These cold snowy days can cause you to get off focus in the kitchen if you’re not careful. Y’all pray for me because the junk food demon is trying to get me twisted.

Scripture: “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 🕊️ Devotion Some days it feels like nothing is changing. You pray, you try, you believe… yet the breakthrough seems quiet. But silence is not absence. Waiting is not wasted time. And delay is not denial. God is still working—even when you don’t feel it. He is shaping you in ways you cannot measure yet. Healing what no one else can see. Strengthening parts of you that will soon carry more responsibility, more blessing, and more purpose. Remember—God never starts something He doesn’t plan to finish. Your growth may be hidden right now, but your future is still unfolding. So don’t quit. Don’t retreat. Don’t shrink back in the dark. Trust the process. Trust the hand that started it. Trust the God who never fails.

Scripture: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” — John 10:27 Hearing the voice of God is not reserved for prophets, pastors, or “super spiritual” people. Jesus made it plain: His sheep hear His voice. The issue is rarely whether God is speaking. The issue is whether we are listening, and whether we know how to recognize which voice we’re hearing. God’s voice is not frantic. It doesn’t accuse. It doesn’t confuse. And it never contradicts His Word. His voice brings clarity, even when the instruction is challenging. It brings peace, even when the calling stretches you. And it always draws you closer to Him, not farther from His presence. Many people miss God’s voice because they’re waiting for something dramatic— a loud sound, a sign in the sky, a feeling. But most of the time, God speaks in stillness. In Scripture. In conviction. In alignment. The goal is not just to hear His voice… but to recognize it quickly and obey it consistently.

Strength training! Done!
