To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Prov. 21:3 (NIV) In every situation there is a choice we have to make. When faced with decisions and considering your words and actions weigh it with the character and word of God. The Lord is with us and knows all. He knows the secret places of our heart and monitors our actions. Choose wisely with discernment. Let all that we do and say be a love offering to God. And when we miss the mark, repent and start again with the help of the Lord. Surrender to Him as He continues to make us into His image from the inside out. Living to please Him is what it’s all about. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Let Go and Let God Lead

Do not remember the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 (Amp.) Center your thoughts and open your heart to what God is doing in your life right now, without letting the past hold you back. Being fixated on our mistakes and unpleasant experiences hinders us from being fully present in the moment. Make peace with what you’ve gone through knowing that God is working it all together for your good and His glory. Be willing to let go of everything within and without that keeps you bound and go in the direction that God is leading. May we forge ahead with attention and focus. Get in position for what God is doing right now. Your present deserves your presence. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance. Psalm 94:14 (NIV) Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.” Luke 10:16 (NIV) Often, what we see as rejection is God’s divine protection. When doors close and people change, consider it God’s redirection. When individuals pull away and distance themselves, don’t be alarmed, because you don’t understand. God removes those who are not part of His plan. When people hurt you because they are not healed, don’t let their broken pieces cut you. Don’t let the negative energy from others shift your mood or question your value. Often, it’s the Holy Spirit that illuminates in you that they cannot stand. You won’t crumble when they walk away, because God upholds you with His mighty right hand. You were not meant to be liked by everyone, but rather loved by the One who matters the most. You are the apple of His eye and adored by the Lord of Hosts. Take your disappointments and pain to Him and receive healing from above. One thing is for sure, God cares for you with an everlasting love. Be set free from the spirit of rejection and let go of all that didn’t turn out the way you desired. Trust God is covering you and His plans are to take you higher. Press Forward! ADaubon

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. Heb. 6:10 (Amp.) It is a privilege to serve God. It is an honor to be His hands, feet and mouthpiece on earth. All that we do is for Him and by Him. We are conduits of His grace, love and mercy. With humility we honor God with our life. With a submissive heart we surrender our bodies and mind to be completely used by the Father. This is the season to let God have His way in and through us. May God expand our territory and increase our discernment. May He take us into a new realm of His glory and anoint us afresh and anew. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. 2 Cor 5:17 (Amp.) We are no longer what we were; for we are new creatures in Him. No longer bound by unforgiveness and sin. His love is where our story begins and ends. Renewed, reborn, and restored for great works that our past never had the power to hinder. God’s plans always prevail and the enemy’s schemes have been returned to sender. Tempted by our flesh, but have the power to not give in. Walking in victory, because of the Holy Spirit that dwells within. We are being molded by the potter and we are the clay. We must remain firmly rooted in Him, so we don’t sway or stray.. He is by our side, no matter what we go through. We’ve been made new, because God has an assignment for us to do. Our life is meant to bring Him glory and our witness increases the fold. Being in His will is worth more than silver or gold. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. Romans 8L28 (Amp.) God, we love you with all our hearts and thank you for your love that continuously works everything out for our good. We thank you for never letting our experiences get in the way. You use them all for your divine will and purpose. All that tried to knock us down, only helped to propel us to another level in you. Everything that attempted to take us out, drew us closer to you. Through it all our faith has been strengthened and fortified. Our purpose has become clearer. Our ability to trust you has become our first response, rather than a delayed reaction. Thank you for building and molding us into who we are, while paving the way for all that we will ever become. Thank you for your healing, restoration and sustaining power. We declare and decree that your plan will prevail in our lives no matter what. We surrender to the process of preparation and maintain the posture of great expectation. In Jesus name, amen.

But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. Matthew 6:33 (Amp.) As we make our New Year’s resolutions, let us never forget that God is the solution. Seek God first for your future endeavors and quests; trusting He alone knows what’s best. Search for His ways for the rest of our days. Give Him our desires, for His way is higher. Learn to be still and surrender to His will. Desire what is right and pleasing in His sight. In 2026, let’s keep God in the mix. It ends and begins with Him. He is in the midst of all that we do, and will bring us through. It’s going to be a great year, my dear. Remain steady and get ready. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lam. 3:22-23 (NIV) As we approach the end of the year, let us bask in the greatest love of our life. Thank you, God for your love that comes from above. Thank you for the peace you constantly release. Thank you for your power that keeps us every hour. Thank you for your grace that gives us space to continue to run this race. Daily with the rising sun, no matter the battle we’ve already won. Thank You! Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
