Read: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Meditation verse:

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

The in-between season is a period in your life’s journey when you are not yet where you desire to be, but you are also no longer where you used to be. It is the space between promise and fulfilment, leaving and arriving, sowing and harvest.

How do you know you are in an in-between season? 

You feel unsettled. There’s a sense of anticipation and restlessness in your spirit.  You have glimpses of what’s ahead, yet the path is unclear. Heaven may seem  silent. Doors may seem shut, prayers unanswered, and progress slow. It feels  like a holding pattern—like you’re stuck in a hallway between two rooms,  waiting for the next door to open. It feels like you are in the wilderness. But the  in-between season is not a mistake. It is divinely orchestrated. Just as there is a  time to plant and a time to harvest, there is also a time to wait, prepare, and  grow. God often uses this season to prune, refine, and shape us for what lies  ahead. David had his in-between season between the anointing and the throne.  Joseph lived through it in the pit and the prison before the palace. Even Jesus  experienced it in the wilderness before stepping into public ministry. 

So how should you respond in the in-between season? 

Trust God’s Timing: He makes everything beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).  Delay is not denial. 

Stay Faithful: Keep doing the last thing God told you to do. Obedience in this  season prepares you for the next. 

Guard Your Heart: It’s easy to grow weary, bitter, or envious in this season. Keep  your heart anchored in gratitude and hope. 

Prepare for the Next: Use this season to build your capacity. Learn, grow, rest,  pray—prepare for what you’re praying for. 

Remember, transitions are the silent workrooms of heaven where God moulds you for greater assignments or what lies ahead. Don’t rush the process. God is  not just taking you to a new place—He’s making you into a new person. Do not 

resent the process. Ask God to help you recognize and embrace the in-between  seasons of your life. Trust His timing, rest in His promises, remain faithful and  stay fully prepared as you await the fulfilment of His promises. “Hold fast the  confession of your hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”  (Hebrews 10:23).

Read: Psalm 23:1-6

Meditation verse:

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4).

The rod is a symbol of correction and protection, while the staff represents  guidance and care. In biblical times, a shepherd used the rod to ward off  predators and discipline wandering sheep, while the staff—with its curved  hook—was used to gently draw the sheep back to safety and keep them on the  right path. 

Spiritually, the rod reflects God’s mercy. Because of His mercy, we are not  consumed when we falter. “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your  faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22). Rather than punish us as our sins deserve, He  lovingly corrects us, restoring us in gentleness. The staff symbolizes God’s grace,  which continually leads, nurtures, and directs us toward His purposes for our  lives. His grace empowers us to move forward, even when the path is uncertain. 

Together, God’s mercy and grace are ever-present companions on our journey.  They don’t always remove the valley, but they comfort us within it. We may walk  through dark, difficult, or painful seasons, but we are never alone. The Shepherd  is always near—with His rod and His staff (mercy and grace)—to protect, correct,  guide, and restore. 

So, when life feels overwhelming, remember the invitation of Hebrews 4:16:  “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy  and find grace to help in time of need.” You have both—His mercy to forgive and  His grace to sustain. Lord, thank You for being our Shepherd. Thank You for Your  rod that lovingly corrects us and for Your staff that guides us. Help us to trust in  Your mercy and lean into Your grace, knowing that You are always with us, even  in the darkest valleys. Amen.

Read: Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

Meditation verse:

“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud,  they never harvest” (Ecclesiastes 11:1).

The story is told of a single mother who longed to start a catering business to  provide for her children. She had no startup capital, no business plan, no  customers, and no professional kitchen—only a few old pots and pans in her tiny  apartment. But she chose not to let what she lacked stop her. 

Using what she had, she began preparing meals in her kitchen and selling them  by the roadside. Her food was so delicious that word quickly spread. In no time,  people came from far and near just to buy from her. Her passion, consistency,  and diligence caught the attention of one of her regular customers, who was so  impressed that he decided to invest in her dream. He provided a proper business  premises and new cooking equipment. This once-struggling mother moved from  roadside food seller to the owner of a thriving catering business—all because 

she dared to start with what she had, even when her conditions were less than  ideal. 

In 2 Kings 4:1–7, we read about a widow facing a desperate situation. Her  creditors were coming to take her sons as slaves. She cried out to the prophet  Elisha, who asked her a simple but profound question: “What do you have in  your house?” She replied, “Nothing except a jar of oil.” That little jar, combined  with her obedience, became the key to her breakthrough. She followed Elisha’s  instructions to borrow empty vessels, shut her door, and begin pouring. As she  did, her oil multiplied, and her problem was resolved. 

The question comes to us today: What do you have in your hands? What skill,  gift, idea, or small resource do you already possess that can be the starting point  for something greater? Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook from a college  dorm room. Colonel Harland Sanders began selling his now-famous fried chicken  from a roadside service station. Many great things begin in small, humble  places—with people who simply dared to take the first step. 

Sometimes, the way forward isn’t clear. It may feel messy, uncertain, or risky.  But God often requires us to move before He reveals the full picture. He told the  Israelites to go forward before parting the Red Sea. Likewise, Ecclesiastes 11:4  reminds us: “Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch  every cloud, they never harvest.” In other words: stop waiting for perfect  conditions—they don’t exist. Move! 

Start that business with the little you have. Begin that ministry from your living  room. Write the first chapter of that book, even if you’re unsure how it ends.  Take the first step toward the dream that’s stirring in your heart. As you move  in faith, the path will unfold. God doesn’t usually give us the full blueprint—He  gives just enough light for the step we’re on. And He expects us to trust Him and  move forward. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who  comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who  diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). 

So, step out. Use what you have. Start where you are. And watch God show up.

Read: Genesis 19:15-26

Meditation verse:

“But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt” (Genesis  19:26).

“Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain.  Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed” (Genesis 19:17). This was the  warning given to Lot by the angels as they prepared to destroy Sodom and  Gomorrah. Yet Lot’s wife looked back—and she became a pillar of salt. 

It’s easy to judge her and say she deserved the consequence of disobedience.  But are we not often guilty of doing the same? Don’t we, in our own journeys,  look back—dwelling on past mistakes, failures, regrets, or even the comforts we  left behind? Don’t we cling to past hurts, disappointments, or unforgiveness? In  challenging seasons, how often do we long for “the good old days” instead of  trusting God for a better tomorrow? How often do we grumble rather than  anchor ourselves in His promises? Indeed, we are just as vulnerable as Lot’s wife. 

There are many reasons why constantly looking back can be dangerous. First,  you cannot fix your eyes in two directions at the same time. If your gaze is fixed  on the past, you will miss the opportunities and direction ahead. This is how  many get stuck—unable to move forward because they’re still holding on to  what once was. You cannot open a new chapter of your life if you’re still  rereading the previous one. Dwelling excessively on past failures can cripple  your confidence. Even an unhealthy obsession with past successes can lead to  complacency and rob you of fresh ambition. Both hinder progress. 

Looking back too often also breeds discontent and ingratitude. It blinds you to  the blessings and beauty of the present. When we constantly replay our past,  we distort our perception of today, and that distortion can breed anxiety,  bitterness, or depression. There’s a reason the front windshield of a car is far  larger than the rearview mirror—what lies ahead is far more important than  what’s behind. God has declared that His plans for you are good—plans to  prosper you and give you a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Before He  promised to do a new thing, He commanded the Israelites: “Forget the former  things; do not dwell on the past” (Isaiah 43:18–19).

You cannot live in two realities at the same time. Ecclesiastes 7:8–10 offers this  wisdom: “The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in spirit is  better than the proud in spirit… Do not say, ‘Why were the former days better  than these?’ For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.” In other words, let  go of the past so you can take hold of the future. God has something ahead with  your name on it—something that’s part of His divine agenda. 

That said, reflection is not always wrong. The past can be a valuable teacher  when approached with the right heart. It can offer wisdom, humility, and insight.  But the key is balance: learn from the past, don’t live in it. Honor the journey.  Embrace the present. Look ahead with hope.

Read: Mathew 4:18-22

Meditation verse:

“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter,  and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen”  (Mathew 4:18).

When God needs a special task accomplished, He often looks for those who are  already engaged in meaningful activity. A glance through the scriptures confirms  this pattern. Simon Peter and his brother Andrew were busy fishing when Jesus  called them to become His apostles. James and John were in the boat with their  father, Zebedee, mending their nets and preparing for the next catch when Jesus  invited them to join His mission. Matthew was at his post in the tax office. David  was faithfully tending sheep in the wilderness when the prophet Samuel  summoned him to be anointed king. Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress  when the angel appeared to announce his divine assignment to deliver Israel  from Midianite oppression. Each of these individuals was already involved in  some form of service when God called them. 

God rarely chooses the idle. Those who are already busy tend to have experience  managing time, responsibilities, and resources. David’s years as a shepherd  equipped him to lead a nation. When God needed someone to shepherd His  people, He chose someone who had already proven himself in the quiet fields  of obedience. 

Activity also reveals character. It tests our discipline, reveals our strengths, and  shapes our work ethic. If you’re idle, there’s nothing to evaluate or build upon.  But when you’re engaged—even in small or mundane tasks—you demonstrate  readiness. The diligent are often more focused, goal-oriented, and purposeful.  As Proverbs 22:29 (KJV) declares: “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He  shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” 

Whatever you’re doing today, do it with excellence and intention. It matters.  Your current assignment may be God’s training ground for something greater.  And if you’re idle, don’t wait for a “perfect” opportunity—get busy with  whatever is before you, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Stay faithful,  because in God’s hands, every task has purpose. “Whatever your hand finds to  do, do it with your might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

Read: Isaiah 43:1-7

Meditation verse:

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers,  they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be  burned, nor shall the flame scorch you (Isaiah 43:2).

Fear is one of the most crippling emotions we can experience. It has the power  to paralyze potential, sabotage purpose, and keep us from living the life God has  prepared for us.

In the world of mental Health Counseling, ‘Exposure Therapy’ is a counselling  intervention often used to help individuals overcome morbid fears—phobias  that trigger intense anxiety and avoidance behaviors. The principle behind this  technique is simple yet profound: by gradually and deliberately facing the feared  situation, with the support of a therapist, the individual begins to realize that  their fear is either exaggerated or unfounded. Over time, this repeated exposure  reduces the intensity of the fear. In contrast, persistent avoidance only  reinforces and prolongs it. 

Isn’t that what God does with us? He doesn’t always remove the “waters,” the  “rivers,” or the “fire.” Instead, He walks with us through them. His presence is  the healing balm. His promises are our lifeline. And He is our Greatest Therapist. Infact, I sometimes wonder if psychologists unknowingly anchored this  approach in the wisdom of Isaiah 43:2, which says: “When you pass through the  waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.  When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame  scorch you.” 

For years, I had a morbid fear of flying. I avoided events that required air travel.  On the occasions I couldn’t, I barely slept the night before. Panic attacks and  repeated visits to the restroom were my routine at the airport. Though I haven’t  completely conquered this fear, I’ve learned to manage it—and exposure  therapy has played a major role. How did I begin to overcome it? Through my  own version of exposure therapy. At take-off, I would close my eyes and imagine  Jesus Christ sitting beside me. I would whisper His promises, anchoring my soul  in the truth of His Word. My favorite is Psalm 91:14–16: “Because he has set his  love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has  known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him  in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and  show him My salvation.” And in those moments, peace would slowly settle in. 

What about you? What fear has taken root in your heart? Who or what are you  afraid of? Don’t let fear rob you of the abundant life you were created for. Jesus  Christ is the ultimate therapist—ever-present, ever-faithful. “The Lord is my  light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of  whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1) 

Talk to Him about your fear today. He understands, and He is with you as you  take that first brave step forward.

Read: ECCLESIASTES 11:1-8

Meditation verse:

“But if a man lives many years and rejoices in them all, yet let him remember  the days of darkness, for they will be many. All that is coming is vanity”  (Ecclesiastes 11:8).

In Spencer Johnson’s book “Who Moved My Cheese?” four characters go in  search of cheese in a maze. The maze is a labyrinth of corridors and chambers— easy to get lost in. Eventually, they discover some cheese at Station C. Two of  the characters, Sniff and Scurry, were observant and proactive. They arrived  early each morning to inspect the area and check for any changes. Only after  assessing the situation, did they settle down to enjoy the cheese. The other two  characters, Hem and Haw, awoke later, dressed leisurely, and walked to Cheese  Station C without much thought. After all, they already knew where the cheese  was and how to get there. They had no idea where the cheese came from or  who placed it there. Feeling secure and content, they assumed the cheese would  always be there. But one morning, all four arrived at Station C and discovered  the cheese was gone. 

Sniff and Scurry were not surprised—they had noticed the cheese supply  dwindling. Without hesitation, they laced up their running shoes and ventured  back into the maze to search for new cheese. Eventually, they found an even  greater supply at another station. Hem and Haw, on the other hand, were  shocked. “Who moved the cheese?” they exclaimed, angry and frustrated. They  felt betrayed—no one had warned them. Discouraged and hungry, they  returned home. Eventually, Haw overcame his fear and set off in search of new  cheese, but Hem remained at the empty cheese station, hoping someone would  return with his cheese. He stayed there—weak, hungry, and unwilling to change. 

In the story, “cheese” is a metaphor for the good things in life. We each have  our own definition of cheese: a job, marriage, career, relationships, money,  health, freedom, spirituality, peace, recognition, or status. The maze represents  society, where we navigate life in pursuit of these things. But life offers no  guarantees. The only constant is change. And yes—your cheese will be moved.

The job we thought was secure can disappear in an instant. The relationship we  relied on can falter. Finances can run dry. Health challenges can arise  unexpectedly. And we’re left wondering what to do next. While no one hopes  for these shifts, we must be proactive and prepared if they come. Sniff and  Scurry remained alert to change. Are you? Are you scanning your environment— 

your career, relationships, health, and spiritual life—for early signs of transition? Everything in our world today is shifting rapidly. Uncertainty is real. The question  is: how prepared are you for a cheese less situation? 

The bible does not promise us a life free from change. Instead, it prepares us for  it. Ecclesiastes 11:1–2 says: “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it  after many days. Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know  what evil will be on the earth.” Ecclesiastes 11:8 reminds us: “If a man lives many  years and rejoices in them all, yet let him remember the days of darkness, for  they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.” And Ecclesiastes 3:1 declares: “To  everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Life moves  in seasons and transitions. Embrace and enjoy the good seasons—but be  prepared to navigate the challenging ones. 

What “cheese” in your life has recently moved? Are you resisting the change,  expecting things to return to normal, or are you asking God to show you the next  step? Don’t remain in a cheese less situation. When the cheese is moved, move  and trust God to help you find new one.

Read: LUKE 8:43-47

Meditation verse:

“He who observes the wind will not sow. And he who regards the clouds will not  reap” (Ecclesiastes 11:4).

The crowd was thick as the multitude thronged Jesus. Yet the woman with the  issue of blood pressed through. Coming from behind, she dragged her weak  frame forward until she reached Jesus and touched the hem of His garment.  Instantly her issue of blood dried up (Mark 5:25-34). Zacchaeus sought to see.

Jesus, but could not see through the crowd, for he was of short stature. So, he  ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree. And when Jesus got to the place,  He looked up and said “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must  stay at your house” (Luke 19: 1-5). The four friends of the paralytic man could  not get in through the door to reach Jesus because of the crowd, so they  uncovered the roof where He was and let down the bed on which he laid, and  he received his healing (Mark 2:1-12).

Blind Bartimaeus wanted to catch Jesus’ attention, amid the noise of the great multitude that followed Him, so he  screamed at the top of his voice “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me”. The crowd tried to shut him up, but he cried out even more. Jesus stood still and  commanded him to be called. He received his sight immediately and followed  Jesus on the road (Mark 10:46-52). 

They all encountered limitations that could have discouraged them from reaching their goal. Rather than wait for perfect conditions they found creative  ways around the situation. Instead of giving up when the usual way was  impossible, they found an unusual way. The woman with the issue of blood  figured she could not reach Jesus, so she decided to make do with the hem of  His garment. Zacchaeus figured out Jesus’ route ahead and climbed a tree on  the way. The four friends broke the roof. Blind Bartimaeus screamed out louder. 

What do you do when you encounter your own difficulties? What do you do  when the usual way is fraught with limitations? Do you give up or wait for  perfect conditions that do not exist? Do not retreat in the face of difficulties.  Keep searching until you find a different way to reach your goal. You just might  end up with a bigger miracle. In all four scenarios, the characters got more than  they envisaged.

All Zacchaues wanted was just to catch a glimpse of the One  who had become the talk of the town. He ended up hosting Jesus in his home  and became a changed person. The woman with the issue of blood wanted to  queitly sneak behind Jesus and receive her miracle, but she became the centre  of attraction. The paralytic did not only receive his healing, he received  forgiveness for his sins. Blind Bartimaeus not only had his sights restored, he  became a follower of Jesus. 

A closed door need not signal the end of your miracle. A closed door is an  opportunity to find another door. It is an opportunity to uncover another route  which may lead to a better place. Decide today to press through the crowd and  its noise. Step out and press through your limitation. You just might get much  more that you imagined or bargained for. God is a God of “much more”.

Read: DEUTERONOMY 1:1-8

Meditation verse:

“The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at  this mountain” (Deuteronomy 1:6).

Whilst in the wilderness, on the way to the promised land, the Israelites camped  for a while in the land of Moab east of the Jordan River. Then Moses informed them that God wanted them to move on; “You have stayed at this mountain  long enough. It is time to break camp and move on. Go to the hill country of the  Amorites and to all the neighbouring regions—the Jordan Valley, the hill country,  the western foothills, the Negev, and the coastal plain. Go to the land of the  Canaanites and to Lebanon, and all the way to the great Euphrates River. 8 Look,  I am giving all this land to you! Go in and occupy it, for it is the land the Lord  swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to all their  descendants” (Deuteronomy 1:6-8, NLT) 

A camp is a temporary structure typically used by soldiers, refugees or travelling  people. It is meant for a specific purpose and for a period. Certain relationships  are seasonal. Not everyone is meant to stay with you forever. Certain  environments are meant to serve a specific purpose in our lives. Certain people  come into our lives to teach us lessons. When we linger in environments or stick  with relationships or situations that we have outgrown, we are remaining in  what is referred to as a comfortable dysfunction.  

The problem with a comfortable dysfunction is that it has outlived its usefulness.  It was only intended for a specific purpose and period. You never get to your  next level, if you stay put. Relationships shape our reality; our company and  environment affect our output. You know there is something bigger and better  ahead, but you endure and tolerate because letting go requires too much effort,  or you are uncertain of what lies ahead.  

How do you know when you have outgrown an environment? You start feeling restless or stifled. You no longer feel comfortable with the same company. You  don’t enjoy their jokes anymore. You start feeling a distaste for what used to  feel tasteful. There is nothing wrong with you. It is your soul whispering to you  that you have outgrown the old because there is more ahead. Your taste buds  have changed. God is saying to you today “You have stayed at this mountain  long enough. It is time to break camp and move on”. Will you choose comfort

over courage, company over clarity or companionship over alignment and purpose? Choose wisely.

Read: EXODUS 14:10-18

Meditation verse:

“And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel  to go forward” (Exodus 14:15).

An automatic door does not open on its own, even though it is clearly marked  ‘automatic’. You must get within the sensor range, before it will open.  Irrespective of how desperate you are to enter a building, if you are thirty yards  away from the sensor range of its automatic door, it will remain shut.  

Similarly, we all have big dreams and huge expectations in life. There are certain  opportunities that we have been asking God to bring our way, but nothing seems  to be happening. Is it possible that God is expecting you to move towards the  sensor range?

When the children of Israel found themselves in a difficult  situation, with the red sea in front, and the Egyptians behind them, they cried  out to Moses. God’s response to them was “why stand there and cry, move  forward”. In order words, get within the sensor range and you will see the path  that I have made for you.  

Too many of us expect doors of opportunities to swing open whilst we are over  a hundred yards away from the doors. We wait for miracles to fall from the sky  or for someone to come rescue us.

Getting within sensor range could be as  simple as picking up the phone to call on prospective clients daily or writing  proposals and sending them off. It may also entail going back to school to get  that degree, working extra hard to get that promotion or acquiring the skills  required to start that business.  

It is often said that success happens when opportunity meets preparedness. In  this new month, ask God to show you what you need to do concerning the  opportunities you desire in life. And when He does, act with intent. Move  forward and do all you need to get close to the doors. When you are within  sensor range, the doors will swing open.
