WalkingHISTrail
Today, as we walk HIS trail together, may Heaven break into our lives with joy and radiant hope. I encourage you—before reading the rest—open your Bible and spend time in these Scriptures that shape today’s devotional: Proverbs 22 (TLB), Psalm 112 (TPT), Galatians 4, Isaiah 1–2 (TLB), and Isaiah 52 (CJB).
A Heart Trained by His Wisdom – Proverbs 22
Proverbs 22 reminds us that humility and reverence for the Lord lead to true riches, honor, and abundant life. God’s wisdom shapes a path that keeps us steady, guarded, and guided. As we walk in His counsel, He trains our hearts to see through Heaven’s lens—free, joyful, confident in His love.
This is the life Jesus invites us into:
not fear-based faith but joy-rooted identity.
A Life That Shines – Psalm 112 (TPT)
Psalm 112 paints a picture of a person who delights in the Lord:
- Steadfast, unshaken by fear
- Overflowing in generosity
- Radiant with joy and compassion
It is Heaven’s portrait of someone fully alive in Jesus. This is who you really are in Him. Not by striving, but by abiding.
Sons and Daughters of Glory – Galatians 4
Galatians 4 brings us into the deep truth: we are no longer slaves, but sons and daughters—fully adopted, fully loved, fully free.
This is the CO-laboring, CO-identity message:
We are invited not merely to follow God
but to share His heart,
to walk in step with Him,
and to carry His joy into the world.
From slavery to belonging.
From orphaned to embraced.
From striving to resting in His love.
Your inheritance is joy.
Your identity is beloved.
Your future is secure.
A Call to Return—to Joy, to Justice, to His Heart (Isaiah 1–2)
Isaiah 1–2 calls God’s people away from empty motions and back into relationship, justice, and true worship. Not through pressure or shame, but through His transforming love that changes how we see, feel, and treat others.
“Come, let us reason together,” He says.
It is the voice of a Father not scolding—
but inviting His children back to joy.
Isaiah 2 lifts our eyes to the future when all nations will stream to the mountain of the Lord—a picture of Heaven invading Earth, the Kingdom of God transforming the world with peace.
Awake, Awake—Isaiah 52 (CJB)
Isaiah 52 announces freedom.
Strength.
Awakening.
Restoration.
“Shake off the dust! Arise!”
This is God’s call to those who feel worn, burdened, or ashamed:
You are not forgotten. You are redeemed. You are loved.
A Word for Mothers Whose Hearts Remember
There are days on the calendar that carry weight—days when memory, love, and what-might-have-been meet tenderly in the heart.
Today, I remember my daughter, Hannah Hope Grace, who would be 38 years old. Though I only carried her for four weeks, I carry her in my heart still.
And while the pain and the healing have woven together over the years, Jesus has never met me with condemnation—only with compassion, gentleness, and the promise of redemption.
To every mother who carries a similar memory:
You are not alone. Jesus holds your heart with infinite tenderness.
And your child?
Their life, and your love for them, are held in God’s redeeming hands.
In Heaven, nothing is lost.
Everything is restored.
Praying for the Persecuted Church in Eritrea
Today we lift our brothers and sisters in Eritrea, where faithful believers endure intense persecution. Many have been imprisoned, mistreated, and isolated simply for following Jesus.
Yet their faith shines like Psalm 112—unshaken, steadfast, radiant.
Let us pray:
- That believers will live fully in their identity in Christ—free, joyful, and unafraid
- That God raises bold leaders whose lives become walking altars of love
- For dreams, visions, and angelic visitations in places where the Gospel has not yet been preached
- For supernatural courage for those imprisoned
- For comfort and hope for separated families
- For the light of Christ to spread like fire in the darkness
May Heaven break into Eritrea with the goodness of God.
Pray for Our Nation — The United States of America
Father, let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in our land.
Let the hearts of our leaders and citizens be drawn to Your truth, Your righteousness, and Your peace.
Revive us, awaken us, and restore compassion and joy across our nation.
For Anyone Who Doesn’t Yet Know Jesus
If you’re reading this and have never invited Jesus into your life, or you’ve wandered from Him, hear these words:
He loves you. He wants you. He came for you.
Jesus—God in the flesh—died and rose again so you could be forgiven, healed, and restored.
If you want to begin this journey, you can pray:
“Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God.
I receive Your forgiveness and Your love.
Make me Yours.
Fill me with Your Spirit, and make my life new.”
Heaven celebrates when one heart turns toward Him.
