November 2025 Phone Wallpaper

My Friend,

November is here and it's a great time to pause and remember to cultivate an attitude of Thanksgiving and Gratitude.

Here is a new scripture image I put together, featuring Psalm 100:4-5, to share with you for your use as a phone wallpaper.

Download the image or if you're somehow unable to do so, go ahead and screen shot and crop it to use for your wallpaper. Reach out if you have any difficulty.

Take time to respond to The Lord with a heart and attitude of Thanksgiving and Gratitude!

Many blessings!

You're in my prayers.

Your brother and servant in Christ,

Randolph Koch

Speak Words Of Life From God's Word. 🙏

My Friend,

Anxiety and depression are definitely a battle that can wage war for our minds and hearts. It can be crippling sometimes and we need to remember that it's not a battle we can face alone. We need God, His Word, His Holy Spirit, and His people to overcome any anxiety, depression or anything.  When He says cast all your anxiety upon Him because He cares for you, (see 1 Peter 5:7) He means it. When He says come to Him all who are weary and heavy laden, and He will give you rest, (see Matthew 11:28-30) He means it. But the question remains...do we actually do these things are do we try to carry these burdens alone?  Speaking from my own experience and witnessing the experience of others, while our anxiety or depression may drive us to run from God and His Word, as follower's of Christ we need to learn to train ourselves to run to God and His Word.

He is our ultimate help, strength, healer and more Who we need to over come these times.  We all need to speak the truth of His Word ourselves no matter how loud the opposing voices scream otherwise.  Are you anxious? Speak the truth of God's Word to yourself. Is a believing friend anxious? Speak the encouragement and truth of God's Word to them.  Take time to read, study, and take to heart 1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 11:28-30, Proverbs 12:25. May we speak a good word or The Good Word of encouragement from God's Word over our own lives or the lives of others. Speak life from God's Word to those who are facing times of anxiety and depression as He and His Word will bring joy and gladness back to us in place of anxieties and depression we face. (see Proverbs 12:25) Speak a good Word!

What are you allowing to consume or become an idol to you?

My Friend,

What have you allowed to consume or become and idol to you? What have you allowed to get in the way of your relationship with The Lord or become more important than God? 

 

Money, riches, fame, health, and more can consume people or become a "god" in their lives. If we're not careful, we can all fall prey to empty pursuits and idol worship.  

 

It also doesn't help that many "teachers" and "preachers" encourage the flock they are entrusted with serving to seek after riches and in the process, they lose sight of the One who is their true provider and source of eternal riches.

 

We are commanded to have no other "gods" in place of the One True God, and whether we realize it or not, the pursuit of money, riches, success, health, and more, can become our "god". 

It's not bad to have or be blessed with riches but you can't let it or anything else consume you. Especially, don’t allow yourself to love money or anything more than God!

 

Take time to read, study, and take to heart 1 Timothy 6:10, Matthew 22:37, Matthew 6:21,  Matthew 19:24, and Exodus 20:3 for starters. 

 

Don't love money or anything else more than God and make sure you don't have any other "gods" in your life other than Him, The One True God! 

 

God deserves all of you, not just part. So, love Him, seek Him, and serve Him with all your heart, soul, and mind!  

 

You're in my prayers.

Your brother and servant in Christ,

Randolph Koch

The 7 Sayings of Jesus on The Cross YouVersion Devotional. 🙏🏼

My Friend, 

As we enter the Easter / Resurrection season of contemplation and then celebration on Resurrection Sunday, I wanted to share my Free YouVersion Devotional with you titled, "The 7 Sayings Of Jesus On The Cross."

The aim of this 7-Day devotional is to simply help lead us in a time of meaningful contemplation as we study the seven significant sayings of Jesus on The Cross. 🙏

Check out the plan via the following link: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/18966/

I pray that the scriptures and devotional content included in this devotional will truly help lead you in time of meaningful contemplations regarding all God The Father accomplished through His Son Jesus' Sacrifice for you and I so we might have salvation and life in and through Him. 🙏

I also recorded the audio narration of the daily devotion text which is in the app.

If for some reason you don't use the YouVersion Bible App, and you'd still like to study through the plan, please reach out to me here or via rlk@ashepherdsheart.org and I'll send you an eBook / PDF version I created to share when needed.

Have a wonderful and blessed Easter Resurrection celebration! 🙏🙌

Your brother and servant in Christ,

Randolph/Randy Koch
