Today’s Scripture 🍞

He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where [is] the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

2nd Kings 2:13-14 (NKJV)

Today’s Devotional 📖

Good Morning,

This week, we have been diving into the world of mantles with Dr. Roberts Liardon! I hope you have enjoyed this interview as much as I have. In today’s interview, we begin to discuss the importance of taking care of yourself so that you can move with the Spirit and complete the plan of God for your life.

As we discuss the importance of taking care of yourself, we take time to talk about the importance of rest and my new book, the Rhythm of Rest. Dr. Liardon endorsed my book and I want to share part of his endorsement with you today.

“Let me just begin by saying I really like this book! Kerrick Butler’s Rhythms of Rest speaks to me, because it’s such an important subject for the longevity and the overall health of God’s people! I’ve tackled this topic at times in my own ministry, preaching to people about the three kinds of vacations every believer needs every year: a spiritual vacation (where you can soak, learn, and get edified); a “Mickey Mouse” vacation (a fun activity or adventure); and a local vacation — (staying close to home and enjoying where God has planted you). But I’ve just dipped my toe into the pool of revelation that Kerrick actually swam in to write this book! And now he invites all of us to dive in with him so we can learn new rhythms of grace that help us find true rest — spirit, soul, and body.”

In addition to this important topic, we begin to discuss the lives of Gordon & Freda Lindsay, Demos & Rose Shakarian, and David du Plessis. These individuals were tremendously used by God in the past century. As we look at their lives, we will observe important lessons for us to learn and apply to our lives.

I’ve been sharing quick takeaways about rest in reels on social media. In these reels, I share how rest is important and why your mentality has to change concerning rest. As I have shared more on this topic and engaged in conversations with others concerning it, the importance of this message has grown even more in my heart. God has rest and victory for you today!

Today’s Prayer 🙏

Pray this prayer with me today, “Father, thank you for loving me. You love me so much that you sent the Holy Spirit to live within me. As we learn about mantles this week, I ask that you grant me insight and help to walk in greater dimensions of your anointing and power. I thank you for all of these things and I receive them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
