To those who feel like you have been run through the mill in recent days and months, you are entering a season of restoration. It will seem to be slow at first, but then there will be a rapid progression of healing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In the meantime, take your rest. Isaiah 58:8— “Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.”

Refuse to allow your mind to find things to worry about instead of putting your faith in Me to bring you through every challenge, says the Lord. Worry will get you nowhere except to undermine your faith. Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

“BELIEVE FOR IT”
There is a song by CeCe Winans that I enjoy. The song says, Believe God for it. Well, what is “?” Having faith in God must be rooted in God’s will and His way. We do have desires, likes, and so forth. But, have we asked God what is best for us and in this season? Believe God for it! Believe that God will never direct you wrong, but that He will direct you in wisdom.

You can make plans for the future, but you must hold them loosely. You do not know what tomorrow will bring, but you can trust Me to usher you into every new day and give you the strength, wisdom, and courage to endure. Take each moment as it comes as you seek Me for guidance and direction, says the Lord. Matthew 6:34— “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

It seems like you have been through a rough patch, and actually things have been more complicated and difficult, but you are coming through by the direction and power of My Spirit. Do not underestimate My involvement in
life and circumstances. I am with you always. Hebrews 13:5— “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said: I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns
There are things you do and think that are no longer relevant to who you have become. Set yourself to embrace where you are instead of where you have been. You are being renewed day by day to become the best version of yourself possible. Put the past behind you and step into the new you. Isaiah 43:18-19— “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

Refuse to spend your valuable time on regrets and wishing you had made better choices or lived your life with greater integrity or loved and been loved more completely. Begin again today with better choices and love in your heart for those around you. You are still alive and can still make a difference. John 15:12-13— “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down your life for your friends.”

You can expect your life to smooth out and not be as hectic as it has been. You will find simple solutions to difficult problems and be able to carry out assignments that have seemed to be beyond your ability handle. I have indeed gone before you to make crooked places straight, says the Lord. Isaiah 45:2-3— “I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.

When you feel spiritually like a tortoise in the desert, look to Me. I am your place of renewal and refreshment. Come to Me to be revitalized. Behold, I will do a new thing, so that you will know that I am with you, says the Lord. Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

This is a good time to tie up loose ends, to make good on your intentions and promises and to take care of issues where you have continued to procrastinate. This will help you go into the next season with a clean slate and the ability to move on unhindered. You will be glad you did. Proverbs 15:19 The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway.
