HE KNOWS

Isaiah 65:24
“It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.”

There is something incredibly comforting about knowing that God doesn't have to wait for us to explain the situation before He understands it. Before we ever bow our heads to pray, He knows.

He knows the need we haven't discovered yet. He knows the conversation we don't know we're going to have. He knows the decision that will be placed before us. He knows what will happen tomorrow while we are still trying to make sense of today.

And Isaiah gives us this beautiful picture of God: “Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.” What a reminder that prayer isn't about informing God. We aren't bringing Him breaking news. When we pray, we are bringing our needs to the One who already knows them completely. And sometimes, He has already begun putting things into place before we ever realize we are going to need them.

Think about how often that happens. Someone calls at exactly the right time. A door opens that we didn't know we would need opened. Someone offers help before we ever ask. A Scripture speaks directly into something we are facing. A song speaks to our heart. Something that seemed like an inconvenience yesterday turns out to be God's provision today. Some may call those things coincidences but as most of you know I do not believe in coincidences - they are God-incidences. They are glimpses of a God who was already at work.

That doesn't mean God always answers our prayers before we finish praying, or that His answer will always be what we hoped for. Isaiah 65 ultimately points toward God's promised restoration and the future He is preparing for His people. But it reveals something beautiful about His heart: God is attentive to His people. He hears. He knows. He cares. And He is at work in ways we may not yet be able to see.

Maybe you are facing something today and don't even know how to pray about it yet. You don't have to have all the words. You don't have to understand everything that is happening. You don't have to tell God something He somehow missed. Just come to Him. Because while you are still trying to understand the need, God already knows. While you are wondering what tomorrow will bring, God is already there. And while the prayer is still forming in your heart, He is listening.

What peace there is in knowing that we are never bringing our needs to an unaware God. He knew before we asked. And He was already at work. I simply love that about the God we worship! Thank You Lord!

Trusting the One Who Knows,
Pastor Kathy

Gracious Father, thank You for knowing our needs before we ever speak them. When we don't understand what is happening or even know what to ask, help us trust that nothing has escaped Your attention. Open our eyes to the ways You are already working around us. Give us patience when we cannot yet see the answer and faith to trust Your wisdom and timing. Thank You for hearing us, knowing us, and caring for us even before the words leave our lips. In Jesus' powerful name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
Can you remember a time when you realized God had been preparing something before you even knew you would need it? What are you facing today that you need to trust God is already aware of and already at work in?

HE IS ALREADY THERE!

Deuteronomy 31:8
“And the LORD is the one who is going ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not desert you or abandon you. Do not fear and do not be dismayed.”

Tomorrow can be frightening when we don't know what is waiting for us there. Sometimes it's something specific—a doctor's appointment, an important conversation, a decision, a meeting, or a change we didn't choose. And sometimes it's simply the uncertainty of life.

We know where we are today. We just don't know what tomorrow holds. But there is a beautiful promise tucked inside Deuteronomy 31:8: “The LORD is the one who is going ahead of you.”

We often talk about God going with us, and He does. But Scripture says He also goes before us. Before you enter that room, God is there. Before the phone rings, God is there. Before you hear the answer, God is there. Before you begin the next chapter, God is there. Before tomorrow ever becomes today, God is already there. I love that!

We tend to imagine the future as unknown territory because it is unknown to us. But it isn't unknown to God. There is nowhere we will ever go where His presence cannot reach us.

Psalm 139 asks, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?” The answer is nowhere.

Whatever tomorrow contains, you will not arrive there and discover that God somehow failed to make the journey. And notice what God promises after saying He goes ahead: “He will be with you.” The God who goes before you is also the God who stays with you. That doesn't mean tomorrow will always be easy. It means you never have to face tomorrow alone.

Yesterday, I received one of those little reminders of God's presence. I love those God moments! I had placed my bag of “Lil Jesus” figures on my seat, and it fell over. Of course, I hadn't zipped the bag closed, so several things spilled out. But what fell out caught my attention—two Lil Jesus figures and a little scrap of paper shaped like a heart.

There it was again—a heart. Random? Maybe some would call it that. But for me, it was another God sighting, one of those little encounters that stops me for a moment and reminds me, God is with me. It was a simple, tangible reminder of the very promise in this Scripture: wherever I am going, He is already there, and He will be with me when I arrive.

Perhaps instead of allowing our minds to continually ask, “What if something happens?” we can begin asking a different question: “Whatever happens, who will be there?” Scripture has already answered.

God will. We are never walking into a future God hasn't reached yet.

Trusting Him With Tomorrow,
Pastor Kathy

Gracious Lord, You know what lies ahead of us even when we don't. When we become afraid of tomorrow, remind us that You are already there and that You will never leave us. Give us courage to face what comes, peace when we cannot control the outcome, and confidence to trust You with what we cannot yet see. Help us remember that no matter where tomorrow takes us, Your presence will be there. In Jesus' powerful name, Amen.

ENOUGH LIGHT

Psalm 119:105
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Matthew 6:34
“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

I don't know about you, but there are times when I would really like God to give me the whole plan. Where is this going? How is this going to work out? What happens after this? And perhaps most importantly—what am I supposed to do?

We want clarity. We want to know what's coming so we can prepare for it, fix it, avoid it, or at least stop wondering about it. But Psalm 119 gives us a very different picture. God's Word is described as a lamp. A lamp doesn't illuminate everything in the distance. It gives light where we are. Maybe there is something important in that.

Jesus said something similar when He told His disciples, “Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself.” He wasn't telling them that tomorrow didn't matter. He was teaching them that they didn't have to carry tomorrow before it arrived.

How often do we do exactly that? We are living on Tuesday but carrying Thursday's worries. We are trying to solve a problem that hasn't happened yet, answer a question God hasn't answered yet, or prepare ourselves for circumstances that may never come. Meanwhile, God is present here.

He gives us wisdom for what is before us now. Strength for what this day requires. Grace for what we are facing in this moment. His Word reminds us of what is true when our minds begin wandering into all the what ifs of tomorrow.

Abraham left home without knowing exactly where God was taking him. The Israelites gathered manna one day at a time. Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” There is a pattern throughout Scripture of God inviting His people to depend upon Him for what they need today.

That doesn't mean we never plan for tomorrow. Scripture certainly teaches wisdom and preparation. But planning for tomorrow and living in tomorrow's anxiety are two very different things.

Perhaps there is something ahead of you right now that you desperately want God to explain. You want to know how it will turn out. You want an answer, a timeline, some assurance that everything is going to be okay. And perhaps God's answer for today isn't an explanation.

Perhaps it is simply His presence.

His Word is still a lamp. His Spirit is still guiding. His grace is still sufficient. And the God who is with you today will already be waiting for you when tomorrow arrives. You don't need tomorrow's light today. You only need enough light to live faithfully where God has placed you now. Because the One who already knows your tomorrow is faithfully walking with you today.

Walking in His Light,
Pastor Kathy

Prayer:
Lord, we confess that we often want answers about tomorrow before tomorrow ever comes. We carry questions, possibilities, and worries that You never asked us to carry today. Help us stay close to You in the present. Let Your Word illuminate what is true, Your Spirit guide us in what is before us, and Your presence quiet the worries that pull our hearts into the future. Give us the wisdom, strength, grace, and light we need for today, and help us trust You with everything that comes after it. In Your powerful name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
What worry about tomorrow are you carrying today that you need to place back into God's hands? What would it look like to trust that God has already given you enough light for today?

TOO DEEP FOR WORDS!

Romans 8:26
“In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”

Have you ever wanted to pray but simply didn't know what to say? Sometimes the situation is so complicated that we don't even know what to ask God to do. Other times the hurt is so deep that words seem inadequate. We sit before God with a thousand thoughts running through our minds, but we can't turn any of them into a prayer. Maybe all we can manage is, “Lord, help.” Romans 8 tells us something beautiful about those moments: our weakness does not stop prayer. Paul says, “the Spirit also helps our weakness.” I love the word “helps".

The Holy Spirit doesn't stand at a distance waiting for us to pull ourselves together. He comes alongside us in our weakness. And when we don't know what to pray, He intercedes for us. That means prayer isn't dependent upon our ability to find perfect words. Prayer is not a performance. It is the heart turning toward God. God understands the prayer behind the tears. He understands the sigh that escapes when you don't know what else to do. He understands the silence when your heart is too heavy to speak. He understands the prayer that is nothing more than whispering the name “Jesus.”

There may be something in your life today that you have prayed about so many times that you don't know what else to say. You don't have to find something new to say. Simply come and sit in His presence. Give Him the burden again. And trust the Holy Spirit to do what Scripture says He does: help you in your weakness and carry before God what you cannot put into words.

Sometimes the deepest prayer we pray doesn't have words at all. And God still hears. He hears the cries of our hearts. He knows what we need even when we don't know what to ask. Our silence is not empty when it is offered to God—the Holy Spirit is at work even there. Oh, what a glorious Lord we serve!

Sitting in His Presence,
Pastor Kathy

Holy Spirit, there are things in our hearts today that we don't know how to put into words. You know every fear, every question, every disappointment, and every hope. Help us in our weaknesses. Take what we cannot express and carry it before the Father. Teach us to trust that even in our silence, we are heard. In Jesus' powerful name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
Is there something you have stopped praying about because you simply don't know what else to say? Could you spend a few quiet moments today simply sitting with God and trusting the Holy Spirit to pray what you cannot?

THE END OF WHAT WE CAN SEE

Genesis 21:19
“Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.”

Have you ever reached a place where you simply couldn't see what came next? You have looked at the situation from every angle. You have prayed. You have waited. You have tried to figure it out. But no matter how hard you look, you still cannot see a way forward. Hagar knew that feeling. She is in the wilderness with her son Ishmael. Their water is gone, and Hagar has become convinced that there is no hope left. She places Ishmael beneath a bush, walks away, and begins to weep.

From where Hagar is sitting, the story is over. But what Hagar can see is not the whole story. God hears Ishmael. He speaks to Hagar. He reminds her that her son's life still has a future. And then Scripture gives us this beautiful sentence: “Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.”

Hagar couldn't see what she needed—but God could. And maybe there are times when we need to remember that our inability to see a way forward does not mean there isn't one. We see this moment. God sees beyond it. We see the problem in front of us. God sees possibilities we haven't imagined. We see the unanswered question. God already knows what lies on the other side of it.

That doesn't mean every difficult situation will suddenly change or that every answer will look the way we hoped. Sometimes God's provision is a changed circumstance. Sometimes it is strength for another day, wisdom for the next decision, someone who comes alongside us, or simply the assurance that we are not walking through it alone. But our limited vision never limits God. Hagar thought she had reached the end of her story. She had only reached the end of what she could see. Maybe that's where you are today.

You don't need to see the whole road. You don't need to know how everything is going to work out. You don't even need to know what comes after the next step. You can simply pray: “Lord, open my eyes to what You want me to see, and help me trust You with what I cannot.” Because when you can't see what comes next, God still can.

Live Loved,
Pastor Kathy

Gracious God, there are times when we cannot see beyond what is right in front of us. Fear, disappointment, and uncertainty can make the way ahead seem impossible. Open our eyes to Your presence and to the ways You are already at work. Give us what we need for today, and help us trust You with what we cannot yet see. Remind us that our limited vision does not limit You. You see beyond this moment, and You will be with us in whatever comes next. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
Is there something in your life that feels like a dead end because you cannot see what comes next? What would it look like to stop asking God to show you the entire way and instead ask Him to show you what you need for today?

BEYOND MEASURE

Ephesians 3:14–19
“When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

There are some things we can measure. Distance. Time. Height. Depth. We like knowing where something begins and where it ends. Then Paul describes the love of Christ. How wide. How long. How high. How deep. It made me think about a song my family used to sing in the car when we traveled- “Deep and Wide” God’s love is so deep and wide it is almost indescribable. It's almost as though Paul stretches language as far as it will go and then admits that words still aren't enough. He prays that we will “experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.” Isn’t that beautiful! God doesn't simply want us to know about His love. He wants us to experience it.

There is a difference between knowing that God loves us because Scripture tells us He does and allowing that truth to reach the deepest places of our hearts. His love reaches into the places where we feel inadequate. It reaches into our failures and regrets. It reaches into our fear and uncertainty. It reaches into the places we try to hide from everyone else. And still He says, You are Mine. You are loved.

We sometimes measure God's love by our circumstances. When life is good, we feel loved. When prayers aren't answered the way we hoped, when life hurts, or when God seems quiet, we may begin to wonder. But God's love hasn't changed.

We may also measure His love by our own behavior. We know the mistakes we've made. We remember the things we wish we could undo. We see all the places where we still fall short. Yet the love of Christ is greater than all of it. There is no corner of our lives His love cannot reach.

And notice where Paul says our strength comes from. He prays that God will empower us with “inner strength through His Spirit.” Perhaps that's why truly knowing we are loved by God changes so much. When we are secure in His love, we don't have to spend our lives desperately trying to earn approval. We can face uncertainty knowing we are held. We can repent without running away in shame. We can love others more freely because we aren't asking them to fill a place in our hearts that only Jesus can fill. And we can walk through difficult seasons knowing that whatever changes around us, His love does not.

Let the truth of Christ’s love settle deeply into your heart today. His love surrounds you, strengthens you, and holds you through every season. No matter how far you travel or how deep the valley, you will never find the boundary of His love. It is wider, longer, higher, and deeper than we will ever fully comprehend. It is beyond measure.

Living Loved,
Pastor Kathy

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for loving us with a love greater than we can fully understand. Through the power of Your Holy Spirit, help us not only to know about Your love but to experience it deep within our hearts. When we question our worth, remind us whose we are. When we fail, draw us back to Your grace. When life becomes difficult, strengthen us with the assurance that Your love has not changed. Fill us with Your presence until our lives overflow with Your love toward others. In Your precious and powerful name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
Where in my life do I most need to receive and rest in the love of Christ today?
How would my life be different if I truly lived each day confident that I am completely and deeply loved by Jesus?

MORE LIKE HIM

Psalm 86:15
“But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth.”

If someone asked you to describe God, what would you say? Powerful? Holy? Creator? Almighty? All of those are true. But I love the way David describes Him in Psalm 86:

Compassionate.
Gracious.
Slow to anger.
Rich in faithful love.
Full of truth.

What a beautiful picture of the heart of God. And notice that David doesn't say God has a little faithful love to offer. He says God is rich in it. His love isn't scarce. We don't have to wonder whether there will be enough grace left for us after we fail again. We don't exhaust His compassion by coming to Him one more time. This is who He is. And I especially love those words, “slow to anger.”

We live in a world that seems to be getting faster and faster at becoming angry. One comment, disagreement or mistake. When people disappoint us, frustrate us, or simply see things differently than we do, patience doesn't always come easily. Friends block friends or unfriend them. But God is slow to anger. He is patient with us.

Think about how many times God has patiently worked on the same thing in our lives. How many times has He forgiven us? Redirected us? Convicted us? Given us another opportunity to listen and follow? And He continues to meet us with grace.

That doesn't mean God ignores sin or that truth doesn't matter. Notice that David says God is rich in faithful love and truth. God's love never requires Him to abandon truth, and His truth never causes Him to stop loving us. Grace and truth belong together. And here's where this verse becomes more than something beautiful to read about God.

If we belong to Jesus, shouldn't people begin to see something of His character in us? Are we compassionate with the person who is struggling? Are we gracious when someone makes a mistake? Are we slow to anger when someone frustrates us? Do we love faithfully even when loving someone isn't easy? Can we speak truth while still extending grace? We will never do these things perfectly. That's why we need the Holy Spirit continually working within us. But the closer we walk with Jesus, the more His character should begin to shape ours.

Maybe today, before we react to someone, we can remember how patiently God has dealt with us. Before we judge, remember His grace. Before anger gets the final word, remember His patience. Before we withhold love, remember how lavishly He has loved us. We have received His compassion. Now let it flow through us. Let’s dispense as freely as we have received!

Living in His Grace,
Pastor Kathy

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for showing us the heart of our gracious and compassionate God. Thank You for being patient with us, forgiving us, loving us faithfully, and never giving up on the work You are doing within us. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that Your character becomes more visible in our lives. Help us to be compassionate, gracious, patient, faithful, and truthful in the way we treat others. May someone experience more of Your love today because they encountered it through us. In Your precious and powerful name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
Which of these characteristics of God—compassion, grace, patience, faithful love, or truth—do I most need to reflect in my life today? Is there someone who needs me to extend the same patience and grace that God has so generously extended to me?

HE IS STILL THERE
Luke 15:20
“So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.”

Isaiah 65:24
“It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”

A friend sent me a song yesterday that I hadn't heard in a really long time—Say Something. As I listened to the words, I found myself hearing them differently than I ever had before. The song carries the sadness of someone waiting for another person to respond. Say something. Give me something. Let me know you're still there—because I'm reaching the point of giving up. And as I listened, I thought, I am so thankful that is not our God.

Sometimes we may live as though God is saying, “Say something. Do something. Come back soon, because I'm about to give up on you.” But that isn't the heart of our Father. Jesus showed us the heart of God in the story of the prodigal son. The son walked away. He chose another path. For a time, there was no conversation between the father and the son. But the father never stopped loving him.

And then one day, the son turned toward home. Scripture tells us that while he was still a long way off, his father saw him. I've always loved those words!

His father saw him.

That means the father was looking, watching and waiting. And when he saw his son coming down that road, he didn't turn his back. He didn't demand an explanation before coming near. He didn't say, “You waited too long.” He ran to him!!

God does desire our response. He wants us to talk to Him, seek Him, follow Him, and when we wander, to turn around and come home. But here's the beautiful difference: He doesn't stop loving us while He waits.

Isaiah says, “Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.” Before we even find the words, God is listening. Before we call, He is near. Before we take that first step toward home, He is already watching the road. If that isn't good news, I don’t know what is!

Maybe you've been quiet with God lately. Maybe life has left you without the words to pray. Maybe you've wandered farther than you intended. Or maybe you've simply become so busy that somewhere along the way, you stopped talking to Him. He's still there. You don't need an eloquent prayer. You don't have to explain everything before you come near. Just turn toward Him. And if all you can say is one word—Jesus. Say His name. Because our God isn't saying, “Say something, or I'm giving up on you.”

He's saying, “Come home. I've been here all along.”

Thankful,
Pastor Kathy

Father, thank You that You never stop loving us. Thank You for seeking us when we wander, listening when we struggle to find the words, and waiting with open arms when we need to come home. Forgive us for the times we have allowed distance to grow between us. Help us to turn toward You again and again. And when we don't know what to say, remind us that we can simply call the name of Jesus. Thank You for being there all along. In Your name, the name of Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Reflection Questions:
Have you ever allowed silence, hurt, busyness, or wandering to create distance between you and God? What might it look like for you to simply turn toward Him today?

August 25, 2026
WITH ALL YOUR HEART!

Acts 2:42
They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

There is a word in Acts 2:42 that caught my attention: devoting.

The early believers weren't casually interested in Jesus. Their faith wasn't something they squeezed into their lives when they had a little extra time. They devoted themselves to learning, fellowship, breaking bread together, and prayer. There was an intentionality to their faith. They wanted to know Jesus more, grow in their faith, learn His teachings, pray together, worship together, and live differently because they belonged to Him. And I wonder sometimes if we want a deeper relationship with God without wholeheartedly seeking Him.

We want peace, but are we spending time with the Prince of Peace? We want wisdom, but are we opening God's Word? We want to hear God's voice, but are we making room to listen? We want stronger faith, but are we consistently walking with the One in whom we place our faith?

Jeremiah says, “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” With all your heart. There is something beautiful that happens when seeking God becomes more than something we occasionally do and becomes the way we live.

As we devote ourselves to prayer, Scripture, worship, fellowship, Holy Communion, and growing in holiness, something begins to happen within us. Our hearts begin to change. We recognize God's voice more clearly. Our desires begin to align with His. We become more aware of His presence in the ordinary moments of our lives. And along the way, we discover a joy, peace, hope, healing, love, and contentment that this world simply cannot give us. Not because prayer, Scripture, worship, or fellowship are a formula for getting something from God. They draw us closer to the God our hearts truly need.

And perhaps that's what a heart fully devoted to God discovers: More of Him. The more we seek Him, the more we know Him. The more we know Him, the more we trust Him. And the more we trust Him, the more freely we can follow wherever He leads. Don't settle for simply knowing about Jesus when He invites you to know Him. Seek Him. Listen to Him. Learn from Him. Walk with Him. Devote yourself to Him. Give Him your whole heart. Because when we wholeheartedly seek Jesus, we discover that what our hearts needed most all along was Him.

Seeking Him With All My Heart,
Pastor Kathy

Dear Lord Jesus, help us to seek You with all our hearts. Give us a deeper desire for Your Word, prayer, worship, fellowship, and a life of holiness. Forgive us when the busyness and distractions of life take our attention away from You. By the power of Your Holy Spirit, draw us closer to You, teach us to recognize Your voice, and help us become more fully devoted followers. Above everything this world offers, may our hearts desire more of You. In Your precious and powerful name, Amen.

Reflection Questions:
What does the way I spend my time reveal about what I am truly devoted to? What is one intentional way I can seek Jesus with all my heart today?
