Today’s Reading:
Song of Songs 8
Psalm 66
Psalm 105
Who is this one? She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tree, as you were feasting upon me, I awakened your innermost being with the travail of birth as you longed for more of me.
Song of Songs 8:5 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Dainty morsels are here. Dainty morsels of goodness are here. Surprises are here. Dreams and desires for which you have long prayed are being made manifest. This is a good season. This is a very good season full of fulfillment for My lovers, full of fulfillment for those who have walked with Me in the wilderness, who cuts ties to the control and manipulation that once bound them or had a voice in their steps and days, who burned the oxen and the plowshares in a fruitful place and chose to heed the sound of My voice, the beckoning of My voice to come away with Me into the wilderness. These have been tried by fire. These have been purified, rinsed, cleaned and made whole. And then they have been purified some more and some more, and some more and some more. And now they are My shining ones. The ones whose beings shine like armor of pure silver — marked by redemption, love and honor.
Praise God, all you peoples. Praise him everywhere and let everyone know you love him! There’s no doubt about it: God holds our lives safely in his hands. He’s the one who keeps us faithfully following him. O Lord, we have passed through your fire; like precious metal made pure, you’ve proved us, perfected us, and made us holy.
Psalms 66:8-10 TPT
I have held theses ones in regard. I have kept My eyes on them. I have kept My hand, My guiding righteous right hand upon their shoulder as they walked in the barren desert wilderness and did not buckle, did not cave, did not back up or run away under the pressure, under the extreme heat, under the pelting sandy winds but instead stayed with Me. You stayed with Me. You stuck it out. And now we are emerging into a new place. We have crossed over, and I have clothed you afresh. I have rinsed and throughly cleansed the sand and the dust off of you. And you are standing in holy garments of purity and love and Holy Spirit power just beyond the threshold of this new day. You have crossed over into this new place and this new day. And the grit of the sand, the blistering, stinging winds, the scorching heat are not here.
So God brought out his chosen ones with singing; with a joyful shout they were set free! He gave them lands and nations, just like he promised. Fruitful lands of crops they had never planted were now theirs. All this was done for them so that they would be faithful to keep the ways of God, obeying his laws and following his truths. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Psalms 105:43-45 TPT
This is a new place, marked by My provision in a new way. It’s a place where you can advance farther faster and with much grace-filled ease. The time has changed.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord thank You that we have crossed over. Thank You that I have crossed over from a place of wilderness and testing to a place of refreshing, new advancing and grace. I want to be one who does not stumble in the new place because of the new ways of operating and new pace. Help me to acclimate quickly and succeed in all that You have for me here. Thank You for the surprises and for Your goodness and provision that I will find richly supplied here.
- Declare, Praise God, all you peoples. Praise him everywhere and let everyone know you love him! There’s no doubt about it: God holds our lives safely in his hands. He’s the one who keeps us faithfully following him. O Lord, we have passed through your fire; like precious metal made pure, you’ve proved us, perfected us, and made us holy.
Psalms 66:8-10 TPT - Decree, Great is the Lord’s faithfulness to me. He has tested me, tried me, refined me and purified me, and He has walked me from the place of wilderness testing into a new place of fruitfulness marked by great advancement that comes with grace-fueled ease.
