Today is 7/7 , and the sky is doing something real. 🌙 Every year in early July, our Sun draws close to Sirius , the brightest star in the whole night sky. The ancient Egyptians built their entire calendar around this star. When Sirius returned to the dawn sky, it announced the flooding of the Nile: water, grain, provision, the new year. Not a wish. A harvest they could count on. That is what 7/7 has always truly been , not an internet trend, but the season of the returning star. The old ones didn’t ask the sky for miracles. They watched it, and they prepared their houses for the flood. So here is a small working for the day of the star: 🕯️ At dusk, light one white candle. Face the east, where she will rise before dawn. Say: “What the star returns, I am ready to receive. My house is ready. My hands are open.” Let the candle burn while you write down ONE thing you are preparing your life to receive , not wish for. Prepare for✨

Matthew 19:26 Moses records God’s conversation with Abraham, “Why did Sara laugh, saying shall I really bear a child when I am so old? Is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord”? And after Job was tested and proven, he said to the Lord, “I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted”. Sarah was barren, but God opened her womb, and she bore a child in her old age. The child that would fulfill His purpose and plan. Job lost everything he had… everyone he loved… but God gave him back what had been taken, Job never stopped trusting God, no matter how hard it was. God proved Himself as the God of possibilities. Jesus, once again, drives home the point, all things are possible with God. While He was referring to the rich young man who chose the things of the world, rejecting Him…who’d chosen a righteousness of his own, He’s also looking at us… offering us an opportunity know there’s nothing He can’t do or accomplish in us, through us, or even without us. The rich young man walked away with his wealth, perhaps be believing his ‘good’ deeds would open the gates of heaven and allow him to come in. Had he understood the message of the gospel, he would’ve known there’s only one door, only one way to God, and it’s through Jesus Christ, His Son. Jesus is telling His disciples, it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of heaven. To us it may seem impossible, but with God, One Who knows no time nor space, nothing is impossible. Hard hearts soften at His touch, the eyes and ears of unbelievers are opened as He prepares the way before them. There’s nothing He won’t do, no place He can’t or won’t go, and there’s nothing impossible for Him. We trust Him with the little things, do we trust Him with the things that matter, things that seem impossible? The big things? Are we ready for Him to show us what we see as impossible to be possible? Do we put God in a b

Engage in worship! Worship is an essential component of our spiritual journey, as emphasized in Psalm 100, which invites us to joyfully sing and create music in honor of God. This act transcends mere melodies; it serves as a profound means to glorify and uplift His name throughout our lives. God finds joy in our worship, which not only brings Him pleasure but also rejuvenates our hearts and spirits, fostering a transformative experience. By engaging in worship, we redirect our attention from the distractions of the world to the tranquility of the divine, promoting emotional healing and a richer understanding of our faith. Worship should be approached with genuine sincerity and can be expressed in any environment, reminding us that a grateful heart integrates worship into our daily routines. Everyday actions, such as showing kindness, expressing gratitude, and following His teachings, can elevate ordinary moments into acts of worship. This practice can be integrated in all areas of life—be it at work, home, or during difficult times—because God desires to be involved in every aspect of our existence. Take a moment to reflect on your recent weeks and assess whether you have made time to praise God; if you haven't, start today, even in small gestures, as He values every form of our worship.
