I could speak to you in such romantic terms all the daylong but I know you wonder how this works out in the practical. You think, “How can I learn to do such a thing? After all I have been doing things another way for so long. How do I shift? How do I dance in the midst of life immersed in grace…infused by grace?”

Seeing I have been perfectly capable and trustworthy to hold the times and seasons in place, I am more than able to handle and help you navigate the seasons of your life…more than capable of giving you counsel just as I gave it to David in his night seasons (Psalms 16:7).

Let My Peace mount garrison over your heart and stand guard throughout your day (Philippians 4:7). Read My love notes with the eyes of your heart. “But where are they?” you ask.

Like Moses, you have been called out of the wilderness, for you know who your Father in Heaven is. I am the Lord God of Israel —the great I AM that I AM. I called you from birth, from conception. I knit you together for a purpose beyond your comprehension to be fulfilled in the here and now (Psalms 139:13-28). Destiny in life is lived moment by moment, day by day.

Beloved, there are more acts to come, so don’t leave the play by walking in doubt and unbelief regardless of what scene is taking place in front of you. Leave the past behind where it belongs, and, don’t leave the play before the curtain opens on the next scene (Philippians 3:11-14).

Joy says to you this morning, “I am your strength. I am the joy of your salvation, so don’t focus on your lack (Psalms 95:1; Psalms 118:15). Focus with a grateful heart on all the Lord has done in bygone days. Focus on the promises He has given you with a heart of faith.

There is some uproar in the body of Christ to day when anyone uses the term meditation, because it is linked in the minds of many people with new age, Buddhism or Hinduism. But the fact is Meditation, is NOT new age, they stole it from us. The Jew’s and Christians have been meditating for over 4,000 years.

Yes, My light is separating all darkness. It is separating all dark places that have labeled you with an orphan heart. You are no longer an orphan but a son adopted into My Kingdom and you call Me Abba Father (Romans 8:15 Galatians 4:6). You are not a slave to any darkness. You are My offspring. You are My son—My daughter.

Yes, come My beloved one and throw off all encumbrances, all useless burdens you were never meant to bear, all distractions, and all failures of days and seasons past (Hebrews 12:1). Distractions cause confusion as a multiplicity of anxieties crowd your mind and cause you to act with folly and disorder. Confusion is a brutal robber of peace. Its desire is to overthrow and defeat a peaceful contented heart to the point your trust in Me and My goodness is eroded. Look away from all things distracting you no matter how little or insignificant they may seem (Hebrews 12:2). Even a small thing, when fixated on, has great power.
