Word of the Day
My dear child, my heart cries for you whenever I see you discouraged. Have you forgotten My promise that I will never leave you alone (Hebrews 13:5)? Remember when I said ?Keep still for I am God.?
I see how you fight it out to see the light when all seems dark. I am always with you and even a small flickering light is all you need to create a glow in the darkness. You are My salt and light in this world (Matthew 5:13a). I illumine your darkness and make you a city on a hill (Psalms 18:28). Stay within the flame of My heart and all will be revealed by the light of My Word and redeeming love. Remember, even darkness is light to Me.
Such faith you have and it endears you to Me. Nothing is ever hidden from Me. Your fears are always covered by My blood, so surrender them to Me one by one. It is imperative you do this now in order to move on. Fear paralyzes with threatening force, bringing the greatest of endeavors to a standstill. Remember, I conquered fear at the Cross.
Look to the Cross and see what I have ALREADY done. Whenever you gaze at My cross and contemplate all its meaning, I am pleased with you and the enemy flees. The redemption of the Cross and all it contains is symbolic of everything I gave for you, laid down for you and all I offer to you right now.
My right hand does valiantly on your behalf and stretches out over you, redeeming your emotions, your thoughts your mind (Psalms 118:6). My strength and power are perfected in your weakness and My grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). Nothing is impossible in Me because I have given you all I am and no word I speak is without power (Luke 1:37).
In the Cross I have redeemed you body, soul and spirit and have enabled you to say, “Your will, not mine be done.”
But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! (2 Corinthians 12:9 Amplified)
Prayer
Father, my heart rejoices in Your overwhelming love for me. You never leave me, nor do you forsake me even for a moment. Today I choose to be still in Your presence and acknowledge You as God over everything in my life, every up and every down, ever fear and every joy, yes, everything. I am salt and light. I do not fear for You are with me. You illumine my darkness with Your great light. I draw near to the flame of Your heart and I am set on fire for You. Passion burns in my heart like a mighty roaring fire. I embrace the Cross and all it stands for. Your right hand upholds me and the blood of Jesus has redeemed me past, present and future. Not my will but Yours be done. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Have you been keeping still in Him? If not take some time to do so.
2. What fears do you need to surrender in order to move on?
