Nicknames signify personality traits or physical characteristics, often spotlighting individual qualities. The Bible refers to Jesus through profound nicknames including the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, signifying his divine wisdom, powerful status, immortal nature, and peaceful influence. Reflect on Jesus’s characteristics and contemplate personal nicknames signifying your relationship with him.

Human tendency to hoard and be selfish doesn’t only limit to physical possessions but also extends to intangible elements like time and money, scarring our bond with God. Only if we realize that all our achievements and possessions are ultimately from God, can we let go of this selfishness and genuinely value the gifts he bestows upon us daily.

True fulfillment surfaces when we adjust our perspective about service. We often shun service due to the fear of complaints or insignificance. But the essence of service isn’t to please people, it’s to help God’s kingdom. Even in the tedious or thankless tasks, our diligence makes a difference. Stop questioning, start serving!

In a world rife with deceit and empty promises, the story of a duped coach serves as a harsh reminder. Ironically, it also highlights God’s unfailing trustworthiness, where his word isn’t an empty guarantee but a promise with a profound track record. For believers, counting on God’s steadfastness brings peace and hope amid uncertainties.

Relentless chip-on-shoulder boasting about our supposed infallibility is an ego-fuelled sin that rivals the deluded pride Lucifer harboured towards God. It is spiritual humility, the frank confession of our inherent sins, that draws divine attention. So, ditch your hubris, embrace your fallibility and humbly admit your need for a Saviour.

Like Wreck-It Ralph damaging and Fix-It Felix repairing an arcade game building, we shatter our souls with sin and cannot restore it ourselves. We need Jesus, our restorer, to mend the damage. Bearing the sanctity of Psalm 62:1, we must resist the temptation to wreck further, seeking God’s help and guidance instead. Let’s transform from a ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ to a devotee waiting for divine repair.
