Caleb Watson was dying.Not metaphorically.Not slowly.But surely.

At 39, the diagnosis had come hard and fast. Stage four cancer. The kind that doesn’t ask permission, doesn’t wait for you to wrap up your business, and doesn’t leave room for miracles unless God intervenes directly.

He’d been strong once. Owned a construction company. Sang baritone on Sundays at church.But now?

The man who used to carry drywall on his shoulder like it was made of paper could barely carry on a conversation without coughing up pain.

He was tired.Of treatments.Of pain.Of pretending.

He didn’t want the chaplain visit that day.Not really.

But when Miss Evelyn, a soft-spoken widow who volunteered at the hospital, knocked gently and asked, “May I sit with you?”—he just nodded.

She sat. Didn’t push.

Then she reached into her purse and pulled out a small Bluetooth speaker.

“There’s a song,” she said, “I want you to hear.It’s not new. Not ancient either.But it’s eternal.”

He didn’t have the energy to argue.

So she hit play.

🎶 “A thousand generations falling down in worship…”

Something happened.

Caleb’s tired eyes stared at the ceiling. But in his spirit, he saw something else.

A throne.

Not just a vision. Not a dream. A glimpse.

Of Heaven.

Of creatures beyond imagination.Of light that didn’t shine—it radiated.Of voices. Uncountable. Singing the same song.

Not because they had to.

Because it was truth.

And in the center—A Lamb.Slain. Yet alive.Wounded. Yet whole.Crowned in glory.

Caleb wanted to speak, but couldn’t.

Tears streamed down his face, and all he could do…was fall to his knees in that vision.In his spirit.

And join the sound.

🎶 “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty…”

Miss Evelyn didn’t say a word.She saw his face.Saw the tears.She knew.

She simply reached out and held his trembling hand.

“That song you just heard, Caleb…” she whispered, “they’ve been singing it for ages.And they’re not going to stop anytime soon.And when your voice joins in—it won’t just echo. It’ll matter.”

Later that night, Caleb asked to see his daughter.He smiled. Ate a little.Said he wanted to hear the song again.

And when the nurses came in the next morning, he was gone.

But not alone.

The Lesson

There is a song.Older than language.Louder than doubt.Stronger than death.

A song Heaven never stops singing:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord…”

It doesn’t change with seasons.It doesn’t dim with sickness.It doesn’t pause for politics, pandemics, or pain.

And when we worship here—on this side of eternity—we’re not starting something…

We’re joining something.

Bible Verse

Revelation 4:8 (ESV)

“Day and night they never cease to say,‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,who was and is and is to come!’”

So when life feels temporary,when fear screams loud,when the world tries to shake your faith—

Sing the song.

Not because you understand everything.But because He’s holy—forever.

And even in death,your worship still rises.

Some battles require more than strategy—they demand a miracle. Joshua found himself in the thick of war, outnumbered and racing the setting sun. Instead of retreating or relying solely on human might, he looked up and prayed one of the boldest prayers ever recorded: “Sun, stand still.” Not whispered. Not doubted. But declared aloud in faith before all of Israel.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord… and he said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.’” — Joshua 10:12 (ESV)

Audacious prayer isn’t about demanding from God—it’s about believing in Him. Joshua wasn’t reckless. He was confident in the God who promised victory. His boldness wasn't arrogance—it was anchored in obedience. And God honored it.

We’ve gotten comfortable with small prayers. “Lord, if it’s your will.” “Just help me get through the day.” There’s nothing wrong with those prayers—but what if God is waiting for you to pray for something only He can do?

Never forget…don’t shrink your prayers to match your faith—stretch your faith to match God’s power. That cancer diagnosis? That broken marriage? That prodigal child? Pray like you believe the One who commands the sun and moon still hears your voice.

The miracle isn’t in the words—it’s in the heart behind them. Faith that believes. Faith that moves mountains. Faith that stops the sun.

Question of the Day:What bold, God-sized prayer do you need to stop whispering and start declaring today?

Let’s Pray:Lord, ignite my faith. Teach me to pray prayers that shake the heavens—not out of pride, but because I believe You can do the impossible. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Life is full of noise—voices demanding our attention, steering our decisions, and shaping our direction. At the end of his life, Joshua gathered the people and laid down a bold declaration: "Choose this day whom you will serve." He wasn’t just making a personal decision—he was leading his household with clarity and courage. In a world pulling us in a thousand directions, that same choice confronts us daily: Which voice will we follow?

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” —Joshua 24:15 (ESV)

Every day is filled with choices—and the voices we listen to often determine the roads we take. The voice of fear tells us to stay safe. The voice of compromise whispers, “It’s not that big a deal.” The voice of culture yells, “Follow your heart!” But God’s voice calls us higher, deeper, and truer—to a life rooted in purpose and promise.

Joshua didn’t ask the people to make a future commitment. He didn’t say, “Choose when it’s easier.” He said, “Choose today.” Because the real danger isn’t loud rebellion—it’s silent drift. When we stop choosing God daily, we slowly drift away without even noticing.

Joshua didn’t just choose for himself—he chose for his home. That’s leadership. That’s devotion. And that’s a model for us to follow.

Question of the Day:Whose voice are you listening to today—and what choice is it leading you to make?

Let’s Pray:Lord, help me to silence every voice that pulls me away from You. Give me ears to hear Your truth, and a heart bold enough to choose You daily. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
