Ku̱lu̱gha 33:14

Life is full of “next steps”: new school years, new jobs, and new life stages. As we anticipate the upcoming change, we can often feel unsure and fearful. In Exodus, we learn how Moses prepared for his future as the leader of the Israelites. His story teaches us to seek God in our preparation and to find assurance in his constant presence.

Are you racing from one thing to the next? This plan invites you to tune into the Holy Spirit, who says, "I am with you, and I ask you to stay still. I am for you, and I ask you to listen. I am before you, and I ask you to see. I care for you and it is okay to rest.” Read along and be encouraged this week.

How can you keep your energy, happiness, creativity, and relationships fresh and thriving in the midst of never-ending family demands, career pressures, and the stress of everyday life? In this five-day Bible plan based on her book Sacred Rest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith gives the weary permission to embrace rest, set boundaries, and seek sanctuary without any guilt, shame, or fear.

It's so easy to be distracted, by the world and by our own hearts. God gives us a choice: to turn towards him or turn away from him. Holy Spirit says: "Be full of Me and be strong. Or reject Me and be weak. You can choose." Let this plan encourage you to tune back into that still, small voice that is always - always - calling you Home.
