SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

Tuesday, December 2, 2025

Don’t for a minute envy careless rebels; soak yourself in the Fear-of-God—That’s where your future lies.  Then you won’t be left with an armload of nothing.

Proverbs 23:17-18 (MSG)

This proverb pulls us back from the trap of watching people who look like they’re winning without wisdom. The Hidden Manna here is that real success isn’t measured in hype—it’s measured in holiness, purpose, and staying aligned with God. Shine means choosing depth over drama and character over shortcuts. When you “soak yourself in the Fear-of-God,” you’re letting God shape your heart, anchor your steps, and brighten your path. Others may rise fast, but what rises without God collapses just as quickly. You, however, are building a future with substance—something that lasts, something that glows from the inside out. Today, let your shine come from staying rooted in God’s way, knowing that what He’s preparing for you is worth the wait… and won’t leave you empty-handed.
