Beginning of Every Season
Every morning when Aaron maintains the lamps, he must burn fragrant incense on the altar. And each evening when he lights the lamps, he must again burn incense in the LORD’s presence. – Exodus 30:7,8 NLT

Series: Incense of Prayer
Every prayer has the capacity to change the atmosphere of Heaven. That’s why it’s necessary to pray the right prayer and give prayer prominence in our life. The Lord has promised that He will come and meet us in our area of need as we do so.
In the above verse, we see a command from God to Aaron – to burn fragrant incense on the altar every morning and each evening. Morning and evening represent a change of time, a shift in season from darkness to light and vice versa.
Night seasons are the seasons where you fall prey to your fears and doubts. The challenges you face may be real, but even so, start that season by burning an incense to the Lord. The message is not to pray two times a day – it is to pray at the beginning of everything.
If Jesus is at the center of everything in your life, you would need to pray at least twice a day, not because you’re dependent on Him for a favor, but because your whole life depends on Him. He is the author of your life.
This is what God wants you to experience and walk in – a daily living experience where you are connected to Him, where there is continual incense burning from your heart to Him and His presence fills your life. Everything you do here on earth affects your eternal destiny. Store up treasures in Heaven through your prayers.
May God give you the grace to come to Him to burn incense and acknowledge Him at the beginning of every season in your life.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
