🌸 Preparing for the New: Embracing the Divine Shift

Welcome to May—the Month of Divine Shifts!

As we step into this new month, I believe with all my heart that God is calling us higher. He’s raising up new leadership, opening doors we didn’t even knock on, and releasing fresh assignments that will stretch us into new territories. May is not just another month on the calendar—it is an invitation to move forward, boldly and faithfully, into the new thing God is doing.

The prophet Isaiah reminds us:

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”(Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV)

God’s promise is clear: a new thing is springing forth. But with every new thing comes a shift. And shifts can feel uncomfortable. They can stretch us, challenge us, and call us out of familiar places. Yet, every divine shift is positioning us for greater purpose and impact.

🔑 How Do We Prepare for a Divine Shift?

Here are a few heart-postures and steps to consider as you embrace the shift:

1. Let Go of the Old. Release the baggage, disappointments, and limitations of yesterday. You cannot embrace what’s next if your hands are still clinging to what was.

2. Walk in Bold Faith. Even when the next step feels unfamiliar, trust that God has already gone before you. Step forward, believing His Word and promises over fear or doubt.

3. Stay Open to New Assignments. God is expanding your capacity. Be willing to serve in new ways, to lead in unexpected spaces, and to carry new responsibilities with grace.

4. Expect Divine Provision. Every shift comes with divine provision—whether it’s resources, connections, wisdom, or strength. Don’t worry about what you don’t have; trust that God will provide as you move.

5. Surround Yourself with Encouragers. A divine shift isn’t meant to be walked alone. Align yourself with people who will pray with you, cheer you on, and remind you of God’s faithfulness when the journey feels hard.

🌿 The Shift Has Already Begun

May is not the time to shrink back—it’s the time to step up. To walk boldly into uncharted territory. To say yes to the “new thing” God is doing in you and through you. This month, I challenge you to pray bigger, dream bolder, and trust deeper.

God is making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The very places you thought were barren are about to blossom. The doors you thought were closed are about to open. The opportunities you never imagined are about to find you.

It’s your time. It’s your season. It’s your divine shift.

Let’s walk into May expecting, believing, and preparing for the NEW.
