It’s Saturday and the perfect opportunity to reflect and put the week (or maybe even life) in perspective. Each day, we take care of our minds, our bodies, and our souls. How many times can we honestly say we take time to prune negative mindsets or beliefs hindering our walk with God?
How often do you care for your Spirit?
I’ll share a few questions we can all reflect on each week. My hope is that we’ll uncover something to lay at the father’s feet; something to uproot and replace with God’s truth.
God is limitless. In what ways are you limiting God by not allowing Him to show up in the fullness of who He truly is?
After reflecting, is there something that you’ve discovered that needs to be released to the Lord?
Take a moment to pray and surrender it at Jesus’ feet. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to truth in the Lord’s word. Embrace God’s divine wisdom and thank Him for being present in every situation, past, and future.

I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination.

In my own life, I’ve found that I’m not prone to wander towards my father’s business….but away from it.
As a child, nothing compared to the excitement of being able to sit up and waiting for New Year’s Day. We’d sit up as long as possible on December 31st awaiting the coming year. We knew what was coming, yet we had to watch the clock or we’d miss it. In this passage, Jesus reminds us of the signs before his second coming. He teaches that in order to recognize the second coming, we must stay alert. These verses prompt us to be mindful of the state of our hearts and to stay ready at all times for the coming day of God’s judgment.
REFLECTION – Do you find yourself growing weary in your walk with the Lord? How can you stay encouraged and ready for Jesus Christ’s second coming?
I know that most people are in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the season, but December always reminds me to slow down and reflect. It’s something about the cold weather that forces me to cozy up and sit still… I believe the stillness opens
