PROVERB OF THE DAY

(Proverbs 2)

1. My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,

2. So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;

3. Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,

4. If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;

5. Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God.

6. For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

8. He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.

9. Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.

10. When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

11. Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you,

12. To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things,

13. From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;

14. Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;

15. Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;

16. To deliver you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words,

17. Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.

18. For her house leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead;

19. None who go to her return,
Nor do they regain the paths of life—

20. So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.

21. For the upright will dwell in the land,
And the blameless will remain in it;

22. But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,
And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.

The Story Behind the Hymns.
THE STORY BEHIND "SOFTLY AND TENDERLY JESUS IS CALLING "

“Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling” is one of the best-known Christian invitation hymns, written by American hymn writer and composer Will Lamartine Thompson in 1880.

Thompson was born in East Liverpool, Ohio, in 1847 and became a successful songwriter and publisher. Unlike many hymns that emerged from formal church traditions, “Softly and Tenderly” came from Thompson’s personal desire to create a simple song that would appeal directly to people who needed to make a spiritual decision.

The hymn’s central message is an invitation: Jesus is calling people to come to Him, return to Him, and receive His mercy. Its gentle words “Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me” gives the song its distinctive character. Rather than using threatening language, Thompson presented the call of Christ as loving, patient and compassionate.

One of the most memorable stories associated with the hymn involves evangelist Dwight L. Moody. Thompson reportedly visited Moody when the evangelist was seriously ill. During their meeting, Thompson told him that he had written the hymn and that he hoped it would be useful in Christian ministry. Moody was deeply moved by the song and encouraged its use in evangelistic meetings.

After Moody's death in 1899, the hymn became even more widely known through evangelistic campaigns and church services. Over the years, it has been sung at revival meetings, altar calls, funerals and moments of personal reflection. Its enduring appeal lies in its simplicity: a gentle reminder that the invitation to come to Christ is still open.

More than 140 years after it was written, “Softly and Tenderly” remains a powerful hymn because its message has not changed — Jesus calls, and the invitation is extended to everyone.

Amazing Facts.
Daily Devotionals

When Will Judgment Happen?

September 1st, 2026

In the year 1033, people around the world expected Jesus to return. That year, they reasoned, would signify the passing of a thousand years since the crucifixion and resurrection, and surely the Lord would come back for His own by then! (And if you are tempted to do the same, remember Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:36, that “no one” knows the “day and hour” of Christ’s return.)

But just because the world doesn’t come stamped with a specific expiration date does not mean it’s impossible to discern the “signs of the times” (Matthew 16:3).

One key factor is the presence of Rome at both ends of Jesus’ ministry. While the Savior was on earth, it was the pagan Roman Empire that captured and killed Him. Jesus gave up His life to atone for our sins, yes, but it was through the agency of the Roman state that this took place.

Daniel identifies Rome as the “little horn” that will persecute the saints. And Rome is still a religious-civil power, one that has sought “to change times and law” (Daniel 7:25) and one that has interposed a manmade system of religion that puts other sinful humans in the role of mediator—a role belonging to Christ alone.

This final Rome will also seek to compel obedience to its religion by aligning with worldly governments. Those who resist will face intense pressure to revert, and if they continue to resist, they will be confronted with the very real possibility of martyrdom.

These will indeed be perilous times for millions of God’s faithful, the ones called a “remnant” people (Romans 9:27). But Jesus promised “he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). Now, then, is the time to study and pray, so that you’ll be ready for that great and terrible day.

Apply It:

Jesus told his followers to “watch” (Mark 13:37). Keep looking out—and always keep looking up!

Dig Deeper:

Daniel 8:9; Daniel 8:12; Hebrews 7:25

Key Bible Texts
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. (Daniel 8:17 KJV)

September 1
“WHEN I CANNOT SEE HIS HAND”
WHEN I CHOOSE TO REMEMBER
Lamentations 3:21–23 (LLV) —
“Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's faithful love we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
There are times
when hope
seems to arrive
naturally.
Something changes.
A prayer
is answered.
A door
opens.
The clouds
begin
to clear.
And suddenly
hope
feels possible
again.
That is not
what happens
here.
Jeremiah
is surrounded
by devastation.
The city
he loves
has fallen.
His people
are suffering.
His heart
is filled
with grief.
Nothing
around him
has suddenly
become better.
Then Jeremiah says:
“This
I call
to mind.”
He makes
a choice.
He remembers
something.
And because
of what
he remembers,
hope begins
to return.
“Therefore
I have hope.”
Sometimes
hope begins
not when
our circumstances
change,
but when
we remember
what our circumstances
have caused us
to forget.
God
is still faithful.
His mercy
has not
run out.
His love
has not
disappeared.
His character
has not
changed.
Jeremiah
cannot yet
look around
and say,
“Everything
is well.”
But he can
look toward God
and say,
“Great is
Your faithfulness.”
That is
a very different
kind of hope.
It does not
deny
the ruins.
It does not
pretend
the pain
is small.
It simply refuses
to allow
the ruins
to tell
the entire story.
Then Jeremiah
gives us
one of Scripture's
most beautiful
images:
“His mercies
are new
every morning.”
Yesterday
may have been
difficult.
Yesterday
may contain
things
we cannot change.
Yesterday
may have exhausted
every bit
of strength
we thought
we had.
But morning
comes.
And when
it does,
God's mercy
has not been
used up
by yesterday.
There is mercy
for this morning.
Grace
for this day.
Strength
for this burden.
Faithfulness
for this step.
Perhaps
that is why
remembering
matters so much.
When we cannot
see God's hand
in what
is happening now,
we can remember
where we have
seen it before.
We remember
the prayers
He answered.
The strength
He supplied.
The doors
He opened.
The times
He carried us
through something
we once thought
we could never
endure.
And memory
becomes
a bridge
between yesterday's
faithfulness
and today's
hope.
Nothing
around Jeremiah
had changed.
But he remembered
something
greater
than what
surrounded him.
God had not changed.
A new beginning sometimes begins by remembering:
when I cannot see what God is doing today, I can remember who He has always been.
Reflection: What evidence of God's faithfulness from yesterday do I need to deliberately remember today?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, when difficulty fills my vision, I can easily forget the many ways You have already been faithful. Help me call them to mind. Remind me of Your mercy, Your provision, Your strength, and Your presence through every season behind me. Thank You that yesterday cannot exhaust the mercy You have prepared for today. Whatever surrounds me this morning, let me remember and say with Jeremiah: “Great is Your faithfulness.” In Jesus' name, Amen.

# **DWELLING IN THE SECRET PLACE**

There is a difference between **visiting God and living close to God**. Psalm 91:1 says, *“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”* I think of the secret place as that quiet space where you can put everything down for a moment—the things you cannot explain to anyone, the worries you carry into the night, the questions you are afraid to ask out loud. It is where you come before God without pretending that everything is fine. In His presence, you can breathe again.

The secret place is not necessarily a particular room, building, or mountain. It is a life of intimacy with God. It may be those early minutes before everyone else wakes up, a quiet corner after a long day, or simply a moment in your car when you turn everything off and talk honestly to God. **To dwell means to remain.** It is more than running to God when life falls apart and then forgetting Him when things become comfortable. It is learning to walk with Him in ordinary days as well as difficult ones. When you make God's presence a regular part of your life, prayer becomes more than an emergency call; it becomes a relationship.

Something changes when you spend time with God consistently. Your problems may not disappear overnight, but your perspective begins to change. You become less controlled by fear and less dependent on people's approval. You begin to recognize God's voice, understand His Word more clearly, and make decisions from a place of faith rather than panic. The secret place does not promise a life without trouble; it gives you somewhere to stand when trouble comes. **Psalm 91:2** says, *“I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.’”*

Perhaps you have been trying to carry too much on your own. You have been strong for everyone else, answering messages, solving problems, meeting expectations, and quietly wondering who will strengthen you. **Come back to the secret place.** You don't have to arrive with perfect words. Come tired. Come confused. Come grateful. Come disappointed. Just come. God is not asking you to perform; He is inviting you into His presence.

Don't make the secret place somewhere you visit only when you are desperate. **Make it your dwelling.** Let prayer become part of your rhythm. Let Scripture shape your thinking. Let worship quiet your heart. And when the storms come—and they will—you will have something deeper than circumstances to hold onto. **You will know where your strength comes from, where your peace is found, and where you can return when everything around you feels uncertain.**

The Present: A Personal War
While the series is titled Prepare For The End, the current books focus on the "shattering" of individual stable worlds rather than a total global collapse.

• Individual Lives: The Kingdom War is currently playing out in "ordinary people’s lives in one small area," where the primary threats are local "facades," satanic rituals, and the infiltration of community pillars.

• The Family Line: The immediate battle is a "war between family lines who long ago chose sides," pitting the original settler families of the Alliance against a centuries-old Coven.

• Birth Pangs: The characters recognize they are in the "transition" phase of prophecy—a period where labor has begun and cannot be stopped, yet the full "birth" of the final days has not yet reached its peak.

Preparation for the Future
The "present" of the series is a training ground where characters are "strengthened and honed" for the larger battles to come.

• Tactical Readiness: The Alliance is currently focused on "gathering the sheep" and building physical and spiritual outposts, such as the hidden compounds on the Rockin' O ranch, to sustain themselves through the coming years.

• Future Milestones: As the series progresses, it will incorporate more explicit end-time events, such as the appearance of "invading armies," the reign of the Antichrist, and the return to the "days of Noah" involving the open creation of Nephilim.

• The World-Altering Shift: While the world isn't falling apart globally yet, the characters are being "stripped to the bone" so they can withstand the "world-altering" shift that occurs when the "gloves come off" and the enemy hits them from all sides.

This approach of Kinetic Christian Realism ensures that the "puzzle for the mind" remains intact, enticing readers with personal drama and mysteries while protecting the massive eschatological reveals intended for later in the journey.

ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD SHALL REMEMBER

Turn Your Heart Back to God

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

Psalm 22:27 (KJV) “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.”

1. REMEMBER GOD

Life can make people forget God when things are going well.

Never let success make you forget the One who gave you life.

2. TURN TO THE LORD

Remembering God must lead to action.

When you have gone the wrong way, turn back to Him.

It is never too late to return to God.

Soil Regeneration, Carbon, and Why Healthy Soil Matters

Healthy soil is the foundation of every thriving ecosystem. Without healthy soil, forests decline, crops become weaker, water is lost more quickly, and biodiversity decreases.

At Two Roots Garden Cambodia, we believe that restoring soil is one of the most important actions we can take for the future of people and nature.

What Is Soil Regeneration?

Soil regeneration is the process of rebuilding living, fertile soil through natural biological processes rather than depending primarily on synthetic fertilizers.

Instead of simply feeding plants, we focus on feeding the entire soil ecosystem, including bacteria, fungi, earthworms, insects, and countless other organisms. These living communities recycle nutrients, improve soil structure, and help plants grow naturally.

Healthy soil is alive.

A single teaspoon of healthy soil can contain billions of microorganisms working together to support plant life.

Soil and Carbon

Plants remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

They use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars that fuel their growth.

A significant portion of these sugars is transferred through the roots into the soil, where microorganisms convert some of this carbon into stable soil organic matter. This process stores carbon in the ground and helps build healthier soils.

When land is degraded through erosion, repeated burning, excessive tillage, or the loss of vegetation, much of this stored carbon can be released back into the atmosphere.

Regenerative farming practices help increase soil organic matter, which supports soil health and can contribute to greater long-term carbon storage.

Why Organic Matter Matters

Organic matter acts like nature's sponge.

It helps the soil:

- Store more water.
- Improve drainage during heavy rain.
- Reduce erosion.
- Feed soil organisms.
- Supply nutrients to plants.
- Build stable soil structure.
- Increase resilience during drought.

As organic matter increases, soils generally become healthier and more productive.

The Carbon Cycle in Our Garden

Every leaf, branch, root, and piece of mulch plays a role in the carbon cycle.

Instead of burning plant material or throwing it away, we return it to the soil.

Through composting, mulching, pruning, and careful biomass management, plant material is recycled into new life.

This creates a continuous cycle of growth, decomposition, and renewal.

In nature, nothing is wasted.

Biochar and Long-Term Carbon Storage

At Two Roots Garden, we also use biochar where appropriate.

Biochar is charcoal produced from plant material under low-oxygen conditions.

When added correctly to biologically active soil, biochar can improve water retention, provide habitat for beneficial microorganisms, and contribute to long-term carbon storage.

It works best when combined with compost or other organic materials rather than used on its own.

Why This Matters for Cambodia

Healthy soils can help farms and gardens become more resilient.

Regenerating soil can:

- Improve food production.
- Reduce erosion during heavy rains.
- Increase water-holding capacity during dry periods.
- Support biodiversity.
- Reduce dependence on expensive external inputs.
- Strengthen local food security.
- Improve the long-term productivity of family gardens.

What Volunteers Can Do

Every volunteer contributes to soil regeneration by:

- Applying mulch.
- Making compost.
- Planting diverse species.
- Protecting bare soil.
- Returning biomass to the land.
- Avoiding unnecessary disturbance.
- Observing and caring for the living soil.

Every handful of compost, every tree planted, and every layer of mulch contributes to a healthier ecosystem.

Healthy soil is more than dirt beneath our feet—it is a living community that supports forests, farms, wildlife, and people. By restoring soil, we help create resilient landscapes that can nourish future generations while supporting biodiversity and storing more carbon over time.

YOU SHALL SPROUT AGAIN. .

TEXT: Job 14:7-9. (KJV).

"For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout
again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock
thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will
bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant."

Other Texts: (Numbers 23:19; Joshua 21:45; 2 Corinthians
1:20; Genesis 21:1–2; Deuteronomy 7:9; Isaiah 55:10–11; Habakkuk 2:3; 1 Kings 8:56.)

Introduction:
There are seasons in life when it appears that everything has come to an end.
Dreams seem buried, businesses collapse, ministries become dry, families experience heartbreak, and health fails. The enemy whispers, "It is over."
But God declares through Job 14:7, "There is hope."
Our God specializes in bringing life out of death, beauty out of ashes, and restoration after devastation.
If a tree can sprout again after being cut down, then a child of God can also rise again.
No matter how much has been lost, you shall sprout again.

I. YOUR SETBACK IS NOT YOUR END.
Job 14:7
A tree may be cut down, but its roots remain alive.
The enemy may cut down your finances, reputation, relationships, or ministry, but if your roots remain in Christ, your future is secure.
Job lost everything, yet God restored him double (Job 42:10-17).

Joseph was betrayed, sold into slavery, and imprisoned before becoming governor (Genesis 37; 39-41).
Naomi returned to Bethlehem empty, but God filled her again through Ruth (Ruth 1-4).
A farmer does not uproot every tree after cutting its branches because he knows that life is still hidden beneath the surface. Likewise, what appears dead to people may still be alive in God's hands.
People may write you off, but God has not finished writing your story.

2. THE ROOT DETERMINES THE FUTURE.
Job 14:8
"Though the root thereof wax old..."
God focuses on the root rather than the branches.
The branches represent visible success.
The roots represent: Prayer, Faith, Character, Holiness, God's Word
A believer with deep roots can recover after any storm.
(Psalm 1:3, Jeremiah 17:7-8, Colossians 2:6-7)
Never neglect your spiritual roots during difficult seasons.

3. THE SCENT OF WATER BRINGS REVIVAL.
Job 14:9
The tree sprouts not because someone pushes it but because it senses water.
Throughout Scripture, water represents:
The Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39)
The Word of God (Ephesians 5:26)
God's refreshing presence (Isaiah 44:3)
The moment God's presence touches a dry life, restoration begins.
Ezekiel's dry bones came alive by God's Spirit (Ezekiel 37:1-14).
Samson regained strength when his hair grew again (Judges 16:22).
Peter failed terribly, yet Jesus restored him and he became a bold preacher (John 21:15-19).
During drought, fields appear lifeless. Yet when rain falls, seeds hidden beneath the soil suddenly germinate. What looked dead was only waiting for the right season.
Stay connected to God's presence because one encounter can change everything.

4. GOD RESTORES WHAT SEEMS LOST
God is the God of restoration.
(Joel 2:25-27, Isaiah 61:7, Psalm 126:1-6)
God restores: Lost opportunities, Joy, Peace, Relationships, Ministries, Finances, Health etc.
Lazarus came back from the grave (John 11).
The Shunammite woman received back her land and possessions (2 Kings 8:1-6).
The prodigal son was restored to his father's house (Luke 15:11-24).
God's restoration is often greater than what was lost.

5. SPROUTING AGAIN REQUIRES FAITH.
Faith sees life where others see death.
(Hebrews 11:1, Mark 9:23, Romans 4:17-21)
Abraham believed against hope.
Sarah conceived in old age.
Nothing is impossible with God.
Faith keeps believing until God's promise becomes reality.

6. DO NOT DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS.
When a tree sprouts again, it starts with a small shoot.
God often begins restoration in small ways.
(Zechariah 4:10, Isaiah 60:22)
David moved from shepherd boy to king one step at a time (1 Samuel 16; 2 Samuel 5).
Celebrate every sign of progress because God often starts small before doing something great.

7. YOUR TESTIMONY WILL ENCOURAGE OTHERS.
When God restores you, your life becomes a testimony.
(Psalm 40:1-3, Revelation 12:11)
Others who have lost hope will gain courage because of what God has done for you.

LESSONS FOR TODAY'S CHRISTIAN
Never conclude your life before God has finished His work.
Remain rooted in Christ during difficult seasons.
Stay in God's presence because revival comes from Him.
Believe that restoration is possible even after great loss.
Be patient with God's timing.
Small beginnings can lead to great breakthroughs.
Your restored life will glorify God and strengthen the faith of others.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Ask yourself:
Are my spiritual roots still alive?
Am I staying close to God through prayer and His Word?
Am I trusting God's promises more than my present circumstances?
Am I ready to recognize the new beginning God is bringing?
Even if life has "cut you down," God can cause you to sprout again.

SUMMARY.
The enemy may have cut down your dreams, delayed your progress, or shaken your confidence, but he cannot destroy what God has planted.
The same God who restored Job, raised Lazarus, revived dry bones, and restored Peter is still at work today.
Your current season is not your final chapter.
By the power of the Holy Spirit, new life will emerge from what seemed finished.
Your joy will return, your calling will flourish, your faith will grow stronger, and your testimony will declare God's faithfulness.
Remember God's promise: "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again..." (Job 14:7, KJV).
Declare by faith:
I shall sprout again.
My hope is alive in Christ.
My dry season is coming to an end.
God is restoring every area of my life.
My latter days shall be greater than my former days.
My testimony will bring glory to God.
In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

SHALOM.
