God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On Friday, February 20, we’re back in Haggai 1, but today the spotlight is on one verse that will either wake you up or expose you:

“Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house… that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified.” (Hag. 1:8)

This is the correction we don’t want—but desperately need: God doesn’t always send a miracle first. Sometimes He hands you a shovel, points at the mountain, and says, “Start.”

We keep waiting on the big breakthrough… while God is waiting on our obedience. We keep praying for provision… while God is calling for participation.

Here’s the principle: Do what you can, so God can do what you can’t. You can’t change a heart. You can’t save anyone. But you can take the hike, bring the wood, and build what honors Him.

Today’s challenge is simple and practical: bring somebody with you. Invite them to worship. Invite them into the Word. Put in the work—so God gets the glory.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On Thursday, February 19, we’re in Luke 12, and Jesus drops a warning that hits like a gavel: your life does not consist in the abundance of your possessions.

This episode sits in the progression we’ve been walking all week:

• Haggai 1: misplaced priorities
• Deuteronomy 8: prosperity that makes you forget God
• Luke 12: the moment comfort turns into covetousness

Jesus tells the parable of the rich fool—a man with overflowing harvests who solves abundance with bigger barns… but never once talks to God, never once thanks God, never once thinks about stewardship—only storage. And God’s verdict is terrifyingly simple: “Fool… this night your soul is required of you.”

Here’s the line you need today: Jesus refuses to referee greed. He exposes it. He warns against it. And He calls us out of hoarding into stewarding—because eternity doesn’t consult your retirement plan.

So pray one honest prayer today: “Lord, what do You want me to do with what You’ve given me?” Not someday. Not after “enough.” Today.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On Wednesday, February 18, we’re in Deuteronomy 8—and it pairs perfectly with yesterday’s warning in Haggai 1. Haggai confronts misplaced priorities. Deuteronomy 8 confronts what often creates them: prosperity.

Moses is looking Israel in the eyes and saying, “You’re about to walk into a good land—streams, harvest, abundance, stability… so don’t forget the Lord.” Because the wilderness can break you, but comfort can erase you.

And here’s the detail that will mess with you: “Your clothing did not wear out… and your foot did not swell these forty years.” Forty years of walking—and God held their bodies together, their clothes together, their daily bread together. That’s not a one-time miracle. That’s daily mercy.

This episode is a call to recognize what we tend to overlook: the miracles that feel “normal” because they’re constant. Breath in your lungs. Strength to work. A mind that can think. A Savior who intercedes. The Spirit who dwells. Grace that keeps showing up.

Deuteronomy 8 is God saying: I took care of you when you had nothing. Don’t get comfortable and start acting like you did it when you have everything. Prosperity is a test—because it tempts you to trust the gift and forget the Giver.

So here’s today’s challenge: write down the mercies you’re in danger of forgetting. Name them. Remember them. Let memory turn into worship—before comfort turns into drifting.
