Fire in Our Bones — The Thread
Friday, May 29, 2026 | Not So Ordinary, Week 4 This Week in Review Monday we stood in the wilderness with Moses, watching the Spirit rest on Eldad and Medad — two men who never made it to the meeting and got filled anyway. Joshua wanted it contained. Moses wanted it poured out on everyone, and the whole Bible runs toward Moses’ wish. Tuesday, Psalm 104 reminded us that the breath in our lungs is the Spirit’s, that the same wind moving over creation is the one keeping us alive moment to moment. Wednesday we watched it land: a roomful…

Living Water Flows From Within
Thursday, May 28, 2026 | Not So Ordinary, Week 4 Devotional Thought “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” John 7:38, NLT It’s the last day of a week-long festival, the biggest day, and Jesus does something that would have turned every head in the temple. He stands up and shouts. Anyone who is thirsty, come to me and drink. And then the promise — that whoever believes will have rivers of living water flowing out from inside them. The timing is everything. All week…

Ordinary People Walk Out Bold
Wednesday, May 27, 2026 | Not So Ordinary, Week 4 Devotional Thought “And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.” Acts 2:4, NLT This is the morning everything changed. The believers are all together in one place — the same scared, leaderless group that had been hiding behind locked doors not long before. Then a sound like a roaring wind fills the house, what looks like flames settle on each of them, and they’re filled with the Holy Spirit. And they start speaking in languages…

The Breath in Your Lungs Is His
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 | Not So Ordinary, Week 4 Devotional Thought “When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.” Psalm 104:30, NLT Psalm 104 is a long, wide-eyed look at everything God made — the seas, the mountains, the wild animals, the birds, the sun that knows when to set. And right in the middle of all that, the psalmist names how it all keeps going. Every living thing waits on God for its food. When God takes their breath away, they die and return to dust. When God gives…

The Ones Who Missed the Meeting
Monday, May 25, 2026 | Not So Ordinary, Week 4 Devotional Thought “But Moses replied, ‘Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit upon them all!’” Numbers 11:29, NLT Moses is worn out. The people have been complaining about the food, and the weight of leading all of them alone has gotten too heavy to carry. So God tells him to gather seventy elders, and he takes some of the Spirit that’s on Moses and puts it on them, and they prophesy. Shared load. Smart…

Fire in Our Bones
Sunday, May 24, 2026 | Not So Ordinary, Week 4 Where Are We Headed This Week? Most people don’t walk around feeling unqualified. They walk around feeling ordinary. Average. Like the big stuff — the calling, the impact, the God-actually-using-you part — was meant for somebody else. The people up front. The ones who have it together. Not you, with the job and the bills and the kids and the same Tuesday you had last Tuesday. This Sunday is Pentecost, and Pentecost is God’s answer to that exact feeling. The Spirit didn’t come down on a stage. He came down…
