Today’s Reading:
Psalm 18
Psalm 91
Psalm 92
“For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you loved me, delighted in me, and have been loyal to my name, I will greatly protect you. I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel my presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honor. I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!””
Psalms 91:14-16 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
This is a season of establishing. When you are established somewhere, you have a base from which to launch. You have a home base from which you can serve others in a satellite-like capacity. Establishment is key in this season. You have longed to be planted. You have longed to be rooted. I will establish you in this season. Your heart will light the way. I have placed the guiding light in your heart to lead you directly to establishment. You won’t need to test out many other options. This will not be a season of shopping around. Your heart will draw you directly to the place of your establishing. Once you are there, you will quickly put down roots. They will go deep, and they will tie you firmly to that place. You will become part of the landscape there. It will almost seem like you’ve always been there. That’s what establishing does. It brings a rootedness. It brings an inclusion, a connection to the people and surroundings of that place.
“God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me! You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness I can see the path ahead. With you as my strength I can crush an enemy horde, advancing through every stronghold that stands in front of me. Yahweh, what a perfect God you are! All Yahweh’s promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in you, the wraparound God.”
Psalms 18:28-30 TPT
I will establish you in great grace, with My favor and good humor. This establishing season should be one of laughter and light. It should be one where dark world circumstances may serve as a backdrop, but life inside the circle of My grace in this place where I have called you to be established and to become a pillar is light, is fun, and it is in constant bloom. This is not a place that is meant to grow dry or stale. It is like a well-watered garden of refreshing, because it is My hand-picked place of planting for you in this season, for the foreseeable stretch and perhaps beyond. This is an establishing that comes with community, that comes with a knitting together because of faith, love and trust.
“Yes! Look how you’ve made all your devoted lovers to flourish like palm trees, each one growing in victory, standing with strength! You’ve transplanted them into your heavenly courtyard, where they are thriving before you, for in your presence they will still overflow and be anointed. Even in their old age they will stay fresh, bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully. Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim: “You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength! You’ve never made a mistake with me.””
Psalms 92:12-15 TPT
Dreams that were delicate in places of shallow planting, in places of temporary planting, in places of migration and wilderness living can be sturdy here, can be unapologetic and bold here. Those dreams can shine and take on a defining and prominent role in your life, as those I place in your life in this planting become your biggest champions for that once delicate, rarely spoken of dream. In this establishment you will experience real community, real heart kinship, connectedness and the brotherhood and sisterhood of faith. Allow the light, the lamp I have placed in your heart to guide you directly to the place of your establishment. Faith will allow you not to stop short, not take detours, not walk past it.
How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit give me eyes to see and ears to hear. Help me to walk with confidence and boldness into the place you have prepared and designated for my establishment. I don’t want to wander any longer. I don’t want to live on the outskirts in the wilderness any longer. Bring me to the place of establishment, community, connectedness and the fulfillment of dreams. This is the place my heart longs to be.
- Declare, My God is the God who tailor-made me. He designed me before time began. He has plans and purposes for my life that are for good and not for calamity. He has given me feet like a deer and has set me high upon a rock, and I shall not falter. He is the God who knit me together in my mother’s womb, and He will establish me in the place that I was designed to thrive.
- Decree, In faith I will follow the light in my heart, and I will go to the place the Lord leads me. He will establish me in a place of great love, kinship and community where I can put down roots and from which I can be launched and even serve others outside of this place. It will be a home to which I return from wherever I am sent. The Lord is bringing me to a home-base.
