Rooted in the Ordinary
Key Verse:
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…”
Devotional Message:
There’s a sacred rhythm to motherhood that no one claps for. It’s found in sock-matching and lunch-packing, in 2 a.m. rocking and late-night laundry. It’s hidden in the carpool lines, grocery aisles, and whispered prayers while you stir spaghetti and stop a tantrum mid-boil.
It feels unseen—because it often is.
But not by God.
Scripture reminds us that nothing is too small for Him to notice. He sees your faithfulness in the mundane. He meets you in the repetition, in the moments that feel like you're pouring from an empty cup. When you're wiping tears—your child’s or your own—He’s there. When your prayers feel more like sighs, He hears those too.
This space—The Grove—is a gathering of moms in every season, choosing to believe that the unseen parts of our lives are still holy ground. You’re not just getting through the day. You are growing deep roots in faith, even when it doesn't feel like it.
God isn’t waiting for the big, bold moments. He’s already in the car ride, the bedtime routine, the mess, the ache, and the joy. And He’s proud of the quiet strength you carry.
Reflection Questions:
Where in your daily routine do you feel most unseen or unnoticed?
How might God be present in that exact moment?
What would it look like to invite Him into one “mundane” part of your day this week?
Prayer:
God, meet me in the middle of my ordinary. Remind me that You see every dish, every diaper, every deep breath I take to try again. Help me recognize Your presence in the small things, and let Your love anchor me as I grow roots in this season. Amen.
