Our Heavenly Father is omniscient: He knows all.He literally already knows the end from the beginning and can give you the wisdom and direction you need for your situation. In order to truly be “living” (active, full of life or vigor, functioning) epistles of our Father, our relationship with God cannot remain in a dormant state. We have to actively stir up the gift and rely on the Holy Spirit for day-to-day instructions and leading for the will of God to be in operation in and through our lives. Just like with any other meaningful relationship earthly relationship, God wants to be “present” AND “active” in your life. Stay sensitive to His voice so that He can be.

Your future is safe with God. He already has a divine purpose for your life, and though they may need to be developed and honed, He’s already equipped you with the natural gifts and talents to ultimately walk in it.
God loves you, and there is nothing you can do about it! He established that when He sent His Son Jesus to die for you so that you could be brought into right-standing with Him. If you’re God’s child, then you are privy to His “perfect peace” (John 14:27), wisdom and favor. Trust Him, and let Him lead your life (Proverbs 3:5-7). Tap into the “internal compass” that God has given you through the Holy Spirit. Pray in tongues. He not only will comfort you, but He will give you the power, guidance and discernment that you need. Rest in Him; He’s got you!.

☀️ As you prepare for the day, be sure to reflect on the mercy of God. He clearly demonstrated His love and grace through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus. It’s nothing that we did in and of ourselves, but through our salvation in Jesus, we have the freedom to live and walk around justified in God’s eyes. Not only do we have the gift of eternal life, but we have the benefit of having an actual relationship with Him and the privilege of receiving direction and comfort through the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
Don’t lose sight of the benefits of that relationship. God’s love for you is profound (John 15:13), and He desires for you to live victoriously in life. Just trust Him for direction and favor and be sure to give Him the glory every step of the way.

It’s important that we daily exercise humility and examine whether we’ve truly submitted our will and desires to God. Once we do this, we position ourselves not only to be honored by God, but for Him to save the time that we often waste trying to figure out our own lives and purpose as well as the fruitless efforts spent attempting to bear the cares of this world. God wants us to put our confidence in Him and trust that He is more than able to handle any burdensome emotions or concerns that have tried to come against our minds. He cares about each and every detail of your life. So give them to Him once and for all. He’s consistent even when others and even our own emotions are not (Hebrews 13:8); and His affection towards you won’t change. Rest in that fact today. YOU. ARE. LOVED. .

While happiness is literally a human emotion that can vary from day to day, minute to minute, the joy of the Lord, just like our Father God, is unbothered by the circumstance of this world or our lives. The joy that we get from God and through honoring Him with our lives is truly a gift. The more time we stay in His presence, the more joy we are filled with (in His presence is fullness of joy). Take the time today to fill up on His joy and to continue to meditate on His Word.

As believers in Christ, we have received a new identity, but have you truly embraced that identity? We belong to God, and our citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20). Our conversation, values and ways of doing things may appear to be foreign to this world the more we become like Christ and the fruits of the Spirit manifest themselves in our lives.
Rejoice today that your identity is in Christ: you are redeemed from the curse of the law (Gal.3:13)! You are the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21), you are THE healed (1 Peter 2:24), accepted (Ephesians 1:6), you have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5-8) and so much more! Meditate on who and Whose you are and your confidence on the authority that you have IN Christ will grow.

🙌 There is healing and breakthrough in your worship whether on your knees or through your daily walk with God. Allow God to transform you and your mind daily so that you will understand what His will is for your life. Trust and find comfort in the fact that He knows best for you.

🤔 Are you known for showing mercy and kindness to others? We have the awesome responsibility and privilege of representing the King of all kings - the Creator of the universe (2 Corinthians 5:20). We are His ambassadors and that means communicating His priorities and passions with love and truth being at the core of them. Let’s commit anew and ask for God's help in more accurately demonstrating the heart of God to others. Extend mercy today to someone that doesn’t deserve it. Be kind to those you interact with today. Not only will it make God proud, but it will bring us favor both in His sight and in the sight of others. Have a blessed day.
