If you want to thrive and grow and be all that God called you to be, you have to have deep roots planted in His house, in His service, and in His worship that your soul may be fully nourished in Him.
“Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God,” Psalm 92:13.
YOUR DELIVERANCE IS FROM GOD ALONE! “Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.” Psalm 62:1
You are created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27)! You are a child of God (John 1:12)! You are a chosen people and a royal priesthood (1 Pet. 2:9)! And, you have been raised with Christ (Col. 3:1). It is far more important to know what God says about you than what others say about you!
GOD SEES SO MUCH MORE FOR YOU! “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”John 15:16
GOD IS OUR RIGHT NOW HELP! What mountains are shaking before you right now? What waters are roaring against you in this present moment? What in your life is making a lot of noise and seems fearsome? Know this, GOD IS OUR REFUGE! He is our hiding place and our STRENGTH, and our HELP through everything that comes our way! He is our RIGHT NOW AND PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE!
Listening for the God who’s speaking – God is speaking to us, dear friends. Are you listening? If you are listening, are you hearing? Are you hearing from Him?
Often we focus on the fact that God hears us and answers our prayers. I, myself, have written on it several times. But, can we take a step to the side of self and listen for Him? Purposely open oneself to hear what He has to say to you, at this time, at this moment, for this day?
In John 10:27, Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” The first noticeable aspect of that verse is they hear His voice. Their hearts and minds are not just baaing away; instead, they are opened in anticipation and waiting. There is but one voice that garners their attention, and that’s the Shepherd. All other attractions and distractions fade into the back when He speaks.
Friends, God is actively speaking to His sheep. God is opening up to His people, His followers, His will, His words, and His ways. Are our ears tuned into Him as the sheep of His pasture, or are we letting other noises of this world disrupt the flow between Him speaking and our hearing?
God, we need to hear from You. I pray that You keep speaking to us. And, I pray even more fervently that we would listen and act on what You have to say. In the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Revelation 19:7-9
You, dear child of God, have nothing to fear. You are secured in His power. You are secured in His love. Fix your heart on Him and be courageous. Trust in God alone.
