I have heard the expression, "This was providential or an act of God." This expression is voiced by many after something monumental happens on Earth like an earth quake or a tornado. That expression means that some outside force had a hand in directing what happened. It is true that I am sovereign, but I do not direct earth quakes, tornados, or natural disasters.
After Adam and Eve disobeyed Me, the earth began a steady decline of destruction and corruption because of their sin. You and all those who came after Adam and Eve are suffering the consequences of a fallen world where even the climate is different from the climate that was in the Garden of Eden.
When you walk in the Spirit, you can be assured that I do direct circumstances in your life. I can spare you many of the consequences of a fallen world when you listen carefully to the still, quiet voice of My Spirit as He leads and guides you. It is true that the instant you were born that you began to experience the results of sin (aging and health issues). However, I seek to help you even with those issues that you face. The things that occur in your life as you abide in Me, are either appointed or allowed by Me for a purpose. The purpose of your life in Earth is always to bring Me glory. You can rest in My providential care of you daily.

RESIGN
I want you to be fruitful in your last days on Earth. Many of my beloved who reach their late 70's and early 80's resign themselves to just rest during those years. Of course, I want you to rest, but during those rest times, I want you to recognize My presence and spend time with me.
Middle aged and even young people, do not recognize how precious every moment is in their lives are. Moses prayed that I would teach those on earth to number their days so that they could apply their hearts to wisdom. I am all wisdom.
No matter what your age, I desire for you to draw from My wisdom and to make every minute of your day count for all eternity. You can make moments count by communicating with Me throughout each day and by listening to My Spirit as He instructs you to do the next thing. My Spirit will always lead you to be fruitful in My kingdom on Earth.
PSALM 90:10-12; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:30

NEXT
Faith only operates in the present time. Hope is in the future. As you go through your day today, I want you to be in constant communication with Me. My Spirit will help you know what to do next. My Holy Spirit is the best project manager you could ever have.
You sometimes dread certain projects that must be accomplished in order to help others. I want you to look forward to those projects because you will know with assurance that I will give you both the strength and the ability to complete those projects.
The key is to have a listening ear throughout your day today and every day. Only My Holy Spirit can see what is ahead of you, and He is able to prepare you for what lies ahead as you listen carefully, and ask Him to speak to your heart what He knows is best for you to do next. Listen carefully today.

INSIGHT
I know that you would love to have a better understanding and insight into certain passages in My Word. I have given you My Holy Spirit to be your teacher. He can open the eyes of your understanding about many of these passages. Some passages will always remain a mystery. Those mysteries will be solved when you see Me face to face.
It is My joy to reveal many mysteries to you now as you read My Word. My Spirit is able to give you revelation knowledge, but the knowledge that I want you to seek more than the mysteries in My Word is the knowledge of Me and My love.
My servant Paul prayed for believers to come to know the breadth, length, depth, and height of My love and that they might be filled with all the fullness of God. That is My prayer for you today. When you have a deeper understanding and revelation of My love for you, all other knowledge will pale in comparison to the knowledge of My extravagant love.

PRESENT
I remember how you often would be a little nervous about presenting a book report or a talk on another subject before your classes in school. Now you are depending more upon Me to help you in those presentations. I am ever present with you to strengthen you and to give you My peace.
Every day that you live now, I want you to be aware of My presence with you moment by moment. You do not have to trust your own abilities and talents to do well whenever you are called upon to present something before a group of people. However, you do have to do your preparation.
When you are faithful to do your preparation before a talk, then ask Me to anoint you with a fresh anointing so that My Spirit will speak through you. Trust Me to enable you to speak those things that will be helpful to others even in your everyday encounters with people. I have promised that when you open your mouth I will fill it with the words to say.

GIVING
My Father is a giver. He so loved the world that He gave Me to you to redeem you. The blood that I shed when I died on the tree bought you back from Satan's grip. When you received Me as your Lord and Savior, you received My Spirit. All things in your life became new.
Part of that newness of life that occurred the moment you received Me as Lord, is the desire to give. When sin entered the world, selfishness and greed entered, and the nature of man was to take, not to give.
I want you now to give everything that I have given to you (peace, joy, love, mercy, forgiveness, gentleness, kindness, self-control, long suffering, meekness) to others. As you give, you will receive more to give. I am the way, the truth, and the life. The riches of My life within you will only be displayed as you live a life of giving.
JOHN 3:16; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17; GALATIANS 5:22-23

DESIRES
I have promised in My Word to give you the desires of your heart. This means that as you walk faithfully in the power of My Spirit, your desires will line up with My desires for you. What I plant, I will grant.
Today as you go to prayer, ask Me to imprint upon your spirit, all that I have for you today. Day by day, I have works for you to do, people I want you to relate to, and words that I want you to say to others. Always remember that I am the One Who works through you both to give you the will (the desire) and the way to do My Father's good pleasure.
I delight daily in you, and as you continue to delight in Me, more and more you will be conscious of those things that I want you to accomplish moment by moment, day by day.
PSALM 37:4; PHILIPPIANS 2:13
