MANNA IN THE MORNING

How do I forget that the King of the whole world is in me and with me? I want to get better at asking for the Lord’s strategy—not just in the big, obvious decisions but in the little ones too. The parenting moments. The conversations I replay in my head. The work opportunities. Even my calendar. All of it. What an AHA today! He’s not just available for the major moves. He’s present in the mundane too.

What if God wants to do it differently this time? In 2 Samuel 5:23, David doesn’t assume—he inquires again. A personal reflection on learning to pause, ask, and trust God’s fresh strategy for each moment. How would that not be the move, knowing we have the Lord for anything and everything we may need.

Discover how David’s surrender in 2 Samuel 2 reveals the importance of staying connected to God—not just in hard seasons, but in every season. After nearly nine years of daily Bible reading, I’m learning that fruitfulness isn’t automatic—it’s a reflection of the importance of our closeness to the Source.

Mornings when I open the Word and an answer to my prayers lies right in front of me...I can't imagine what life NOT in the Word would be like. Whew. TGBTG

It's days like this I love to say it out loud, "God is good, God is good to me and God is good at being God!"

This was a hard one for me as I work on my own stuff regarding boundaries, trauma and relational dysfunction. I have so much to learn. Thankful for the Word to learn from!

Reflecting on 1 Samuel 25 and 26, I saw my past in Abigail’s story and my present in David’s restraint. Here's what I'm learning about kindness, strength, and letting God fight my battles.

Ever wanted to clap back but felt God say don’t? Same. This look at David sparing Saul hit me hard—instead of forcing his moment, he waited on God. Maybe it’s not punishment. Maybe it’s protection.
