Scripture and Meditation Reading: Proverbs 3:3-6

Dear Beloved,

Stop, think, and listen! God in His Infinite Wisdom, teaches us how to skillfully read His Word. He teaches his children how to listen, in our “spirit man,” with our inner ears. As you read the Word of God today, what is He saying to you, your situation, circumstances, or condition? There are principles in the Word that correspond to every experience and need that mankind will encounter. Remember that Jesus knows, and He cares about everything that is important to us (Hebrews 2:17-18). When we begin to really comprehend this, life becomes an exciting journey. We don’t know how the situation will be resolved, but, in Him, we know with confidence that it will be resolved.

If you aren’t applying “Biblical Principles” to your life, begin doing so now. You will begin to be able to say with confidence and absolute boldness, “The Lord is my Helper. What can man do to me (Heb. 13:6)?” Therefore, it is essential that we acquire the habit of saying what the Word says. We are not deterred by our circumstances, but we stand on the sayings (Word) of God. We know that God is Truth. He cannot and will not lie (Num. 23:19). If His Word says it, He will do it. No matter what the senses perceive, in the midst of what you are going through, speak the Word regarding your situation, and never never give up until a change occurs. Remember, first we say (confess) the Word-then we wait for the manifestation of that Word. Think of yourself as a farmer who has sown seeds in his field waiting for the manifestation of the crop (outcome) of those seeds that he has so diligently planted. Now the farmer waits for the harvest.

Never confess God’s Word in an uncommitted manner. Stop using the words, “I can’t.” Replace them with, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me (Phil.4: 13). “ Even though your monthly income may be in the form of Social Security or other retirement resources, never say, “I’m on a fixed income.” Your Father God is not on a fixed budget. “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof (Ps. 24:1).” His mercies are new every morning (Lam. 3:23).” If you’re His child, He will supply your every need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus (Phil.4: 19). Begin to verbally confess, “All of my needs are met.” He will meet your needs spiritually, physically, and abundantly financially (3 John v.2). Take the limits and brakes off God; stop limiting Him (Ps.78: 41). God will do what we willingly permit Him to do. He does not violate our wills. Before the foundation of the world, He set up the system for our welfare, and He magnifies His Word even above His name (Ps.138: 2). Put your total trust in your

Creator. God loves you, and He’s concerned about everything that concerns you!!!
