Today’s Reading:
James 1
“So my friends, don’t be fooled by your own desires! Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change.”
James (Jacob) 1:16-17 TPT
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Choices are coming. You will have choices to make. See what choices are surrounded by My grace. See what choices brim with life and hope. Look at the dullness, the lack of energy and life that some choices carry. Those are not for you. I Am light, energy, life, hope and truth. I Am the way, the truth and the life. My choices — choices of Me — carry My Spirit, My anointing, My grace.
“God was delighted to give us birth by the truth of his infallible Word so that we would fulfill his chosen destiny for us and become the favorite ones out of all his creation!”
James (Jacob) 1:18 TPT
Contrary to what the liar has said, those dull choices are not from Me. The dull choices keep you chained to mediocrity, and go hand in hand with your fear. But those choices brimming with life, with possibility, with energy and love…these are the ones sent right from My heart. These are the ones that carry life and life more abundant. They require faith. They require risk. They require abandoning the safe, dull choice and path to go down the road less traveled.
My wild, adventurous ones live on the road less traveled. See how their hearts soar? See how their mouths are ready with laughter? They have seen and tasted the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. The choices I send wrapped in My grace draw you into the land of the living. They are not stagnant, gray and lifeless. They vibrate with possibility and draw inspiration, ideas and creativity out of your heart with seemingly no effort. Just as truth resonates with those who love truth as a vibration in the Spirit, so do choices. Opportunities of My grace resonate and vibrate in synchronicity, in partnership with the one for whom it was perfectly designed.
“But those who set their gaze deeply into the perfecting law of liberty are fascinated by and respond to the truth they hear and are strengthened by it—they experience God’s blessing in all that they do!”
James (Jacob) 1:25 TPT
Leave the concrete, dull, lifeless choices behind. Choose the ones that inspire, that vibrate with life, hope and energy and spark your imagination, that fill your eyes with gladness. This is the reality of your God — the God of all peace, the Father of heavenly lights and giver of every good and perfect gift. I do not give My son a rock when he asks for a bread, nor a snake when he asks for fish. I delight in giving good gifts. Don’t be afraid or so unbelieving that you don’t take them. Walk into the choices that brim with light, energy, hope, divine inspiration and possibility. Leave the dull and lifeless ones behind. Choices are coming. Let faith — not fear — guide you as you choose. Let faith be your picker.
How to Respond
- Determine to believe the best about God and the opportunities and choices He sends your way.
- Pray, Lord, give me eyes to see Your light and life on the choices that are from You. Help me to be honest with myself, so that I can make the decisions that bring me the most joy and fulfillment because they are from You.
- Declare, the Lord God Most High is the giver of every good and perfect gift. He longs to do life with me, and He wants to be invited into every aspect of my life. He delights in what delights me.
- Decree, I will choose the opportunities that the Lord sends my way. I won’t choose the safe, lifeless path. I will choose the road less traveled, the one brimming with life, hope, energy and possibility. I will trust the Lord my God to lead me to adventures, places and people that I could never have dreamed possible.
