Happy Tuesday!

First, I want to thank everyone for their messages, texts, posts, comments, and birthday wishes from Friday. Thank you so much! I had a great time celebrating my 40th birthday with my family.

As I shared on Friday’s podcast, over the next few weeks we will be discussing prayer and favor in our Faith in the Morning devotional podcasts and newsletters. I believe we are going into a new era of favor together.

The favor of God is more wonderful and powerful than most people know. In fact, the favor of God can help you achieve the goals you prayerfully set for this year. Favor can be for a moment or for a lifetime. In yesterday’s podcast, I shared how mercy and truth two important pillars that help you have a lifetime of favor. As Proverbs 3:4 says, they will cause you to “find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.”

In growing in the belief that God wants us to experience a lifetime of favor, we have to come to the important realization that we are supposed to increase in favor. You are not supposed to reach a level of favor and plateau. You are to continually increase in favor!

In today’s podcast, I share more about daily increasing in favor. Stream it and then share it with someone you know that needs to hear it and be encouraged.

I am praying for you! Remember to pray the daily prayer for 2026. After you pray the daily prayer, as I shared above, pause and take time to listen. Always remember, prayer is not complete until you take time to listen.

We are reading through the Bible this year. Today’s reading plan is located at the bottom of this newsletter. If you want a pdf print out of the plan, click here.

I am the salt of the earth. I am the light of this world. Jesus said it so I believe it. I am a carrier of the Glory of God. Today, I will experience the extreme goodness of God. Today, I make myself available for God to show His goodness to others through me.  Today, I am increasing in influence. Today, I will see the goodness of God in my life! Today, something good is going to happen to me so I expect miracles. 

We are reading through the Books of 1st & 2nd Samuel this Summer. Today, read 1st Samuel 27 & 28.
