His Plan for Success Today
“Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.” (Psalm 89:15)
“You walk and walk forward through My strength, but sometimes you step back in dismay. There is no need to be concerned when doors do not open as you thought would happen. I will not allow the wrong doors/opportunities to dissuade you. Even your missteps are ways for Me to guide you and teach you of what to watch for when pursuing success.
You see, success is sometimes different for you than it is for Me. I see success when you hear Me and proceed down My path with new knowledge about My faithfulness. My attribute of faithfulness should bring stability and lack of fear into your encounters with life daily.
Keep walking and listening as you go. I am with you wherever you go. You will succeed, because that is My plan for you.”

Enter His Rest
“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I [Paul] will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
“Will there be anything unusual or different happen today in your workplace? You do not know right now if circumstances will arise that you did not expect. Maybe there will be decisions to make and fires to smolder.
Paul spoke of contentment because he rested in Me. He knew the enemy’s job was to sidetrack him, but his focus was on the prize of pleasing Me and preparing the hearts around him for the Gospel message. The more he ran to Me, the closer we became.
Was he happy with his life? Yes, he was exceedingly content in every circumstance. He told Me so with his lips, and I saw it in his heart and actions.
Were Paul’s plights like yours? Maybe yes and maybe no. The One similarity is Me. Confidently speak your secret concerns to Me, and you will have your rest today, also.”

His Seed
“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:29)
“Did you know that you are My seed? My plans are for you to root, grow and bring forth new seeds. I am the Creative God, and you are My unique creation.
Do not be downcast at what you see yourself producing. You are planted in good soil because you get your nourishment from Me. I will not let you down. You will not wither from lack of sustenance. You will not be stunted from lack of caretaking. You will flourish on your path because the Son walks with you.
Do not look at the problem areas around you that you are not meant to solve. Look at what I give you to do, and you will succeed. Whether these things are small or large in your own eyes, progress comes about as you walk the plan that I lay out for you.
As My seed, you are My heir according to My promise. Digest this, and rejoice in another day to get your strength and nutrients from Me!”

Winding Up or Down?
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God? And that is what we are!…” (I John 3:1)
“Winding down? Is it the time of year to ‘wind down’? Actually, I believe it is the time of year to ‘wind up’, too.
If you are ‘winding down’, then you feel that you are completing something. Are you completing a year that has satisfied you? Have you had results that you had planned? Are there a few more people who you want to present Me, too? I hope so. I am a Gift, you know… a Gift of unmeasured value; a Gift that lasts Forever. Ummm… that’s a nice Gift, yes? Yes, I’ll walk with you while you ‘wind down’ your year by sharing Me with others.
It is also the time of year to ‘wind up’. To ‘wind up’ is to be hopeful about the New Year approaching. Are you ‘winding up’ and looking forward to new adventures and tasks completed in the New Year? If so, then good! I have plenty of new sites for you to see, and new vistas to awaken your mind to in the New Year.
I enjoy this time of year when Jesus is celebrated. I hear His Name mentioned more often. I see happiness that I would like to see all year long.
Just for Me… enjoy these last days of the year, whether you are ‘winding down’ or ‘winding up’. Let yourself rest in the moment as much as you can rather than get lost in the ‘winding up or winding down’. Just focus on celebrating Me with other smiling faces. Come Celebrate! Remember the beginnings of the Christ-child Jesus, Who became Your Savior, Redeemer and Best Friend.”

A Reason to Rejoice
“But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.” (Psalm 5:11)
“Rain, sleet, snow or hail… I AM. I am always available. For questions about tomorrow or answers regarding yesterday, I am there. The future comes because I AM. The past arrived because I AM.
Don’t be pressured into wandering too far into the future with haste, because I am there and will place you where you need to be in the right timing. Rely upon Me for any concerns. Don’t you remember that Billy Graham said that worry is paying a debt before it falls due? Good perception of worry, isn’t it?
Actually, I could say: ‘Let’s see what you can worry about today.’ You would find something, wouldn’t you?
Instead, be joyful and thankful that you have Me in your life. Some people don’t even know that I exist. Spread your wings today and fly to new heights. Every moment there is a reason to live under the shadow of the Almighty.”

A Day to Rejoice!
“I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me.” (Psalm 57:2)
“Does your mind even wander to places that are Utopian and free of concerns? Surely it has. Don’t you think that Utopia is My thought, too, for you? Some day that will come about as you serve Me then step into Heaven.
But, until that day the earth below heaven needs you. I really want you to dream about what you can do to change your present surroundings to reflect My goodness. When you have completed that task, then Heaven will be your house.
Until then, let’s wander through some thoughts. Who needs Me around you? Can you put this down on paper? Do they need My counsel through you? Do they have questions about Who I am? Whatever is needed, I’ll give you words to say.
I’m serious. Who are you thinking of now? Go to them, and watch Me work through you. This will then be a day to rejoice.”

Live Life Well
“But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” (John 3:21)
“Have you noticed that your day is about your life and how to live it well? You educate yourself so you can live life well. You choose a job so you can live life well. You select a mate so you can live life well. Daily you read books and materials so you can live life well.
What is My point?
There are many who walk this pattern and identical path that you walk, except for one step I haven’t mentioned: You find it valuable to consult Me in order to live your life well. This is a necessary step for everyone… to talk with Me, your Maker and Provider. If I am not included in these other steps, then those steps can often be fruitless. Life’s whole path and even life’s end result does not have the value people seek for and want to obtain, if I am not included.
I am asking you today to keep in mind how important it is to share Me with others. To live life well, I am the factor that determines if and how a person is able to … live life well.”

My Hand of Joy and Peace
“Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
(1 John 5:5)
“My passion is deep for My sons and daughters.
Everyone longs for Me, but many try all sorts of things to fill that void until they find Me. It would certainly be easy if they first stepped into My arms, so I would be allowed to guide and prepare their paths.
I love My created that I made in My image and gave them breath. I have no intention of walking away from them unless a person chooses to live without Me.
But, the question is how will they learn about Me other than watching you?
Do not walk under the cloud of stress today in order to be My witness. Also, do not pretend to be who you are not under that veil of perfectness. I simply ask you today, ‘Who am I to you?’ Now walk uprightly under My hand of Joy and Peace for the sake of those around you.”

Giving Stability
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)
“There is a counterculture today that is in contradiction to the norm of the times. Actually you may even wonder what the norm of the times is.
Do you realize that Jesus was considered to be in the counterculture? He was in contradiction to the culture of the religious leaders of His time.
Wherever you are, this conflict of good in opposition to evil will appear. Realize that the people around you today of any age will be a part of this conflict. What goes in the eyes and ears with the music they hear, the movies they watch, and the people they listen to even in their own homes will sway them in this contradiction of good versus evil. What they need is someone like you who knows what you believe. You know what is right and wrong.
Today when people freely step on the national flag and harm those in the military who train to protect you, what is needed is your standard. There are those who secretly admire you for your service to do good and what is honorable. They see stability in you. Know that you are making a difference in seeking My directions daily. You are changing lives whether you see it directly or not.”

Lord, Show Me the Way
“This is what the Lord says: ‘Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.'” (Jeremiah 6:16)
“Where are you going? What is your path? What is your purpose?
If you know why you are where you are and doing what you are doing, then you’ll have the drive to move forward daily. Establish your goals. Write them down.
Don’t walk aimlessly with no vision, and therefore no ambition. There is a saying that you must ‘plan your attack.’ It is the same for you. Lay out what you want to obtain in the end. Walk towards that goal deliberately… even cautiously with intent.
And don’t forget to ask Me for your initial goal… and then for wisdom along the way. I want to see you succeed, not just long-term, but moment by moment.”
“Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.” (Proverbs 3:13-14)
