Where Does My Help Come From?

I don’t know about you, but asking for help is not always my first instinct. My first instinct is usually to figure it out. Make the phone call. Work the problem. Come up with a plan. Fix what I can fix and, if none of that works, then start looking around for somebody who might know what to do. And somewhere along the way, I finally pray. I wish I could tell you I always go to God first, but I don’t. Sometimes I exhaust myself trying to be my own help before remembering where my help actually comes from. Maybe you’ve done that too. Psalm 121 reminds us that before we start searching everywhere else for an answer, there is a better place to look.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.”
— Psalm 121:1–2 (ESV)

Psalm 121:2 gets even stronger when you read verse 1 with it.

The psalmist looks toward the hills and asks a question:

Where does my help come from?

I think most of us have asked our own version of that question.

What am I going to do about this? How am I going to get through this? Who can help me fix this? How am I going to pay for this? And my personal favor, what happens if this doesn’t work out?

We may not be standing at the bottom of a mountain looking up, but we know what it feels like to look at something in front of us and wonder how we’re going to make it through.

And here’s what I love about his answer.

He doesn’t say, “Hopefully something will work out.”

He doesn’t say, “I’m sure I’ll figure it out.”

He says: “My help comes from the LORD.”

That’s confidence.

But then he adds something that almost feels unnecessary:

“who made heaven and earth.”

Why add that? Because sometimes we need to remind ourselves who we are asking for help.

The God you’re praying to this morning isn’t trying to figure out what to do with your situation.

He isn’t overwhelmed by what overwhelms you.

He isn’t looking at the mountain in front of you thinking, That’s a big one.

He made the mountain.

He made heaven and earth.

And if He is powerful enough to create what you can see, He is certainly powerful enough to handle what you cannot see.

That doesn’t mean God will always help us the way we expect Him to.

Sometimes His help changes the circumstances.

Sometimes His help changes us while we’re walking through the circumstances.

Sometimes He opens a door.

Sometimes He closes one we were convinced needed to stay open.

Sometimes He removes the problem.

Sometimes He gives us enough strength to take another step while the problem is still sitting there.

That last one can be difficult.

Because when we ask God for help, we usually already have an idea of what His help should look like.

“Lord, help me.”

And somewhere underneath that prayer is often:

Here’s how.

But trusting God means I don’t just trust His ability to help me. I trust Him to decide what help I actually need.

There’s another beautiful part of Psalm 121. The psalmist doesn’t stop with God’s power. As the psalm continues, he talks about God watching over His people.

He says God will not slumber.

Think about that.

There has never been a moment when God stopped paying attention to you.

You have fallen asleep worrying about something while God remained completely awake.

You have wondered what tomorrow holds while God was already there.

You have been caught off guard by things that never surprised Him.

So maybe today you’re staring at your own mountain.

A decision. A relationship. A financial concern. Something happening with your family. Something at work.
Something you’ve prayed about for months and still don’t understand.

Maybe the mountain isn’t even something happening around you. Maybe it’s something happening inside you.

Whatever it is, Psalm 121 gives us a simple response:

Look higher.

Not because the problem isn’t real.

Not because you should pretend everything is fine.

But because your problem is not the highest thing in your life.

God is.

The mountain may be big.

Your Helper is bigger.

And sometimes faith is simply refusing to stare at the mountain so long that you forget the One who made it.

Action Steps

* Name the mountain. Be specific about what is weighing on you instead of carrying a vague sense of worry. Tell God exactly where you need His help.
* Stop prescribing the answer. Ask God for help today without telling Him exactly how He has to provide it.
* Look higher when worry returns. Every time your mind starts running through the worst-case scenario, answer it with Psalm 121:2: “My help comes from the LORD.”

Challenge for the Day

Identify the one thing you’re most tempted to handle in your own strength today. Pray about it before you do anything else and tell God, “My help comes from You. Show me my next step.”

Prayer

Father, I know where my help comes from. It comes from You. Forgive me for the times I look everywhere else first and come to You last. There are things in front of me today that I cannot control and things I simply do not understand. Help me trust not only that You can help, but that You know what kind of help I need. Keep my eyes above the mountain and fixed on You. Amen.

The Beginning, Not the Finish Line

There’s a big difference between knowing things about God and actually allowing what we know about God to shape the way we live. We can read Scripture, listen to sermons, sit in Bible studies, and collect a lot of information. But Solomon starts Proverbs by pointing us somewhere deeper. Wisdom doesn’t begin with how much we know. It begins with how we see God.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
- Proverbs 1:7 — ESV

The phrase “fear of the LORD” can throw people off.

Solomon isn’t telling us that wisdom begins when we become terrified of God. He’s talking about reverence. Awe. Recognizing who God is and understanding who we are in relationship to Him.

It’s the difference between saying, “God, give me some advice,” and saying, “God, You are God. Teach me.”

Those are two very different postures.

One approaches God like another voice in the room. We listen to Him, but we also listen to our feelings, our friends, our experience, social media, whatever seems logical, and whatever happens to be easiest at the moment. Then we decide which voice we like best.

The other posture recognizes that God gets the final word.

That’s where wisdom begins.

Notice Solomon says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Not the graduation ceremony. Not the advanced course. The beginning.

Before we ask God what we should do with our money, relationships, career, family, habits, or future, there’s a more fundamental question:

Do I actually believe God knows better than I do?

That sounds easy until God’s wisdom conflicts with what we want.

Most of us are pretty comfortable following God when His direction agrees with ours. It gets harder when Scripture challenges something we enjoy, confronts an attitude we’ve justified, tells us to forgive someone we’d rather stay angry with, or asks us to trust God when we can’t see how things are going to work out.

That’s when reverence becomes more than a theological idea.

It becomes obedience.

There’s another part of this verse we shouldn’t skip over: “fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Nobody wants to think of themselves as a fool. But biblically, foolishness isn’t primarily about intelligence. You can be incredibly educated and still live foolishly. You can know a lot and still refuse correction.

One of the clearest signs that wisdom is growing in us is that we become teachable.

Can somebody correct me?

Can Scripture confront me?

Can God show me that something I’ve believed for years is wrong?

Can I hear wisdom from someone else without immediately becoming defensive?

That can be uncomfortable.

Sometimes our first response to correction is to explain ourselves. We want the other person to understand why we did what we did. And sometimes an explanation is appropriate. But there are also moments when the wisest response is simply:

“You’re right. I need to work on that.”

That takes humility.

And humility grows when we have a proper view of God.

The more clearly I see His greatness, the less pressure I feel to pretend I have everything figured out.

Maybe that’s why Solomon starts here.

Before he gives us chapter after chapter of practical wisdom about relationships, money, work, speech, temptation, discipline, integrity, and decision-making, he establishes the foundation:

Start with God.

Not yourself.

Not culture.

Not whatever everybody else is doing.

God.

And when His wisdom collides with ours, wisdom says, “Lord, I trust You more than I trust me.”

That’s not weakness.

That’s where wisdom begins.

Action Steps

* Ask God where you’ve become unteachable. Is there an area where you already have your mind made up and aren’t really interested in what He says?
* Pay attention to your response to correction. Before defending yourself today, stop long enough to ask whether there might be something you need to hear.
* Put one truth into practice. Don’t just read Scripture today. Choose something God has already shown you and obey it.

Challenge for the Day

Identify one area where your way and God’s wisdom have been competing. Today, stop asking God to agree with you and choose to agree with Him.

Prayer

Father, I don’t want to simply know more about You. I want my life to reflect that I trust You. Give me a heart that reveres You, ears willing to hear correction, and the humility to admit when my way is wrong. Teach me Your wisdom, and give me the courage to live it. In Jesus’ name, amen.

What’s Growing in You?

Some things in life can be faked for a little while. We can fake patience through a meeting. We can act joyful when we’re irritated. We can smile at somebody while having an entirely different conversation with them in our head. But eventually, what’s really inside us starts showing up. Paul gives us a different picture of the Christian life. Following Jesus isn’t primarily about trying harder to look like Him. It’s about staying close enough to Him that His Spirit begins producing something different in us.

Today’s verse, Galatians 5:22–23 (ESV) says,

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”

There’s a little word at the beginning of this passage that matters: “But.”

Paul has just described what life looks like when our flesh is running the show. Jealousy. Anger. Rivalries. Envy. Division. Sexual immorality. Drunkenness. It isn’t a pretty list.

But… There is another way to live.

And notice Paul doesn’t call these things the fruit of Jeff trying harder. He calls them the fruit of the Spirit.

That distinction matters because sometimes we approach spiritual growth like a self-improvement project.

“I need to be more patient.”

“I need to control my temper.”

“I need to be more loving.”

“I need to quit worrying.”

Those may all be true. But if our solution is simply to grit our teeth and try harder, eventually we’re going to wear ourselves out.

Think about an apple tree.

You’ll never walk past one and hear it groaning, “Come on… apple… APPLE!”

It produces apples because that’s what it is, and because it is receiving what it needs to live.

Jesus used similar language in John 15 when He talked about abiding in Him. The branch produces fruit because it stays connected to the vine.

That changes the question.

Instead of only asking, “How can I become more patient?”

Maybe we should also ask, “How closely am I walking with Jesus?”

Because the Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out.

And there’s something else worth noticing here.

Paul says fruit, singular.

Not fruits.

We talked about this recently when we described it as one fruit with nine flavors. We don’t get to walk through the list and order à la carte.

“I’ll take love, joy, and peace. Kindness sounds good. Self-control? I’m going to pass on that one.”

The Spirit is forming the character of Christ in us.

And sometimes the best evidence of His work isn’t what happens when everything is going well.

It’s what comes out of us when somebody irritates us. When the plan changes. When somebody says something unfair.

When traffic stops. When the answer from God hasn’t come.
When someone gets something we wanted. When we could say something cutting and choose not to.

Those moments reveal what’s growing inside us.

That doesn’t mean a Christian never gets angry, discouraged, impatient, or frustrated. Spiritual maturity isn’t pretending those emotions don’t exist. The question is whether those emotions control us or whether we surrender them to the Spirit.

And fruit grows gradually.

Nobody plants a tree Monday morning and gets frustrated Tuesday afternoon because there aren’t peaches hanging from it.

Growth takes time.

You may look at your life and think, I still have so far to go.

Probably. And so do I.

But don’t only look at how far you have left. Look at what God has already been growing.

Maybe something that would have sent you over the edge five years ago now sends you to prayer.

Maybe you forgive faster.

Maybe you listen longer.

Maybe your first reaction isn’t always your final response anymore.

Maybe you’re learning to say no to something that used to control you.

That’s fruit.

But there’s also a challenge in this passage we shouldn’t miss. If there is consistently no fruit, we shouldn’t simply shrug our shoulders and say, “Well, that’s just how I am.”

Jesus loves us too much to leave us hiding behind that excuse.

“I’ve always had a temper.”

“I’m just impatient.”

“I’ve never been very forgiving.”

“I just say what I think.”

Those statements may describe where we started. They shouldn’t determine where we stay.

The Holy Spirit is in the business of changing people.

So maybe today the question isn’t, “Do I have all nine of these perfected?”

None of us does.

A better question might be:

What is the Holy Spirit trying to grow in me right now—and am I cooperating with Him?

Maybe it’s patience. Maybe it’s self-control. Maybe it’s gentleness with someone you’ve been pretty hard on. And maybe it’s peace in an area you keep trying to control.

Whatever it is, don’t just try harder today.

Stay connected to Jesus.

Listen when the Spirit corrects you.

Obey when He prompts you.

Repent quickly when you miss it.

Because healthy fruit isn’t manufactured.

It grows from a life surrendered to God.

Action Steps

* Read the list slowly. Ask God which part of the fruit of the Spirit needs the most attention in your life right now.
* Watch your reactions today. Pay particular attention when you’re interrupted, frustrated, disappointed, or challenged. Those moments often reveal what God is working on.
* Practice surrender instead of willpower. When you feel your flesh taking over, stop and pray something simple: “Holy Spirit, lead me here.”

Challenge for the Day

Choose one of the nine qualities in Galatians 5:22–23 that you most need today. Write it somewhere you’ll see it, pray about it, and intentionally give the Holy Spirit room to produce it in the way you respond to people today.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, I don’t want to simply look more like Jesus on the outside. I want You to change what is happening inside of me. Show me where my flesh is still controlling my reactions, attitudes, and choices. Grow Your fruit in my life. Help me stay close to Jesus, listen when You speak, and obey when You lead. May the people around me experience more of Christ because of what You are doing in me. Amen.

When Everything Else Feels Unsteady

There are days when life feels pretty manageable. Then there are days when you realize just how little you actually control. One phone call, one unexpected problem, one piece of news, and suddenly the ground beneath you doesn’t feel nearly as solid as it did yesterday. David knew that feeling. And what he discovered was that security was never found in having everything under control. It was found in knowing where to run when he didn’t.

“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
- Psalm 18:2 (ESV)

David didn’t write this sitting somewhere comfortable, trying to come up with something inspirational.

The opening of the Psalm tells us exactly what was happening. David sang these words after the Lord had delivered him “from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.”

That matters.

Because when David calls God his rock, fortress, deliverer, shield, and stronghold, these weren’t religious words to him. David had hidden in caves. He had run for his life. He knew what it was like to need protection. He knew what it felt like to wonder whether the enemy was going to catch him.

And after all of that, David looked back and realized something.

The cave wasn’t what kept me safe. God did.

That’s a lesson most of us have to learn more than once.

We build our own fortresses.

A healthy bank account can feel like a fortress. A good job can feel like one. Our health can become one. Relationships, plans, insurance policies, routines, even our own ability to figure things out can give us a sense of security.

None of those things are necessarily bad. Wisdom tells us to plan, prepare, save, work, and take care of what God has entrusted to us.

The problem comes when something God gave us becomes something we trust instead of God.

Because eventually every earthly fortress develops cracks.

Jobs change.
Money gets spent.
People disappoint us.
Plans fall apart.

Our bodies remind us that we aren’t twenty-five anymore.

And sometimes something happens that we simply cannot fix.

That’s when we discover what we’ve actually been standing on.

David says, “The LORD is my rock.”

A rock doesn’t promise that the storm won’t come. It gives you something solid to stand on while the storm is happening.

That distinction matters.

Sometimes we think trusting God means believing He will keep difficult things from happening to us. Scripture never makes that promise. David certainly couldn’t have believed that. His life had plenty of trouble.

What David knew was that trouble never got the final word.

God was still there, still faithful, still protecting, and still working.

And eventually, David could look backward and see the hand of God in places where, while he was living through them, he probably saw nothing but trouble.

I think that’s where some of us struggle. We want to understand what God is doing while He is doing it.

Sometimes we will, and sometimes we won’t.

There are moments when faith simply says, “God, I don’t understand this, but I know who You are.”

Notice how personal David makes this verse.

My rock.
My fortress.
My deliverer.
My God.
My shield.
My salvation.
My stronghold.

David wasn’t talking about somebody else’s relationship with God. He knew Him personally.

And there is a big difference between knowing that God is a refuge and actually running to Him as your refuge.

When life gets difficult, where do you run first?

Do you immediately start trying to solve everything yourself?

Do you replay the problem in your mind fifty different ways?

Do you call everybody you know?

Do you assume the worst?

Do you carry it around all day and then finally pray when nothing else works?

I’ve certainly had moments where prayer became the last thing I tried instead of the first place I went.

David gives us a better picture.

Run to the fortress.

Not because you’re weak. Because you know where your strength comes from.

Whatever is sitting in front of you today, God may not remove it immediately. But you do not have to face it standing on your own strength.

You already have a Rock, a Fortress, and a Deliverer.

And when everything around you feels uncertain, God has not moved.

Action Steps

* Identify your fortress. Ask yourself honestly what you’ve been depending on lately to make you feel secure. If it disappeared tomorrow, would your peace disappear with it?
* Run to God first today. Before trying to fix the biggest thing on your mind, bring it to Him. Tell Him plainly what you’re afraid of, worried about, or trying to control.
* Remember a previous rescue. Think about something God has already carried you through. Sometimes remembering yesterday’s faithfulness gives us courage to trust Him with today.

Challenge for the Day

When worry shows up today, don’t immediately start trying to solve the problem. Stop and say, “Lord, You are my rock and my fortress. I’m trusting You with this.” Then move forward from a place of trust instead of fear.

Prayer

Father, You are my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. Forgive me for the times I put my confidence in things that can change instead of You, who never does. When I’m afraid, remind me where to run. When I don’t understand what You’re doing, help me trust who You are. Thank You for being steady when everything around me isn’t. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Grace for Today

There are days when our minds get ahead of us. We’re physically standing in Wednesday, but mentally we’re already living in Thursday, Friday, and three weeks from now. We start solving problems that haven’t happened, answering questions nobody has asked, and carrying weight God never asked us to pick up. Jesus speaks directly to that kind of heart.

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
- Matthew 6:34 — ESV

This verse is sometimes treated like Jesus is simply saying, “Quit worrying.”

But that misses what He has been saying throughout this entire section of the Sermon on the Mount.

Jesus has been talking about food. Clothing. Money. Basic needs. The things people actually lose sleep over.

And right before verse 34, He says:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
— Matthew 6:33

Then comes the “therefore” of verse 34.

In other words, Jesus isn’t telling us to ignore tomorrow. He’s telling us we don’t have to live there yet.

There’s a difference between planning for tomorrow and worrying about tomorrow.

Planning says, “I’m going to prepare wisely for what I know is coming.”

Worry says, “I need to figure out every possible thing that could go wrong so I can somehow control it.”

One is stewardship. The other will wear you out.

I think most of us know what it’s like to have a conversation in our head with someone who isn’t even in the room. We decide what they’re going to say, how we’re going to respond, how badly it might go, and what we’ll do afterward.

By the time we’re finished, we’re upset over a conversation that never happened.

We do the same thing with money.

With our kids.

With our health.

With work.

With relationships.

What if this happens?

What if that doesn’t work out?

What if they say no?

What if something goes wrong?

And pretty soon we’re carrying today’s responsibilities plus tomorrow’s possibilities.

Jesus says you weren’t built to carry both.

Notice He doesn’t promise that tomorrow will be easy. In fact, He says exactly the opposite: tomorrow has enough trouble of its own.

That matters.

Following Jesus does not mean difficult things suddenly stop happening. Faith isn’t pretending there aren’t problems ahead. Faith is trusting that when tomorrow becomes today, God will still be there.

That’s where we get ourselves in trouble.

We want tomorrow’s answers while we’re still standing in today.

We want to know how God is going to provide.

How He’s going to fix it.

How the conversation will turn out.

How the situation will resolve.

Sometimes God gives us those answers ahead of time. Often He doesn’t.

Instead, He gives us what we need for today.

Think about Israel gathering manna in the wilderness. God provided what they needed one day at a time. When they tried to stockpile it because they were afraid tomorrow’s provision might not come, it spoiled.

God was teaching them something bigger than how to gather breakfast.

Trust Me again tomorrow.

That’s hard for people like us who like plans, calendars, backup plans, and backup plans for our backup plans.

But there are some things you cannot prepare your way out of.

Eventually you have to trust God.

And maybe that’s what somebody needs this morning.

You don’t have to figure out the whole week today.

You don’t need an answer this morning for every question you’re going to face this month.

You don’t have to carry something today simply because it might happen tomorrow.

Ask yourself a simple question:

What has God actually given me to do today?

Maybe today you need to make the phone call.

Maybe you need to apologize.

Maybe you need to finish the work sitting in front of you.

Maybe you need to pray instead of running another scenario through your head.

Maybe you simply need to be fully present with the people God has put around you.

Do that.

Then when tomorrow comes, deal with tomorrow.

God isn’t asking you to trust Him today for everything you’ll ever face.

He’s asking you to trust Him today.

And tomorrow morning?

We’ll do it again.

Action Steps

* Separate planning from worrying. If there is something practical you can do about a concern, do it. If there isn’t, stop rehearsing it and give it to God.
* Ask what belongs to today. Write down the two or three things God has actually put in front of you today and give those your attention.
* Pray specifically about tomorrow. Name the thing you’re worried about, then tell God plainly, “I don’t know what will happen, but I trust You to meet me there.”

Challenge for the Day

When you catch yourself worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet, stop and ask, “Is this today’s responsibility or tomorrow’s possibility?” If it’s tomorrow’s, give it back to God and return your attention to what He’s given you today.

Prayer

Father, I spend too much time trying to live days that haven’t arrived yet. Help me be faithful with today. Give me wisdom for what I can do, peace about what I cannot control, and enough trust to believe that when tomorrow comes, You will already be there. Teach me to seek You first and leave tomorrow in Your hands. In Jesus’ name, amen.

You Already Have What You Need

There are times when following Jesus feels like standing in front of a job that is bigger than the tools we have. We know the kind of person we want to be. We know there are attitudes that need to change, habits that need to go, relationships that need some work, and places where our faith needs to grow. And sometimes we quietly think, I just don’t know if I have what it takes. Peter gives us an answer that might surprise us: God has already supplied what we need.

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.”
- 2 Peter 1:3 — ESV

There are two very different ways to live the Christian life.

One is constantly asking God to give us something we think we’re missing.

God, give me more strength.
Give me more patience.
Give me what I need to forgive.
Give me the courage to do what You’re asking me to do.

There’s nothing wrong with asking God for help. We should. But Peter reminds us of something we can easily forget: God isn’t sending us into life spiritually empty-handed.

His divine power has already given us what we need for “life and godliness.”

That word all matters.

Not some things.

Not enough to get started and then we’re on our own.

All things.

That doesn’t mean God has given us everything we want. He hasn’t promised an easy life, a trouble-free family, financial comfort, perfect health, or circumstances that always make sense.

He has promised something better.

Whatever we face, He will provide what we need to live faithfully through it.

Think about the difference.

Sometimes we’re asking God to remove the difficult person when He’s giving us the patience to love them.

We’re asking Him to eliminate the problem when He’s developing perseverance in us.

We’re asking Him to make the decision obvious when He’s teaching us to trust Him.

We’re asking Him to change our circumstances while He’s working on changing us.

And that can be frustrating because we usually prefer God to fix what’s around us before He starts working on what’s inside us.

Peter doesn’t say this power comes from trying harder either. He says it comes “through the knowledge of Him.”

Christian growth isn’t primarily about becoming more disciplined at religious behavior. It grows out of knowing Jesus.

The closer I walk with Him, the more His character begins showing up in me.

That’s why the verses immediately following this one are so practical. Peter starts talking about faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love.

In other words, God supplies the power, but we still have to participate in the growth.

You can have a garage full of tools and still never repair anything.

You can own a Bible and never open it.

You can have access to prayer and never pray.

You can have Christian friends willing to speak truth into your life and never listen.

You can have the Holy Spirit convicting you about something and keep saying, Maybe tomorrow.

God providing what we need doesn’t remove our responsibility to use what He has provided.

Maybe that’s where some of us get stuck.

We’re waiting for God to give us something new while He’s waiting for us to use what He has already given us.

You may already know the conversation you need to have.

You may already know what you need to stop doing.

You may already know the apology you need to make.

You may already know that you need to forgive someone.

You may already know that your Bible needs to be opened more often and your phone needs to be opened a little less.

Sometimes we don’t need another sign.

We need obedience.

And there’s something incredibly freeing about Peter’s words because they remove one of our favorite excuses:

“I can’t.”

Maybe you can’t on your own.

Actually, there are plenty of things you absolutely cannot do on your own.

But you aren’t on your own.

The same God who called you has given you His Spirit. His Word. His promises. His wisdom. His presence. His people.

So when God calls you toward something that requires courage, patience, forgiveness, integrity, generosity, purity, perseverance, or love, you don’t have to wonder whether He has given you enough.

He has.

The question becomes:

Am I using what He has already given me?

Action Steps

* Identify where you’ve been saying, “I can’t.” Ask yourself whether it truly means I can’t or whether sometimes it means I don’t want to, I’m afraid to, or I haven’t trusted God enough to try.
* Use one thing God has already provided. Open Scripture. Pray about the decision. Call the mature Christian friend. Extend forgiveness. Have the conversation. Take the next obedient step instead of waiting for another sign.
* Spend time knowing Jesus, not merely asking things from Jesus. Before bringing Him your list today, spend a few minutes simply thanking Him for who He is and what He has already given you.

Challenge for the Day

Stop asking God for something new long enough to ask, “What have You already given me that I’m not using?” Then act on the answer today.

Prayer

Father, thank You that You have not called me to follow You and then left me to figure it out by myself. You have given me what I need to live faithfully and become more like Jesus. Forgive me for the times I keep asking for more while ignoring what You have already placed in my hands. Show me where I need to trust You, obey You, and take the next step. Help me live today in the strength You provide instead of depending on my own. In Jesus’ name, amen.
