Why are we surprised that the world hates us?
Didn’t Jesus tell His disciples what to expect when He sent them out?
Let’s pause and let the verses below sink in!
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues.
You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak.
For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
Matthew 10: 16-23 (NKJV).
We should be operating from a place of strength when daggers come our way.

We have an everlasting reason for hope.
Isaiah 9 isn’t just a Christmas passage—it’s a living word for right now. In a world that feels unstable, this promise still holds:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.”
— Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV).
Who else is holding onto this hope today?

Here’s what the Lord gave me today.
“For the eyes of the Lord move about on all the earth to strengthen the heart that is completely toward Him. You have acted foolishly in this, and from this point forward you will have wars.”
2 Chronicles 16: 9 (MEV).

Throwback to a few years ago — still one of my favorite photos. Standing with these incredible women reminded me how powerful it is when we show up for each other. The smiles, the purpose, the sisterhood… some things don’t change.
What’s one moment from the past few years that still fires you up?
