This Day With God – A Spiritual Journey | Share The Word

The Spiritual Journey Continues Through the Book of Colossians Next

Posted on January 2, 2026 by Mark Shields

I’ve completed the spiritual journey through the book of Obadiah, and now I’m turning to the book of Colossians for fresh insight and encouragement. For your convenience, I’ve included a link to all the devotionals I’ve shared so far, organized by book of the Bible and specific chapter—making it easy to revisit any reflection that speaks to you. My hope is that these devotionals will continue to inspire and uplift you as we grow in faith together. Thank you for walking this path with me—it’s a joy to share the journey.

🎶New Year Song 01-01-2026

Posted on December 31, 2025 by Mark Shields

I hope you will be blessed this upcoming New Year. This song is inspired by all the sporting events this time of the year and the ones starting up in a few months. It takes discipline and teamwork to compete in any sport. The same qualities are also needed in building our faith. This day with God, keep the body in which Christ lives both physically and spiritually fit. Build up muscles of faith, seek Truth, experience joy, and recognize wonder.

🏅Champions

Posted on December 31, 2025 by Mark Shields

In sports and in life,
there are habits to begin,
and the first one to try
is planning to win.

Everyone who competes
shares one common goal—
in golf, it’s guiding
the ball to the hole.

In basketball, it’s aiming
for the basket so small,
winning many games
to reach March Madness tall.

In baseball or softball,
Its teamwork displayed,
helping a friend
round the bases to home plate.

In track, it’s the runner
with pace to refine,
faster and faster,
until reaching their prime.

The great thing in sports
is that goals are defined,
and as we aspire this year in life,
let us keep this in mind.

I hope you will be blessed this upcoming New Year. This poem is inspired by all the sporting events this time of the year and the ones starting up in a few months. It takes discipline and teamwork to compete in any sport. The same qualities are also needed in building our faith. This day with God, keep the body in which Christ lives both physically and spiritually fit. Build up muscles of faith, seek Truth, experience joy, and recognize wonder.

Stepping Into the New Year

Posted on December 30, 2025 by Mark Shields

Scripture: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” – Isaiah 43:19

Reflection: As we step into a new year, we are invited to see Christ in Christmas and beyond. God is always doing something new, calling us to walk forward in faith.

Prayer Prompt: Lord, help me step into the New Year with hope, courage, and eyes fixed on You
