Haven't been in in a while and tbh David's Retreat reflection drew me back in today. I just want to honor him and his obedience to the Lord and how he is being called up. It inspires me. Causes me to ask God about where and how He wants me to move in my life in this season of preparation. Keep going my brother. You are crushing it.

❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💔🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Astonished When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m such a sinful man.” For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him. Luke 5:8–9, NLT Peter and his partners had fished all night and caught nothing, but the following morning he obeyed Jesus’ word to let down their nets again, and this time they caught so many fish that their nets began to break. These professional fisherman were astonished by what God did and soon left their nets to follow Jesus. The Scripture says, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” He is going to do some things that will overwhelm you with awe. He’s going to take you further than you’ve imagined. You’re going to overcome obstacles that seem permanent. What God is calling you to do will astonish you. The dream He’s placed in your heart may look impossible to accomplish, but something inside says, “Yes, this is for you.” That’s your destiny calling. This is not the time to let fear hold you back. Now is the time to stir up your faith. Don’t talk yourself out of it; talk yourself into it. Pray bold prayers. Dare to obey Jesus’ words and take steps of faith. Go out and perform awe-inspiring deeds. Prayer For Today “Father, thank You that You are the God who spoke worlds into existence, and You know how to bring astonishing blessings to my net. Help me to start taking steps of faith that open the door to Your favor. I’m going to keep believing Your Word and casting my net. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💔🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Leave It Alone For we who have believed enter that rest. Hebrews 4:3, ESV Sometimes we feel guilty if we’re not doing everything to make something change, to make our finances or health improve, or to get our child back on course. But the Scripture says that those who have believed enter into rest. It’s okay to leave it alone. Give yourself permission to rest, to not worry about it, to not strive. You’ve done your part, now take your hands off. It’s not going to happen by your might to force it, by your power to control it, or by your intellect to manipulate it. It’s going to be the hand of God. He is saying, “Leave it alone. Trust Me to handle it. I’m going to bring the right person, turn your business around, change your child, restore your health.” When you turn it over to Him, it takes the pressure off. You can live in peace, knowing that God’s got this. He’s in control. When it comes time for things to change, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has for you. The question is, Will you trust Him while you’re waiting? Prayer For Today “Father, thank You for providing a place where I can rest in Your grace and strength to fight my battles. Thank You that I can stay in peace and know that You will make things happen that I never could. I believe that You are in control and that You’ll work it all out for good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💔🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️ Upstream Faith But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, the water above that point began backing up a great distance away at a town called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the town of Jericho. Joshua 3:15–16, NLT Joshua was leading the two million Israelites into the Promised Land, but the Jordan River was at flood stage and impassable. In obedience to God’s promise, the priests stepped into the river with the Ark, but nothing happened. Imagine the disappointment of the people who stood watching in great expectation. The priests stood in the water and waited and waited in faith…an hour…then two. The miracle had happened twenty miles upstream; they just couldn’t see it yet. It was just a matter of time before the Israelites saw the effects of what God had already done. Finally the water flow dropped, and the riverbed was dry. When you’re standing in those waters, believing for things to change, waiting for what God promised, stay in the water. Your obedience, stepping into the water, is what set the miracle in motion. And it’s by your obedience of staying in the water that will cause you to see what God has done upstream. Keep believing, keep praising, keep expecting that God is working. If you’re going to see upstream blessings, you have to have upstream faith. Prayer For Today “Father, thank You that You have a plan for my life and that I need not fear stepping into the unknown. Thank You for calling me to follow You into waters that look impossible and to wait for You to bring the blessing. I ask You to make clear the next step that I should take, and I will take it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
