Week of October 12th
Monday, October 12th • Deuteronomy 8:10
Deuteronomy 8:10
10When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
——————
Gratitude Takes Work
We don’t naturally drift into gratitude and humility; left on our own, we often drift toward pride, complaint, or forgetfulness. That’s why we have to intentionally remember what God has done, count our blessings, and recognize that every good thing comes from His hand.
It takes work to celebrate God’s faithfulness instead of focusing only on what is hard, painful, or unfinished. But this is what we’re called to do: to stay humble, give thanks, and live with hearts that remember, “It is the Lord who provided for me.”
Where in your life do you need to intentionally practice gratitude and humility instead of drifting into complaint or self-reliance?
Take time to pray and journal a response from the Lord speaking into your life. As you have an impression of what He is saying, write it down (start with your first name) as though the Father is speaking to you–because He is!
Don't worry about spelling, punctuation, or any other distractions. Keep your eyes on Jesus and write down what you feel like He is saying to you in that moment.

Tuesday, October 13th • Deuteronomy 8:11
Deuteronomy 8:11
11Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.
——————
Danger Of Forgetting The Lord
Forgetting the Lord doesn’t usually happen all at once; it often happens slowly. Moses warned God’s people not to let blessing lead them into pride, as if their own strength had produced everything they had.
When we forget the Lord, we lose sight of grace, stop depending on Him, and begin living as though we are the source of our own security. So we are called to remember His faithfulness, give thanks for His provision, and keep our hearts anchored in humble worship.
Where are you most tempted to forget the Lord and rely on yourself instead of recognizing His hand in your life?

Wednesday, October 14th • Deuteronomy 8:12-14
Deuteronomy 8:12-14
12Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, 13and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
——————
He Delivered You
When you come through a hard season, it can be easy to remember the pain but forget the One who led you through it. God did not abandon you in the desert; He guided you, provided for you, humbled you, and taught you to depend on Him.
Remembering that He led you through gives you courage to trust Him with whatever lies ahead.
Where do you need to look back and recognize that it was God who carried you through a difficult season?

Thursday, October 15th • Deuteronomy 8:15-16
Deuteronomy 8:15-16
15He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. 16He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you.
——————
He Has A Plan
God may lead you into desert seasons not to abandon you, but to shape you, humble you, and teach you to depend on Him. Even there, He provides what you need—daily grace, unexpected strength, and reminders that He is faithful.
The desert is never wasted in God’s hands; He uses it to prepare your heart so that, in the end, it might go well for you. When you remember His provision in the wilderness, you can trust that His purpose is good even when the path is hard.
How might God be using a difficult thing in your life to prepare you for something good?

Friday, October 16th • Deuteronomy 8:17-18
Deuteronomy 8:17-18
17You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
——————
Not By Your Own Hand
Good things often require hard work, faithfulness, and perseverance, and you may have truly labored for what you have. But Moses’ warning still matters: don’t let your effort push God out of the picture or convince you that you did it all on your own.
Even your strength, opportunities, wisdom, endurance, and ability to produce fruit are gifts of His grace. When you remember that every blessing is touched by His hand, hard work becomes worship instead of pride.
Where have you been tempted to take full credit for something God’s grace helped make possible?

Saturday, October 17th • 1 Samuel 17:34-36
1 Samuel 17:34-36
34But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.
——————
He Wants To Bless You
God wants to bless the work of your hands, not only in the big assignments but in the small, ordinary acts of faithfulness.
The little things matter because they train your heart, build your character, and prepare you for the larger blessings and responsibilities He may bring. When you honor God in what is in front of you today, you are learning to trust Him with what He will place before you tomorrow.
What small responsibility in your life might God be using to prepare you for something greater?

Sunday, October 18th • 1 Samuel 17:37

37The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”

Come Holy Spirit
We want to be a “Come, Holy Spirit” church—a people who never rely only on our plans, strength, or understanding. When God says, “Go,” we can step forward with courage because we trust that the Lord will be with us.
In humility, we ask Him to come and fill every gap, cover every weakness, and do what only He can do through ordinary people. Our confidence is not in ourselves, but in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit leading us as we follow Jesus.
Today, as you pray, ask God to fill you with His Spirit and invite Him into the places where you feel weak, limited, or unsure.
