Today, the Lord is reminding us of something very important:
His blessings do not come from striving.His promises are not fulfilled by force.His plans are not accomplished through exhaustion.
They flow from:
✔ Surrender
✔ Rest
✔ Trust
✔ Dependence on Him
As I’ve been spending time in the presence of God, I’ve felt His nearness so strongly.His breath.His wind.His peace.
God is with us.He is close to us.His love covers us.
His love sustains us.His love shelters us.His love surrounds us.
And His wind is at our back, pushing us forward into purpose.
We are still committed to discipline.We are still showing up.We are still being consistent.
But now we are learning how to move without striving.
We are learning how to work from rest.We are learning how to obey from trust.We are learning how to grow from surrender.
That is maturity.
Today, we lean into:
✔ The rest of God
✔ The closeness of God
✔ The peace of God
✔ The assurance of God
God’s plan for you is good.He has equipped you.He has prepared you.He has gone before you.
Nothing about your calling is accidental.
