Today’s devotional is centered around a powerful moment in Scripture often called Another One in the Fire. And this is one of those passages that hits different once you really see it.
In Ezekiel 47, the prophet sees this vision where water starts flowing out from the temple. At first it’s shallow. Ankles. Then knees. Then waist deep. And eventually it gets so deep you can’t cross it. Wherever this water goes, dead things come back to life. Trees grow. Fruit shows up. Even places that were salty and lifeless become fresh again. And here’s what’s wild. Ezekiel doesn’t create the river. He doesn’t control it. He doesn’t force it. He just follows it deeper.
Some seasons don’t feel hard. They feel empty. You’re showing up, doing what you’re supposed to do, but inside it feels dry. No excitement. No momentum. Just going through the motions and hoping something changes. Ezekiel 37 speaks right into that.
Some days just hurt. Not in a dramatic way. Just a quiet heaviness. Disappointment. Fatigue. Maybe things didn’t go how you hoped, in trading or in life, and you’re trying to keep it together without really knowing what to say. Lamentations doesn’t rush past that feeling.
A lot of pressure comes from believing everything depends on you. Do better. Be more disciplined. Don’t mess up again. Hold it together. That mindset sneaks into faith just as easily as it sneaks into trading. Jeremiah 31 speaks directly to that.
Isaiah 53 talks about a servant who suffers, not because He messed up, not because He deserved it, but because He chose to carry what others couldn’t. This servant is rejected, misunderstood, wounded, and crushed. And the wild part is Isaiah is writing this hundreds of years before Jesus ever shows up.
You’re showing up. You’re doing the right things. You’re being disciplined. But it feels quiet. Slow. Maybe even discouraging. And if you’re not careful, you start wondering if God sees you or if you’re just stuck in a holding pattern. Isaiah 40 speaks directly to that feeling.
Fridays have a way of surfacing everything from the week. If the week went well, there’s relief. If it didn’t, there’s frustration. Either way, there’s a temptation to carry the whole week into the weekend. Replaying trades. Replaying mistakes. Thinking about what you should’ve done differently. Scripture gives us a better way.
The market has a way of shrinking your world. One candle. One trade. One day. Everything feels urgent, and if you’re not careful, you start living like nothing exists beyond the next result. Ecclesiastes 3 kind of cuts through that.
Wisdom isn’t about perfect execution. It’s about humility. Trusting that Jesus sees more than you do and letting His wisdom carry more weight than your instincts or the market.
