🕯️ Devotional Reflection: The Appointed Waiting
We find ourselves on Day 27 of the third month — the sixth day of the week and the doorstep to Sabbath. This is a day of holy preparation, not just of home and hands, but of heart and hope.
In Exodus 19, Israel stood at the base of Sinai on the third day — but before the fire fell, they had to wait. Before the Word thundered, silence reigned. It was not passive. It was appointed.
This is the appointed waiting.
A stillness before the revelation. A breath before the storm. A sacred hush in the temple of time. The Bride who waits with oil in her lamp and garments washed in obedience is not wasting time—she is preparing for divine encounter.

🔥 Remnant Reflection
What distractions must be cleared away so I can hear the still, small voice?
Am I using this day to prepare the altar of my heart?
How does waiting—when embraced—transform my ability to hear?
🙏 Prayer of Preparation
Abba Father,
Today, we quiet our hearts before You.
As You drew near at Sinai, draw near again.
Sanctify our waiting. Purify our thoughts.
Teach us to prepare the altar of our souls, not just the outward things.
May tomorrow’s Sabbath not catch us unready, but eager.
In the name of Yeshua, our Bridegroom and Coming King — amen.
