God’s Tender Care - Bro. T. Stephen

Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you today, July 4th, through this auspicious word. May God bless you.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? Isaiah 42:3 says, “A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.”

This verse speaks of God’s tender care for those who are weak or struggling. A bruised reed is fragile and close to breaking, and smoking flax is dimly burning, on the verge of extinguishing. Yet, God promises not to break the bruised reed or quench the smoking flax. Instead, He will restore and strengthen them. Perhaps you are facing broken relationships, health issues, or financial struggles. The Lord sees your pain and is ready to intervene. Just as He protected Joseph’s relationship with Mary, He can heal and restore your relationships. He can revive your health and extend your life, as He did for King Hezekiah.

Let us read a testimony from Sister Latha in Chennai. She and her family had drilled a borewell 55 feet deep, but no water came. After participating in the Anbarin Paathathil fasting meeting and praying with Brother Stephen, they returned home to find that water had started flowing in their borewell.
This miracle demonstrates God’s power to restore and provide.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for Your tender care. You have promised not to break the bruised reed or quench the smoking flax. For those whose relationships, health, or hope are faltering, we ask that You restore and strengthen them. May Your justice and truth prevail in their lives.
In Jesus’ name, We pray
Amen.
