Word of the Day
Beloved, come and live in a place where consistency is the rule of the day. Come live where constancy, steadiness, reliability and stability are the foundations for all things including spontaneity and flexibility. I am calling you on this very day to come and stand in a whole new way…to stand on a large plane…a large place….to stand on a large rock which never moves even though the rivers of life move and swirl around it…even though the rapids of this day lash against the shores of all you know to be familiar and at one time steady (2 Samuel 22:20; Exodus 33:21).
You are living in a day of uncertainty such as has never been. Therefore, it is imperative for you to find a foothold in the Rock of My being like never before. In doing so, you will move as I move…stand as I stand and not be swayed to the right or the left. After all, I have already been where you are going. Let this truth steady your heart and remember I am the one who laughs at the wicked. They think they will prevail or get by with what they do. Not so!
In Me nothing changes or stays the same. Pause and think about what this really means when it comes to the storms and challenges of life. I am your safe harbor of consistent hope and endless love. Invite Me into the deepest parts of you and I will anchor you to a place where all things work together for good. . Crawl up into the ship of My heart and let Me show you how I see things in this troubled day.
Every ship has treasure of some kind and I am no different. The ship of My heart is filled with treasure…filled with thoughts of you which are more valuable than the greatest pearl, the finest cut diamond or any other priceless treasure man could possibly find or conceive of. After all, I made them all and placed them in the earth to beautify it as a habitation for you. Treasures for My treasured one; you.
So, as we traverse the seas of life in a time of trouble and turmoil do not focus on the evil at hand or possible evil to come. Rest and be anchored in the Rock of My heart…an anchor which cannot slip (Matthew 16:18; Luke 6:48). Focus on Me and you will stay afloat.
Beloved, do not be distressed by any capsizing boats you see in the world around you and enter into fear. Know this,all boats of worry such as, hopelessness, not enough, sickness and so on need to capsize and make way for the release of truth…to make way for the My manifest power which destroys the works of the evil one. Embrace the truth for I am your provision. I am your supply which never runs dry.
When all things are depleted I simply create…I make a way where there is no way. How I want you to grasp and understand the fullness of all I am. So, take MY hand. Close your eyes and by faith see yourself taking My hand. See yourself climbing high on the Rock and being elevated above the storm to a place where you can forever remain. Come up here with Me and be anchored forever more…Read Complete Love Letter
And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place beside Me, and you shall stand upon the rock, (Exodus 33:21 Amplified)
And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros–a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra–a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. (Matthew 16:18 Amplified)
He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock. (Luke 6:48 Amplified)
[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it–a hope] that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil, (Hebrews 6:19 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, help me to remember Your an unchanging God who is faithful and consistent in everything You do. There is a purpose and plan for my life which has been specially designed by You for me as a gift. Please forgive me when I lack confidence in my everyday life and loose site of the things You have already given me in lieu of my own negative ways of thinking or doing. You are the only one that I should have confidence in or rely on.
Help me to remember Your hand is always on me in the good times as well as in the bad. Your Word says what the enemy has meant for evil You will turn around for my good! Be ever so diligent to remind me that You are my hiding place, a shelter in the storms of life
Lord, You are my rock, my shelter, protector, and my ever present help in time of trouble. Forgive me when I don’t come to you immediately when situations occur. I’m sorry that sometimes I go to my friends looking for answers and help even though I know You are the only one who can take care of any and all things which comes my way. Bring to remembrance all the times You have been right beside me in every storm. The storms of life come to strengthen me and cause me to stand strong and stable. I bind any and all fear from the unknown and release myself to walk in faith.
Let Your Word be rooted deep within my heart so that I will have confidence in You and not myself or the world. I pray for my heart to grow in passion as I seek You on a moment by moment basis. Fill my very being with Your love, grace, and the confidence of Your Word flowing in and through my life. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Have you taken a step back from your life to remember who truly is in control?
2. Do you have scriptures for your storm, for your fears, for your successes in order to have courage or stay humble? There is always a word of encouragement from God written in His Word.
3. Do you daily invite God into your life to abide with Him in good and bad times?
4. Contemplate the ship of the Lord’s heart being full of treasure for you. When the natural treasures of life are depleted He can simply create what you need. Pause awhile and think on this. Take His hand and dare to go where no man has gone before. Sail into whole new territory and see what the Lord can and will do.
