February 28 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) II Corinthians 5:7 You will not see every step before you take it. II Corinthians 5:7 (KJV) declares that we walk by faith, not by sight, which means clarity is not a prerequisite for obedience. Knowing Your Blindspots  means admitting how often we demand proof before we move. Faith lifts our focus beyond what is visible and anchors it in a reality that is High And Lifted Up .  For Black people who have had to step forward wit

February 27 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh i

February 26 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.  He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.  For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are pres

February 25 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. I Corinthians 12:9 Faith is a gift, not a flex. I Corinthians 12:9 (KJV) reminds us that even faith itself is given by the Spirit, meaning no one gets to boast in what heaven supplies. Knowing Your Blindspots  means admitting when confidence starts to sound like se

February 24 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. I Corinthians 2:5 Your faith was never meant to rest on personality, platform, or performance. I Corinthians 2:5 (KJV) declares that our confidence must stand in the power of God, not in the wisdom of men. Knowing Your Blindspots  means recognizing how easily charisma can replace conviction and influence can masquerade as anointing. A perspective that is High And Lifted Up  refuses to

February 23 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. II Corinthians 5:1-3 What you see is not all there is. Second Corinthians 5:1–3 (KJV) reminds us that when this earthly house feels fragile, there is a building

February 22 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also

February 21 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.  For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:11-13 Darkness is not dark to God, and hiding has never limited His sight. Psalm 139:11–13 (KJV) reminds us that even when we think our struggles are concealed, the One w

February 20 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. Psalm 90:8 Nothing stays hidden before a God who sees from eternity. Psalm 90:8 (KJV) reminds us that our secret sins and unseen patterns are laid open in the light of His presence. Knowing Your Blindspots  begins with accepting that what we minimize, heaven still measures. Exposure is not humiliation; it is an invitation to live aligned with what is High And Lifted Up . For

February 19 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: the preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.  Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.  Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. Psalm 97:12 Joy is not denial; it is disciplined focus. Psalm 97:12 (KJV) calls the righteous to rej
