SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

September 8

Joseph: “Blessed by God be his land: the best fresh dew from high heaven, and fountains springing from the depths; the best radiance streaming from the sun and the best the moon has to offer; beauty pouring off the tops of the mountains and the best from the everlasting hills; the best of Earth’s exuberant gifts, the smile of the Burning-Bush Dweller. All this on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the set-apart one among his brothers. In splendor he’s like a firstborn bull, his horns the horns of a wild ox; he’ll gore the nations with those horns, push them all to the ends of the Earth. Ephraim by the ten thousands will do this, Manasseh by the thousands will do this.”

Deuteronomy 33:13-17 (MSG)

What if the ground beneath you holds more possibility than you have allowed yourself to imagine? In Deuteronomy 33:13–17 (MSG), Moses blesses Joseph with a vision of fertile land, abundant harvest, strength, and the favor of the God who appeared in the burning bush. Holy Ground is where we learn to recognize what has been planted around us and develop the capacity to steward what can grow from it. Living High And Lifted Up means sitting with the vision until scarcity stops defining your expectations and abundance starts shaping your responsibility. Our communities flourish when we recognize the wealth within our people, land, relationships, creativity, education, businesses, and shared resources—and cultivate them together. Dream Big, because there may be more potential in your ground than your present circumstances reveal. Decide To Become a wise steward, and Demonstrate Your Power by cultivating what you have until possibility becomes provision for others.
