Word of the Day
Yes, Beloved, your upcoming days are to be days of letting go. Once again, let Me remind you, letting go of one thing leaves room for another. Ah . . . yes, it makes room for more of Me. Letting go positions you to walk in a state of expectancy and excitement with composure and peace. Unprofitable things are of no value and without benefit and compete with all the good I have planned for you, sometimes wearing a mask of importance and value. This is why it is imperative for you to come to Me with an attitude of quick to hear and quick to obey. In doing this you save much time and effort.
Unprofitable things cloud your vision and create a lack of success. They take up space, time, effort and energy. Some even leave you with a sense of guilt and shame. They have the effect of burying one’s talents in the soil or capping the river of life that flows from you through the power of distraction, and function as a smoke screen of obstruction
In this new season of your life I am ready to dispense new revelation and open doors of opportunity, enabling you to share the many life-changing gifts I have endowed you with. If you are sidetracked or paying attention to other things, the gifts I have given you will not be a visible active force in your life in a profound and productive way. Unsuccessful things are simply what the word declares: lacking benefit, unsuccessful, at a loss or causing loss, losing, ineffective, fruitless, and futile.
I want to use you to the fullest measure in all your gifts from the least noticeable to the most public. Remember, unprofitable things are a distraction therefore they cause harm. Make room for Me and I will make room for you among great men (Proverbs 18:16).
“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men” (Proverbs 18:16 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, throughout all my days help me to have a heart completely surrendered to Your will and purpose in every area of my life, from the mundane to the grand, from the hard to the joyous. Letting go makes more room for You to move in my life and fill it with good things. Give me the discernment to see beyond the mask anything might wear with the intention of diverting my attention and focus from You and Your desire for my life. My sole desire is to be an obedient child of God in every way and in everything.
I receive every open door and revelation. Doors of opportunity and favor are set before me and I will let go of anything keeping me for grabbing the door knob and pushing on through. Nothing is worth forfeiting the plans the Lord has for me. Lord, keep me from being sidetracked or discouraged in any way. I look to the mountain from whence my help comes from and I will not be moved. I give all that I am or ever will be to the service of the Lord and put down all that hinders me. Today I move on in Him.
Reflect and Journal
- What unprofitable things in your life have worn a mask of importance just because they seemed the good or right thing to do?
- Reflect on your tendency to be quick to hear and quick to obey. Respond with confession and commitment.
- What usually has the power to sidetrack or discourage you in your endeavors to let go or move on in things He has asked you to do?
- Do you consider the times He uses you in the mundane and private ways as valuable as in a public or grander format? Why or why not?
- Write down some to the gifts you know the Lord has given you and let Him reveal through your writing how He wishes to use them.
There are many things that I allow to take up my energy. Worrying is the main one. Letting go is also a big one for me. Being a control freak and all letting go is probably the hardest thing for me to do. Let go and let God needs to be my motto for this year!
