A Glimpse of the Boiling Pot

While in prayer the other day, the Lord showed me a boiling pot. It wasn't dramatic - it was simley there, steady and clear. Immediately, I knew, this was from the Lord and I needed to pay attention.

I turned to Scripture and looked up the phrase "boiling pot". I found the image in two places: Jeremiah 1:13 and Exekiel 24. Both passages carry a sense of warning, cleansing, and God's deep concern for His people.

And as I sat with the Lord, a quiet but weighty question rose in my heart:

Have we, as a nation… as the Church… stepped so far from what once grounded us that we no longer recognize the drift?

Not just in culture—but in our own hearts.

We’ve let go of disciplines that once grounded us.

We’ve allowed emotions to lead where truth should guide.

We’ve become busy, distracted, and in many ways spiritually malnourished.

Yet even in this sobering realization, I sensed something else:

God is still calling out a remnant.

A people who will return to His Word.

A people who refuse to build their faith on trends or feelings.

A people who understand the purpose of shaking—

even if we’re still learning how to embrace that truth in our daily lives.

The hard questions aren’t meant to condemn us; they’re meant to call us back.

And maybe that’s the point of the boiling pot.

Maybe God is letting us see what He sees so we can respond with humility, honesty, and hope.

Because there is hope.

There always is.

God doesn’t expose to shame—He exposes to heal.

He doesn’t shake to scatter—He shakes to strengthen what remains.

He doesn’t call out a remnant to isolate them—He calls them to stand.

My prayer is simple:

Lord, awaken us.

Soften us.

Bring us back to the place where Your Word shapes us more than anything else.

And prepare Your remnant to stand with clarity and love in this hour.
