Day 5

Hungry Prayers, Happy Hearts

Bedtime at our house is always a mix of fun and faith. Some nights it’s stories and songs, and if I’m in charge, there’s probably a dance party thrown in for good measure (whether my wife approves or not is another story). But no matter how the night plays out, we never skip prayer.

When our boys started praying, they’d begin every prayer with: “I hope…” And at first, I almost corrected them. But then I realized—maybe they had it more figured out than I did.

“I hope” is where hunger starts.

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hope gives birth to faith—and faith gives legs to prayer. Hope imagines something better, faith believes it’s possible, and prayer says, “God, let it be done.”

Hope and faith together awaken a hunger for more of God. They stir something deep in our soul that says, “I need to talk to my Father. I need to be near Him. I need to be filled.”

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). That hunger? It doesn’t start with discipline—it starts with desire. With hope that there’s more. With faith that He’s near. With prayer that draws us close.

Let me put it like this: prayer curbs our spiritual appetite. It retrains our cravings. Because let’s be honest—we’ve all reached for something that doesn’t satisfy. Maybe it’s food. Maybe it’s scrolling. Maybe it’s another purchase, another post, another dopamine hit. But prayer? It resets the palate of the soul.

I love candy. Hot Tamales, sour Mike & Ikes, Almond Joys… don’t judge me. And after a few days of crushing sugar, my body crashes—but my cravings keep rising. That’s how spiritual appetite works too. The more you consume empty things, the emptier you feel. But the more time you spend in God’s presence, the more you want what truly satisfies.

Jesus said faith is like a mustard seed (Matthew 13:31–32). It starts small—but when planted, it grows into something strong and life-giving. Prayer is the same. It may feel simple or weak at first, but it grows your joy, strengthens your faith, and deepens your hunger for God.

Romans 4:18 says Abraham hoped against hope—and it was that kind of gritty, soul-deep hunger that positioned him for promise. And Psalm 126:5 reminds us, “Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.”

So what does this mean for us?

It means if you feel spiritually empty, don’t stuff yourself with substitutes.
It means if you’re longing for peace, stop chasing distractions.
It means that when hope rises, and faith follows—prayer becomes the natural response.
And when prayer becomes your rhythm, joy becomes your reality.

Prayer fuels hunger for God, and hunger for God leads to joy.

So keep hoping.
Keep believing.
Keep praying.
And watch how your appetite changes.
Because once you taste the presence of Jesus, nothing else will do.

Devotional Questions:

1. What have I been feeding my soul lately—things that satisfy, or things that leave me empty?

2. Do I see prayer as a last resort or a daily rhythm that shapes my desires?

3. What are the “sugar cravings” in my life that I need to replace with time in God’s presence?

4. How can I stir up my hunger for righteousness in a practical way this week?

5. Where is God inviting me to hope again, even if it feels hard or delayed?

At the end of the day, prayer isn’t just about asking—it’s about trusting. And when you truly believe that God hears you, loves you, and is working on your behalf, hope and joy are the natural responses. So keep praying, keep believing, and keep hoping. Because God is faithful, and joy is coming. 💛✨

Day 4

True Strength is Found in Humility

With four boys, my wife and I spend a lot of time at sports fields, courts, and gyms. And let me tell you, kids today have a swagger about them that’s on another level. When I was growing up, confidence was a thing, but we didn’t have the same phrases they use now. If a kid catches a pass over someone’s head, his teammates yell, “Head top!” If he locks someone down on defense, he might do the seatbelt motion, letting everyone know he strapped ‘em up. But the one that cracks me up the most? After a killer move or a deep three, they’ll shout, “I’M HIM!”

Now, I love the energy and the confidence—I really do. But it’s got me thinking… when did we become so focused on hyping ourselves up instead of humbling ourselves before God?

The Bible flips this whole mindset on its head. Jesus teaches that God does more in and through us when we humbleourselves, not when we put ourselves on a pedestal. Scripture even says that if we exalt ourselves, we’ll be brought low, but if we humble ourselves, God will lift us up (Matthew 23:12). That’s real greatness—not self-promotion, but surrender.

See, joy isn’t found at the top of our accomplishments. It’s found on the bottom shelf, where only those willing to humble themselves can reach it. Proverbs 27:2 lays it out clearly: “Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.” God isn’t against greatness—He’s against pride. He’s not looking for people to shout, “I’m him!” but for those who declare, “He’s Him!”

The Strength of Meekness

Humility is powerful. It attracts grace, opens doors that pride would slam shut, and aligns us with God’s heart. True greatness is rooted in knowing who we are in God and allowing Him to work through us.

But let’s be real—when was the last time you heard someone described as meek? It’s not exactly the go-to word for Instagram bios or LinkedIn profiles. In today’s culture, being bold, outspoken, and extra is celebrated. Meekness, on the other hand, is often misunderstood as weakness.

But check this out—two of the most powerful leaders in Scripture, Moses and Jesus, were described as meek. And neither of them was a pushover. Jesus, the King of Kings, could have come with thunder and fire, demanding honor. But instead, He said this about Himself:

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

—Matthew 11:28-30

Gentle. Humble.

That’s how Jesus described Himself. And when He talked about His heart, He wasn’t just talking about emotions—He meant the very core of who He is. His driving force wasn’t power, prestige, or popularity. It was meekness.

But don’t get it twisted—Jesus was not weak. Meekness isn’t about hiding your strength; it’s about using it under control. It’s knowing where your power really comes from.

Jesus knew He was the Son of God. He knew He had all authority. But over and over again, He pointed back to the Father:

"The Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing." —John 5:19

"The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work."—John 14:10

Jesus wasn’t out there hyping Himself up. He was fully surrendered to the will of God. And that surrender wasn’t weakness—it was the ultimate display of power.

The Joy of Surrender

Real joy isn’t found in proving ourselves. It’s found in trusting that we don’t have to. It’s found in laying down our pride and letting God be the one to lift us up. Jesus showed us that the happiest people aren’t the ones chasing applause—they’re the ones walking in humility, fully surrendered to God’s plan.

Devotional Questions:

Have you ever found yourself trying to "hype yourself up" instead of humbling yourself before God? What was the outcome?
How do you typically respond when someone else gets the recognition or success you wanted?
What does meekness look like in your life right now? Is it something you embrace or struggle with?
Jesus described Himself as gentle and humble—how can you reflect those qualities in your daily interactions?
What’s one area where you need to surrender your strength and rely on God’s instead?
The world tells us to be the greatest. Jesus tells us to serve the greatest. And that’s where real joy is found. 💛🔥

Goodmorning.
They say to spot a counterfeit dollar, you have to get to know the real one, by studying it in detail and get to know the real thing.
So the Lord was showing me this morning, in the same way, to spot deception and not be deceived by thy Antichrist and false prophets in the end time is to get to know the Real Jesus Christ in a deeper relationship with Him. Knowing His True voice, His Word and being led by the Holy Spirit daily. Then we will know the difference. Food for thought. Have a wonderful blessed day. 🙌🏻✝️

Day 3

Joy Bombs: What Are You Focusing On?

Let’s be real—no one makes it through life without getting hit by sorrow at some point. Even though we serve a good and faithful God, the Bible never promises us a life free from pain. Life is this crazy mix of highs and lows, of breathtaking wonder and deep wounds. But here’s the thing: what we choose to focus on shapes our entire experience. Are we going to fix our eyes on the wonder or get stuck staring at the wounds?

When we choose well, we set off what I like to call a joy bomb—those unexpected, powerful moments of joy that explode into our lives and remind us that God is present. Maybe it’s in a stunning sunset, a child’s laughter, a song that hits just right, or a deep moment of peace that makes no sense given your circumstances. These moments don’t erase our pain, but they do remind us that joy is real and available—even in the middle of hardship.

But here’s the catch: if we focus too much on the wounds, we’ll start seeing joy as temporary, fleeting, even insignificant. The reality, though, is that joy has staying power—if we choose to embrace it. Even in hard seasons, choosing to hold onto moments of joy gives us strength and hope to keep moving forward.

Take Thomas, for example. In John 20:24–29, he had the chance to witness something absolutely mind-blowing—Jesus, fully alive and standing in front of him after the crucifixion. Jesus even walked through a wall! And yet, what did Thomas focus on? The wounds. He needed proof, something to touch and feel before he could believe. He glanced at the miracle but fixated on the pain.

Sound familiar? It’s so easy to do the same thing. We get so wrapped up in what’s wrong that we miss what’s right. We let our struggles, doubts, and disappointments steal our focus instead of being in awe of what God is doing. Thomas had the opportunity to be amazed by the presence of Jesus, to be captivated by the fact that the Savior of the world was standing before him, alive and victorious. But instead, he needed to feel the scars first.

This is a reminder that our perspective matters. If we let our emotions define our reality, we risk losing sight of the bigger truth: that God is still working, still showing up, and still filling our lives with moments of wonder. The pain is real, but so is the joy. And when we choose to shift our focus, joy becomes more than just a brief explosion—it becomes part of how we see the world.

Devotional Questions:

Do you find yourself staring at the wounds in your life more than the wonder? Why do you think that is?
What “joy bombs” has God placed in your life recently? Have you taken the time to recognize and appreciate them?
When have you experienced a moment of joy in the middle of a hard season? How did that shape your perspective?
Thomas needed to see and touch Jesus’ wounds before he could fully believe—what kind of "proof" do you find yourself asking for in your faith?
What’s one practical way you can shift your focus toward joy this week, even in the midst of difficulty?
Life is never just one thing—it’s joy and sorrow, beauty and brokenness. But the good news? You get to choose what you stare at. Choose the wonder. 💛✨

Happy are the Spiritually Bankrupt? Wait, What?!
Matt. 5:3
At first glance, Jesus’ words—“Happy are the poor in spirit”—sound kind of backwards, don’t they? How can being “poor” in any sense lead to happiness? But here’s the thing: Jesus wasn’t talking about financial poverty. He was getting at something much deeper.

Being poor in spirit means recognizing that, on our own, we don’t have what it takes. It’s realizing that we’re completely dependent on God, that we can’t muscle our way into joy, peace, or even righteousness. It’s the moment we drop our pride, let go of self-sufficiency, and admit, “God, I need You.”

Oswald Chambers put it like this:
"The knowledge of our own poverty brings us to the moral frontier where Jesus Christ works."

That hits, doesn’t it? The moment we stop pretending we have it all together is the moment we open the door for Jesus to actually do something in us. It’s the space where our efforts end, and His grace begins. And the best part? When we come to Jesus empty-handed, He doesn’t meet us with shame—He meets us with grace. Right there, at the point of surrender, is where real transformation starts.

This isn’t about feeling defeated or worthless—it’s about finally letting go of the exhausting pressure to prove ourselves. It’s understanding that joy doesn’t come from what we achieve, how strong we are, or how put-together our lives look on the outside. Joy comes from knowing we belong to a God who loves us right now, in all our mess, and who promises to fill us with something so much greater than anything we could manufacture on our own.

That’s why Jesus said the poor in spirit are blessed. Because when we stop striving, stop pretending, and start depending on Him, we experience life the way it was meant to be—full of grace, full of peace, and full of joy.

Devotional Questions:

What does being “poor in spirit” mean in your life right now? Are there areas where you’re still holding on to self-sufficiency?

How do you typically try to create joy in your life? Is it through accomplishments, relationships, or external things?

What would it look like for you to truly rely on God’s grace instead of your own strength?

Have you ever experienced joy in a difficult season because you were relying on God rather than your circumstances? How did that change your perspective?

What’s one step you can take today to surrender more fully to God and trust Him to fill you with real, lasting joy?

At the end of the day, the happiest people aren’t the ones who have it all figured out. They’re the ones who know they need Jesus—and let Him take the lead. 💛
