It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that our achievements and potential are entirely the result of our own efforts. However, everything we have—our gifts, opportunities, and blessings—comes from God. Paul’s words in Galatians remind us to rely on the Spirit, not just on our own strength. When we begin with God, we must continue to walk with Him, trusting His guidance. God calls us beyond just seeing our potential; He calls us to lean into His power. Our true purpose is not something we create on our own but something He births within us when we trust and obey Him.

Let today be a reminder to release the pressure of "doing it all" on your own. God’s power works best when we acknowledge Him as the source of all good things in our lives. Step back from striving and let His Spirit lead the way. Trust Him to guide you into something greater than you could ever accomplish alone.

Thank you for joining me today! Be sure to reflect on the truths from Day 42: Power over Potential, and let’s continue to walk together on this journey of believing bigger. 💕

Worship from the Serve pt 3 series. During our service our power substation went out and power for the whole neighborhood went out.

In today’s devotional, The Faith Formula, we are reminded that prayer is the pathway to the heart of God and that belief is the key that allows our prayers to pass through. Whether you’re taking your first steps of faith or believing God for something monumental, this message is a powerful reminder that God meets us wherever we are and has something bigger in store for us.

Spend time in intentional prayer today. Pour out your heart to God, and align your prayers with His promises. No matter how big or small your request may seem, trust Him fully and believe He has something amazing planned for you.

Welcome to Day 40 of 100 Days of Believing Bigger! Today’s devotional, Beyond Betrayal, takes us on a journey of healing and freedom by aligning our hearts with God’s Word. Betrayal and hurt are painful, but they don’t have to define us. God invites us to see others—and ourselves—through His eyes of grace, love, and forgiveness.

Today’s Reflection:

Betrayal can leave lasting scars, but God’s power is greater than any pain we face. When we surrender our hurts to Him, He works in our hearts to bring healing and peace. By shifting our focus to God’s truth, we can move beyond the pain, forgive those who hurt us, and find the freedom that only He can provide.

Key Takeaways:

Seeing Through God’s Eyes: Let God reshape your perspective to view people as He does—with love and grace.

Healing Through Forgiveness: Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the hurt; it’s about releasing yourself from its power over you.

Freedom in Christ: Moving beyond betrayal allows you to walk in the peace, joy, and purpose God has for your life.

Take a moment to pray and ask God to help you release any bitterness or pain caused by betrayal. Write down the names of those you need to forgive and surrender them to Him. Trust God to heal your heart and guide you toward freedom.

God’s love for you is greater than any betrayal you’ve experienced. Lean into His truth, trust Him with your pain, and allow Him to do a miraculous work in your heart. There is beauty, healing, and freedom waiting for you beyond the betrayal.

Thank you for joining me today! If this message blessed you, don’t forget to subscribe, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and let God’s truth transform your heart.

Today’s devotional challenges us to discern between worldly giants and spiritual giants. Are we allowing “false Goliaths” to divert our attention, or are we rising like David to become true spiritual giants? Let’s refocus on God and not be overwhelmed by what appears to be giants in our lives but are actually distractions.

Identifying “False Goliaths”: These are the challenges, fears, or distractions that feel overwhelming but are not as powerful as they seem. Recognizing these “false giants” helps us keep our perspective grounded in faith rather than fear.

Being a Spiritual Giant: Like David, we’re called to rely on God’s strength and wisdom to confront and overcome. Becoming a spiritual giant involves trusting God over appearances and holding on to His promises.

Avoiding Distractions: False Goliaths can pull our focus away from God, making us more vulnerable to doubt. Staying centered on God’s truth is key to maintaining spiritual strength.

Action Step:

Today, identify any “false Goliaths” you might be facing. Pray for clarity and strength to see beyond appearances and to focus on God’s promises, knowing that true giants of faith stand firm in Him.

Let’s take courage, just like David, knowing that our strength comes from God. When we rely on Him and resist the distraction of false giants, we can walk in victory and purpose!
