“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 The third gift in The Twelve Days of Christmas carries a powerful message about God’s provision. In the 16th century, French hens were rare and costly—reserved for kings and wealthy households. In this song, they symbolized the extravagant gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh brought to Jesus by the wise men. God didn’t just send His Son—He fully provided for His earthly mission. Through those gifts, the Father funded Jesus’ protection, provision, and Kingdom assignment. The same God who provided for Jesus is still Jehovah Jireh today. When you seek His Kingdom first, you can trust Him to supply everything you need for the assignment He’s given you. Question to ponder: Where might God be inviting you to trust Him as your Provider as you put His Kingdom first today? If you missed the previous days in this series, you can go back and start from the beginning!

We haven't used our "prayer request" tab yet, so I'll start! Please add yours here too!!! My husband, Don, had surgery to place a stent in an artery on Monday, but unfortunately, had a stroke during the surgery. He has weakness on his left side and will be in acute rehab for several weeks. We are believing for total restoration for him and strength and grace for me. Here's the verse God gave me last night. Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength! Be watching soon, I plan to schedule a live zoom meet and greet so we can get to know each other better! Have a blessed and prosperous day!
