Today’s Reading:
Psalm 16
Isaiah 54
You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
Psalms 16:11 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Traceable. My fingerprints are traceable all through your life. There’s not one season, not one circumstance, not one moment where My hands were not present and at work. Full joy is bursting forth. Fullness of joy is your portion. Watch as it blossoms and blooms in every quarter, every aspect, every detail of your life. You will look around, and that which was previously a barren ground, barren land, fruitless and desolate will be filled with beautiful blossoms of every color, shape and size. They are evidence of My love, My favor and great fulfillment settling in and being established.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.
Psalms 16:5-7 NASB1995
This is not fulfillment that is a one-off. This fulfillment, this garden of fruitfulness has deep root systems. This is a hearty fulfillment. This is a robust and sturdy fulfillment that can withstand the seasons and the elements. You will simply look up and see one blossom beginning to open, and even as you look at it in joy, wonder and astonishment, more and more will pop up around you. You will be covered and surrounded by My goodness, by My full and abundant, overflowing fulfillment.
Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed; For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord. “Enlarge the place of your tent; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left. And your descendants will possess nations And will resettle the desolate cities.”
Isaiah 54:1-3 NASB1995
Your heart will be full, and it will even enlarge to fit all that I have given you, all that I have caused to sprout and bloom and blossom in your life. I will even enlarge your heart to make room for the fullness of what I have brought, done and even that which I will do in the days ahead. Your fullness will meet new levels of fullness. This is not a one time showering of blessing, a one time seemingly overnight garden of delights. As you steward this well and walk forward in it, you will be gifted with even other beautiful gardens of blessing and fulfillment besides this one.
How to Respond
- Look up. Get your expectations and your hopes up.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for seeing me, knowing me, surrounding me, guiding me and for bringing me into a place of abundant blessing and fulfillment. Thank You for restoring my life and making me an example of what the Lord’s favor and blessing looks like for those who love You, delight in You and live entwined as one with You. I want to walk with You and be a blessing and a vessel of Your love all of my days.
- Declare, Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more. For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth. —Isaiah 54:4-5 NASB1995
- Decree, The Lord is causing blessings, promises fulfilled, surprises and unimaginable delights to blossom in the lives of His lovers. He will bring such abundance that He will even do the work to enlarge our hearts to hold and care for all He has given us. As we are faithful in this, He will even add more to it.
