Monday
We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
- Revelation 1:8
Have you ever noticed how we often approach God with our own plans, hoping He'll bless them? We dream big dreams, set ambitious goals, and then ask God to make them happen. But what if we've got it backwards? True biblical vision doesn't start with us seeing something—it starts with God saying something. Before we can have any meaningful direction in life, we need to hear from Him first. This completely flips our understanding of how faith works. Think about it: when you're lost and need directions, you don't start by telling someone where you think you should go. You listen to someone who knows the way. God knows the way for your life better than you do, and He's already spoken through His Word. This doesn't mean God is silent about your specific circumstances. Rather, it means that before we can understand His specific guidance for our lives, we must first understand what He's already revealed about Himself, His character, and His ways. When we start with God's voice instead of our own vision, everything changes. Our prayers shift from 'God, please bless my plans' to 'God, help me understand Your plans.' Our decisions become less about what we want and more about what aligns with who He is. This is incredibly freeing! Instead of the pressure to figure everything out on our own, we can rest in the confidence that God has already spoken. We don't have to generate vision from within ourselves—we simply need to listen to what He's already said and align our lives accordingly. Today, consider approaching God not with your agenda, but with open ears, ready to hear what He's already revealed about how you should live.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
Memory Verse
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
