Monday Manna w/ Pastor Batiste

“Still Here”

Church, as I reflect on yesterday, this truth keeps rising in my spirit: you’re still here.

Pressed, yes. Tired, maybe. Wounded, possibly. But not crushed. Not destroyed.

Paul reminds us that we are fragile jars, but we carry a powerful treasure. And the reason you’re still standing today isn’t because you’re strong, it’s because God is faithful. Life has hit you, but it couldn’t finish you. Pressure showed up, but God’s power showed up stronger.

So if you woke up weary but trusting… hurting but holding on… know this—being still here is evidence that God is still working.

“If you’re still here, God’s not done yet.”

Reflection Question

Where has God kept you standing, even when you thought you wouldn’t make it?

Prayer

Lord, thank You for holding me together. When life presses me, remind me of the treasure You placed inside me. I’m still here because You’re still faithful. Amen.
