Come Have Breakfast: an Invitation from Jesus
In John 21, the risen Jesus stood on the shore at daybreak and called to His disciples—not with commands or correction—but with compassion:
“Come and have breakfast.”
Before restoring Peter, before sending anyone out, Jesus made space for presence.
This devotional explores what it means to meet Jesus in the quiet of the morning—to be nourished not just physically, but spiritually. In a world that demands we show up for everything else, Jesus gently invites us to sit with Him first.
Because the blessing comes not from what we see—but from believing He is already near.
Don't Surrender Your Peace
This morning, the Lord gently reminded me not to surrender my peace—not to fear, not to financial worry, not to the pain of past wounds. As I opened an old prayer journal, I was reminded of the ways fear had caused me to retreat and silence the spiritual gifts God placed in me. But today, I chose to lay it all down—my fears, my worries, and my silence—at the foot of the cross. I asked God to heal what fear tried to shut down and to restore what was buried in self-protection. Peace isn’t found in control—it’s found in surrender.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”
—Proverbs 31:25 (ESV)
🐉 When the Battle Feels Bigger Than You – But Not Bigger Than God
"I’m walking through one of the hardest seasons of my life. My husband’s paycheck was cut in half. I lost my job. My business isn’t bringing in income yet. I’ve applied and prayed and hoped—but doors keep closing. In the middle of all that, God led me to Job 41—a chapter about Leviathan, a terrifying, untamable beast. And that’s when I realized: Leviathan looks a lot like what I’m facing right now. But God isn’t afraid of the chaos. He rules over it. This devotional is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, weary, or forgotten. You’re not being punished—you’re being proven. And you are not alone." – Rylan Isabella Wicker
