Many voices declare many things, BUT GOD will have the final say. Rest is not found in figuring out what to say or do. “Resting in Him” is to trust the absolute sufficiency and authority of God. Our Father knows all, and He will give us apt words to speak. We rest in His knowledge, His Way, and His perfect timing. Silence is golden because it requires our obedience. As humans, we ask why? We feel the urge to justify. Wondering how come is the human way. Be careful to hold captive every thought. Do not flip out of trusting God and into panic. Are we a philosopher, an archeologist, a gossip, or a conspiracy generator? Do we persist in digging deep to make sense of why? God gave us the ability to reason, but God insists on keeping certain things a mystery! As a new creation in Christ, we submit our mental quest and crucify our why. Who are they anyway? Are they not also loved by God? Do not point blame, but offer mercy without question.

Our Father assures us. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For HE chose us in HIM before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in HIS sight. In love HE made known to us the MYSTERY of HIS will according to HIS good pleasure, which HE purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Eph 1 ❤️ Be found blameless in HIS sight.

In this broken world, the Deceiver tempts us to question God. This drive to know WHY or WHAT the future has in store for us is dangerous. When we pridefully think that we can predict outcomes or the next move of the Spirit, we are failing miserably in trusting God. In our intelligence, we neglect His sovereignty. “For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is in Him.” Psalm 62:5. If you feel distant from God. “So I directed my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by PRAYER and supplications, with FASTING, sackcloth and ashes.” ‭‭Daniel‬ ‭9‬:‭3‬ ‭—Draw near to God. Watch God move as you choose to fast from food, empty words, and pleasures. Pay attention to Who God is and what He is doing constantly, behind the visible on behalf of humanity. Praise His holy name, for He is worthy, and He intercedes for you so that You will know Him. Thank God for the lesson tucked inside the struggle. Regardless of the rumor, rest in the identity God gave you. “You are Mine and I know your heart.”

The One who is worthy of our trust, waits for us to rely on Him, not our own understanding. “As servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now, it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore, judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time, each will receive their praise from God.” 1 Corin 4:1-5 Gladly we wait on God.

“Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.” Rejoice in the goodness of God as He issues fresh mercies each day. Proverbs 15:30 💓 be merciful to yourself and to all who are going through hard times. Floods, Fires, Plagues, Sickness, and evil have had a devastating impact. AMEN

Wake ⏰️ and pray for…

Lord, thank You for waking me in the silence of early morning. Without the noise of competing distraction, I am here and listening. I pray that the Holy Spirit comes upon me to search my heart. Lead me to let go of bitterness detected. Lord, forgive me for any bad attitudes. Holy Spirit give me increased wisdom, faith, courage, and grace to meet the demands of this day. My desire is to serve the Kingdom of God, and to be a faithful witness. AMEN

Miracles happen as God moves. His way is easy, and His Spirit is moving right now, this very minute. He still shows up at the tomb of every Lazarus.  As His voice calls out to rise up and come, we obediently walk out and shout, praise the name of Jesus. He is able to do all things, and He has never lost a battle. From the impossible, we will see a miracle. Our God moves the unmoveable, He breaks the unbreakable, God we believed for it, and You did it. 🙌 Listening to the Album “Believe for it” by CeCe Winans. 🎵 🎶 There is such HOPE in the air we breathe.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7 — We were NOT called to IGNORE those who isolate, the lonely or the depressed need to be interrupted. Jesus called us His friend, regardless of our moods. Seasons change, and people change. Choose to forgive, visit, or write. If you keep score, grace is absent. The Spirit of God will let you know when it’s time to move on.  We all got grace when we didn’t deserve it. Be kind always. Return a frown with a smile

“Whoever acknowledges Me before others, I will also acknowledge before My Father in heaven. Anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me, and anyone who welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is My disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” Matthew 10 “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:16
