What a wonderful day for a walk on the Cheatham Hill trail in Marietta, GA. As I strolled and connected with Jesus, I reflected on recent events — family gatherings, prayer ministry moments, and our From Bitterness to Blessedness conference. Each event brought its own challenges and required preparation, whether it was focused prayer, timing, boots on the ground, or stepping out of my comfort zone.

That’s when I heard the Lord say to me, “Fran, every event in life is a teachable moment with Me. If you would submit to being taught, you will always learn something that will work out for your good.”

Scripture to Meditate On

2 Timothy 3:16–17
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

Colossians 1:9–10
“We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.”

Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

Pause & Reflect

• Where might God be inviting you to be “taught” in this season?
• Which scripture above speaks to your heart today?
• Take a few moments to pray or journal about what you’ve read.
