Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Dear one, you feel pressured by time. You feel the clock ticking, the minutes passing, the “to do” list calling, in fact, shouting for your attention. Reframe this mental picture. You are the master of time. You choose when to sleep, when to wake, when to eat, when to clean, when to work. Your ‘to do’ list waits patiently for you. The Tyranny of time is overthrown. This is My divine perspective. Yes, you have time requirements for work hours, appointments and self-care, but they don’t have to cause a panic inside you. I can be there to help. I can offer you wisdom for time management so you are ready on time, sleep well, eat well and experience joy throughout the day. I want you to dispel the lie that there is too much to do and that you can’t get it all done. I say – you can have a fruitful day and complete each task thoughtfully and deliberately. Yes, there will be more to do tomorrow and that’s okay. That’s the way it always is. Recall my admonition: Today has enough worries on its own – don’t fret about tomorrow. Now I say to you “Don’t fret about today – I feed the birds. How much more do I care for you?” Today is a day to honor Me with your thoughts and deeds. Today you taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;

blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.

Psalm 34:8 NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Daily bread – This is what I offer you…  daily nourishment and sustenance… Daily spiritual calories to give you energy, focus and drive to start the day with enthusiasm and purpose… Daily bread to chew and digest and fill your spiritual mind and body to walk in power and faith… Daily bread to stay alert to My words and whispers.  Go forth and conquer the day!

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life;

 whoever comes to Me shall not hunger,

and whoever believes in Me shall never thirst.”

John 6:35

I hear the Lord say:

Be assured that My love for you is secure and My plans for you are good. You are important to Me and are being molded in My image. Your presence matters. Your life and well-being are precious to Me. You offer hope to others. You desire to share My goodness to others. Keep pressing in.  It’s one day at a time. Let Me guide you and offer you a joy-filled day.  Cast your cares on Me. All is well.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

Psalm 139:17  AMP

I hear the Lord say:

I love you with an everlasting love! I offer you peace in a turbulent world. When you see Me hold out My hand and offer you peace, be sure to take it. Many will see My offer but not accept it; therefore, they remain in turmoil and strife.  My offer is available 24/7. When you realize the weight of the day is getting heavy, pass your yoke to Me. Soon you will notice that you accept and absorb My peace before the burden oppresses you.  You will wake every morning and surrender it all. Because you trust in Me, you realize there is no burden. Hallelujah! There is no burden. Your life – your mind, body and spirit, are in My capable Hands. Since I am Lord of All, I am more than capable to care for you and bring you blessings each day.  Joy for each day and relief from trials…reaching deeper into Me and My ways; united in purpose and united in love.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me,

for I am gentle an lowly in heart, 

and you will find rest for your souls.

Matthew 11:29  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Continue in an attitude of thankfulness.  Each day is a gift with the sunrise your beautiful bow.  Pull on the ribbon and anticipate a glorious day. A day to lean in and absorb all My Goodness.  A day to go treasure hunting for nuggets of truth. A day to be refreshed at a beautiful waterfall from My rivers of grace.  Let Me walk at your side, pointing out people that need a smile, a hug, a kind word, encouragement or prayer.  Be mindful of Me so I can whisper to you what each person needs. Tell others of My goodness and light.  Be my beacon to the world.

My revelation-truth is a gift to you,

so remain faithful to my instruction.

Proverbs 4:2  TPT

I hear the Lord say:

Take one day at a time. Desire My fruit. My Holy Spirit is available and willing to impart all these character traits to refine your personality to be a mirror image of Me.  As you abide in Me, you gain My perspective, My love, My patience, My kindness, My goodness, My faithfulness, My gentleness, My self-control, and My forbearance. Let My waves of grace gently calm and soothe your soul.  All is well.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, self-control;

against such things there is no law. 

Galatians 5:22-23  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

My sheep hear My voice. Keep reading Scripture. Keep praying. Keep watching. Keep listening. Let Me burrow deep in your soul, mind and heart. Let Me fill up all areas of your inner being so I can fully abide in you. I offer all of Myself to you so you must offer all of yourself as well. I know you inside and out. I am transforming you inside and out. Beloved, be assured that as you seek more of Me, you will discover and personify more of Me.  Trust Me one day at a time. Growth is a steady process. It can’t be rushed. Be content for today and find moments to thank Me and honor Me.

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures…  Luke 24:45  ESV
