-year-old hero and Randy reunited in a hospital room. It was an emotional moment. Tears were shed, and the two shared a loving embrace.

“There’s no way you were going to die on that court; I wasn’t going to let you,” Magnus told Randy before giving him a big hug.

Despite his heroic, literal life-saving actions, Magnus does not take the credit. Instead, he gives all the glory to God.

“It’s pretty surreal,” Magnus said. “It’s weird, like, hearing someone say that, ‘You saved his life.’ But honestly, it wasn’t me. It was really God just being there for me and being there for him. Obviously, I didn’t go there to play basketball that day.”

Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

A dog knew to bring its sick pup to a vet clinic so it could receive lifesaving medical attention. The mother clearly understood that her baby was ill and needed help immediately. Watch the sweet, heartwarming video of the dog carrying her sick baby to the vet clinic.

Animals are unique creatures placed on Earth by the good Lord. Those cute, furry, four-legged critters are part of His creation. They are all obviously important and serve a purpose. Why else would He have put them on Earth?

Since God created animals, He gave them a certain level of intelligence and know-how. Quite often, the amount of intelligence that animals possess is surprising. Many people would like to think that animals are unintelligent and incapable of understanding and grasping many things. 
However, an endless string of YouTube videos would prove that thought and theory incorrect.

One video posted on social media shows a canine bringing her sick pup to the veterinary clinic for medical attention. The animal, who was in Turkey, is seen carrying what appears to be a lifeless dog in its mouth.

At first glance, the vet, who responded to the concerned mother, thought the puppy was dead. However, that was not the case, as the veterinarian did detect a light heartbeat. The video shows two men attending to the puppy, working to save the animal’s life.

The clip also shows the mother’s concern for her sick baby. A couple of times throughout, the mom can be seen walking up near the table where the sick puppy is lying.

One outlet reports that the animal was warmed up and was later reunited with its mother.
What an absolutely extraordinary, heartwarming act of love! 

Animals are much more intelligent than most people would like to believe.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

It was one of those days when the sky stretched wide, a canopy to a beautiful day in the great outdoors. It is the kind of day where you half expect God to leave fingerprints in the clouds. And maybe He did, right there on the tangled fence as a kindhearted man frees a struggling kangaroo caught in a fence. 

The man saw her from a distance at first. Her legs thrashed against the wire, her eyes wide with a mix of terror and exhaustion. Kangaroos are strong–wildly strong. Everyone knows their kicks can shatter bones, their strength an untamed force of nature. But there she was, caught in a fenceline she couldn’t escape. 

And isn’t that so much of life? We get tangled in things we never saw coming, caught up in snares we didn’t even know were set. 

The man wearing a bright orange jacket stepped closer to the wild animal and knew he needed to help. With a pair of wire cutters in hand, he knew the risk he was about to take but the risk outweighed the potential tragedy for this wild creature. He knew one wrong move, one startled kick from her could have a terrible outcome for himself. But something inside him said this was his moment to show kindness, choose courage, and to be God’s hands in this moment. 

He knelt slowly, likely speaking to her in a calm voice as he stroked her fur and went to work cutting the wires one by one. With each clip of the wire, he worked methodically, careful not to startle her. Her breathing was heavy, her body trembling. First, one leg, then the other. Then came the difficulty of getting her head untangled as well. The last wire fell away, and for a moment, she didn’t move. She lay there dazed and confused before she finally understood she was truly free. 

That kangaroo leaping into freedom is a reminder that no act of kindness is ever wasted. When we step into the small, sacred moments, we reflect the heart of a God who frees the captives and sets the broken world right again.

Colossians 3:12 "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience."

Sometimes get way off track in our Christian journey … (250B) #toughquestionsforgod #DailyDevotional #Jesus #Christianity

In an interview with Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson discussed Jesus, forgiveness, and mercy. The award-winning actor and filmmaker also talked about his views on the afterlife and why he is a person of faith with the popular podcast host.

Human beings are flawed, imperfect and fallen creatures. The Bible, in Romans, makes our fallen, sinful nature completely clear when it says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” We’re all sinners and in need of forgiveness, grace and mercy.

However, it’s because of those flaws, stumbles and imperfections that Mel is a believer and a person of faith. In a clip posted on YouTube, he tells Joe that when confronting his problems and imperfections, he came to the point where he understood he was unable to change himself.

“And I mean, I don’t think it’s any secret that I am flawed in the fact that I am by nature born an alcoholic, right?” he said. “I did drugs, I did alcohol and there was nothing that could stop me from doing that. Nothing. So, I was really kind of on, you’re on a downhill run. So, I regard the fact that I was able to appeal to something greater than myself to help me and actually stop me from doing that. I think that’s a miracle.”

Later in the clip, Mel mentions what he regards as the best thing about being a Christian and a person of faith: human beings do not have to continue living in sin.

“And the beauty of believing is that, even for your transgressions, you can be forgiven, and you can be redeemed,” he said.

Before the clip ends, Mel adds that Jesus Christ came to Earth and showed everyone how to obtain forgiveness and eternal life.

“I believe that God sent His Son down to tell us, ‘OK, I’m going to ransom you people from your fallen nature, and I’ll give you a roadmap on how to do it,’” he said.

Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.”

A brave man heroically waded into icy water to rescue a freezing and frightened pup. The cold temperatures and the fast-moving water did not stop this man from saving a helpless animal from danger. Watch the video to see the man’s stunning rescue of the scared, furry, four-legged creature.

Animals are unique and precious beings who were put on Earth by God, the Creator of the universe. Like human beings, animals are part of His creation. So, sometimes, that can and does mean looking out for and protecting animals whenever they get themselves in precarious situations.

In a clip posted on social media, one man rescues an animal that had gotten itself in a terrible, frightening position. The short 47-second clip begins with the man, having already spotted the pup clinging to life on a piece of ice, as he approaches the edge of the water.

As he continues to get closer to the water, the snow eventually gives away, and he falls into the water. Instead of returning to land and safety, the man continues out into the water. As he does, he lets out several loud sighs, indicating that the water is beyond cold.

Despite the cold water, the hero in the video persists and reaches the scared pup struggling to keep its head above water. Once the man has secured the animal, he carries it to the other side of the water, where the canine immediately has a blanket wrapped around it.

In the video’s caption, the woman who posted the animal rescue was beyond grateful for the man’s heroic action.

“This man will forever be my Hero!” she writes. “Never told a stranger I love him so many times before. To some this may just be a man rescuing a dog, but to me, it’s a man rescuing an extension of my soul! The video of the incredible human who saved my girl!”

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

A woman credits having faith in God and being an obedient, faithful tither with her business’s miraculous turnaround. At one point, her business was in deep financial trouble, but things quickly changed, and the business began to prosper. Watch the video to hear this young woman’s story of how her faith in the Lord helped her business’s financial troubles.

Running a business is difficult, especially when it’s a small, family-owned business. The United States of America is the land of opportunity, where everyone has the chance to do as they please. That means people are free to open their own business.

However, competition can be and is fierce, depending on the market and the specific field. All businesses have to fight to survive. Sadly, many small businesses struggle and do not make it very long. Closing up shop for good was what one woman nearly had to do with her family-owned business, but things quickly turned around.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Nayomie talked about her father, the business he started and the terrific example of faith and trust in the Lord he set for her.

“I learned that he did everything through faith,” she said. “And I have seen that man pray endlessly, and the doors open.”

She added that her father showed her how important it is to be a faithful and obedient tither.

“Sometimes we didn’t have enough to pay the rent, but he’d rather tithe than pay the rent,” she said. “And you would miraculously see a busy day that would cover the rent and extra.”

Eventually, Nayomie took over the family business as the new owner and soon ran into trouble. COVID put a significant financial strain on the business, resulting in thousands of dollars in debt. She was unsure of the future and seriously considered shutting the business down.

But Nayomie stayed faithful and trusted in God. She prayed earnestly for His help and guidance and continued tithing even during this precarious period when money was scarce.

Then, God started to work, and the results were more than anything she could have imagined. She received a $10,000 grant for the business, and the business went viral on social media.

“You know, one moment, we’re, like, closing down,” she said. “The next moment, we’re going viral, and we have a line that is out the door and curls through the block. And our revenue went up by 80 percent.”

The young woman knows who and what is responsible for the business thriving.

“The key to my success is definitely our faith in God and our obedience to tithing,” she said. “I don’t think anything would be possible if we weren’t tithers and givers.”

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.”

Afraid of sharing your faith? God said … (251B)

A woman addicted to drugs, contemplating suicide and facing jail time finds hope and life in Jesus Christ. She shared her powerful testimony about Christ’s life-changing and life-giving love, forgiveness and grace. Watch this video to hear how Christ’s love and mercy saved and completely turned a woman’s life around.

The world is a lost, cruel and broken place that is inhabited by many hurt and struggling people. Those individuals are searching for something, anything, to make the heartache and pain cease. Sadly, for many people, the hurt and pain may get so bad that they see no other alternative than suicide, taking their own lives.

In a video posted on YouTube, Cristina Baker explains how she was in such a situation. She, who was trying to “numb and escape the pain” of her past, started using “every kind of drug I could,” she said. She continued using drugs, and then, one evening, she was pulled over by a police officer. Cristina had a large amount of drugs in her vehicle at the time of the traffic stop. She was arrested.

After posting bail and getting out of jail, this did not solve Cristina’s problem. She was still dealing with incredible pain and hurt from her past, so she made plans to take her own life. But God had other plans for Cristina.

"So, I’m sitting at my desk, and at the very moment I'm contemplating taking my life, this man taps me on the shoulder and says to me, ‘I have a word from the Lord for you,’” she said. “How could he have known what I was just contemplating in that moment?”

Cristina adds that this mysterious messenger starts reading from the book of Jeremiah, specifically Jeremiah 29:11. After reading that verse, which mentions God’s plans for our lives, to give us hope and a future, he asked her a critical question. Did she want to accept Christ as her personal Lord and Savior? She did and felt instantaneous relief and comfort.

“The boulders I had been carrying around for 20-plus years of my life, it was like somebody came and picked it up off of my shoulders,” she said. “The chains were broken instantly.”

Even though Cristina had turned her life over to Christ, going to jail was still a real possibility for her. However, God had another miracle in store.

After she spoke to the district attorney, Cristina’s lawyer received a yellow piece of paper. It was an order of dismissal. The charges had been dropped, and she was free to go.

“I was guilty,” she said. “Everything that happened that night I was guilty of, but yet He came in and wiped it clean and I walked as a free woman, and that’s what the cross has done for you and I. We, through the cross and the blood of Jesus and the power of His blood, have been forgiven of all our sins – past, present and future.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

One grandmother shared her surprising and uplifting outlook in the face of loss. Her words and thoughts are a dramatic change from what most people would say and think after they have just experienced such a massive loss. Watch the video to hear the woman’s words and outlook.

This world has been wrecked and ruined by sin. Because of what sin has brought about, we live in an utterly broken and lost place. Of course, this means we will face trials and difficulties. Life is not easy, and we were never promised that it would be. No one will be able to escape hardships. They have a way of finding everyone at one time or another.

While avoiding trying and adverse situations is impossible, how we respond to them is completely and entirely up to us. How we react and bounce back from unfortunate circumstances is arguably the most important part of the ordeal. Our attitude and actions in those difficulties can serve as a witness to others. People are always watching and will see if our attitudes and actions match our words.

In a clip posted on social media, a woman who had just lost everything in a wildfire had quite an unexpected reaction. Instead of being down and broken up about what she had lost, which would have been completely understandable, she expressed different thoughts and had a different perspective.

“Oh, I’m going to be changing my life and simplifying it because I don’t need all this stuff,” she said. “I know it’s not important, and so, I’m going to think about what I buy, what I eat; everything will be thought out.”

Later in the clip, she mentioned that while this doesn’t mean she will stop having fun in life. However, she will start thinking a lot more about her purchases and whether she needs that item.

The video’s caption mentions that the elderly woman lost her house and two rental properties, which were her source of income, in the California wildfires.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

A pastor shared how God used his weakness to bless and help someone in need. His personal experience demonstrates the power of God and how His strength shines through our weaknesses. Watch the short but moving clip about how even weakness is a strength when God is involved.

As the saying goes, knowledge is power. Thanks to Google, we can look up any fact, figure or question in seconds and get the answer. The ability and potential to learn and acquire knowledge on basically any topic imaginable are all around us.

However, no matter how much time we spend on Google, we’ll never have all the answers. Human beings are limited in what they can do and do not and will never know everything. This is also true for pastors.

In a clip posted on YouTube, pastor Andrew Greer shares that he felt out of place in particular conversations early in his ministry. He mentions one particular conversation for which he spent so much time preparing, hoping to provide this man with the correct answers.

When the moment arrived, most of the pastor’s preparation went out of the window. He did not have answers or solutions to what the man was dealing with or going through at the time. Instead of offering advice and solutions, he spent most of the conversation just listening.

But then something happened.

“He told me afterward what he was most grateful for,” the pastor recalled. “He told me, ‘Dude, thanks so much for listening. You just let me talk.’ He goes, ‘Most people want to give me answers. They just want to, like, kind of fix it.’ He’s like, ‘It was really nice to just be able to talk.’”

It was a powerful example of what God is capable of, even in our weakness. He can use our weakness as a strength to bring glory to His name.

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble.’ Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.”
