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.

Greetings 👋
Are we truly where we ought to be spiritually?
Sometimes God has to gently remind us of His many promises. He once spoke into my spirit that fear and faith cannot coexist. And it’s true.
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV)
And His Word also declares:
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear…”
1 John 4:18 (ESV)
When our minds stay fixed on Him, His perfect love drives out fear and ushers in perfect peace. 🙏

Good morning, friends 👋
I don’t know about you, but I needed this reminder of God’s promises this morning:
Romans 8:26-28 (NLT)
“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
Hallelujah!
May you have a blessed Saturday. Let’s pray as the Spirit directs—lifting up our families, friends, national leaders, and our nation.
Senator Blackburn’s “Bell to Bell, No Cell” proposal is long overdue.
Schools exist for learning, not endless notifications, social media, and constant distractions.
Cell phones should be checked into the office (or locked in pouches) at the start of the day and returned only when the final bell rings.
No excuses, no exceptions—let’s finally put students’ focus and education first.
