Midweek Mercy, Everlasting Hope

Good morning, precious ones!

It’s Wednesday—right in the middle of the week, where some of us are soaring and others are simply holding on. But here’s the truth that never changes: God meets us in the middle.He doesn’t wait for Sunday best or mountain-top moments.He shows up in the messy middle with mercy in both hands.

So wherever today finds you, breathe deep. Let grace settle over your heart. You are not alone—you are being carried.

✝️ Verse of the Day

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”— Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

Are you weary? He’s your strength.Are you tired of waiting? He’s working while you wait.Today is not wasted. Waiting in the Lord’s presence is never idle—it’s active trust, and it leads to divine renewal.

📜 On This Day in History – July 16

• 1969 – Apollo 11 launched to the moon. A journey that began on earth, aimed for the heavens. So does our faith—rooted here, reaching up. Keep believing for things beyond what you can see.

• 1945 – The first atomic bomb test occurred in New Mexico. A chilling reminder that power in the wrong hands destroys—but in God’s hands, power redeems and restores.

• 1790 – Washington, D.C. was established as the U.S. capital. Just as nations are formed, so are our lives shaped by God’s sovereignty and timing.

🇺🇸 National Holidays – July 16

• National Personal Chef Day – Whether you’re cooking for one or ten, preparing a meal can be ministry. Jesus met people at the table—so can we.

• National Corn Fritters Day – A little Southern comfort never hurt! Maybe gather around a meal today and share the goodness of the Lord in simple conversation.

💡 Midweek Moment of Encouragement

Wednesdays can feel like a wilderness between the starting line and the finish line.But remember this: God provided manna in the middle. Water in the waiting. Victory in the valley.

Today, He’s offering you strength—not just to survive, but to soar.

So take that next step. Pray that next prayer. Share that next kindness.You’re not behind—you’re becoming.

🙏 Midweek Prayer:

Father, thank You for meeting us in the middle. For strength that rises when we fall, and peace that comes when we pause in Your presence. Renew our energy, calm our fears, and help us soar today—not by our strength, but by Yours. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🌟 Today’s Challenge:

Encourage one person who looks like they’re in the middle.A co-worker. A tired mama. A neighbor.Your voice could be the wind beneath their wings today.

God’s not done. You’re not done.And this day—this middle—is holy ground.
