Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Stop rushing through your day and find your time with me. Sit still and empty yourself of those bothers, Come deeper with me. Find yourself filled with me.

After King Hezekiah’s officials delivered the king’s message to Isaiah, the prophet replied, “Say to your master, ‘This is what the LORD says: Do not be disturbed by this blasphemous speech against me from the Assyrian king’s messengers. Listen! I myself will move against him, and the king will receive a message that he is needed at home. So he will return to his land, where I will have him killed with a sword.’ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭37‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NLT It is time for you to turn another page. Leave behind your past failure and move forward. Find yourself in me. It is there you can grow. I see within you what I have planted. My seed of life is present and growing.

One day as Jesus was teaching the people and preaching the Good News in the Temple, the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders came up to him. They demanded, “By what authority are you doing all these things? Who gave you the right?” “Let me ask you a question first,” he replied. “Did John’s authority to baptize come from heaven, or was it merely human?” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭20‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Like points of light, I have placed you in the world where you may walk. You reflect my presence. Show my way. Grow secure in going where I guide you.

Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John tried to talk him out of it. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you,” he said, “so why are you coming to me?” But Jesus said, “It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize him. After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Listen for me and you will hear my voice. I will direct you throughout the walk in your life. Each time I will draw you closer to me. Do not be fearful, but learn to trust in me.

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.
