Today’s Reading:
Psalm 127
Psalm 32
Proverbs 24
If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders, they will labor in vain to build a house. If God’s mercy doesn’t protect the city, all the sentries will circle it in vain. It really is senseless to work so hard from early morning till late at night, toiling to make a living for fear of not having enough. God can provide for his devoted lovers even while they sleep!
Psalms 127:1-2 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Chase the dreams in your heart. I put them there. I’m the author of the dreams. Go after your dreams. Make them a reality. I will help you. But you have to take the first step. Do all I’ve put into your hands to do, and look up and ask for more. Ask for more love. Ask for more kindness. Ask for more patience. I will abundantly supply you according to all of My riches in glory.
I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!”
Psalms 32:8-9 TPT
You are not starting from a place of lack. You’re starting from the elemental. You think you need more to build, and you do. But you don’t need more to get started. Go ahead and get the ball rolling with what you’ve got, and see how I multiply it. See how the fishes and the loaves continue to multiply and manifest. And see how this great and special work feeds many — in the spiritual and in the natural. Do what I’ve put in your heart. Don’t put it off.
A hundred and then a million flowers bloom right from the place of your planting. I’m awakening a new creative aspect of you that you didn’t know was there, and you will create. You will build. You will plant, and I will cause the multiplication, the manifestation, the abundance, and I will cause these many seeds you plant to grow and to bloom. And you will look up, and they will be grown and will have expanded 10 fold.
Wise people are builders — they build families, businesses, communities. And through intelligence and insight their enterprises are established and endure. Because of their skilled leadership, the hearts of people are filled with the treasures of wisdom and the pleasures of spiritual wealth.
Proverbs 24:3-4 TPT
This is the time of the multiplied benefit and the multiplied outcome for the builders. So build. Build all I’ve put in your heart to build, and then build some more. The ideas will keep flowing, so you will need to keep building to stay tapped into the flow. My grace is here for the builders and for you in particular, I’m calling you out. Don’t put it off. Begin to build what is in your heart today.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord, and be obedient to step out and begin to build what He’s put in Your heart.
- Pray, Lord, I barely know where to start. Help me to take what You’ve put in my heart and in my hands and begin to build with it. I don’t want to get hung up on all of the other pieces and inputs I need to make this work. Give me a clear understanding of how to begin to build, and I know Your grace will continue to help me all along the way through completion. Thank You Lord.
- Declare, Professional work habits prevent poverty from becoming your permanent business partner. And: If you put off until tomorrow the work you could do today, tomorrow never seems to come.
— Proverbs 24:33-34 TPT - Decree, I will not delay to obey the instruction of the Lord. I will start working with what He has put in my hands. I will begin to build what He has put on my heart. And I will not be beset by fear of the outcome, fear of lack or fear of man. I will keep my eyes on the Lord, and I will keep my hands busy with the work He has called me to do. He will provide the resources, connections, people and opportunities to make these endeavors thrive.
