We often measure ourselves by what has already happened—what we wish we had done differently, or what we think should have gone better. Yet God continually calls us into the present moment, where His grace is active and His strength is available. Today is where God meets us, renews us, and invites us to move forward with Him.

Philippians 3:13–14 (KJV)Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

As we trust in our all powerful and all knowing God and wait on His timing we find strength in the truth that His will will be manifest at the right time.

Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Dealing with disappointment starts with recognizing that God is in sovereign and is always working to provide the very best for us. Let’s choose to walk forward in believing, knowing that even our deepest sorrows can become the soil for God’s greatest works in our lives.

Romans 8:28 (KJV)

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

There are moments in life when obedience to God calls us into the unknown. We may be asked to take a step that feels risky, to speak truth when silence would be easier, or to let go of something we deeply value. Obedience often requires us to trust beyond what we can see, to surrender outcomes that we cannot control. When we walk by believing, we anchor ourselves not in our understanding, but in the unchanging character of God. He is not only aware of the consequences of our obedience—He is already working in them.

Romans 8:28 (KJV)

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

There are times when we feel vulnerable—when life seems to press in on every side. Whether we’re stepping into the unknown, recovering from a past hurt, or simply trying to stay strong in the present, we often wonder: Who's looking out for us? The good news is this: God surrounds us completely. He’s not just leading us forward—He’s guarding every direction of our lives.

Isaiah 52:12 (KJV)For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.

There are moments in life when fear creeps in and discouragement tries to take root. Whether we face uncertainty about the future, overwhelming responsibilities, or deep personal trials, the weight can feel heavy. In those moments, we must remember that we are never alone. The promises of God stand firm, unshaken by our circumstances. One such promise is found in the book of Deuteronomy—a timeless reminder for every generation.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

There are many voices competing for our attention—opinions, trends, media, and even our own insecurities. It’s easy to adopt the world’s perspective without even realizing it. But when we pause and seek to see life through God's eyes, we are invited into a way of thinking and living that brings clarity, purpose, and peace. God doesn't just want to adjust our actions—He wants to transform our minds so that we see everything, including ourselves and others, the way He does.

Romans 12:2 (KJV):

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

When God opens a door, it’s not a moment to hesitate or second-guess. It’s a call to move forward in believing. We don’t walk through based on our own strength, but with confidence in the One who opened the door. It’s not like standing at the free-throw line in a high-stakes game, sweating and hoping we’ll succeed. When God sets a door before us, He invites us to step into His plan—backed by His power, surrounded by His grace, and assured of His purpose.

Revelation 3:8 (KJV)I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

There are times when we feel drained, even when our bodies are well-fed. When we only work for our own gain or our own agenda, we often find ourselves longing for something deeper, something that satisfies the soul beyond what any earthly provision can offer. Jesus pointed to a source of strength and satisfaction that goes beyond food or drink and beyond the satisfaction that comes from working for our agenda—this is a nourishment that comes from living out God's will. This deeper fulfillment is available to us as we align our lives with His purpose.

John 4:34 (KJV):

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

As we step into 2026, we do so with a powerful declaration from the Word of God: '

Proverbs 18:16 (KJV)

A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.'

This year, we focus on the truth that every good and perfect gift comes from above — and when used for God's glory, it opens doors, creates divine appointments, and positions us for purpose.

In 2026, let us stir up the gifts God has placed within us, knowing they are not for vanity, but for His glory. Your God-given gift will make room for you — not by man's doing, but by the providence of the Lord.

Join us this year as we walk in our calling, honor the Giver of every gift, and trust Him to bring us before those He has ordained for His purpose.
