Today’s Reading:
Psalm 37
Psalm 85
Isaiah 55
Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God, and you will dwell in the land, feasting on his faithfulness. 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! He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun.
Psalms 37:3-6 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God of all grace from whom all blessings flow say,
Transition is here. Change is now. It’s not some far off distant time. It is now. Your times are held in My hands. I hold your times close to My heart. They are precious to Me. I’m walking you right where you need to be. I’m aligning the pieces, the players, the moments, the days, the connections. Don’t fear the days ahead. Don’t look with concern at the road, the future, the provision or the need. I Am with you, and I Am in you. I surround you, and I have made a way for you. I hold your times in My hands.
“For my thoughts about mercy are not like your thoughts, and my ways are different from yours. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so my ways and my thoughts are higher than yours.” “As the snow and rain that fall from heaven do not return until they have accomplished their purpose, soaking the earth and causing it to sprout with new life, providing seed to sow and bread to eat. So also will be the word that I speak; it does not return to me unfulfilled. My word performs my purpose and fulfills the mission I sent it out to accomplish.” For you will leave your exile with joy and be led home wrapped in peace. The mountains and hills in front of you will burst into singing and the trees of the field will applaud! Cypress trees will flourish where there were only thorns and myrtle trees instead of briars. These will stand as a testimony to Yahweh’s renown, everlasting signs that will not be cut off.
Isaiah 55:8-13 TPT
This is the start of spring. This is the start of favor, of opening, of daylight, wisdom and understanding. Being mired in what ifs, doubt and fear has no place here. This is a time for bold confidence. This is a time to be filled to the brim and overflowing with faith and confidence that I led you to this moment on purpose and for a purpose. Some of your purposes have been hidden in Me, but you will see them begin to bloom in this springtime of favor in your life. I have held them back for the latter rains. I have held them back to improve the quality, the strength, the heartiness and the sweetness of the fruit they bear in your life. Yours is not an early harvest, nor is it late. It is right on time. I should know. I hold your times in My hand.
Flowers of your faithfulness are blooming on the earth. Righteousness shines down from the sky. Yes, the Lord keeps raining down blessing after blessing, and prosperity will drench the land with a bountiful harvest. For deliverance goes before him, preparing a path for his steps.
Psalms 85:11-13 TPT
Be at ease. Be at peace. And fill your heart with faith. Stir up great expectation of good, because the days of the springtime for which you have been waiting have arrived. That springtime is now. Those days are now. I have released them from My hand, and I have blown My breath of favor upon them. Watch them sprout, flower, bloom and grow. Watch the fruit that will be borne in your life. This is now.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord. Let the former pains of disappointment fall away, and make room to stir up great expectation of the Lord’s goodness in your life.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for holding my times in Your hands. Help me to stir up expectation and hope. Help me to have eyes to see the good things that You are causing to sprout in my life. Help me to understand the moment I am living in and the purposes You have for this time. I don’t want to miss a thing.
- Declare, The faithful lovers of God will inherit the earth and enjoy every promise of God’s care, dwelling in peace forever. —Psalms 37:29 TPT
- Decree, This is the springtime of the Lord’s favor in my life. All that has seemed held back and delayed, He is releasing. He is blowing His breath of life and favor on it, and it will bear great fruit in my life. I will not live in the land of disappointment. Inheritance, prosperity, the favor of the Lord and great fulfillment are my portion.
