Receiving the good gifts of today
Lately, I’m finding myself praying for very specific things. Desires I know God’s placed on my heart but that seem so far away. And while I see faith growing within me, I notice old fears and anxieties stirring up as well.
Scarcity mindset is rearing its ugly head again. As much as I want to trust God will keep providing, I still wonder if his help will run out. When I shared this concern with him today, I sensed him inviting me to receive the good gifts he’s faithfully given me today.
Suddenly I saw the coffee in my hand, the sun shining outside, and the roses beyond my window a little differently. They’re proof of God’s goodness hidden in every day. If you, like me, are believing for some really good gifts, I pray this encourages you to look for God’s track record of provision in your life. And tell us what you find. :)
Pause: Take a moment to look at today’s sketch. Notice any colors, shapes or details that catch your eye.

Be present: How do you sense God’s presence in this moment? How might he be inviting you to respond?
