But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8:25 (NIV) There is a way to wait as you position yourself for all that God is going to do. Whatever you’re expecting, know that He has not forgotten you. Don’t stop believing that He is working it out and there are already set plans ahead. Trust God and remain Spirit-led. It takes faith to remain steadfast when you have to posture yourself to wait. Hang in there, because He is never late. Be patient, wait on the Lord and don’t give up now. God is going to show up, even if you don’t understand how. Stay the course. ADaubon

You Are Loved

But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (Amp.) For everyone that feels unloved, know that there is no greater love than from the One who gave HIs only begotten son for us. His love is unconditional, unchanging, unwavering, irrevocable, and it never fails. When you were at your worst, His love pursued you. When you’re at your lowest, His love lifted you. When you were lost, His love loving guided you into His truth. His love won’t let you down. Return to your first love. Run back to the lover of your soul. Find rest in the loving arms of the true and living God, who first loved you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17 (NIV) Blessing and protection shall cover us in all that we do in His name. Know that your work is not in vain. The Lord will establish you and place you on a firm foundation. Go forward, place all your trust in God without trepidation. All that you do will prosper, because it is Him that is working through you. Denounce everything that is trying to hinder you from doing what God has called you to do. Walk in your favor and purpose as He guides you through your purpose and to your destiny. God is with you and you are surrounded by His grace and mercy. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Think over the things I am saying [grasp their application], for the Lord will grant you insight and understanding in everything. 2 Tim. 2:7 (Amp.) God give us the gift of discernment. Help us to see life through your lenses. We want to truly grasp all that you would have us to see. Help us to drown out all the noise in our lives, so we can hear you clearly. We want to be in tune and in perfect harmony with the rhythm of life that you have set before us. Keep us in alignment with your will in every area of our life. We denounce confusion and chaos in our mind, hearts and life. We declare clarity of mind, a stable and healed heart and a life lived purposefully for you. Have your way in us and through us, as we proclaim you are Lord over us and everything that concerns us. In Jesus name, amen. Stay the course and press forward. ADaubon

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 (NRSVU) God carries us through every battle and protects us during the storms. Sometimes, it is when we get on the other side that we realize just how much God has kept us. When we look back over our life we can sit back and thank God for every trial He brought us over. What should have destroyed us, refined us. What should have overtaken us, only took our faith to another level. What should have stopped us in our tracks only pushed us closer to our purpose and call. It is only because of the grace and mercy of God that we are still standing. It is only by His hand that we have been able to stand through it all. So, when life is lifing, remember God is still being God in our life. He carries us and comforts us through it all. Stay encouraged, God has you and all that concerns you in the palm of His hand. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. Isaiah 49:16 (NIV) Isn’t it assuring to know that you are engraved in the Master’s hand. Rest in knowing that God has you. Walk by faith, trust in God and always remember God can’t forget you because you are engraved in His hands. He formed you while you were yet in your mother’s womb. He has set aside a purpose for you before the foundations of the earth. You are set apart for a divine assignment. Nothing in your life catches Him by surprise or off guard. His angels encamp around you and His protection goes before you. You are in the palm of His hands and your life is His masterpiece. No matter what it looks like know that it is well, because God has you. Therefore, it is working for your good. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

A [closed-minded] fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his personal opinions [unwittingly displaying his self-indulgence and his stupidity]. Prov. 18:2 (Amp.) A closed mind is unwilling to gain new information or see anything from a different perspective. Don’t let stubbornness cause you to live in a vacuum. Surround yourself with those who can pour into you and help you grow. Be willing to receive and be open to learn things that you may not know. Strong opinions that are not rooted in anything other than your own thoughts and no real guidance or understanding of the facts can be dangerous. Set aside your pride and let the Holy Spirit guide you. Be willing to seek greater understanding and humble yourself to receive. Press Forward and Stay The Course! ADaubon

Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. Psalm 146:5 (NIV) Place all your cares in the hands of the Lord and put your faith into action. You can look to many sources, but only in Him will you find complete satisfaction. Lean on God, trust HIs timing, for He is omniscient – all knowing. He has the blueprint and has divinely orchestrated where you are going. Let faith be the antidote to worry when disappointments come your way. Trust Him to watch over you all your days. Remember those who hope in Him are truly blessed. Pray, give it all to God and let Him do the rest. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance]. Prov. 16:3 (Amp.) God, we surrender our all to you. We desire to be in your will and do what you created us to do. Our hearts have many desires, but the only ones that matter are the ones that are in alignment with your plans. We submit all our dreams and hopes to you; for our future is in your hands. Build our faith where there is lack or trepidation. Help us to trust you in every situation. We don’t want anything more than we want to be in your will. Help us to wait on you, seek your face and be still. We will lean on you for every situation and endeavor we desire. Your plans for us will take us further and higher. Speak to us God and have your way. We will follow you for the rest of our days. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
