Ever wonder if God really exist? Want proof …? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

A heroic Navy sailor put his life and safety at risk to rescue a family from a burning apartment building. The man stepped up in a big way and helped to save the life of a woman and her son from a building that was engulfed in flames. Check out this daring and heroic rescue caught on video.

Heroes, heroic and heroism are words thrown around way too often in society. The bar has been significantly lowered regarding being considered a hero today. Put a ball through a hoop, vote a particular way in Congress, run for president or appear on the big screen, and you, too, will be referred to as a hero.

But, of course, we know that is entirely wrong. None of those individuals are heroes or have done anything heroic. However, there are still heroes that exist. Unfortunately, they don’t get near the attention they deserve for their courageous, life-saving deeds.

A clip posted on YouTube captured one of these actual heroes: Gabriel Journey, a member of the U.S. Navy. In the video, an apartment building’s roof is engulfed in flames as heavy, thick smoke billows into the sky. It looks like a scene straight out of a movie.

A mother and her son are still inside, trapped in the burning building. The video captures bystanders nearby frantically working and trying to figure out how to get them out and to safety. Then, seconds later, one man, Gabriel, is hoisted up onto the side of the building near the open window of the woman’s apartment.

Gabriel stands along the building’s tiny, narrow edge as he reaches into the window and grabs the woman and then her son, lowering them down to safety.

In an interview following the heroic rescue, Gabriel stated that his military training helped to prepare him for that moment.

“We train very in-depthly on combatting what we call causalities, which may be in the sense of a fire or flooding,” he said.

Proverbs 19:17 “He who has pity on the poor gives to the Lord, and the Lord will give him his reward.”

Actress, author and podcast host Candace Cameron Bure opened up about accepting Jesus Christ and her faith journey. She provided details about how and when her walk with Christ started and the event that caused her to deepen her faith and seek God’s will. Check out the video to hear Candace’s powerful testimony.

Candace, along with her older brother Kirk Cameron, is one of the most outspoken Christian celebrities. She frequently shares and talks about their faith in Jesus Christ. She hosts a popular podcast in which she and her guests talk about faith, marriage, being a parent and society.

The Full House actress does not shy away from speaking out about Jesus Christ and how He can and does change lives. She does it so frequently that you would think she grew up in an overly Christian household. However, as Candace shares in a video posted on YouTube, that was not the case. In fact, her faith in Jesus Christ actually came about because her parents’ marriage was on the verge of coming to an end.

“A lot of people assume, rightly so, because I am bold in my faith, and my brother Kirk is also very much known for his faith and ministry, but yeah, the first time I ever went to church, I was 12 years old,” she said. “My mom was always a believer, but my dad wasn’t and didn’t want religion in our home and thought that we should decide when we were 18.”

When she was 12, Candace says her parents were considering a divorce. That’s when a family friend suggested her parents go to church and attend counseling through the church. From that point, Candace and her family went to church every week. One Sunday, during the pastor’s sermon, Candace accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior.

Years later, at age 22, Candace gave birth to her first child, and her faith deepened. She sought God’s will for her life.

“And I was a new mom; I was 22 years old,” she said. “And I started thinking about, well, what am I going to teach her about God? And I realized at that moment that I really didn’t know anything about God.”

That moment sent her on a path of discovery and studying God’s Word. Candace’s faith and walk with the Lord started to deepen.

James 4:8 “Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evildoers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.”

One nurse in England uses her beautiful singing voice to lift the spirits of children battling cancer. This is such a lovely story about a medical professional going the extra mile to make sick children feel a little better. She is helping to put a smile on those faces. Watch this video to learn how one nurse is working to spread joy to sick children.

Life is often not a fun experience. Several instances during our time on Earth will bring about pain, hurt and heartache. Sickness and disease do not discriminate as they strike everyone, even the most innocent and vulnerable members of society: children.

Children being diagnosed with cancer has to be one of the worst things that take place on Earth. A youngster who should be outside playing with their friends and enjoying life being relegated to a hospital bed is enough to make even the most stoic, unemotional person shed a few tears. That’s a pain and suffering no child or family should have to endure.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Sally, a nurse in England, explained how she is doing what she can to help encourage and uplift the spirits of children fighting cancer. Not only does she help provide them with medical care, but she also sings to them, hoping to put smiles on those young faces.

For the past 20 years, she has been putting together special musical performances for sick children. She says that the idea came up after she was a member of a choir, performing for children and seeing how excited they were about the performance.

“And I thought, actually, the children that I look after in hospital don’t get that opportunity because they’re often in hospital for a really long time,” she said during a November 2024 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “So, we came up with the idea of singing medicine.”

The incredible musical initiative has continued to grow over the years. Sally and her team even let the children pick and choose the songs the performers sing.

1 John 3:17 “But if a man has this world’s goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love for God to be in him?”

Ever wonder why God is taking so long to respond to your prayers? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

A young musician with a physical disability inspires others with determination and perseverance. This young man has refused to give up or make excuses but has persisted when presented with challenges. Check out this video to learn more about this impressive and inspiring young man.

Not every situation in life is a reason to jump for joy or a cause for celebration. In fact, many times, it will be quite the opposite. There will be immensely painful experiences and circumstances that result in intense grief and heartache.

Additionally, if you’re not already aware, life is not fair. For whatever reason, some people seem to have been dealt a much more difficult hand. They come against more than what feels like their fair share of troubles and hardships. Some people will endlessly complain about their present circumstances, believing the world is against them. But then other people persevere; no matter what life throws at them, they rise to and meet that challenge. Isaac Ramos belongs firmly in the latter category.

As the video posted on YouTube points out, Isaac was born with a deformed left arm. However, he has not let that stop him from playing not one but four instruments. He uses a custom-fitted prosthetic, which allows him to play the drums, the guitar and the violin. The middle school student also plays the piano, but as he demonstrates in the clip, he does not wear it when tickling the ivories.

“There’s challenges that may stop me sometimes, but I’ve always learned to overcome them even if it takes a little more,” Isaac said. “At the end, it’s all worth it.”

But music isn’t the only place where Isaac succeeds and impresses. His teachers and school principal praised his character and performance in the classroom.

What a truly impressive and inspiring young man!

John 16:33 “I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world, you have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Anne Wilson, one of the most talented musicians in the Christian music scene, surprised the crew when she stopped by a fire station playing her music. Anne’s impromptu visit made for an incredibly sweet moment. Check out the video to see the crew’s reaction to their unexpected guest.

Life is an extended sequence of unexpected events and twists and turns. Sadly, as most people already know well, some of those twists and turns will result in pain, grief and immense and indescribable heartache. Unfortunately, none of us will be able to escape this life without experiencing our fair share of painful, agonizing situations and circumstances.

However, life is not all doom and gloom, not by a long shot. The good Lord blesses and touches our lives in many ways. He gives us plenty of reasons to be thankful and praise His name. One way He blesses our lives is through the people He brings into our lives, even when they arrive unexpectedly.

A short video posted on YouTube shows Anne walking across the street, approaching a fire station. The clip’s description mentions that this particular station, near Anne's performing venue, had been playing her music all day. So, she decided to stop by and meet the firefighters.

As Anne gets closer to the station, her hit “Rain in the Rearview” can be heard blaring throughout the garage. The clip shows the tune coming from someone’s phone lying on the front bumper of a firetruck.

When Anne steps into the garage, someone immediately recognizes her and screams, “Yeah!” 

One of the firefighters hugs her and mentions how much he and his family enjoy her music. Sadly, he adds that his wife and three children were unable to attend her concert.

Anne then proceeds to greet each one of the firefighters.

What a sweet moment that shows us we never know who might cross our path and what life has in store.

1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God’s knowledge of me.”

Its always hard to simply “trust God” completely! So, is it foolish …? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

A garbage truck driver’s sweet and heartwarming gesture for two little boys will touch your heart. It was a simple but kind move that may significantly impact those children. Check out this video for the story that will cause you to shed a tear or two or three.

Everyone is capable of being kind. It doesn’t require any specific skill, talent or even money. Showing someone love and kindness doesn’t cost much at all. The only things that it does require are a little bit of time, care and compassion.

The biggest, most important part of kindness is the potential impact it could have on someone. Something we might view as small and insignificant could greatly influence and may even change the direction of an individual’s life. We can never be sure how much our actions will affect the lives of others. 

A YouTube clip shows a sanitation worker displaying kindness to two small children. He took time out of his day and his schedule to be kind to the kids - brothers Oakley and Reese. 

The garbage truck driver, Tim Halpin, was doing his rounds when he noticed the boys’ Halloween costumes. They had dressed up as sanitation workers and even had their own garbage truck. Their miniature truck was the children’s wagon, which their father had decorated and converted into a truck.

“A couple weeks ago, I was driving by, and they just caught my eye,” Tim said. “And I was like, ‘Look at that. That was pretty cool.’”

After Tim spotted the children’s costume, the company, Waste Management, reached out to their mother and offered the boys an opportunity to get an up-close look at one of their trucks.

Later, Tim made a special visit, letting the kids look at his truck. He even brought gifts for Oakley and Reese along with him, including Waste Management backpacks.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Two little boys who saved for years to buy a game system received a moving surprise from a stranger. The sweet and unexpected gesture from the man will likely bring a tear or two or three to your eyes. Check out this video for a moment that will brighten your day.

Achieving anything in life requires hard work and sacrifice. No one goes to sleep one night, wakes up the next day, and automatically becomes a doctor, lawyer, engineer or professional athlete. Those positions and titles aren’t handed out just because someone hopes or wishes them to become a reality. Getting there involves a lot of work, determination, persistence and perseverance.

Of course, this is a reality that most adults already know and understand. However, this is a fact of life that all youngsters must learn. The sooner children learn how hard work is required to achieve anything of value and meaning in life, the better. A clip posted on social media shows two young men enjoying the fruits of their labor, which ended in a sweet and heartwarming surprise.

The video's opening moments make it clear that the children have been saving for two years to buy a Nintendo Switch. The day has finally arrived, and they have saved enough money to purchase the game system.

Seconds later, the two tiny gentlemen are standing at a Target checkout counter with the game system as they count their money. The surface is soon covered in dollar bills and coins as the children wait until the Nintendo Switch is officially theirs.

Next, one of the boys grabs the bag with the system off the counter. The system is officially their possession. But then something happens that catches the children and their parents entirely off guard.

A man stops the children and asks them, “What kind of games you going to play on it?” Seconds later, the stranger informs the children that “Hard work pays off, man. Keep doing it” as he hands them a $50 gift card to buy their first game for their newly acquired system.

The look on the young man’s face is one of surprise and amazement. What a beautiful moment!

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

A social media post from a pizzeria in New York City led to a life-saving kidney transplant. This is a heartwarming and tear-jerking story about love and kindness and how one post on social media saved someone’s life. Check out this video; you will be glad you did.

Popular social media platforms are often nothing but a massive wasteland. Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and TikTok typically feature snarky, hateful and profanity-filled posts about this or that topic. As you likely already know, people can get nasty rather quickly with one another when they can hide behind a keyboard.

Even when users are somewhat pleasant with one another, social media is usually where time and productivity go to die. It’s easy to get on Facebook or Instagram and scroll aimlessly, and end up wasting an hour or two looking at meaningless posts and tons of pictures. However, social media can sometimes be used for good, as one video posted on YouTube shows.

One man, Theo Alano, was informed by his doctors that he badly needed a new kidney. The clip mentions that he was experiencing “end-stage kidney failure.” Sadly, being on the waitlist, hoping for a kidney match, could mean years, and Theo needed one as soon as possible. So, he turned to social media to ask for help, specifically Instagram.

Theo admits that several times, he thought all hope was gone. But then something changed everything, and it ended with Theo getting his much-needed kidney transplant.

Theo’s friend, Mark, owns a popular Brooklyn pizzeria. His restaurant’s Instagram page has nearly 250,000 followers. Mark shared Theo’s post, bringing it to the attention of many more people. Then, someone responded to the post—a stranger, Rusty Rastello.

After talking it over with his fiancée, Rusty underwent the testing and discovered he was a match for Theo. Rusty lovingly donated a kidney to Theo, saving his life.

“It’s pretty amazing what he (Rusty) did,” Mark said. “It’s also nice to see something good come out of social media. If you need a kidney, DM me.”

1 Corinthians 16:14“Let all you do be done in love.”

How has God helped you step out in faith? Has He given you courage? Although most of us want to live bold, extraordinary lives of purpose and eternal impact, fear can hold us back from fully yielding to God. Often our minds jump to that big, possible assignment, not recognizing that the Lord builds our faith muscles and our trust in Him through the little yeses we offer today. But most importantly, our obedience, however timid, also deepens our intimacy with Him, the God who reigns over all and remains with us through every challenge we encounter and overwhelming assignment we embrace. Passage discussed: Esther 4, particularly her courage to risk her life to save her people, and how this reminded us of Jesus’s ultimate hard yes to die on the cross so that we might live.

God has wonderful plans for each of us, the problem is that we don’t always “see them” especially in the midst of such a problematic world! #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

A group of students is spreading and showing Christ’s love to others through Samaritan’s Purse’s “Operation Christmas Child.” One school district in Southern California has been involved in the excellent initiative for more than two decades. You’ll want to check out how these students and school administrators have been working to show people around the world love and compassion.

Christmas is, without question, the most enjoyable and beautiful time of year. The beauty of the Christmas season does not just come from the show-stopping, awe-inspiring lighting displays. It also comes from how people tend to treat one another during the Christmas season. Individuals exhibit more kindness, love and generosity, showing others more compassion, grace and patience.

The students, staff and administrators of the Pacific Southwest District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in Irvine, California, have been packing shoeboxes for children worldwide for over 20 years. To the district’s teachers and administrators, Operation Christmas Child is an excellent opportunity for them to show those in need Christ’s love.

“It’s just such an easy way to share Jesus’s love with people all around the world,” Ashley Klitzing, a teacher, said.

“There’s just something so tangible about a student giving back,” Sally Brink, a teacher, said.

The effort has grown so large and become so important at the school that the system dedicates one entire school day to packing the shoeboxes.

The school’s students are fully aware of the impact their kind and loving efforts are having on those in need worldwide.

“It brings our community together. It brings our school together,” Ashley, a student, said. “The impact that it has, the impact that it has had and the impact that it will have in the future is just so great. And it’s amazing that we get to be a part of that.”

According to Samaritan’s Purse, “Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes.” 

Volunteers stuff shoeboxes with toys, much-needed personal care items and school supplies, which are then sent to children around the world.

1 Corinthians 16:14“Let all you do be done in love.”

An actor who had a major role, arguably the biggest one, in the beloved “A Christmas Story” reflected on the classic film. Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie in the movie, discussed why he believes so many people love and continue to identify with “A Christmas Story.” You’ll, without a doubt, want to check out this clip.

Christmas is a fun, wonderful season, easily the best time of the year. It’s a period filled with a seemingly endless lineup of customs and traditions. A big part of those family traditions includes watching specific Christmas television specials and Christmas-themed movies together. To many people, one film that is required viewing every Christmas is “A Christmas Story.”

In a clip posted on YouTube, Peter, whose character desperately wanted a BB gun in the film, discussed the film, specifically why the film remains so popular more than 40 years after its release.

“I think the biggest feedback that I’ve always heard is people will say, ‘That’s my family,’” Peter said. “And I think what they mean is, which is also kind of wild because this movie takes place in the 40s. So, there’s something timeless about the characters, about the archetypes of the old man, of the mom, of the brothers, of the bullies in the neighborhood.”

He later added how he believes people identify with what the characters experience and go through in the film.

“And I think there’s also a lot of hope in the movie,” he said. “You know, it’s pretty real there. The characters, they go through a lot of bumps and bruises, but it always culminates in the magic of Christmas Day. And I think that’s familiar for a lot of us as well. Our families aren’t perfect. We go through a lot, especially during the holiday season.”

Peter also mentioned how the film was not initially a big hit with audiences but slowly started to pick up steam and popularity as people began sharing VHS copies of the movie.

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

A bestselling author got emotional on a call with a teacher who encouraged and inspired her. This is such a sweet and heartwarming moment of a woman, now a bestselling author, who reached out to her former teacher to thank him for his impact on her life. You will want to check out this moving clip!

Teaching is not an easy profession, but it’s an extremely important one. We always need good and dedicated teachers, and we can never have too many of them in the classroom. Educators impact the next generation; what those teachers say and do in the classroom matters greatly.

Teachers, with just a few words or a particular lesson, could change a student’s entire life. A teacher’s kind and encouraging words could be just the thing someone needs to get them to see and achieve their potential. That’s precisely what happened to author Abby Jimenez, a New York Times bestselling author.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Abby decided to reach out to her former high school teacher to thank him for his encouragement. He made her believe that she could go on and do great things with her writing and make it a career, which she has done.

“The only schooling that I ever had for writing was your class,” she says to her former teacher. “You made me love writing. You were so encouraging. It was the only class that I liked in my whole high school career. That was the only class that I enjoyed. And, you know, I just wanted to tell you that how much you meant because I don’t know if I would be a writer today if it wasn’t for you.”

Later in the clip, the teacher mentioned how much hearing from Abby meant to him.

“Hearing these kinds of things from your students is really better than winning some kind of award or getting a good review from your principal,” he said.

Psalm 32:8 “I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.”
