When life leaves you with nothing but a handful of hope, God can still work miracles. The story of Elijah and the widow in Zarephath shows us what happens when hope is deferred - we question whether we hear God, our faith gets robbed, and our willingness to obey diminishes. However, even when faith feels weak, we can prepare for breakthrough by increasing our ability to hear God, strengthening our capacity to believe, and stepping out in obedience with whatever we have. Sometimes surrendering what we're clinging to is exactly what God needs to perform a miracle. Your assignment might be someone else's answer, and your obedience doesn't just affect you - it can change things for many people

Are you creating more room for your future or for temporary pleasures? God will make the way, but you have to make the room. Sometimes you need to buy the laptop case before you have the laptop - showing God you're serious about preparing for what He's promised. What faith move will you take this week to prepare for the breakthrough God has planned for your life?

As we enter 2026, instead of making resolutions we'll abandon, we can align ourselves with God's purposes. According to the Hebrew calendar, this year represents multiplication and connection - a time when our intentional choices will hook us to God's abundance. The theme is prepare to prosper, meaning to break forth into success in every area of life. Like the barren woman in Isaiah 54 who was told to enlarge her tent before receiving children, we must make room for God's blessings before we see them. This requires spreading out our hearts, minds, and expectations while driving stakes of faith through intentional actions that connect our future promises to our present reality.
