What are you sensing this day?
Do not be lazy, but be where you find me.
Spend your time with me. I will be your reward.
Let your impatience melt away, and be found in me.

My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
John 10:27 (NET)

Don’t be confused, but follow me.
Soak in my presence and absorb my ways.
Allow me to wash you. My cleansing removes past stains.

Be found fruitful in the small things of life.
Take the step into something new and see
if I am not already there, awaiting you.

It’s time to set aside the fear the enemy has placed before you.
but keep your eyes upon my ways and my Word.
Your victory lies with me.

Don’t listen to the lies he brings, but stay focused in Me.
Devour my word. Let it guide you and become your protection and sword.
It’s time to stop being reactive, but follow what I’ve set forth.

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 54:2-3 (NASB)

I am with you. Become aware of my presence
in new ways…[Read more]

This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around.
Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’”
Jeremiah 6:16 (NLT)

Don’t fear the winds nor words of the enemy.
Focus upon what I have told you. I am yet
The way of life…[Read more]

Put away the distractions and look for me.
I am already there, awaiting your recognition.
Allow my healing presence to hoover over you.

Allow me to reach in and remove what is not from me.
My way is what you are seeking. My ways are what you need.
They are available to you. Are you available to me?

Draw close. I Am awaiting you.
Surrender your desires and goals to me.
Open your heart to see me.

Look for me, so I might show myself.
My hand of protection is open to you.

Allow me to refill you, so you
Can share me with others. Do not be
frightened by the plans and lies of the enemy,
but be fortified in me.

Eat my Word. Soak in what
I say, believing.

Sit with me. Invite me into the quiet place of your life.
Don’t be afraid. Just block out the busyness and become pliable
Shhh. Soak in the solitude of silence.
Set aside the sounds of your internal busyness.
Listen for me. Invite me to be closer in you.

I will wash away the stains of life and allow my light to bring healing.
I will look upon y…[Read more]

I Will Be Found

Search for me and I will be found.
Look for the breath of my Spirit as
He moves across the face of creation.
He guides those who listen, those who are responsive
to his moving.

Cast aside the fear the enemy holds before you.
He wishes to take your vision from me to the waves
Crashing toward you. I am your sustainer of life.

I…[Read more]

Watch for me. Be alert, I have not abandoned you.
Don’t listen to the lies of the enemy.

Taste my word. Allow it to strengthen and guide you.
I am God-Almighty, the creator-sustainer. Come to me for life.
Become my living word for those I show you.

I am showing myself to you in the diversity of my creation.
The ever-expanding heavens are mine.
My love is not impatient nor rude.

Do not judge others by your own standard,
but come to me. I will wash you.
I will wash you in righteousness.
I will cover you with what is needed to come closer.

Watch for me and you will find me. Come expecting.

One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee,
great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God.

He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them
and were washing their nets. Stepping into one of the boats,
Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water.

So he sat in t…[Read more]

Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning;
it must never go out. Leviticus 6:12a (NLT)

Watch for me.
Do not be distracted by the clatter of life.
Strive for what is important.
Push through.

Rest in my Word. Arise
in its strength and direction.

Don’t wander from the pathway of truth,
but keep your eyes focused upon me.

I am the way. Look for me and I will show you.
I will implant you with love and instruction.

Each day I am with you. Wherever you go
I am there. My cloud of protection surrounds you.

I am everywhere you can look.
My creation remains, ever-changing.

Come back to the place where you found me.
Let me anoint you with my oil, to cover over you.
I chose you and over-lay you with my mantle.

Do not shrink away, but stand firm in
what I have placed within you. Share your strength
with those I show you.
