FaithWatch Daily and Midnight Call Reflection
🌙 Midnight Call Reflection
Theme: “When Power Shifts, Grace Must Anchor”
Tonight’s headlines ring with alarm — markets fall, nuclear tests resume, refugee ceilings shrink, trade wars thaw, and nations reshape energy policy. Power is shifting on many fronts, and the ground seems ever more unsure. But for the Church, no power shift should unsettle our foundation.
The Spirit is our anchor. When nations threaten, truth may tremble; when economies falter, hope may flicker; when fear looms, faith must rise. The Holy Spirit reminds us that our citizenship is not in the boardrooms or war rooms of men, but in the eternal courts of Heaven.
Let these anchor truths settle your heart:
- Authority is temporal, God’s reign is eternal.
- Earthly systems bend; God’s promises stand.
- When men reset the world, we reset worship.
- Power may shift, but grace transforms.
Beloved, as the night deepens, we stand — not because we trust in shifting structures, but because we trust in the One who holds all things. He is the Rock beneath every storm.
