Sometimes we hit these spiritually dry times where we feel like nothing we do is working. No doors are opening, we are locked in routine, and we're even feeling distant from God. Sometimes that's because we're in a time with spiritual manna-- but being without spiritual manna doesn't mean being without spiritual provision.

Let God help you reframe your understanding to get excited about what He's doing. Activations: 1. Is there somewhere in my life where the manna isn't there? Is it for rest or roots? 2. How can I draw closer to you? 3. Remind me where we're "growing".

What decision would I make differently? What actions would I do differently?
When we hear God, do we believe what He says? When is the last time you did an inventory of what you were convinced of and which voices were directing your decisions and obedience? Being fully convinced is the needed link between hearing the calling and stepping into the promises! Activations: 1. Write down some things you know the Lord has spoken to your recently. One by one, ask "Am I fully convinced of this?" 2. In areas you're not fully convinced, ask God, "What are of your character or your heart do I need to know more truth about?" 3. What area or areas have I been convinced of something that didn't align with your truth? Ask the Lord to replace these with His truth. 4. Bonus: Ask the Lord, "What inheritance of mine is waiting on the other side of being fully convinced?"
