This is our B moment. Our moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.

Today I am encouraging you to celebrate your daily bread.
Recently I was talking to a woman who has been laid off from her job due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though she has filed for unemployment, it will not be enough to meet her monthly obligations.
If she receives her stimulus check under the Federal Cares Act this week, she may have just enough to fulfill her obligations with very little left over. This lady is a season that I refer to as your daily bread. God is supplying your needs and only your needs—not much else.
First, I shared with her that I was all too familiar with the daily bread season. Over the years though, I’ve come to appreciate that God is pruning us in this season. Pruning is defined as removing unwanted parts to increase fruitfulness and growth.
It is important to recognize that you are very valuable to God, so He’s taking extra time and care to remove any behaviors or crutches that you might lean on. That way, you become solely dependent on Him. When you lean solely on Him, you will surely increase in fruitfulness and growth.
What I think is worth celebrating is that God is really investing in you. No gardener spends time pruning flowers that have no promise. Tune into the Blues to Blessings YouTube channel as I share 3 personal insights from my daily bread season.
Before you do, remember these words: “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for…your faith produces steadfastness.” James 1:2-3 (ESV)
