God is faithful.
Over the past few weeks, I have had the honor and the privilege of meditating on the goodness of God. As we approach what many in the Christian community recognize as Good Friday, I want to invite you, daughter, wife, mother, steward, into a sacred pause. Not a passive moment, but a consecrated reflection that reorients the heart toward eternal truth.
Holy Week is not simply a commemoration. It is an invitation.
An invitation to remember that before there was Resurrection, there was sacrifice. Before there was glory, there was surrender. Before there was an empty tomb, there was a Lamb.
The Passover Lamb and the Promise of Redemption
The foundation of this week is rooted in Passover, a divine act of deliverance recorded in Exodus 12. The children of Israel were instructed to apply the blood of a spotless lamb to their doorposts so that judgment would pass over them.
This was not symbolic alone—it was prophetic.
“For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.” — 1 Corinthians 5:7 (NASB)
Jesus, the spotless Lamb, fulfilled what the Passover foreshadowed. His blood was not placed on wooden doorposts, but on the rugged wood of the cross—securing not just temporary deliverance, but eternal redemption.
As mothers and women of faith, we must understand this:
The blood still speaks. (Hebrews 12:24)
It speaks over our homes.
It speaks over our children.
It speaks over our past, present, and future.
Eve and Mary: The Theology of Restoration
During this sacred time, I want to direct your heart toward a powerful meditation: the parallel between Eve and Mary.
Eve, in Genesis, encountered the serpent and participated in the fall of humanity.
Mary, in Luke 1, encountered the angel and participated in the redemption of humanity.
Where Eve responded in uncertainty, Mary responded in surrender:
“Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” — Luke 1:38 (ESV)
Through one woman, sin entered.
Through another, the Savior was carried.
This is not a coincidence, it is divine restoration.
And here is the encouragement for us as the Bride:
God redeems narratives.
What was fractured in one generation, He restores in another.
What the enemy intended for destruction, God uses for divine purpose (Genesis 50:20).
This is why I encourage you to engage deeply with the YouVersion Bible Plans:
These are not just readings—they are invitations into theological alignment and personal renewal.
Fixing Our Eyes During Holy Week
In a world filled with noise, pressure, and responsibility, it is easy to center our attention on what is lacking, broken, or overwhelming.
But Scripture gives us a clear directive:
“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith…” — Hebrews 12:2 (NASB)
This Holy Week, we are not dismissing real challenges—we are repositioning our gaze.
Because what you behold, you become anchored to.
When we fix our eyes on:
- His sacrifice → we remember our worth
- His resurrection → we reclaim our hope
- His faithfulness → we strengthen our trust
Selah. Pause and consider this.
The Significance of 120: A Divine Pattern
As we prepare for the 120 Hour Prayer Charge in commemoration of the 120-year anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival, it is important to understand that the number 120 is not arbitrary—it is deeply biblical.
1. A Period of Divine Patience and Preparation
“My Spirit shall not strive with man forever… his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” — Genesis 6:3
Before the flood, God extended 120 years of grace, a window for repentance and preparation.
2. The Upper Room Outpouring
“There were about one hundred and twenty persons together.” — Acts 1:15
Before the Holy Spirit was poured out in Acts 2, there were 120 believers gathered in unity: waiting, praying, and posturing themselves for divine encounter.
3. A Transition into Promise
Moses lived 120 years (Deuteronomy 34:7), symbolizing completion, fulfillment, and transition into legacy.
What This Means for Us
The 120 Hour Prayer Charge is not simply an event—it is a reenactment of divine patterns:
- Preparation before outpouring
- Unity before manifestation
- Prayer before power
Just as the early church waited in expectancy, we too are positioning ourselves—not for ritual, but for revival.
And not just revival in gatherings, but revival in:
- our homes
- our marriages
- our children
- our stewardship
A Call to the Bride
As we journey through Good Friday into Resurrection Sunday, remember:
- The cross was not the end—it was the transaction
- The tomb was not occupied—it was a testimony
- The resurrection was not symbolic—it was victorious
“He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said.” — Matthew 28:6 (NASB)
God is faithful.
What has been lost can be restored.
What feels dormant can be revived.
What seemed final is not finished.
