Sabbath Stillness, Sweet Assurance

Good morning, sweet friends in Christ!

It’s Saturday—a quiet gift tucked between the week behind us and the new one ahead. It’s a day to exhale, reflect, and soak in the nearness of God.You don’t have to rush today.You don’t have to hustle.You just have to rest—and remember.

God has been with you every step this week.And now He invites you to be still and dwell in His peace.

✝️ Verse of the Day

“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him...”— Psalm 37:7a (KJV)

Rest isn’t laziness. It’s obedience.It’s saying, “God, I trust You enough to stop striving.”

It’s in the quiet moments that He speaks the loudest.So slow down. Let your soul stretch. Let your spirit breathe.

You don’t have to do anything today to earn His love—just receive it.

📜 On This Day in History – July 26

• 1775 – The U.S. Postal Service was founded. Just like letters carry messages, you are a messenger of God’s love—wherever you go.

• 1947 – President Truman signed the National Security Act, creating the Department of Defense. A reminder that our greatest defense is still the Armor of God (Ephesians 6).

• 1847 – Liberia became a republic. As it was formed, may we remember: freedom is both a gift and a responsibility. Walk in the freedom Christ died to give you.

🎉 National Days – July 26

• National Aunt and Uncle Day – Reach out and thank the spiritual aunts, uncles, and mentors in your life who have prayed over you, laughed with you, and loved you like family.

• National All or Nothing Day – The world says “go all in or go home.” But Jesus says, “Come to Me, all who are weary.” No perfection needed. Just presence.

💛 Saturday Surrender: God’s in Control

Let today be a reset.A Sabbath pause.A holy hush that says, “God, I give You this day, my heart, and my future.”

You don’t need a plan for every moment.You just need peace in the present.

🙏 Saturday Prayer:

Father, thank You for today. Thank You for sacred stillness and divine rest. Remind me to breathe deeply, smile freely, and listen quietly for Your voice. I lay down every burden, every plan, and every worry. Fill me with peace that only You can give. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🌟 Today’s Challenge:

Do one thing that restores your soul.Whether it’s sitting in the sun, reading your Bible slowly, or taking a quiet walk—invite God into that moment. Let Him refresh your spirit.

You don’t have to rush to be holy.You don’t have to strive to be worthy.You just have to rest in the truth that He loves you—completely and constantly.
