Then Moses called for Joshua, and as all Israel watched, he said to him, “Be strong and courageous! For you will lead these people into the land that the LORD swore to their ancestors he would give them. You are the one who will divide it among them as their grants of land. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you." ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭28‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Listen for me throughout your day. I am there. I am with you, protecting you in your walk. Do not become afraid, but walk in my light. I will show you the way you need go.

O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭61‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Each day you've turned the page. It is empty and awaiting for what you would write in the lives of others. As you give to them you will grow in what I have for you. I can hear your prayers. Allow me to supply what you will need.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, so then, understand that those who believe are the sons of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” So then those who believe are blessed along with Abraham the believer. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭NET‬‬ Listen for me as I speak to you. I will give directions for your life. I will show you what I consider important. Listen as I speak. Do not ignore the simple things I will say. Follow me. I will provide all that you will need. Be believing in me.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Reach upward. Pull yourself into the light of my son. It is only there, in Him, you will find life. Release those fears and self-ambitions. Follow the way he shows you. Walk in his freedom .

Don't become lazy. Continue in the way I have for you. You can grow.

In that day you will say: “Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Are you where you think you should be? It's time to examine your thoughts and actions. Where am I within those things which you do? Don't be anxious. Reach out for my way to guide you.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious. In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean. He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭11‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Days come and go unannounced. They do what they were created to do. What of you? Are you reflecting what was set before you? Does my glory reflect for the homeless and the needy? Slow your ways and seek me. Allow me to be your healer and champion.

Stop. It's time to wash away the dirt which covers and protects you. Don't hide. Come from behind the covering and sit with me.
