Protect the Promise: Reasons Why Everything Doesn't Need to Be Announced

Image
There was a time when I believed sharing my excitement would multiply my joy. Whenever something good was on the horizon—a new opportunity, a fresh idea, a prayer I believed God was answering—I wanted to tell someone. Over time, I learned a valuable lesson. Not everyone celebrates your good news with a sincere heart. Some people are genuinely happy for you, while others may unintentionally introduce doubt, fear, criticism, or unnecessary opinions. Sometimes they don't mean any harm. Other times, their response reveals that they simply cannot see what God has shown you. I've learned that some things are meant to be protected before they are presented. There is wisdom in allowing a dream to mature before exposing it to the world. A seed isn't planted so it can be dug up every day to prove it's growing. It remains hidden beneath the soil until its roots are strong enough to break through the surface. In much the same way, God often develops His promises in private before r...

Faith Walk by Michelle Pitt

 


Have your own faith walk.
Because looking at someone else’s journey
might inspire you for a moment—
but it might also mislead you,
distract you,
even discourage you.

See, their light is not your light.
Their breakthrough is not your blueprint.

And sometimes,
we think a quick prayer or two
will unlock heaven’s floodgates—
but God…
God’s not just watching our lips—
He’s reading our lives.

It’s the way we walk.
The way we talk.
The way we wait when nothing’s moving.

It’s in the quiet moments,
the surrendered spaces,
the condition of our hearts
when no one else is looking.

It’s more than a Sunday song
or a post with a scripture in the caption—
It’s the rhythm of our obedience,
the posture of our trust,
the relationship we build
when we think He’s silent.

Because faith?
Faith ain’t imitation.
Faith is intimacy.
And alignment—
real alignment—
comes when we stop chasing formulas
and start seeking Him.

Not His hand.
His heart.

So don’t borrow someone else’s walk.
Take off the comparison.
Step into your own surrender.
And watch God move—
not just around you,
but within you.

 

Scriptures: 

1. James 2:17 (NIV)
“In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
→ Faith is more than words—it’s about how we live.

2. 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
→ God examines the heart, not performance.

3. John 15:5 (NIV)
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
→ Intimacy with God (relationship + surrender) is what causes fruit (promise, purpose) to flow.

4. Psalm 37:4-5 (NIV)
“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.”
→ Alignment and surrender unlock the path to receiving what He’s promised.

Affirmations: 

My faith is rooted in relationship, not performance.

I surrender daily, and God meets me with grace and guidance.

I am not moved by what I see—my trust is in God’s promise.

My life reflects the love, truth, and power of the God I serve.
