Habakkuk Chapter Three
17. Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
The Sovereign LORD is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to tread upon the heights.
Psalm Eighteen
1. I love You, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Proverbs Chapter Three
5. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Matthew Chapter Eleven
28. Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
As I was praying today my heart was heavy and usually when I feel that way it’s because I am carrying burdens that I have held for too long. As expected when I looked up these verses and began reading them our loving Father spoke to me and asked me listen and write and publish these words for all who are worried and overcome with anxiety. Here are his words. He said:
My loved ones, you were told to bear one another’s burdens but you should bear them only long enough to hand them to me. My yoke is easy and my burden is light so if you feel heavy or anxious it’s because you haven’t given your cares to me.
My beautiful ones, I know the world seems crazy right now and things seem to be upside down and wrong side out. I also know that I haven’t left you or forsaken you and all that I am is with you at all times. So never give up when all things are possible to you because you have believed in me and believed in my Son and you are filled with my Spirit.
In this hour you must put all of your trust in me and know that you were with me before I formed the world and although you can’t remember it we discussed the plans for your life and we made provision for all you would ever need. All I need from you is to believe this truth and give me all your burdens and worries and enter into the promised rest. Christ is that rest and you are in him and he is in you but you must see yourselves hidden safely in the Rock of Ages and safe from the storms of life.
Remember as our beloved Paul told you that it is by faith that you have access into this grace wherein you stand. My grace is overly sufficient for all you could ever want or need. Put your faith in my love and in my power. You are not limited because I am not limited!
My loved ones, I am your provider, your friend, your healer, your deliverer and your comforter. No matter what you are facing now your prayers were answered before you ever came into this world. So many are struggling to receive when all you need was already given. All you have to do is to trust me and know that the answer was given before the problem arrived. The only fight of faith you have to fight is the fight to remain in rest when the wind is howling and storm is raging. Never forget that the one who calms the storms is in you and not far away!
When my firstborn was in the boat sleeping and the disciples were terrified of the storm it would have made no difference if they woke him or not. He was going to the other side. He stopped the storm because the peace within was greater than the storm without. Nothing can stop you if you will remain in peace and in rest.
This is the rest I long for you to enter into. It’s how you become like a little child and enter into my kingdom rest. You put all your trust in me and don’t worry about what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears. You can trust me with all the cares of life and you can live in joyous bliss while the world is terrified around you.
So my loved ones bring me your burdens and your worries and don’t carry them for one more minute. You are dearly loved and no problem is too small for me to be concerned.
Put your trust totally in me and rest in my love. Let go of storm watching and set your minds upon me. I am here and I AM your answer! I will give you beauty for ashes and joy for mourning. Cast your cares on me for I care for you. Trust in me with all your heart!
This is the end of the words He gave me to share with you today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
michael.
