Midweek Reflections: What Is God Teaching You?

-

Happy Friday Jr.!

This week has been a journey, hasn’t it? Between Sunday’s reminder that God is still God and the past three days of diving into The Good in the Hard, I don’t know about you, but my spirit feels a little lighter. The truth we’ve been leaning into—that God uses even the hardest seasons for His glory—has been both challenging and encouraging for me.

I’ve been reflecting on my own moments of waiting and pain, asking myself, What has God been teaching me through it all? For me, it’s been a reminder to let go of control and trust His timing. Waiting is never easy, and pain doesn’t feel good while you’re in it, but I’m learning that God’s goodness shines even brighter in the midst of it.

What about you? Has anything from this week’s devotional resonated with you? Maybe it’s a scripture, a story, or even a song that has stayed with you. Maybe it’s caused you to see your own struggles in a new light.


Take a moment today to pause and reflect on these questions:

  • What has God been teaching me in the hard moments of life?
  • How has He shown His faithfulness, even when things didn’t go as I planned?
  • What can I do to trust Him more in the in-between?

If you’re willing, I’d love for you to share your reflections in the comments or message me. Sometimes, your story can inspire someone else who is walking through something similar.

Let’s take this midweek moment to rest in the truth that God never wastes a season. He’s working, even in the things we don’t understand yet.

Scripture for Reflection:
"He has made everything beautiful in its time." – Ecclesiastes 3:11

Worship Song for Today:
“For My Good” – Todd Galberth

Clear the Room: Make Space for Purpose - Day Two

Day 2: Surrender the Weight Scripture : Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) — "Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Devotional : I once heard someone describe life as running a race with bags strapped to your back. Each bag represented something different—fear, shame, insecurity, and bitterness. Some were small and easy to carry, but others felt like stones. That image stuck with me because I know what it’s like to feel weighed down. If I’m honest, there have been seasons when I held onto things I knew God was asking me to release. A grudge I couldn’t let go of. The pressure to meet everyone’s expectations. The guilt of mistakes I couldn’t forgive myself for. I told myself I needed to carry these things, but deep down, I knew they were slowing me down. God doesn’t call us to run weighed down. He calls us to run free. The moment I decided to surrender those weights to Him, something shifted....

Prioritizing His Presence Devotion - Day 2: Choosing What Matters

  Scripture: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." — Matthew 6:33 Devotional: Have you ever had one of those days where you’re running on fumes? The kind where you’ve said “yes” to everything and everyone, leaving nothing left for yourself? I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit—serving, working, striving—thinking that if I just do enough, I’ll feel fulfilled. But let me tell you something I’ve learned: Fulfillment doesn’t come from doing. It comes from being. When I think about Matthew 6:33, I’m reminded of the simplicity of Jesus’ words: Seek first the kingdom of God. That’s it. He didn’t say, “Seek success first” or “Seek approval first.” He didn’t even say, “Seek doing more first.” Just, “Seek first the kingdom.” Mary understood this. While Martha was busy doing good things—things that seemed important—Mary chose the better thing. She chose to sit with Jesus, prioritize Him, and trust that everyt...

Clear the Room: Make Space for Purpose - Day Three

  Day 3: Cultivate the Right Atmosphere Scripture : Philippians 4:8 (NIV) — "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. " Devotional : A few years ago, I had to take a hard look at the environment I was creating for myself. I was doing all the "right" things—reading my Bible, praying, going to church—but my atmosphere didn’t reflect what I was believing God for. My playlist didn’t sound like worship, my conversations didn’t speak life, and the people I surrounded myself with weren’t fueling my purpose. It was no wonder I felt stuck. God began to challenge me: What are you allowing to fill your space? I realized that purpose doesn’t just require clearing the room; it requires filling it with the right things. Like Jesus when He brought only the faith-filled people into Jairus’ house, I had to be i...
