Small Straws In A Soft Wind - November

[bluidkiti]

November 16: Examine the things that have caused you to be upset. If there is something you can do to make changes, do so. But, if there is nothing you can do, accept it and move on. You would do well to put it behind you and take the next step in drawing closer to Me, says the Lord. Your fruitless striving drives a wedge between us. Proverbs 20:3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.

November 17: When you pray, do not speak to the air. Search for Me until you find Me and connect with Me, says the Lord. Come in faith without any unbelief or doubt. You have to be convinced that I will hear and answer your prayer. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

November 18: When you feel undone and scattered, focus your thoughts on that which is the most vital to where you are right now. You can only take one step at a time, so make sure that every step counts in your progression. You are not where you were, but you are not where you are headed either. Stay current. Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

November 19: My beloved child, do not waste your time worrying about the future, and what might be or what you might have to do. You belong to Me, says the Lord, and I will direct your steps. Establish your faith in that truth. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Take every day as it comes and do what needs to be done right here and right now. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

November 20: The winds of change are blowing, and you can sense the shift. You must stay solidly anchored to Me, says the Lord. This is not a time to be blown away by your circumstances. Take one day at a time and do the best you can to stay focused on things that are good and pure. Hebrews 6:19-20 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

November 21: Refuse to get overwhelmed by the sadness of this season. Take life as it comes and I will give you the grace to navigate through difficult circumstances. I am your very present help in times of trouble, so lean on Me to bring you through to a place of peace, says the Lord. Psalm 46:1-4 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

November 22: When you think that you cannot endure the circumstances you face at this time, remind yourself that I am with you to bring you through. I, the Lord, am your strength and your shield, your very present help in times of trouble. Access that supernatural strength by faith, and take the next step. Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.

November 23: The things that have dragged you down to despair are not as bad as you thought. There is hope both in the natural realm and in the spirit that you have not considered. It is time for you to rally and rejoice in the knowledge that you are not alone or without help. You have a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

November 24: You must rise above worldly chaos in order to live in the Spirit. Only then can you serve God and enjoy His protection. Be diligent to guard your soul and reap the benefits of unity in the spirit. Ephesians 4:1-3 I, therefore, the prisoner [a]of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

November 25: You are constantly evolving. You are not who you were last year, last month or even yesterday. The changes are sometimes indistinguishable, but real nonetheless. You would do well to allow spiritual intervention to chart your course. Earnestly seek for wisdom in every circumstance. Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand.

November 26: Put aside your sense of dread and of being overwhelmed. You have projected out to the days ahead and have allowed fear to creep in. Settle yourself in the assurance that no matter your expectations or circumstances, you will be able to take things minute by minute, one day at a time, and you will be able to do all that is necessary. Psalm 56:3-4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

November 27: You are entering a season of new beginnings. Things may not be according to what you have imagined, but it will be a time of spiritual growth and development like none other. It will be as though you are looking through a different lens where your life will take on new meaning, and you will never be the same again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

November 28: Stay strong and refuse to be distracted from what you know to be right and true. Never lose your focus on spiritual truth. Maintain peace and harmony. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:9-10 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

[bluidkiti]

November 29: Be done with self-doubt and condemnation. You can do this by not focusing on yourself. Set your heart and mind on things above and not on things below. Seek spiritual truth where you know that you are loved and valued. You are a child of God. Never doubt that. Romans 8:1 There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

November 30: Stop for a short time and prepare yourself for what is ahead before you continue on. It is time to think and reorganize before you proceed. Make sure you are in the flow of the Spirit, for these days will challenge you to the core of your being if you are not prepared. Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
