Scripture: “For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.” – Psalm 66:10 Devotion: Gold is purified by fire, and so are we. Refining burns away what does not belong, leaving only what is pure. Trials may feel painful, but they are removing pride, selfishness, and sin so that Christ can shine in you. Don’t despise the fire—it is proof that God is making you holy. The refining process is not punishment, but preparation for greater glory.

Good morning! I haven’t posted in the last 10 days after being sick and being wrapped up in big ‘life’ things. I’m starting my day with a shake to work towards my protein goal. I made a banana nut bread shake this morning. I added extra protein to it as well as fiber, probiotic, and Prolessa duo.

Scripture: “Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” — Matthew 6:6 One of the hardest parts of following Jesus is learning to trust Him in the hidden seasons. There are moments when you’re praying, seeking God, reading His Word, and trying to live right—but it feels like no one notices. No applause. No recognition. Just obedience. But heaven sees it all. Jesus reminds us that the Father sees what is done in secret. Every quiet prayer. Every act of obedience. Every moment you choose faith over frustration. What feels unseen on earth is fully seen by God. Many of the greatest works God does in our lives happen in the secret place. Roots grow underground before fruit appears above the surface. Character is built when no one is watching. If you feel like you’re in a hidden season right now, don’t grow weary. God is working. Your prayers are not wasted. Your obedience is not ignored. Your faithfulness is not forgotten. In the right time, what God is doing in secret will produce fruit that everyone can see. Stay faithful in the hidden place.
