Morning Meditations. Grace To You Beloved. SCRIPTURE AND WORDS OF MEDITATION: SCRIPTURE: Matthew 26:14–15 NKJV, “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, ‘What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?’ And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.” WORDS OF MEDITATION: "Check the Value of Your Heart”. On this day of Holy Week, Scripture turns our attention to a quiet but sobering moment. Judas, one of the twelve, a man who walked with Jesus, listened to His teaching, and witnessed His power, makes a decision that reveals something deeper than action it reveals value. “What are you willing to give me?” In that question, we see a heart that began to measure Jesus against something else. Betrayal did not start in that moment it was the result of a heart that had slowly shifted its value system. Thirty pieces of silver became more appealing than the Savior. This is not just Judas’ story; it is a warning for every believer. Anything we value more than Christ has the potential to pull our hearts away from Him. It may not be money. It may be comfort, recognition, control, or personal desire. But whenever something begins to take first place, devotion begins to weaken. Holy Week reminds us not only of what Jesus did, but also of what we must examine. Listen, today, ask yourself: what holds the highest value in my heart? Because whatever you value most will ultimately guide your decisions. Let this be a day of realignment. Choose Christ again. Value Him above everything else. When your heart is set right, your life will follow. Because of Christ, Pastor Dr. Bennie L. Robinson, D. Div. April 1, 2026 PRAYER, Our Gracious Heavenly Father, search our hearts and reveal anything that has taken a higher place than You. Remove every misplaced priority and restore our devotion fully to You. Help us value You above all things and walk in faithfulness and truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Morning Meditations Grace To You Beloved. SCRIPTURE AND WORDS OF MEDITATION: SCRIPTURE: Luke 21:19 NKJV, “By your patience possess your souls.” WORDS OF MEDITATION: “Hold Yourself Together” Jesus speaks these words in a context of pressure, persecution, and uncertainty. He is not describing easy days, He is preparing His followers for difficult ones. And in the middle of that, He gives a powerful instruction: “By your patience possess your souls.” That word possess means to hold, to keep, to maintain control. In other words, do not lose yourself in the pressure. Do not let frustration take over your spirit. Do not allow anxiety to control your mind. Patience is not just waiting, it is spiritual composure. It is the ability to remain steady when everything around you is trying to shake you. Life will present moments that test your emotions, your reactions, and your endurance. But Jesus is saying, “Stay in control of your soul.” Guard your peace. Hold your faith. Keep your spirit aligned. Listen, today’s word is strong and necessary: do not lose yourself in what you are going through. Stay grounded. Stay steady. Stay patient. What you hold together in faith, God will carry forward in strength. Because of Christ, Pastor Dr. Bennie L. Robinson, D. Div. March 31, 2026 PRAYER: Eternal God, help us remain steady under pressure and patient in every situation. Guard our minds, strengthen our hearts, and teach us to hold on to peace and faith no matter what we face. Keep us grounded in You today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
