Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 35
Zechariah 14
35 The wilderness and the desert will be glad,
Isaiah 35:1-4
And the Arabah will rejoice and blossom;
Like the crocus
2 It will blossom profusely
And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
The majesty of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the glory of the Lord,
The majesty of our God.
3 Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.
4 Say to those with anxious heart,
“Take courage, fear not.
Behold, your God will come with vengeance;
The recompense of God will come,
But He will save you.”
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Trust Me. Trust My ways. Trust My Word. Trust that I will do and I Am doing what I said I will do. Trust Me to turn things around. I Am the captain of this ship, and though the turnaround seems slow, I Am turning it. I Am the captain of this ship, and I will make things right. I will put this ship in the right direction. Trust in Me. Put your hope in Me. You will not be disappointed. These are days of turnaround. These are days of change. These are days of promises fulfilled. My promises ARE being fulfilled. My blessing, My grace, My love and My favor are being poured out as oil and as spring rain. As you step into it, you will see that they combine and blend to bring great joy. These are the days of the spring rain of My joy.
9 And the Lord will be king over all the earth; in that day the Lord will be the only one, and His name the only one. 10 All the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site from Benjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. 11 People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.
Zechariah 14:9-11
Bask and delight in Me, in My Presence and in all of the benefits and rewards that come with My Presence. I Am the reward and My reward is with Me. Time in My Presence changes everything. It is the difference maker in you, and it is the difference maker in outcomes. Time in My Presence changes your perspective, changes your expectations, changes your understanding; and it leaves you wrapped in the fragrance of Me. Become the fragrance of those who have been with Me. Become the fragrance of worshippers, lovers and kings. Trust Me. I will turn things around. I Am turning things around.
We are on the precipice of change, of breakthrough, of vibrant abundant life. I’m turning things around. Trust in the Name of Jesus. Cling to the Name of Jesus. We change everything, and We’re turning things around. Right now.
How to Respond
- Determine in your heart to trust the Lord, to put your hope in Him and to release all fear — fear that He won’t come through and fear of the change that He will bring when He does come through.
- Pray, Holy Spirit help me. Help me to trust in You, to choose You and to prioritize time in Your Presence above all else. Change me, and turn around all that needs to be turned around. I am waiting for Your change, Your move, Your signal, Your instruction.
- Declare, the Lord is holy and worthy of praise. He is the very breath in My lungs and the giver of My days. He was and is and is to come. He lives forevermore. He is the king of my heart and the lifter of my head. He is coming for turnaround, for change. He is already turning things around, right now.
- Decree, I do and I will trust in the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. I put all of my hope in Him to turn things around, to bring fulfillment of promises and answers to prayer. I believe Him. I love Him, and I trust Him. I will move when He says move. I will choose Him.
