Daily Reading Plan
By Dr. Barbara Wilson
God Has a Plan
Today’s Scripture
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Devotional Thought — Your Story Is Still Being Written
There are seasons in life when we know exactly where we are going. The doors are opening, the vision is clear, and everything seems to be falling into place.
Then there are other seasons.
A door closes. A relationship changes. A position ends. A dream takes longer than expected. Something you thought would happen doesn’t happen, and suddenly you find yourself asking:
“God, what are You doing?”
I have learned that an unexpected change in our plans does not mean there has been a change in God’s purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God knows the plans He has for us. Notice that He doesn’t say we will always know the plan. He says He knows.
Sometimes faith means trusting God when you cannot see what He sees.
You may be looking at your life today and thinking, This isn’t where I thought I would be.
But perhaps the question isn’t simply, “Why am I here?”
Perhaps the better question is:
“Lord, what are You developing in me while I am here?”
God can use seasons we would never have chosen to prepare us for assignments we could never have imagined.
- The delay can teach you patience.
- The disappointment can deepen your prayer life.
- The closed door can redirect you.
- The quiet season can strengthen you.
- And even the season that feels like an ending can become the place where God begins something new.
That’s what being repositioned with purpose means.
Repositioning can feel uncomfortable because God may move us from what is familiar before we fully understand what is next. But when God is directing our steps, we don’t have to be afraid of the transition.
You don’t need the entire blueprint today. You only need enough faith to take the next step.
- Your age doesn’t cancel your purpose.
- Your mistakes don’t cancel your purpose.
- Your disappointments don’t cancel your purpose.
- And what didn’t work yesterday does not determine what God can do tomorrow.
Your story is still being written. God has not forgotten you. He has not misplaced your purpose. And He is not finished with you yet.
Think About It
Take a few quiet moments and answer these questions:
- What area of my life has not gone according to my plans?
- What might God be teaching me through this season?
- Is there something God is asking me to release so I can embrace what He is doing next?
Today’s Prayer
Father,
Thank You for reminding me that You have a plan for my life.
When I don’t understand what You are doing, help me trust who You are. When doors close, give me faith to believe that You can redirect my steps. When I become discouraged by delays, remind me that Your timing is greater than mine.
Help me release what I cannot change and receive what You are developing in me.
Give me courage to walk into this next season without fear. Open my eyes to recognize the opportunities You place before me, and give me wisdom to know when You are repositioning me.
I surrender my plans to You again today.
Order my steps.
Shape my heart.
Use my life.
And help me walk confidently in the purpose You have ordained for me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Today’s Declaration
Say this aloud:
God has a plan for my life.
I will not allow yesterday to determine tomorrow.
I trust God’s timing.
I trust God’s direction.
I am not forgotten.
I am being repositioned with purpose.
Today’s Purpose Step
Write down one thing you have been holding onto that God may be asking you to surrender.
Then write one step you can take today toward what God is placing before you.
- What I am releasing:
- My next step:
Journal With God
Lord, in this season I believe You are showing me…
You Are Chosen
Today’s Scripture
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…” — 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
There are times when we look at other people and wonder why God seems to be using them in ways He isn’t using us.
They may appear more gifted, more confident, more educated, more experienced, or better prepared.
And comparison begins whispering:
Maybe I’m not enough.
But here’s something I want you to remember:
God knew exactly who you were when He called you.
- He knew your strengths.
- He knew your weaknesses.
- He knew your mistakes.
- He knew your personality.
- He knew the experiences that would shape you.
And He still chose you.
You don’t have to become someone else to fulfill God’s purpose for your life. God didn’t call you to be a copy. He called you to become the woman He created you to be.
There may have been times when people overlooked you, rejected you, underestimated you, or didn’t recognize what God placed inside you.
But rejection by people does not mean rejection by God.
- Sometimes the very places where we experienced rejection become the places from which God develops our compassion.
- Sometimes our struggles become part of our ministry.
- Sometimes our tears become the testimony that encourages another woman to keep going.
You may not understand yet how all the pieces of your life fit together. That’s all right. The Potter understands the purpose of the vessel.
Your responsibility isn’t to compete with someone else’s calling. Your responsibility is to faithfully answer your own.
You are chosen. You are valuable. You are God’s workmanship. And there is something God has placed inside you that somebody else needs.
Don’t spend another season trying to prove that you belong. You already belong to Him.
- In what area have I been comparing myself to other women?
- What gifts or qualities has God placed inside me?
- How would my life change if I truly believed that God chose me for a purpose?
Father,
Thank You for choosing me and calling me Your own.
Forgive me for the times I have compared myself to others or questioned whether I was enough.
Help me see myself through Your eyes. Teach me to appreciate the gifts You have placed within me and to use them for Your glory. Heal the places where rejection has caused me to question my value.
Give me confidence—not confidence in myself alone, but confidence in the God who called me.
I receive Your love.
I receive Your calling.
And I choose to walk in the purpose You have prepared for me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I am chosen by God.
I am loved by God.
I will not compare my calling with someone else’s.
What God placed inside me has purpose.
I will confidently become the woman God created me to be.
Write down three qualities God has placed within you.
Now ask:
How can I use one of these qualities to bless someone today?
You don’t have to compete for something God has already called you to.
— Dr. Barbara Wilson
Trust the Process
Today’s Scripture
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)
We like finished products. God often works through process.
- We want the answer. God develops our faith.
- We want the open door. God develops our character.
- We want the promise. God prepares us to carry it.
And sometimes the preparation takes longer than we expected.
Think about a seed. When you place it in the ground, you don’t dig it up every morning to see whether it’s growing. You water it. You nurture it. And you wait.
For a while, nothing seems to be happening. But underneath the soil, development has already begun.
Some of you are in an under-the-soil season. You have prayed. You have served. You have remained faithful. But you haven’t seen what you expected to see.
Don’t mistake God’s silence for God’s absence. Something can be growing even when you cannot see it.
- God may be strengthening your character before expanding your influence.
- He may be teaching you discipline before increasing your responsibility.
- He may be healing you before He sends you to help heal others.
Don’t rush the process. And don’t despise the season of preparation.
Purpose requires preparation. When God opens the next door, you want to be spiritually mature enough to walk through it and remain standing once you get there.
Trust Him. Keep praying. Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep showing up.
God knows what He’s developing in you.
- Where have I become impatient with God’s process?
- What might God be developing in me during this season?
- What does faithfulness look like for me right now?
Father,
Teach me to trust Your process.
When I become impatient, remind me that You see what I cannot see. Develop my character. Strengthen my faith. Correct what needs correcting and heal what needs healing.
Help me stop measuring my progress by someone else’s journey. Give me grace to remain faithful in the season I am in while preparing for the season that is coming.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I trust God’s process.
I will not rush my season.
God is developing me even when I cannot see it.
Preparation is part of my purpose.
I will remain faithful.
Identify one area where you need preparation before your next level.
Write one thing you can do this week to grow in that area.
Don’t become so anxious for what’s next that you miss what God is developing in you now.
— Dr. Barbara Wilson
Walking by Faith
Today’s Scripture
“For we live by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)
Faith becomes especially important when you cannot see what comes next.
It’s easy to trust God when everything makes sense. But what happens when it doesn’t? What happens when God gives you direction without giving you all the details?
That’s when faith has to move from something we talk about to something we walk out.
Many of us want God to show us steps one through ten before we’ll take step one. But sometimes God says:
“Take the first step.”
And after you take it, He reveals the next one.
Think about Abraham. God told him to leave what was familiar and go to a place He would show him. Abraham didn’t receive the entire itinerary. He received an instruction. And he moved.
Purpose often requires movement. You can pray about something for years, but eventually there comes a moment when prayer must be followed by obedience.
- Send the application.
- Write the first page.
- Make the phone call.
- Enroll in the class.
- Start the ministry.
- Have the conversation.
- Ask for help.
Faith doesn’t mean you won’t feel nervous. Faith means your trust in God becomes greater than your fear of moving.
You don’t have to see the whole staircase. You just need enough faith for the next step.
- What has God been prompting me to do?
- What fear has prevented me from moving?
- What is one faith step I can take now?
Father,
Give me courage to walk by faith.
I don’t need to know every detail if I know You are leading me. Help me recognize Your voice and respond with obedience.
Where fear has caused me to hesitate, strengthen me. Where doubt has caused me to stop, renew my faith.
I trust You with my next step and with everything that comes after it.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I walk by faith and not by sight.
Fear will not control my decisions.
God directs my steps.
I have courage to obey.
Today I will move forward.
Complete this sentence:
- The step I have been afraid to take is:
- Within the next 24 hours, I will:
Purpose doesn’t always require a giant leap. Sometimes it begins with one obedient step.
— Dr. Barbara Wilson
Hope for Tomorrow
Today’s Scripture
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him…” — Romans 15:13 (NIV)
Sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way we imagined.
We experience disappointment. We lose something we thought would always be there. Plans change. People change. Circumstances change.
And if we aren’t careful, disappointment can convince us that nothing good is ahead.
But as women of God, our hope is not built on circumstances. Our hope is built on Christ.
There’s a difference between wishing and biblical hope.
- Wishing says: “I hope something good happens.”
- Biblical hope says: “I trust God with what happens.”
Maybe yesterday was difficult. Maybe this year has been different from what you expected. Maybe you are starting over at an age when you thought everything would already be settled.
Hear me:
Starting over does not mean starting from nothing.
- You bring wisdom with you.
- You bring experience.
- You bring lessons.
- You bring testimony.
- And most importantly, God goes with you.
Don’t allow what happened yesterday to make you afraid of tomorrow.
God still has mornings you haven’t awakened to. People you haven’t met. Doors you haven’t walked through. Prayers you haven’t seen answered. Assignments you haven’t fulfilled. And blessings you haven’t experienced.
So lift your head.
Your present circumstances are only one chapter. They are not the entire story.
There is still hope for tomorrow.
- What disappointment have I allowed to affect my expectations for the future?
- Where do I need God to restore my hope?
- What am I believing in God for in my next season?
Father,
You are the God of hope.
Restore hope in every place where disappointment has made me afraid to believe again. Help me release yesterday and trust You with tomorrow. Fill me with joy and peace as I place my confidence in You.
Thank You that my story isn’t finished. Thank You for the doors I haven’t seen yet, the people I haven’t met yet, and the assignments You still have for me.
I chose hope today.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
My future is in God’s hands.
Disappointment will not steal my hope.
My story isn’t finished.
God still has a purpose for me.
I look toward tomorrow with faith.
Write down three things you are hopeful about in your next season.
Now choose one and begin praying over it every day this week.
Lord, as I think about my future, I want to tell You…
Don’t let yesterday’s disappointment make you afraid of tomorrow’s possibilities. God is still writing your story.
— Dr. Barbara Wilson
But They That Wait Upon the Lord
Galatians 6:9 encourages us not to become weary in doing good. Yet even in good seasons, there are pressures that can wear us down.
Discouragement
Elijah reached a dark and exhausted moment immediately after witnessing fire fall from heaven (1 Kings 19:4).
Murmuring
Moses repeatedly dealt with a congregation that murmured and struggled to trust God's plan (Numbers 14:27). Constant complaining can affect our spirit.
Giants - Obstacles
Goliath caused an entire army to hide in fear (1 Samuel 17). Obstacles can paralyze us if we allow fear to become larger than our faith.
Hypocrites
Focusing too much on insincerity in others can frustrate sincere believers. We must not allow the false to distract us from what is genuine.
Slow-Moving Miracles
The ten lepers were healed as they went in obedience (Luke 17:11-19). Sometimes we must keep walking before we see visible evidence.
Strange Miracles
God's methods do not always look the way we expect. Jesus used mud in healing the blind man (John 9:6), and Israel was instructed to walk around Jericho.
Recurring Enemies & Familiar Battles
David faced the Philistines repeatedly. Familiar battles can wear us down, but if God delivered before, He can deliver again.
There is no age limit on becoming tired. Isaiah says even youths grow weary and vigorous young men stumble.
Being tired means needing rest. Weariness goes deeper: strength has been exhausted through prolonged toil or exertion. The teaching reminds us that weariness can come when we keep trying to do things in our own strength.
You can get tired, but don't get weary.
Psalm 55:22 - Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you.
Our cares include the burdens, anxieties, worries, headaches, heartaches, and fears that occupy our thoughts and keep us awake at night. When weariness comes, take those concerns to the Lord and leave them there.
Reflect
- Am I simply tired, or have I become spiritually and emotionally weary?
- What burden have I been trying to carry in my own strength?
- What do I need to cast on the Lord today?
When we begin running with a new assignment, opportunity, business, home, or season, adrenaline may carry us for a while. But the race requires endurance.
Hebrews 12:1-3 teaches us to run with endurance by keeping our eyes on Jesus. Remembering what He endured keeps us from becoming weary and giving up.
Shift your focus from the mountain to the Mountain Mover.
When our eyes are lifted toward God, we can find strength to praise instead of grumble, trust instead of doubt, and hope instead of giving up.
Matthew 11:28 - Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him for rest.
Put It Into Practice
Write down the circumstance receiving most of your attention. Then write one truth about God that is greater than that circumstance. Use that truth to redirect your focus throughout the week.
Biblical waiting is not passive. Isaiah describes those who wait as people who expect, look for, and hope in God.
We wait on the Lord:
- to act,
- to deliver and save,
- to answer our prayers,
- to provide for our needs,
- to renew our strength,
- to reveal His glory,
- and to do what only God can do.
Psalm 27:13-14 - Remain confident that you will see the goodness of the Lord. Be strong, take heart, and wait for Him.
God's concept of time is not ours, yet His timing is perfect. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as people understand slowness (2 Peter 3:8-9).
Reflect
- What am I waiting for God to do?
- Has waiting caused me to question God's timing?
- Can I expect, look for, and hope in Him while I wait?
Lazarus: A Delay with Purpose
John 11 tells the story of Lazarus. When Lazarus became sick, Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus. Instead of arriving immediately, Jesus delayed. By the time He arrived, Lazarus had been in the grave four days.
The delay was not evidence that Jesus did not care. His plan was to reveal His glory as the Resurrection and the Life.
John 11:25 - “I am the resurrection and the life.”
Before Mary and Martha sent for Jesus, He already had a plan. The God who calls the stars by name is not surprised by the circumstances of our lives. He knows, and waiting can be part of His plan.
Delay does not mean God has no plan.
Put It Into Practice
Consider one delayed answer in your life. Instead of measuring God's faithfulness by the delay, ask Him what He wants to develop or reveal while you wait.
Waiting on God can be good for us because it teaches us to trust Him and His timing. If every prayer were answered immediately according to our wishes, we would be in control rather than God.
The waiting room can become a place of spiritual formation. Ask God to change you while you wait - to strengthen you and produce perseverance, character, and hope.
Romans 5:3-4 - Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Don't waste time in the waiting room.
Waiting-Room Questions
- What is God developing in me during this waiting season?
- Is my patience growing?
- Is my character becoming stronger?
- Is my hope becoming more deeply rooted in God?
Isaiah promises that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary; they will walk and not faint.
The teaching uses the eagle as a picture of renewal: rising high and receiving fresh strength. The central truth is that we do not have enough might in ourselves, but God gives power to the faint and increases strength to those who recognize their weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9 - God's grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness.
We must rely on God for strength to bear our burdens and for deliverance in His time. As we wait, our faith, patience, and fortitude can grow stronger.
God does not only tell the weary to keep going. He gives the weary strength.
Reflect
- Where do I need God's strength rather than my own?
- What old weight do I need to release so I can receive fresh strength?
- What would renewed faith, patience, and fortitude look like in my life?
Building on the Right Foundation
Both houses experienced the same storm. The rain fell on both houses. The floods came against both houses. The winds blew against both houses.
Storms represent the challenges of life. They may come as health issues, financial struggles, emotional battles, or family difficulties. Storms themselves do not determine the strength of a house; they reveal the strength of the foundation.
The storm reveals the foundation.
Reflect
- What storm am I currently facing?
- What is this storm revealing about my foundation?
- When pressure comes, what do I instinctively depend on?
Put It Into Practice
Instead of asking only how quickly the storm will pass, ask what the storm is revealing. Identify one area where God may be calling you to strengthen your spiritual foundation.
The wise builder heard the Word of Jesus and applied it. He built intentionally upon the rock. The foolish builder also heard the Word, but he did not apply it.
The difference between the two builders was not knowledge. Both heard the same teaching. The difference was obedience.
Hearing the Word is not the same as building on the Word.
Reflect
- Is there a teaching of Jesus that I know but have not fully applied?
- Where is God asking me for obedience rather than more information?
- What practical step of obedience can I take this week?
In ancient Israel, houses were sometimes built near dry riverbeds called wadis. During dry seasons these places appeared safe, but heavy rain could bring flash floods that destroyed structures built on shallow ground.
A wise builder would dig deep until reaching solid rock before constructing the house. Spiritually, digging deep represents prayer, studying God's Word, obedience, and surrender to God's will.
- Prayer - staying connected to God.
- Studying God's Word - knowing the truth we are building upon.
- Obedience - putting God's Word into practice.
- Surrender - allowing God's will to guide our decisions.
Foundation Check
- Which of these four areas is strongest in my life?
- Which area needs to go deeper?
- What will I do differently this week to dig deeper?
Job - A Foundation of Faith
Job lost his wealth, children, and health, yet he still declared, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” (Job 1:21)
Joseph - A Foundation of Integrity
Joseph faced betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment, yet remained faithful to God and was later elevated to leadership.
Paul - A Foundation of Commitment
Paul endured persecution and hardship, yet continued preaching the gospel with courage and faith.
A strong foundation does not mean an easy life. It means we have something solid to stand on.
Reflect
- Which example speaks most strongly to my current season - Job, Joseph, or Paul?
- What quality do I want God to strengthen in me: faith, integrity, or commitment?
Many people today build their lives on unstable foundations such as money, relationships, status, or approval from others. These foundations can shift like sand.
A life built on the Word of God remains stable because God's truth does not change.
| Shifting Sand | Solid Foundation |
|---|---|
| Money | God's Word |
| Relationships | Christ |
| Status | Faith |
| Approval from others | Obedience to God |
Examine Your Foundation
- What am I depending on for security?
- Have I allowed another person's approval to become too important?
- What must I move from shifting sand back onto the Rock?
Knowing Who God is
God does not handle us according to our worst moments.
Psalm 103:10 - “He hath not dealt with us after our sins...”
Mercy means God does not define us by our worst moments. We may replay conversations, regrets, disappointments, things we wish we had done differently, and things we wish we had said differently. But mercy reminds us that God is not constantly holding our past over our heads.
David: Mercy After Failure
David loved God deeply, yet he experienced serious failure. After his sin with Bathsheba, his life became painful and complicated. He knew guilt, sorrow, conviction, heartbreak, and consequences. Yet when David sincerely repented, God did not throw him away.
Some women quietly carry shame from past mistakes, broken relationships, parenting regrets, poor decisions, or seasons of emotional struggle. David’s story reminds us that God’s mercy is bigger than our failures.
Sometimes we are harder on ourselves than God is.
Put It Into Practice
Identify one past failure or regret that you keep replaying. Bring it honestly before God. If you have repented, practice receiving His mercy instead of repeatedly punishing yourself.
Reflect
- What past situation are you tempted to replay?
- How does God’s mercy change the way you see that situation now?
- What would gratitude look like in response to the mercy God has shown you?
God gives strength for every season.
Grace is not just favor. Grace is God helping us in places where we are weak. Weakness can look like emotional exhaustion, fear, disappointment, loneliness, caregiving fatigue, stress, or simply carrying too much for too long.
Women often continue functioning while quietly needing strength themselves - still helping, still encouraging, still praying for everyone else, yet internally tired.
Peter: Restored Gently
Peter loved Jesus deeply, but during a difficult moment he denied Him three times. Imagine the embarrassment, disappointment, and shame he carried afterward. After the resurrection, Jesus restored Peter gently. He did not humiliate him. He restored him lovingly.
Your struggle is not the end of your story.
Put It Into Practice
Name the area where you feel weakest in this season. Instead of hiding it, invite God’s grace into it. Ask Him for the strength you need for today rather than demanding that you carry tomorrow too.
Reflect
- Where are you functioning outwardly while feeling tired inwardly?
- What does Peter’s restoration teach you about the way Jesus responds to weakness?
- Where do you need to receive grace instead of condemnation?
God understands our humanity.
Psalm 103 reminds us: “He knoweth our frame.”
God understands the weight women can carry: family responsibilities, adult children, grandchildren, ministry, homes, schedules, and emotional burdens nobody else sees.
Martha: When Overwhelm Settles In
Martha loved Jesus deeply, but she became overwhelmed trying to manage everything. Many women understand Martha - cooking, organizing, serving, helping everyone, remembering everything, and trying to keep it all together.
Jesus corrected Martha gently. He understood her heart. Sometimes women are not angry, distant, or difficult. Sometimes they are simply tired. God understands overwhelmed women too.
God understands our humanity compassionately.
Put It Into Practice
Give yourself permission to acknowledge what you are carrying. Choose one responsibility you can release, delegate, postpone, or bring to God in prayer this week.
Reflect
- What is making you feel overwhelmed right now?
- Do you tend to hide your exhaustion until something small makes you emotional?
- What would it look like to make your relationship with God a safe place to pour out your emotions?
God sees what others miss.
Psalm 103 - “Like as a father pitieth his children...”
God sees silent tears, emotional fatigue, disappointments, hidden stress, private prayers, and burdens we rarely speak about openly.
Hagar: The God Who Sees
Hagar found herself alone in the wilderness, feeling rejected and forgotten. Many women know what lonely seasons feel like. You can love God and still have lonely moments. You can smile publicly while carrying private emotions.
But in the wilderness, God met Hagar personally. Her story reminds us that God sees what we carry, what worries us, what hurts us, and even what we never say out loud.
God sees you.
Put It Into Practice
Write down one burden you have not spoken aloud. Tell God exactly how it has affected you. Let prayer become a place of honesty rather than performance.
Reflect
- Where have you felt unseen or forgotten?
- What private burden do you need to place before God?
- How does knowing that God sees you change the way you walk through a lonely season?
God remains steady through every season.
Life changes quickly. Children grow up. Families shift. Health changes. People change. Seasons change. But God remains faithful.
Women who have walked with God for years often carry a different kind of peace - not because life was always easy, but because they have watched God carry them repeatedly.
Naomi: God Was Still Working
Naomi experienced devastating loss. She lost her husband, her stability, and her sense of hope. She became bitter because life became painful unexpectedly. Yet even while Naomi felt empty, God was still working behind the scenes. Ruth was part of God’s restoration plan, even when Naomi could not yet see it.
Just because you cannot see God moving yet does not mean He stopped working.
Sometimes God is doing His deepest work quietly.
Put It Into Practice
Look back over your life and identify three seasons in which God carried you, provided for you, restored you, or kept you. Use those memories as evidence of His faithfulness while you wait in your present season.
Reflect
- What past season gives you evidence of God’s faithfulness?
- Where are you waiting to see what God is doing?
- How can remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthen your trust today?
