Suddenly, the Lord Moved


Suddenly, the Lord Moved - 

“Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to His temple…” 

Malachi 3:1


There are seasons when heaven seems silent. We wait, we pray, we prepare. And then, without warning, God moves. Not slowly. Not predictably. But suddenly.


Scripture is full of divine interruptions: Joseph released from prison in a day, the Red Sea parting in a moment, Pentecost descending like fire. These weren’t gradual shifts. They were holy surprises. Swift reversals. Quick works.


Expectation is the soil of miracles. When we live with open hands and hearts, we make room for the unexpected. God delights in exceeding our hopes, not just meeting them. He is not bound by our timelines or logic. He is the God of “now,” the God of “suddenly.”


But suddenness doesn’t mean randomness. It means readiness. God prepares us in the quiet so we can carry the weight of the quick work. The surprise is not in if He’ll move, but when. And when He does, it will be beautiful, precise, and unmistakably Him.


So today, let your spirit lean forward. Expect the unexpected. Welcome the surprise. And when it comes, let gratitude rise like incense.


Prayer:

Lord, we ask for two things today.  

Give us grace to trust You more, especially in the waiting.  

And give us a grateful heart, especially in the suddenness.  

We believe You are working, even now.  

And when You move, we will say: “This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”  

Amen.

What are your peace stealers?

🤝 Bearing One Another’s Burdens “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (NKJV) Life is not meant to be carried alone. God, in His wisdom, calls us into community—not just for celebration, but for support. To bear one another’s burdens is to step into someone else’s struggle with compassion, patience, and grace. But to do this well, we must first understand our own vulnerabilities. 🎯 Know Your Weak Points—Guard Your Peace The enemy has studied you. He knows what rattles your peace, what triggers your frustration, and what tempts you to react instead of respond. Be aware of your peace-stealers. Recognize when you’re vulnerable. Guard your heart with wisdom and prayer. And just as you learn your own weaknesses, learn the weaknesses of those around you—not to exploit them, but to protect them. 💞 Help, Don’t Hinder We’re all wired differently. What bothers you may not bother someone else—and vice versa. That’s why empath...

Only Believe

Only Believe - In the scripture a man came to Jesus and said, "My little daughter is very sick. She is close to death. Will you come to my home and pray for her"? Jesus agreed. But along the way he kept getting stopped, one interruption after another. Finally word came back to him saying, "No need to come. You've waited too late. The little girl has died". The people were upset, very distraught. But Jesus said to them, Luke 8:50, "Don't be afraid. If you will only believe the little girl will be well". Notice the phrase, "Only believe". Jesus went to the home, prayed for the little girl and she came back to life. But you too may be facing situations that seem impossible. In the natural you don't see how you could get well, how you could overcome the addiction, how your family could ever be restored. But God is saying to you what he said to them. "If you will only believe, I will turn the situation around. If you only believe, bre...

1000 Reasons to Praise and Thank God  "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits." – Psalm 103:2   There are not just one or two, but a thousand resounding reasons to lift our voices in praise. And if we dared to count, we'd run out of breath before we ran out of gratitude.   - Praise Him for the sunrise—the whisper of mercy every morning. - Praise Him for breath in our lungs and purpose in our steps. - Praise Him for the cross, where grace outnumbered our guilt. - Thank Him for every closed door that was really divine protection. - Thank Him for the harvest we didn’t see coming, and the seeds still waiting underground.
