Today, God wants you to check your lens. How are you seeing and interpreting things? Is Scripture guiding you, or is culture influencing you? If you want to preserve your peace and live the abundant life Christ came to give you, see things through His lens, and all you’ll see is victory.

Don’t ever mistake a pause for a conclusion. God has more in store for you, and the story isn’t over yet. View pauses as divine interruptions and preparation phases that lead to better things. Wait on the Lord. Trust Him. He will usher you into a new season of release and breakthrough.

In times like these, remember that we serve the God of the crisis. Though trouble may creep up on us and catch us off guard, God is not surprised by any trouble or attack. He stands ready, willing and able to help, deliver and rescue us in our time of need. While the world yells crisis, you declare, Christ is.
