SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

September 14

Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me;

and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth;

to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,

and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

Isaiah 30:1-2

Be careful that urgency does not make decisions your spirit has not settled. In Isaiah 30:1–2 (KJV), God confronts people who make plans and seek security without first seeking divine counsel, reminding us that every available strategy is not necessarily the right strategy. Holy Ground is where we slow down long enough to test our plans against the vision before fear, pressure, or convenience chooses for us. Living High And Lifted Up means becoming mature enough to seek wisdom before movement and alignment before agreement. Our communities cannot afford decisions rooted only in survival; we need families, leaders, churches, and institutions courageous enough to plan for generational flourishing. Dream Big, but do not let desperation design your future. Decide To Become discerning enough to seek wise counsel, and Demonstrate Your Power by choosing what aligns with the vision rather than what merely relieves the pressure.
