Small Straws In A Soft Wind - November

[bluidkiti]

November 1: The recent adjustments that you have made, both great and small, will begin to produce results. Your obedience to My leading will be rewarded in ways that you could not have expected or imagined. Continue in righteousness and establish yourself in peace as you move forward in consecration to Me. Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

[bluidkiti]

November 2: You must take life as it comes. You cannot decide how you will react or respond in situations you are not facing here and now. It is all conjecture and presumption. There is enough for you to deal with today without projecting out to the unknown. Stand solidly where you are right now, and do not worry about the future. 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.

[bluidkiti]

November 3: Prepare yourself for another shift in your life experiences and circumstances. Your inclination will be to hang on to what is familiar and safe, but you must move with the flow of My Spirit without fear or trepidation. Trust Me to re-establish you on higher ground and a firm foundation. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

[bluidkiti]

November 4: When you review your life have no regrets. Nothing is wasted in My Kingdom. Your life experiences, whether good or bad, were necessary and instructive. You have been shaped and fashioned by your accomplishments and your failures. Rejoice in your successes, and learn from your defeats as you strive to live, move and have your being in Me. Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

[bluidkiti]

November 5: To those who are moving through life at break-neck speed, it is time for you to rest and recuperate. Enter into My rest where you can let go of the stress and strain. Come into My presence where you can quiet your soul and be rejuvenated. Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

[bluidkiti]

November 6: These are days to be excellent. Be the best version of yourself possible. Arise to every position of righteousness, justice and faithfulness. Hold yourself to the high standard of My Word and purposes. You can do this because I have sent the Helper to assist you in this endeavor. John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

[bluidkiti]

November 7: I keep seeing a vision of a teeter-totter with someone standing in the middle so that it is level, and I heard the Lord say: Find your center of stability (mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) and stay there. Keep your balance so that you are neither up nor down. Maintain your sense of being on a firm foundation through strong and unwavering relationship with Me. That is where you will prosper. Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

[bluidkiti]

November 8: Be true to yourself and your righteous values. Maintain peace. Much of what you worry about is beyond your ability to change. Put your trust in Me to do what you cannot and to show you the way to spiritual perfection. Allow Me to set you in a place that you cannot understand here and now, but it will make perfect sense in the days ahead. 1 Corinthians 16:13 Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

[bluidkiti]

November 9: Never underestimate My power to heal. Ask in faith without wavering; have complete trust in Me and do not doubt even for one moment. When you seek with all your heart, you will find. Ask and it will be given. Do not be afraid! Fear undermines faith. Matthew 7:7-11 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

[bluidkiti]

November 10: Leave the troubles of the past behind. There is nothing you can do about what has happened, but there is plenty you can do with what is ahead. Set your heart and mind to do all that I have for you. Settle yourself to move with the flow of My Spirit. I have gone before you to prepare the way. Isaiah 40:4-5 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

[bluidkiti]

November 11: This is a time to get organized and to tie up loose ends. You need to be clear and unemcumbered for the next leg of your journey. You have already come a long way. Pause and consider where you were a year ago and put it behind you. This is a new day with new possibilities. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

[bluidkiti]

November 12: Procrastination is an anchor. You cannot progress until you do the things that you have been putting off. Put aside dread and do what needs to be done. You will be relieved and ready to face every new day with confidence. Remember that you are not alone; I am with you every step of the way, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:4 A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

[bluidkiti]

November 13: I have called you to a new anointing that requires your awareness. You can improve your spiritual discernment by looking and listening as I reveal My purposes. It is My desire that you deliberately ascend to a higher place where you can receive wisdom and direction. Quietly and powerfully carry out My instructions, says the Lord. Psalm 101:6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with Me; he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve Me.

[bluidkiti]

November 14: Today you are turning over a new leaf. It will be a new page in your personal history, a new beginning if you will. You can make positive changes that will improve your attitude and the way you live. Do not pass up this opportunity to renew your commitments to those close to you and your spiritual commitment to Me. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

[bluidkiti]

November 15: In my spirit I keep hearing the phrase "new heights and new horizons". I believe we are at the beginning of a new spiritual ride that will take us to new heights where we can see beyond our limited view. We will have the opportunity to embrace a higher purpose and expanded vision of spiritual truth about ourselves and our future as we walk in the Spirit and seek the face of the Lord. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

[bluidkiti]

November 16: You will be facing issues that you do not know how to deal with. But, I have gone before you to make a way for you to know and perform My perfect will. Stop fussing and fuming, quiet your soul, and trust Me to show you the way. Have faith. James 1:5 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.

[bluidkiti]

November 17: I keep hearing the sound of victory in my spirit as I feel the soft touch of the Spirit confirming His word that we are overcomers and will see better days ahead. Life has not been easy, but we have learned much about ourselves, others, and the work of God through the challenges we faced. We thank God for His wisdom, direction, and goodness. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

[bluidkiti]

November 18: Do not worry about what the future holds. You can make plans and set goals, but you must also stay present with today and your current circumstances. Do your best with what you are facing here and now. You can only take one day at a time, so keep your priorities straight, and put first things first. 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.

[bluidkiti]

November 19: This is a time when you must quiet your soul so that your thought process is clear. You cannot make good decisions when you are discombobulated. Encourage yourself with what you know to be true, and stand on the firm foundation of the word of God. Refuse to become flustered by your current circumstances. This too shall pass. Psalm 131:2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.

[bluidkiti]

November 20: Take a deep breath and settle yourself in peace. You have endured disturbing and upsetting circumstances, but you must let the past be the past before you can forge ahead. This is a new day. Set yourself to allow My strength to be the basis for a new beginning. I am with you and will uphold you. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

[bluidkiti]

November 21: When your emotions tend to be like a roller coaster ride, stop and let My truth prevail. Stand on the firm foundation of My Word and refuse to allow discouragement or disappointment to plunge you into darkness. Stay in the light. I am with you to establish you in peace and strengthen your heart. Be strong and determined to press through! Psalms 7:9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

[bluidkiti]

November 22: Be filled with My Spirit. When you yield to the presence of the Spirit, His gifts and fruit will be demonstrated in your life. Only then will the works of the flesh become a thing of the past. Invite the Holy Spirit to live in you and allow Him to lead. Galatians 5:19-23 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

[bluidkiti]

November 23: Do not be disheartened or fall into despair. Even though you are facing difficulties, I have given you the strength to push through and gain the victory. Keep your focus on what is working instead of what is not working. When you ask for wisdom, I will most certainly give it without holding back. Have faith. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

[bluidkiti]

November 24: Breakthrough is imminent. Just stay the course and refuse to get discouraged or be defeated. This is a new day with new possibilities and great potential. I am with you to give you a future and hope. Never doubt My ability to go before you and direct your path. 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.

[bluidkiti]

November 25: Be kind. It does not take any more effort to be charitable than to be disagreeable. I would have you exhibit My character and nature in every situation. Make the effort to have a generous attitude and to be compassionate. Allow My Spirit to flow through you like a river. Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

[bluidkiti]

November 26: Refuse to be pulled away from your spiritual position by material and financial distractions. These are days to guard your heart and stay focused on things that really matter. Make a special effort to stay close to Me so that I can impart wisdom and direct your steps. Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

[bluidkiti]

November 27: It is time to build on your solid foundation of life in the Spirit. There are many things that demand your attention, but the most important one does not make demands. It is your connection to Me, says the Lord. Make every effort to nourish your spirit by setting aside time to focus and spend time in My presence. Acts 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

[bluidkiti]

November 28: In all the busyness that surrounds this season, be sure to take opportunities to rest and rejuvenate. You can do that by letting go of all things that are a concern to you, and position yourself in the Holy Spirit where you will find peace. Stay as long as you need to in that place of serenity before you move on. Proverbs 4:7-8 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you; she will bring you honor, when you embrace her.

[bluidkiti]

November 29: I caution you to be thoughtful and not act on impulse. Being impulsive will be a waste of time and cause regret. The correct course of action is to make sure that you are in the Spirit and ask for wisdom in every situation, and then wait for it. Do not move forward until you know that you are on the right track. Proberbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

[bluidkiti]

November 30: Set a standard in your life of righteous thought and living. Then, you will have a measuring rod for staying on course spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. These days present all manner of temptation to stray from what you know is right and good. Be an overcomer. Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
