“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”

Luke 1:41 (NIV)

There are people God brings into your life who don’t just enter a room — they shift the atmosphere. Mary didn’t even touch Elizabeth. She didn’t explain anything, didn’t preach a sermon, didn’t lay hands on her… she simply walked in. But the anointing she carried caused something inside of Elizabeth to leap — a confirmation, a stirring, a divine activation.

Some people, when you’re around them, your faith gets bigger. Your vision stretches. Your spirit lifts. You walk away believing again, dreaming again, hoping again. That’s not accidental — that’s divine alignment.

I believe God is sending the right kind of people into your life — people who carry joy, people who speak faith, people who bring peace. You’re not meant to walk through life alone or surrounded by negativity. You’re meant to be connected to those who ignite your purpose and draw out your calling.

Get ready — because God is sending Mary-moments into your world. Moments that make something inside you leap again. Moments that remind you:

“What God has placed inside me is alive… and it will come to pass.”

You may not be in the same place emotionally every morning — and that’s okay. God meets you right where you are. Today, choose the devotional below that speaks to the season you’re in. The one that stirs something in your spirit — that’s the one God prepared for you today.

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”

Sometimes you look at your life and think you’re not where you should be, or you’re behind, or you’ve wasted time. But God didn’t start something in you just to abandon it — He finishes what He begins. You may not see the full picture yet, but He’s still working, still shaping, still preparing. Trust that the One who started the work will make sure it gets completed — beautifully.

Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

“Do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you.”

Life can come at you fast — bills, responsibilities, expectations — and it can feel like too much. But God never asks you to carry the weight alone. He stands beside you, holding you up with His strength when yours runs out. The challenge may be big — but your Helper is bigger.

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”

You may be wondering which path to take, which decision is right, which opportunity is for you. But God promises to guide you personally — not with confusion, but with clarity. You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself — He will lead you step by step. Trust that His eye is on you — not watching from a distance, but walking beside you.

Psalm 32:8 (NIV)

“The Lord does not look at the things people look at… the Lord looks at the heart.”

People may overlook you, underestimate you, or fail to see the value within you. But God sees your heart, your character, your faithfulness — the things that truly matter. When others pass you by, God sets you apart. You are seen, known, and chosen by Him.

1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

We all face storms. But Jesus doesn’t promise a life without trouble — He promises peace through it. The world may swirl with noise, stress, and conflict, but His calm is deeper than the chaos. You don’t have to wait for circumstances to calm down — you can walk in peace right in the middle of them.

John 16:33 (NIV)
