Word of the Day
Beloved, time is of the essence and I cannot state it more strongly…every minute is precious in My sight. I created time and value it greatly and I want you to value it too. Everything I give you is lavish and holds great worth. I do not want you to delay moving out into the things you know I have called you to do. Time is short and you are more prepared than you know.
It is My desire to position you…to provide divine appointments and part any seas of resistance in order to advance My Kingdom in this day and hour. Minute by minute I work. Hour by hour I work. Day by day I work and I want to display My goodness and mercy through you in such increments until your whole life is swallowed up in the movement and timing of My heart.
Therefore, a moment will come…a time will come in which I in My sovereignty do what needs to be done should delay try and win the day. I will not be dissuaded nor will I be stopped until My will is accomplished.
I know you have a free will, after all, I gave it to you in the first place; but I do have a good memory as well. I remember all the times you have told Me to do with you as I wish…all the times you said for Me to take your life and make it anything I want it to be.
Think about those kinds of statements or should I say “permissions” and know I am taking you at your word and calling in the markers’ After all it’s really what you want in deep places of your heart. Therefore, I will honor your words and your desires. I will do whatever needs to be done to enable you to fulfill your wishes, hopes and dreams for serving Me. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t?
Beloved, you are My plan…you are My one to use for such a time as this. A time such as this is always NOW, for I am an ever present God. Yes, I am an ever present God and I am ever present with you. Join arms with Me My beloved friend and let us together change the course of destiny for all those in need…all those I have ordained to be in your path. The time is now.
For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion? (Esther 4:14 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, I realize that time is of the essence. Each minute as it passes by is never to return, and I know they are gifts from you. Help me to become more aware of how the time slips by while I am unaware. I desire to see time as You do Lord, and to show You I too value each minute and spend it wisely. I have heard time is short. Help me to move into the areas You desire me to be in and to accomplish all that You would have me to walk in. Remove from me any areas of resistance Lord and enable me to be a yielded vessel going in the right direction. Thank You for being sovereign and may have Your perfect will done in my life. I am grateful that You know the deep places in my heart and still love me without question. Thank You for being my Lord and my friend. I Love You Lord. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- Create a time journal that you can write how you spend “all” your time for a minimum of one week. If you can, extend the time to 21 days to reveal to yourself how you are spending your precious moments of each day.
- Write down how much time you believe you need to be in control of for your daily routines, work, to-do lists, etc. Then reflect on where you allow God to fit into those times.
- List the areas where you have given God permission to change you and think about where He may desire to do some shifting with your time restraints.
- Ask yourself, “Are you willing to surrender your control over your scheduling, calendar and your To-do_list?” Write your response.
