WISDOM FOR THE JOURNEY
Our
walk with the Lord is a spiritual journey. Every one of us will
encounter good times as well as bad times. Every one of us has a story
to be told that will also set others free. As Christians, the way that
we respond to difficult situations determines our destiny. Joseph
experienced constant betrayal. His brothers threw him in a pit and then
sold him as a slave. He was then thrown in a prison wrongfully, but
through it all he never sinned and never lost his focus because he had a
dream and was determined to see it fulfilled.
Psalms
105:19 says concerning Joseph, the time that his word came to pass, the
word of the Lord tested him. Pharaoh gave Joseph his signet ring as
well as authority over all of Egypt because the Lord gave Joseph favor
for his obedience. It was all in preparation of Gods plan which was not
only for Joseph but for his family and the nation of Israel. Some of you
are ready to throw in the towel but the Lord wants you to rise up and
shake off the despair. Every man and women of God who were used mightily
endured hardships.
The
Lord says as you continue on this journey, throw off the weights that
would slow you down. Discard of anything that would hinder you from
advancing. Don't carry any baggage from the past and don't look back as
this will slow down your pace. As you leave the past behind, your
mistakes of the past will not cancel out My plans for your future.
Forgive those who hurt you and release those who were malicious. I will
bring restoration and I will lead you back in the right direction if you
have gone astray.
Don't
allow worries to dominate your thoughts. As you come into alignment
with My will you will be able to receive clear instructions. Don't
entertain thoughts that bring fear and confusion. Stay focused and be
careful not to allow anything to impair your vision and obstruct your
focus. I have created you and called you by name, therefore I will give
you the strength and endurance for the journey ahead.
Seek
Me for the wisdom which is required for this journey. Seek Me for My
wisdom which your natural mind can not comprehend or discern. My wisdom
will lead you in the right direction and place you on the right path. As
you seek Me for wisdom and guidance, I will lead you with compassion
and guide you in peace through this journey. Never lose focus of the
dream that I have placed on the inside of you. Allow Me to take
residence in every area of your life as you walk with Me in this
Covenant that I have provided for you. You will then be able to rest in
the assurance knowing that I will truly watch over My Word to perform it
says the Lord.
Psalm 32: 8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
Proverbs 16: 9
A mans heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
1 Corinthians 2:14 -15
But
the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for
they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he
himself is rightly judged by no one.
