SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

November 8

I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.

I live and breathe God; if things aren’t going well, hear this and be happy: Join me in spreading the news; together let’s get the word out.  God met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears.  Look at him; give him your warmest smile.  Never hide your feelings from him.  When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot. God’s angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.  Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see—how good God is.  Blessed are you who run to him.

Psalm 34:1-8 (MSG)

What if your greatest testimony is not what you escaped, but the goodness you discovered along the way? In Psalm 34:1–8 (MSG), David turns personal deliverance into a public invitation to experience God's goodness firsthand. Experiencing The Holy means moving beyond hearing about God's faithfulness to recognizing and celebrating it in your own life. Living High And Lifted Up means allowing gratitude to enlarge your vision while inviting others to experience God's goodness. Our Black communities flourish when we turn ancestral testimonies into renewed hope, shared joy, and opportunities for generations to thrive. Dream Big, because yesterday's deliverance is evidence that tomorrow still holds possibility. Decide To Become grateful enough to recognize goodness even before everything is perfect. Demonstrate Your Power by turning your testimony into encouragement and your blessings into opportunities for others.
