🌿 Blooming in June/Well Watered Garden Series
Theme: Running with Perseverance & Becoming a Well-Watered GardenScripture Focus: Hebrews 12:11, Ephesians 5:14-16, Revelation Themes, Endurance & Discipline
Opening Devotion: Motivation vs. Revelation
Key Takeaway
We do not live by motivation; we live by revelation.
Motivation is temporary and based on feelings.
Revelation is God's confirmation and provides:
- Strength
- Clarity
- Direction
- Endurance
- Purpose
When we don't feel like continuing:
✔ Remember what God spoke.
✔ Remember why He called you.
✔ Remember the breakthrough attached to your obedience.
"We are not driven by motivation. We are driven by revelation."
Endurance & Discipline
Hebrews 12:11 Reflection
Discipline may feel painful in the moment, but it produces fruit later.
Key points:
- Continue even when it gets hard.
- Trust God's process.
- The reward comes after perseverance.
- Faith sees the promise before the manifestation.
Prayer Focus
- Endurance
- Perseverance
- Consistency
- Strength to continue
