Like The Eagle

EagleHighSoar
May the people of God Most High not just look up and look around like the goose who hears honking from other geese and begins honking because they are honking, but may we be like the eagle that soars above it all so that we may gain proper perspectives for positive action that is guided by the better perspective.
“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” (Isa.40:31, Amp)

Comfort Requires Change

WalkUphill
The man I mentioned with fifty years worth of “infection” around his
wound refuses to be comforted!  Why?  Why don’t people always move
on and welcome comfort?  Why do people refuse to “get over” some things?
I believe the major reason is  because receiving COMFORT requires CHANGE!

Awareness Of The Lord’s Doings

RiverTreesGreen
As the people of God assemble today, may they receive from the Lord awareness of what the Lord is doing in this hour, both in their church and in them—aware that the Lord is making a roadway out of captivity and rivers that supply where past predictions have said they couldn’t supply.

“Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” (Isa.43:19, NASB)

Favor For Travel

PeopleLuggage
May the Lord keep those who travel and stay in hotels.
May He keep them as they travel and give them favor
in booking flights and hotels.

“I am sending an angel ahead of you, who will protect
[guard] you as you travel [on the way/path]. He will lead
[bring] you to the place I have prepared.” (Ex.23:20, EXB)

Being Comforted

ComfortingSomeoneGrief itself can feel too heavy to bear, like a smothering heaviness that dulls our passions and confuses our thinking.  It is a painful fog that can blur our vision and distort our reasoning abilities.  That is why, even though grief is a necessary first step, we cannot stay there.  We must move on.  Matt 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”  The second step to healing is “being comforted.”  Wounds to the soul and spirit are only healed when we move from GRIEF to COMFORT.

Forward With Energy And Success

ShuttleNRocketMay the Lord propel you, and the work you were born for, forward
with energy and success while enemies and obstacles retreat into obscurity.

“We wish to inform you that we went to the construction site of the Temple
of the great God of Judah. It is being built with huge stones, and timber is
being laid in the city walls. The work is going forward with great energy
and success.” (Ezra 5:8, LB)

Step Toward Healing

StepForwardHealing does not come by ignoring wounds.  TIME does NOT heal ALL wounds.  I know a man in his sixties who continually rehearses his abusive childhood.  Some of the laws he lives by are actually memorials to those past injustices! Healing of the soul is almost always a process.  Believe it or not, the first step toward healing is grieving.  We invest TIME in relationships.  We invest SWEAT in our labors.  We invest HOPE in our plans.   Investment is God’s principle of seed time and harvest.  Built into sowing is the expectation of harvest; so grief is unavoidable when our efforts end in disappointment or loss.  Grief is a necessary part of the healing process because we need to cry and release the inner pain that medicine cannot touch.

More Strength And Vitality

Jumping
May you have more strength and vitality and
freedom from pain by the end of the week.

“For the highest God above, who is and always will be, the only One who is holy has this to say: Eternal One: I live in the high and holy place, yet I am with the low, the weak, and the humble. I renew their vitality and revive their strength.” (Isa.57:15, The Voice)

Healed And Equipped

BandageDavid prayed in Psalm 41:4, “Heal my inner self.” (AMP)  We all have wounds in our lives that we cannot fit into a pretty picture:  experiences that seem to deny God’s goodness, injustices that oppose His plans, conditions that contradict faith, circumstances that seem to defy God’s presence and relationships that resist His love.  Jesus told us offenses would come, Matthew 18:7; and the truth is that we have all suffered the wounds of offense, injustice and loss.  But the greater issue is that our experiences can either Equip us or Cripple us.  It is the will of our Father that we be healed and equipped.

Over And Above Typical

CongregationWorshipAs the people of God assemble today, may they open up their hearts and
minds and release their faith in Him who is able to do far over and above
the typical in their midst so that they glorify Christ Jesus whom it is all about.

“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or
guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around
but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Glory to God
in the church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!Glory down all the
generations! Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!” (Eph.3:20-21, Msg)
