Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 51
Psalm 37
Psalm 90
Psalm 127
“Listen to me, you who chase after righteousness, you who passionately pursue the Lord. Look back to Abraham, the rock from which you were cut, to Sarah, the quarry from which you were dug, and remember what I did for them. Yes, look to Abraham your father and to Sarah, who bore you. For when I called Abraham, he was but one person, but I blessed him greatly so that one became many.” Indeed, Yahweh will comfort Zion, restore her, and comfort all her broken places. He will transform her wilderness into the garden of Bliss, her desert into the garden of Yahweh. Joy and laughter will fill the air with thanksgiving and joyous melodies.”
Isaiah 51:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
New growth is arriving. New growth is here. It’s to help you operate in this place. My faithfulness is falling down like a sweet sprinkling cloud above, and it is even teeming beneath your feet. You will see and feel and recognize My faithfulness everywhere you look. The gentle breeze will remind you. The sun shining will remind you. The song in your heart will remind you. So sing. Sing of My faithfulness. Sing of My goodness. And re-commit to the foundational covering of your first love.
“Find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh, and he will give you what you desire the most. Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!”
Psalms 37:4-5 TPT
To renew your commitment to Me, you don’t have to be far away. You can be the closest you’ve ever been and still decide to renew, to refresh, to re-vow. This is a time of easy and rapid growth. This is a time of ease in acceleration. Don’t take it for granted, and don’t think that you did it. In obedience to Me, to My instruction, you planted the seeds and cultivated the place of their planting, but remember — I Am the one who made them grow. Stay close to Me. Lean heavily and fully on Me. I will be your rest, your portion, your instruction and Your guide. I will counsel you in the way you should go. And I will counsel you with very direct and detailed instructions in how you are to manage this new season of growth. Remember this is a harvest and build season. You need to heed My voice of instruction, because you are not only called to harvest and manage the results of new growth right now. You are also called to build afresh.
“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.”
Psalms 127:1 TPT
I will instruct you in how to handle both the cultivation/harvesting and the building, but you must carve out time for that instruction. Of course I will talk to you all along the way. But make more room for Me. I have some detailed instructions and blessings that can only come in the secret place, in the carved out wee early hours of the day. This is a time to run, but if you don’t carry My instruction in your right hand, you will lose your way. Harken to Me. Carve out the extra hours for Me. And I will be the lamp to your path all along the way.
How to Respond
- Recommit your love and devotion to the Lord, even if you’ve not left Him.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for being my Counselor and Guide. Thank You for instructing me and for making the seeds of my planting grow. Help me to be disciplined in my pursuit of You, so that I can cultivate, harvest and build well in this acceleration season. I can’t do it well on my own, and I don’t want to sustain it without Your help.
- Declare, “O Lord our God, let your sweet beauty rest upon us. Come work with us, and then our works will endure; you will give us success in all we do.”
— Psalms 90:17 TPT - Decree, The Lord is faithful beyond my ability to comprehend. I am recommitting my devotion, love and faithfulness to Him. I will not lean on my own understanding. I will trust Him. I will seek Him, and I will carve out extra time to meet with Him to get insight and instruction in how to cultivate and manage both the harvest and the building He has called me to do in this time.
