· Luke 21:29–33
Jesus points to trees whose new leaves make a changing season visible. Discernment begins by paying attention rather than forcing every event into a dramatic prediction. Notice one sign of grace close to you: a relationship beginning to heal, courage returning after difficulty or a person quietly choosing what is right. Receive it without pretending every problem is solved. God’s promises give steadiness while change unfolds.
A question to sit with
What small sign of growth or grace have I nearly overlooked?
One small step
Name one hopeful change to God, then encourage the person whose faithful step helped it grow.
Pray
Faithful God, sharpen my attention to Your work nearby. Keep me grounded in Your promise and patient with what is still unfinished. Amen.
