Some of you might feel overwhelmed or even overlooked in your everyday life, but just like the sparrows, the Lord Jesus calls you valuable. He knows the cost of following Him, and He sees your tenacity. Jesus loves how you keep the belt of truth wrapped around your waist as you stand strong as a good soldier in Christ. The way you live your life is different, yes, but it's faithful. Your decision to walk in holiness and righteousness is fragrance to Heaven. God loves your character and the way you choose forgiveness instead of bitterness.

Let me tell you why writing and books are especially important right now. One year ago, more Bibles were sold than ever before. This means there are people hungry for Jesus even though the world will tell you otherwise. And all those people who are coming back to the faith are looking for real people who have walked this path. The world says people don’t read anymore; but the metrics say otherwise.

Many believers read the story of Elijah under the broom tree in 1 Kings 19 and immediately recognize the signs of emotional exhaustion, spiritual burnout and deep discouragement. After calling down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel, Elijah fled into the wilderness overwhelmed, fatigued and emotionally depleted. Yet God did not shame Elijah in his exhaustion. Instead, the Lord met his physical needs first, allowing him to rest before strengthening him for the journey ahead.Sometimes even the most faithful servants of God reach moments where their mind, body and spirit need restoration before stepping into the next assignment.

After a long winter, the sun always rises. In 1969, George Harrison wrote the words “Here Comes the Sun” during a difficult season in his life. What he may not have realized is that those words echo a promise spoken by God thousands of years earlier. In Malachi 4:2, the Lord declares, “The Sun of righteousness will rise with healing in His wings.” Did the woman with the issue of blood correctly interpret this scripture? I believe so.

When God spoke of a land flowing with milk and honey, He was not promising survival alone. He was promising goodness, intention, and joy. Honey was never required to stay alive, it was discovered along the way, a sign that God delights in satisfying His people, not merely sustaining them.

As we step into 2026, many are being transitioned out of survival mode and into a season where sweetness appears alongside obedience. This is not indulgence, it is alignment. God is restoring joy, clarity, and delight, often from places that once felt hard or barren. The honey may surprise you, but when you find it, you will know it came from the Lord.

Faith in a Suitcase is a new series I’m beginning, born out of walking with God across nation. I will continue to share prophetic words, but this series is different. It is a space to tell the stories that unfold along the way, the quiet moments, the discomfort, the joy, and the ways God meets me while traveling. These are reflections from the road, written in real time, as faith is lived out one step at a time.

In 2 Kings 6:1–7, a simple, almost overlooked miracle takes place. As the company of prophets worked to build a larger meeting place, one man’s borrowed ax head flew off and sank into the Jordan River. This moment is more than an ancient story. It’s a prophetic picture of what God is doing right now in His people. The fallen ax head represents the areas of our lives and callings that have lost their sharpness.

Many of God’s people are standing at a critical crossroads, and the Father is waiting for you to move. The green light has already been given. The Lord is saying, “Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Stop waiting for fear to leave. Step out, because I am already in the field waiting for you.” This is a season of action.

“Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.” —Ecclesiastes 11:4
