MANNA IN THE MORNING

Ever read something and feel like God is tapping your shoulder saying, “Pay attention to this”?

A single word — “kept” — made me rethink the rhythms I guard and the ones I’ve let slide.

Sometimes Scripture drops a detail so unexpected it feels out of place, however nothing in the Bible is random. Today's reading was exactly that... Israel is being carried off to Babylon, judgment is falling, and then suddenly… we get a sentence about the land needing rest. Every number, every detail of the Word carries significance and the more I sat with it, the more revelation I received.

What if revival isn’t waiting on a new generation, but on a united one — hearts turned as one, remembering that I AM is still on the throne.

It’s wild how one chapter can read like an invitation: slow down, lean in, don’t miss Me here.

Lately, I’ve caught myself noticing what seems to be working for other people — in business, parenting, even faith. It’s not jealousy exactly… more like curiosity mixed with quiet insecurity. That question that sneaks in: What am I missing?

Not all heroes wear capes. Some just keep doing the right thing when no one’s watching.

I’ve been wrestling. Like really wrestling. “Lord, I don’t know what to do with all of this."

Imagine wanting to talk to someone you love or admire, but being told you’re not allowed to. That’s what it was like for most people when it came to Lord's presence. Reading this verse reminded me how much I’ve taken for granted what Jesus made possible. Fo' real

Zechariah wasn’t an enemy; he was calling out what was already happening — a reflection of their disobedience and the distance it creates. This is actually an act of care. Sometimes love looks like truth that makes us uncomfortable. His message wasn’t a curse but a cry — “You’re keeping yourselves from prospering.” God wasn’t giving up on them; He was showing them what happens when they walk away from His covering. That same Father still loves us enough to tell us the trut

Does anyone else get in their own way...or is it just me?!

Today leaves us considering who we have in our most inner circle! It really matters! :)

Imagine being so captivated by who God is that obedience isn’t a burden but a joy. Discipline stops feeling like restriction when you realize it’s actually protection. That’s what it means to delight in His ways. 🌿

Learning to ask before I act is definitely new muscle memory. I desire to follow the Lord's guidance for sure. Not because I’m controlled, but because I don’t want to miss anything the Lord has for me. ✨

The word covenant practically jumped off the page. Why oh why was the Lord impressing this word on me so? It's like the Lord was reminding me that my relationship with Him isn’t a promise of convenience or something casual. It’s intentional.

Reading about Solomon and the Queen of Sheba made me stop and think about what success really costs. Solomon had everything — wisdom, wealth, admiration — yet somewhere along the way, what started as a gift became a trap. It made me look at my own life and ask: have I ever let my strengths blind me to surrender? What a reminder of the power of taking an inventory, not with regret, but with a desire to live differently TODAY — to build a life that takes God’s breath away, not

I can turn Bible reading into a research project. My brain loves patterns, timelines, and meanings, but sometimes that keeps my heart at a distance. So lately I’ve been practicing something different — praying before I open the Word and asking, “Holy Spirit, what do You want to show me today?” It’s changing the way I read.

The Holy Spirit started connecting dots for me. Rehoboam didn’t fall because he turned from God; he fell because he never prepared his heart to follow Him. It’s the same principle we live out in tithing. We give first, not last. We decide ahead of time. Obedience begins the same way—with preparation.

Today we see the Israelites surrounded — front and back — and their first instinct is to cry out to the Lord. Inspiring right! That should always be my first instinct no matter what! I feel inspired!

I’m learning the highest place in the Lords kingdom is often the most surrendered one, AKA, a very humble one.
