I have shared this before, but I stand amazed every week while planning out the Sunday school lesson. Every week I have a dayword that has something to do with the lesson I am planning. A few weeks ago, my dayword was, "Set a fire down in my soul." The theme of the lesson was “God's word as a fire.”

The week after that, my dayword was, "Water runs deep." The theme of the lesson was "God's word as a fountain.” God is so good!

A few friends and I started to cultivate a lifestyle where we speak life over one another and those around us. It seems so easy or even meaningless, but I stand amazed at the impact it has been having in my life!
I find myself facing intimidations or situations with so much more confidence than usual! The life people are speaking over me is giving me the courage and the confidence to do things I previously didn't believe I ever could! I am so grateful that God placed these people in my life to speak His Truth over me when I struggle to see it.
It has been so fulfilling to speak life into others and to see how they light up as God’s truth is spoken over them.
I want to encourage you to go out and speak life over those around you – strangers or friends. Be the life and light that people need! And watch how they come alive when those words impact them! He is so good!

Recently, I felt hopeless and that there was nothing that I could do about what was happening in my life. I did not know where to go, and I felt like God was being silent. I couldn’t hear His voice.
At a certain point, I felt the Holy Spirit speaking to me and told me to check my daily devotions. It was truly a blessing to me how, despite my circumstances at home and in my heart, God still let me know that He will strengthen me and help me.
Sometimes our emotions are influenced by the enemy to make us feel that our situation is hopeless or that God has left us. If that is how you feel, then I want to encourage you with Isaiah 41, and remind you that God is still with you. Don’t be afraid or confused; He is your God, and He has promised to strenghten you and help you.
He will also uphold you with His right hand of righteousness. This should make you wipe away your tears and celebrate the Word of God. When you meditate on this Word and celebrate Him, power and grace are released to you. You will then have enough energy and backing of the Spirit of God to move on to accomplish what God has committed to you. Know that God will not leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5) Hallelujah!
Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strenghten thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
