God has equipped each of us with a unique calling for TODAY. While we often get caught up in daily routines, we risk missing the divine appointments He has prepared for us. The amazing truth is that following God's calling brings immense joy!

The familiar phrase "Rise and shine" echoes Isaiah 60:1 (ESV): "Arise, shine..." This isn't just a demanding command - it's an invitation from God saying, "I am meeting with you today!"

When I encountered this verse, I responded with a simple prayer: "Okay, Father! I want to, and I will do it. I want to shine for you! Guide my path!" This wasn't during a busy ministry season, but during my vacation. Remarkably, within three days, God orchestrated three divine encounters that left an indelible mark on my heart.

God desires to bless you with similar meaningful moments - experiences that outweigh your sadness and are more valuable than daily worries about food or survival (Matthew 6:25 NLT). Right now, your loving Father in heaven hopes you'll choose to shine, because people around you need His light.

Will you say YES? If so, pray with me: "Okay, Father! I want to, and I will do it. I want to shine for you! Guide my path!"

May you experience unforgettable moments filled with His love and divine presence. Remember, you are a miracle!
