Word of the Day
Beloved you have been spending so much time thinking about the things you need to do and the provision needed to bring them about. Quit worrying about having enough to get by spiritually and materially. Worry is a worthless effort aimed at robbing your time (Matthew 6: 27-34). It is so easy, beloved, to grab at anything that comes your way when worry and fear dominate your thinking.
The enemy loves to instill panic. By dominating your time with worry and self-effort your time is eaten up. As a result you are kept from doing what I have called you to do. Your focus gets diverted and all the worries and fears clog up the communication lines between You and Me. I am giving you a discerning spirit full of wisdom (Ephesians 1:17).
Regain your focus and let Me guide you. Hear My voice directing you in the way you should go (Psalms 143:8 Psalms 32:8). All the times you have said no to the many things meant to distract and derail you has matured you and discernment has grown. It is time to grow more. Your trust in My faithfulness as you weigh things out in your life pleases Me and I am the one you need to please in order to succeed in all you do. Remember this and be at peace.
Seek Me for direction in all things. As you delve into My word, revelation will be imparted to your spirit and many times you will just know what to do and how to do it. Abiding in Me prepares you to know what to do without much effort. It will simply flow out of our relationship together. No need to hear an audible voice when you are in intimate communion with Me. I am training you to hear the still small voice in your own heart (1 Kings 19:12).
By listening and weighing things out wisdom will speak loud enough to be heard. Often times things look good on the surface and seem like they will meet your immediate needs but they are not My best for you. Readjust your focus…Read Complete Love Letter…
Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You (Psalms 143:8 Amplified)
I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you (Psalms 32:8 Amplified)
Prayer
Father, I let go of all worry and self-effort today. I quiet my soul and listen for your still small voice to guide me in the way I should go. I have let worries and concerns push to the forefront of my thoughts and they have diminished my communication with You. I have a spirit of wisdom and You give me wisdom anytime I ask. Wisdom is imparted to me through meditation on Your Word and through communion with You. I have been faithful to weigh things out in my life according to Your Word and I will not stop now. I hear Your voice and I do not listen to the ranting of the enemy. He is a liar and a distracter. I readjust my focus and set it like flint on You. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. What negative thoughts, worries, or so called concerns have you been dwelling on? Is there any one in particular seeking to dominate your time?
2. What self-efforts have you used to try to fix, change or bring about or bring an end to a concern in your life.
3. Take time to reflect on any tendencies to worry and give any anxiousness to the Lord. Journal any thoughts about worry and wisdom He speaks to you.
