Today’s Reading:
Psalm 16
Psalm 17
Psalm 23
Psalm 135
Isaiah 54
Following your word has kept me from wrong. Your ways have molded my footsteps, keeping me from going down the paths of the violent. My steps follow in the tracks of your chariot wheels, always staying in their path, never straying from your way. You will answer me, God; I know you always will. Hear my words like you always do as you listen to my every prayer.
Psalms 17:4-6 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God of all abundance say,
Your words are beautiful to Me. Your thoughts and hopes and dreams are precious to Me. I put them there. I planted them there, right there in your heart, and you have discovered them, uncovered them and made them your own. You have followed the breadcrumbs, the instructions that I have laid out all along your path. Trust that those crumbs, those instructions, those many yeses have led you across the threshold into promise.
Yahweh, you alone are my inheritance. You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion. You hold my destiny and its timing in your hands. Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places. I’m overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following you!
Psalms 16:5-6 TPT
This is the time of the open door of opportunity aligning with the open window of Heaven. Nothing is impossible here. All bets are off here. Your wildest dreams will get exceeded here, in this place of the open window of Heaven as it has aligned with the open door of opportunity in your life. This is that season. This is the season of the collision of your dreams with My goodness. This is the season of the collision of the unthinkable, not even prayed for deep possibilities smashing right into your life. This is a time where My goodness doesn’t just overtake you, but it collides right into you in magnificent ways you could not imagine.
For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
Psalms 135:14 NIV
You will be dazed and in wonder at the breathtaking brilliance of the goodness that I cause to flood your life and overflow you into your lap and drip from you like honey and oil that glistens in the sun. This is the time My breathtaking goodness even startles those around you, because what has been one way for what has felt a long time will be no more. The new will come and supplant it. My goodness is running over all the familiar paths of your daily life. My goodness is coming in and setting up shop, and the old realities and the old ways and the old confinements of mindset and space will be pushed out because of the weight and the stubborn determination of My goodness to come in and take up residence, to come in and force those old realities out.
Increase is coming, so enlarge your tent and add extensions to your dwelling. Hold nothing back! Make the tent ropes longer and the pegs stronger. You will increase and spread out in every direction. Your sons and daughters will conquer nations and revitalize desolate cities. Do not fear, for your shame is no more. Do not be embarrassed, for you will not be disgraced. You will forget the inadequacy you felt in your youth and will no longer remember the shame of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband; his name is Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies! Your Kinsman-Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel! He has the title Mighty God of All the Earth!
Isaiah 54:2-5 TPT
I Am bringing expansion into your life. I Am bringing something that men would say is a tall order. Nothing is difficult for Me, and this is the time where the grain gets stored up in the barn. This is the time where the harvest of My goodness is received, is collected and should be put to work. I’m not bashful to say, you must not miss the opportunity to put My goodness to work. Don’t sit there and admire it. Make it work for you. Make it multiply itself into more goodness in your life. This is now the test of the talents. Watch and be sure that the goodness I cause to collide and overwhelm and overtake and overrun your life is met with purpose, with gratitude, with decisive determination and with action that puts it to work. Don’t sit and admire it too long. Put it to work.
How to Respond
- Live in an attitude of thanksgiving and expectation of the goodness of the Lord.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for guiding me along the paths of my life. Thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me. And thank You that this is the time of alignment with the open window of Heaven and the open door of opportunity in my life. Help me to recognize this moment and seize every ounce of the goodness You pour out. I want to be faithful in putting to work all that I receive for Your Kingdom, Your delight and Your Name’s sake.
- Declare, So why would I fear the future? Only goodness and tender love pursue me all the days of my life. Then afterward, when my life is through, I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you! — Psalms 23:6 TPT
- Decree, I will live and be in constant expectation of the seeing the goodness of the Lord crash into my life. I will be filled with gratitude, awe and wonder at all that He brings. And I will live with sharp determination to put all of it to work to advance the cause of His Kingdom.
