Joy with Purpose
“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” (Psalm 94:19)
“Where does joy come from? You might say it comes from within your being.
Do you think joy comes more to some people than others because of their personality? It can, but a personality is only part of your make-up.
Your spiritual foundation is what brings your attitude into a positive light. Walking with Me is what brings the settled mindset no matter what your course is.
When scripture says “I am the way and the truth and the life…” (John 14:6), there is deep meaning to this. I want to give you the way, the truth, and the life daily as you enjoy serving Me where I have placed you.
Let this be a day where joy is your attitude that gives you fervent, tenacious, positive aggression as you walk with purpose under My covering.”

A Time of Pleasure
“… In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will…” (Ephesians 1:4-5)
“Summertime is seen as a time for pleasure, but I see pleasure every day of the year. How about you?
In fact, you are My pleasure. I see your efforts; I see your losses; I see your comings and goings. I see pleasure in you as My child, My created pleasure.
I would like for you to soak in My created pleasures today. There are not only the pictures in the sky, but the colors in the landscape. Whether you are an animal lover or not I created them for your pleasure.
More than any other pleasure I want you to see those you work with as My pleasures. Every child, teenager and adult is My pleasure, My created pleasures like you. Enjoy your day, knowing that I am smiling a lot at My pleasures. Will you smile with Me?”

Trust Him and Be Safe
“…but he who trusts in the Lord will prosper. He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.” (Proverbs 28:25-26)
“I’m not saying that no trials will come your way, because trials are where the wisdom flourishes. And, once wisdom is received and accepted, more wisdom is captivated in your mind for future use again. Wisdom also stirs up hope… hope that tomorrow will bring forth accomplishments you have been looking forward to seeing.
Trusting Me brings forth a future of promises fulfilled. Promises? Yes, promises that I speak of in My Word. You don’t need to challenge Me, but challenge yourself in believing in these promises coming to pass.
Enjoy your day… trusting Me and being safe with My wisdom.”

God’s Gifts Through Us
“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit… Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” (1 Corinthians 12:4, 7)
“Don’t be concerned about what gifts you have, because if you are open to My ways, then I will use you and put you in the situations needed to do My will today.
Yes, you excel in certain gifts that I have given to you, but many gifts I give to you as needed to take care of My plans for the day.
Just remember that your day is made for Me to bring others closer to Me.
Your day is to see Me use you.
Your day is to develop testimonies for you to have to use.
Your day is to rejoice in who I am, and in who you are with Me working through you.
Be available for any gift that I might use through you, whether just for this time or for other times to come. Enjoy this day! Be open to Me, and just watch this day unfold in a meaningful way!”

Welcome This New Day!
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)
“Welcome to a new day at work! But let’s not call it ‘work’ today. Let’s say ‘Welcome to a new day of achieving My goals in the workplace!’ Does that make it better?
It is all in how we can walk together and frame this day. Let’s frame today with excitement, purpose, and resolve to complete what I have for you to do.
And what do I want you to complete? I want your frame of mind focused on enjoying where you are and knowing that I have plans to complete through you and that will surely happen.
So keep your eyes and ears open to Me today. Now let’s step out together with a smile of welcome to this new day of anticipation and achievements.”

Fulfill His Purpose Today
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” (Proverbs 19:21)
“Is there anything happening in your life that hasn’t happened to another in some fashion? No.
And have you thought that your outcome would be the same as another? That shouldn’t be your gaze. You and I walk a different path with your experiences that can have a different outcome than what you have seen in the lives of others.
Yes, you can learn from others experiences, but our path can be specific to this time and place and purpose. I see it all and know what plans there are to be fulfilled in everyone’s life surrounding each circumstance.
I want your day to have trust, security and joy in knowing that I’ve called you to a specific path today, and together we will completely fulfill the purpose that I have for you.”

Our Positive Stance Today
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10)
“Do you see Me as a statue on your desk or a picture on the wall or a card in your pocket? I am none of those things.
My characteristics are both tenderness and strength. They can’t be contained in a statue or picture or card. In fact, all that I am can’t be contained in a word, thought or anything tangible or intangible.
So with the knowledge of Who I am, can I assist you today in your work?
Do you think My ideas can carry you through this day with your desired results? Well, do you think we can obtain My desired results? If so, then let’s make our stance in ‘position: positive’ and proceed!”

The Mission for Today
“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.” (2 Corinthians 2:14-15)
“You have heard the saying ‘until you walk a mile in my shoes, you will not know what I have been through.’
If you think your work day is difficult, realize that many people around you are walking that mile of distress. It is distress to them because they don’t know Me. Walk with them. Be compassionate. Know that I placed you there with them.
No, neither you nor those around you will ever need to walk the mile that I walked, because I already walked it for you and for them.
Be a light for them today and show them the way.”

His Love is in Control
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me — just as the Father knows me and I know the Father — and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (John 10:14-15)
“As with you, people can see the good things that you do to reflect Me, but they still don’t want to serve the God you serve. So how do you reach those around you? Submit yourself to Me, and I am the One to open eyes and hearts to desire Me. I know the thoughts and intents of each heart whether their mind is stayed on good or evil.
Submit to Me today, and you will be a reflection of Me regardless of who accepts or doesn’t accept Me. The outcome is in My hands, because I do want all to know Me and be in My family of love.
If you knew My love for each person who has My breathe in them, then you wouldn’t question My ways. Just submit to Me today, and I will use you for the sake of others around you.”

Labor and Rest
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
“Do you ask yourself ‘Why are there only so many hours in a day? Why do I have so much to do?’
Realize that I am the One who made the day and night. I formed the stars, moon and sun. Your work day is only meant to have a limited number of hours. Don’t let anxiety overtake you.
Acknowledge times of rest and times of work as equally important.
I want to see your smiles during times of rest, so you can carry them over to times of labor. Allow the balance to be there.
I am the One who assists you in your accomplishments anyway, so don’t be fearful of moments and times of rest.
Where is your focus? Pursue goodness and all My attributes even in your labors. When I was a carpenter, I had the same attributes as when I loved My disciples into My Kingdom. I did not have 2 personalities. Stand before Me and stand before your labors with the same focus and personality. Be Me in all that you do, and your labors will not be as heavy.”
