Just Go!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 (NIV) Pressing forward is not always easy. Often the familiar is more comfortable than the uncertainty of what is ahead. But God never created us to be stagnant. We are designed to be fruit bearers and active in the advancement of the kingdom of God. Don’t let fear, low self-esteem, pessimistic outlooks or doubt hold you back. Move forward knowing that wherever God leads you, He has already gone before you and paved the way. He walks beside you and dwells within you. You are covered on every side. Say goodbye to hesitation and press toward your destination. Press forward! ADaubon

New Strength

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, Isaiah 40:31 (Amp.) Often it is challenging to accept that everything does not come swiftly. There will be times in life when we have to wait. It is better to be patient and wait on God than to go ahead in your own strength. When we wait with the posture of great expectation we position ourselves to receive all that God has promised us. When we believe that God is true to His word it can help sustain us when everything around us contradicts what our faith is standing on. Don’t become down in your season of waiting. God will cause you to soar higher than you ever imagined. Be renewed, refreshed and revived. Your time is coming and a change is near. Hold onto God and persevere. Let’s go and go together. ADaubon

Let all that I am praise the LORD; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Psalm 103:1 (NLT) Lord, help us to surrender our whole heart to you. Teach us how to honor you more than the things we have to do. Remove anything or anyone that is distracting us from walking in your way. As we pursue your will and purpose for us, we willingly let go of all that causes unnecessary delay. Give us discernment and make all things plain. As we surrender to you, let only what is part of your divine plan remain. We want to praise you from a place of truth and sincerity. We desire to walk this walk with humility and clarity. Each day that we rise we will honor you with our worship and quality time in your presence. We desire and need your glory to reflect your essence. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together.

Forward Focused

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:13-14 (Amp.) Your identity is not wrapped up in where you’ve been. You’re under divine covenant now and the Holy Spirit dwells within. Only what we do for Christ will last. In Him you are made new and are not the sum of your past. God can use it all for His glory. Go forth and let the Lord complete your story. Remain forward focused and press toward the goal ahead. Trust God and remain Spirit-led. Daily we are being refined, because God’s redemptive power is real. Don’t let your former days hinder what He’s trying to reveal. Let go of all that weighs you down, especially the things that are rooted in your old ways. Be fully present for what God is doing in you and through you today. Press Forward! ADaubon

Above All Love

Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in [unselfish] love, which is the perfect bond of unity [for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others]. Col. 3:14 (Amp.) God keep us grounded in your love and grace. Let your light shine through us to bring unity and peace in every space. Give us the courage to extend a hand to others, rather than turn our backs on those who need us the most. Let our life be a living witness of the God of Hosts. Build our character to live a life that truly reflects your attributes and compassion. Help us to establish and sustain positive connections that have far greater impact than we could ever imagine. Give us a heart bent towards reconciliation and true empathy for one another. Let us not harbor what needs to be released, so we can authentically forgive each other. Teach us the way dear God, we need you now more than ever. Let your love flow through us forever and ever. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Created, Called & Covered

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. Eph. 2:10 (Amp) God has placed everything inside of us to complete our assignment here on earth. He crafted us with special care, so never forget your worth. The gifts that God has bestowed upon us are more valuable than gold. Keep in step with the Lord as your destiny unfolds. Your path is created by His sovereign hand. Without doubt or delay keep pressing towards God’s master plan. Pray for discernment and guidance; for He knows all. Trust God to complete what He’s started in you and never doubt your call. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Unify To Glorify Our God

Now may the God who gives endurance and who supplies encouragement grant that you be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify and praise and honor the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:5-6 (Amp.) Coming together on one accord is imperative to not let anything hinder what God has planned for us as a cohesive and collective group. When we work together we leave the enemy little room for confusion and egos to prevail. Aligning for His divine purpose and will above our individual interests are imperative to collaboratively serve in the vineyard. Let’s go, sow and grow together. Press forward !

Peace In The Posture of Expectation

You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. Isaiah 26:3 (Amp.) In this life there is plenty that will try to steal our joy and peace. Be patient, trust God and embrace sweet release. Don’t focus on the pressure, but rather have faith in the One who is in control of it all. He sees what you’re going through and is faithful to deliver you from it all. Center your mind and thoughts on Him and let Him take care of the rest. Trust that He is working it out and throughout it all you’re still blessed. You will receive all that He’s promised, so maintain a posture of expectation. Stay in position, get ready and to embrace the divine manifestation. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

The Lord is good, A strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows [He recognizes, cares for, and understands fully] those who take refuge and trust in Him. Nahum 1:7 (Amp) God is our strength when we feel weak. He holds us up and keeps us steady when everything around us appears to be falling apart. He is our shelter in the stormy weather. When life is spiraling and the attacks come from every side, He is our ever-present help. Just when you think you can’t take anymore and you find it hard to press forward, God will cause you to walk in victory. What you think you cannot face, He has already made a way. Trust God and take refuge in Him. He sees your faith and hears your cry unto Him. He is faithful to respond. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
