God is not just present in the mountaintop experiences or the darkest valleys, but He is intimately involved in the ordinary, daily rhythms of our lives. Like a shepherd who is always with his sheep, providing care, guidance, and protection, God walks with us through every car ride, every errand, every conversation—even the mundane and overlooked moments. He is not distant or only available in crisis; He is the Shepherd who provides for us, feeds us, and leads us every single day. Are you aware of His presence in your daily grind, and do you rely on Him in all aspects of your life? [52:41]
Psalm 23:1-3 (ESV)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Reflection: What is one ordinary, everyday moment today where you can intentionally pause and recognize God’s presence and care for you?
Jesus doesn’t just offer rest for our souls once a year or only on Sundays—He invites us to come to Him every day, in every moment, to find true rest. His yoke is easy and His burden is light, not because He removes all responsibility, but because He shares the load with us. When we slow down and bring our weariness to Him, He gives us strength, courage, and peace for the daily grind. Resting in Jesus means trusting that you are not carrying life’s burdens alone, but walking in step with the One who loves you. [57:40]
Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV)
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Reflection: Where do you feel most weary or burdened today, and how can you bring that specific area to Jesus to let Him share the load?
Renewal and refreshment from God are not reserved for special events, retreats, or mountaintop moments—they are found in daily trust and obedience. As we lean on God in the small, ordinary moments, He refreshes our souls and guides us on the right paths. Each day’s trust builds upon the last, creating a rhythm of renewal that empowers us to face whatever comes next. When you look back and see God’s faithfulness in yesterday’s ordinary moments, it gives you strength and hope for today. [01:02:45]
Psalm 23:3 (ESV)
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Reflection: Looking back on yesterday, where did you see God’s renewal or guidance in your life, even in small ways?
The only way to truly trust God in the everyday is to humble ourselves and submit to His authority. It’s easy to point out what others should do, but real change begins when we look in the mirror and surrender our own will, desires, and shortcomings to God. When we humble ourselves, turn from our own ways, and seek God’s will, He transforms us and empowers us to live out our faith authentically. This daily act of submission is the foundation for a life that points others to Jesus. [01:07:13]
2 Chronicles 7:14 (ESV)
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Reflection: What is one area of your life where pride or self-reliance is keeping you from fully trusting God, and how can you humble yourself before Him today?
To live a life of daily trust and renewal, we must be people who are rooted in God’s Word. Too often, we know more about our hobbies or the world than we do about Scripture. But as we ingest God’s Word daily, it shapes us, renews our minds, and equips us to respond to life’s opportunities and challenges with faith. When we are filled with His truth, the world will notice something different in us, and we will be ready to speak and act as He leads. [01:11:12]
Colossians 3:16 (ESV)
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Reflection: What is one practical step you can take today to let God’s Word dwell more richly in your heart and mind?
Trusting God is not just for the mountaintop moments or the valleys of life—it’s for the everyday, ordinary rhythms that make up most of our existence. The Lord, as our Shepherd, is present in every detail, providing, guiding, and refreshing us not just in crisis or celebration, but in the mundane: the commute to work, the grocery line, the conversations with coworkers and family. These are the moments where faith is truly formed and where God’s presence is most transformative.
Rest is not a luxury for the few, but a necessity for all of God’s people. Jesus invites us to come to Him daily, not just on special occasions, to find rest for our souls. His yoke is easy and His burden is light—not because He removes all responsibility, but because He shares the load with us. Trusting God in the everyday means slowing down, being present, and allowing Him to carry what we cannot. It’s about celebrating the small victories, recognizing His provision in the little things, and letting go of the pressure to do it all on our own.
This daily trust requires humility. We must be willing to submit ourselves to God, to admit our need, and to turn from our self-reliance. It’s easy to point out what others should do, but transformation begins when we look in the mirror and ask God to change us first. As we humble ourselves, dig into His Word, and rely on Him, we become people who reflect Christ in every aspect of life. The world will notice the difference—not because of our perfection, but because of our dependence on the Shepherd who walks with us every day.
