Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over. Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses. Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. Deuteronomy 34:7-12 NIV Do not be in a rush, but quiet yourself. Listen for me. I have places for you to be going in your time with me. There are lives to be healed and reached. Go forth as I show you. Become whom you were created to become.

Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. The Lord is in his holy temple;  let all the earth be silent before him. ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬, ‭20‬ ‭NIV

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25 NIV Listen for the sounds about you. They are of my creation. Each of their songs is unique. They sing out declaring what I have given them. Allow others to learn of me. Show them the truth through your life. Become who you were born to be in my kingdom. Be my reflection.

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ “  ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Come and sit with me. Give me your attention. Allow my ways and healing to flow through you. Bare my fruit. My spirit is there with you now, whether you realize it or not. You are not alone. Walk your way with me. I will provide the guiding you may need.

Like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭36‬-‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬ You should not only see the signs before you, but to recognize and follow them. Allow me to keep you safe. It is not the time to turn. My light will show you when you can turn to the right. Don't hurry through, but rest in my word. Allow it to feed and direct you.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Sit quietly with me. Pause and listen. Can you hear my thoughts? They are there. Don't hesitate to ask of me. Know that you are loved and there is a plan for you. I am the Lord creator God. I have made all things. Put your trust in me. Learn who you are within my ways.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Sit with me and be healed. Quiet your inner mind of those accusations of failure. You are whole with me. The price has been paid. Look outward, for I have places for you to be going. There are lives awaiting the smile and truth as it comes forth from you.
