Small Straws In A Soft Wind - March

[bluidkiti]

March 1: Refuse to get overwhelmed by the issues of life and the things that have the potential of keeping you awake at night. Settle yourself in the comfort of My presence and My care for you. Do not be afraid of what will be required of you in the future. You only have each moment to do the best you can with what you have. 1 Peter 5:6-8 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

[bluidkiti]

March 2: Do not worry. It might seem like what you are facing is insurmountable, but with Me nothing is impossible. I will take you through the valleys and help you climb the highest mountain of achievement. Trust Me and let Me be your guide, your protector, and your very present help in trouble, says the Lord. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

[bluidkiti]

March 3: Instead of looking at your problems and woes, begin to count your blessings. There are many things that you can be grateful for. Focusing on the good things will lift your spirits and give you hope. Psalm 106:1-3 Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can declare all His praise? Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times!

[bluidkiti]

March 4: I speak to those who tend to be impulsive, and caution you to spend the time to think things through before acting. Do not be hasty. Ask for wisdom and guidance before jumping into something you will regret. 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]

March 5: A unique path to life in the Spirit has been prepared for you, and when you have found that path, you must stay the course. Changes will be presented from time to time to aid your growth. However, no matter what you do or where you are, keep your focus on truth and righteousness. Continue to make your relationship with Me the number one priority, says the Lord. Isaiah 45:2-3 I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by name, Am the God of Israel.

[bluidkiti]

March 6: I am a God of mercy, and it is not My will that you be too hard on yourself for missing the mark of perfection. Yes, make corrections that are necessary, but you must learn to be lenient and compassionate even with yourself. Give yourself a break. Psalm 86:15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

[bluidkiti]

March 7: Yield your heart and soul to My perfect will for you. It is My desire that you never stop, even for a moment, seeking to be one with Me. Let us be in perfect union and of the same mind and heart, says the Lord. Only then will you prosper spiritually and naturally. Ephesians 4:1-3 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

[bluidkiti]

March 8: When you face various trials and tribulation, remember that you are an overcomer. Stand strong and refuse to be brought down by difficult circumstances or be defined by them. This too shall pass, and you will find yourself to be victorious in the midst of chaos when you lean on Me, says the Lord. John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

[bluidkiti]

March 9: Rise above your fear and worries, and have faith in Me to lead you in the way you should go. Know that I care about you and the things that concern you, and that I am your Great Shepherd who watches over you to tend, feed and guard you. Put you faith in that truth. 1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

[bluidkiti]

March 10: You are in an in-between stage of life when things are not the same as they were and you do not know what the future holds. Go with the flow of transition as you trust Me to reveal things left undone and to give you hope for the days ahead. Face each new day with confidence that I know the beginning and the end, and I will lead, guide, direct and protect you, says the Lord. Revelation 21:6 And He said to me: It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

[bluidkiti]

March 11: Refuse to be rattled by startling challenges when things do not go the way you expected. Roll with the punches, and do the best you can with the unexpected. Stay steady and go with the flow of the only constant in your life--My Spirit. Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

[bluidkiti]

March 12: Life is full of ups and downs, but you can quite easily navigate your course when you stay connected to Me. I will give you purpose and direction and the ability to face and overcome every difficulty you encounter. Isaiah 45:2-3 I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.

[bluidkiti]

March 13: This is a brand new day, a clean slate. You can make it a good day if you will rise up in the strength of My Spirit and walk with Me. Set your heart to follow My leading and to do good. Do not waste this day with worry or self-loathing. Be strong and courageous. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.

[bluidkiti]

March 14: In the midst of uncertainty and confusion in the world, you can be as steady as a rock. You are not your environment. You belong to Me, and I will provide stability and strength in otherwise precarious surroundings. I am your Rock and your Fortress. Put your trust in Me. Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

[bluidkiti]

March 15: You are My emissary, a representative of the Kingdom of God, and it is My desire that you strive to represent My character and nature in all that you are and all that you do. It is just as easy to do right as it is to do wrong, but you have the power to choose to be a worthy ambassador. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

[bluidkiti]

March 16: Listen for the sound of silence and be comfortable with it. When nothing is stirring you to deep thought or action, you must stir yourself so that you do not lose your edge. Take the initiative through a desire to know Me more personally and intimately. Explore the depths of spiritual truth, and delight yourself in the light of revelation. Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

[bluidkiti]

March 17: Quiet your soul, and allow Me to lead you through this valley. Never doubt that I am with you to guide you and give you wisdom. I know that it sometimes feels like I am far away, but I, the Lord, am as close as your breath, and I will never leave you nor forsake you. Rise up in faith and walk with Me. Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

[bluidkiti]

March 18: Put yourself in divine order and in the flow of My Spirit. Allow nothing to interfere with the peace that comes with being in perfect harmony with Me, says the Lord. Proceed with the assurance that I know every detail of your life and that I care for you. I am with you, and will take you where you need to be, to do what I have given you to do. Trust and obey. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

[bluidkiti]

March 19: You are in a season of preparing the ground of your heart to receive greater spiritual revelation. You must internalize that truth. Receive it in the good ground of your heart with faith and understanding that it will take root, grow, and produce a harvest. Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, not sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

[bluidkiti]

March 20: Issues in your life that have seemed to be obscure will now begin to become clear. It will be as though you stepped out of deep darkness into the bright light of day. I will bring clarity to that which has been cloudy, and cause you to see beyond confusion to grasp revelation. Luke 1:78-79 Through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

[bluidkiti]

March 21: Set yourself to be sensitive to the moving of the Spirit. You will need to shut out the thoughts of condemnation, anxiety, and worry. Rise above the mundane to live and walk in the Holy Spirit. This will take conscious effort in the beginning, but will soon become a way of life. Galatians 5:24-25 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

[bluidkiti]

March 22: There are adjustments to be made in specific areas of your work flow. I will give you the wisdom you need to make changes that will result in greater clarity, understanding, and safety. Remember that you are under My protection, and I will guide you through even the most difficult maze, says the Lord. Deuteronomy 31:8 And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.

[bluidkiti]

March 23: Continue to move forward even when there are physical and emotional barriers. Do not sit down and give up. You are still a vital human being, and you can do far more than you think you can. Rise up internally to find that place of strength and hope. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. 2 Chronicles 15:7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.

[bluidkiti]

March 24: Take the time to evaluate your vulnerabilities. Make whatever changes are necessary to stay safe and protected. Strengthen your resolve to make it through current challenges. It may not be easy, but it is necessary. Keep your wits about you and calculate your best course of action. When in doubt, ask for wisdom. 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]

March 25: Rise up to overcome the obstacles in your way. I have given you the strength and courage to defeat the enemy and walk in victory. You are strong in Me and in the power of My might, says the Lord. Refuse to get discouraged or to accept defeat. You are a mighty warrior dressed for battle. Ephesians 6:12-18 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

[bluidkiti]

March 26: Settle down and be methodical in all that you do. Remember the old adage, haste makes waste. These times have been challenging, but you can easily overcome if you stay calm and proceed with caution. Do not take on more than you can effectively handle. Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

[bluidkiti]

March 27: This is a turn-around day when you are no longer a victim of circumstances. You have the power to defeat and vanquish the enemy of your soul. Find the place of inner strength, and rise up out of the dead ashes of the past. Renew yourself in the power of faith and hope. Be determined to succeed. 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

[bluidkiti]

March 28: Refuse the temptation to project out into the future. Stay in the present, and do your best to have the patience to take one day at a time. Otherwise, you will construct a false narrative. Focus on living every day in relationship with Me, and be led by the Spirit. Be righteous. Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

[bluidkiti]

March 29: When there are things you need to figure out, do not panic. Take every issue one at a time and ask for wisdom. Do your best to stay calm, cool and collected. You are well able to get through this time of uncertainty. Maintain a state of peace in your soul. 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]

March 30: This is a time of new beginnings when you can effectively make changes that will result in greater safety and protection. Stay alert as you put the past behind you and reach toward the goal of your highest spiritual calling. Settle yourself in the strength and power of the Holy Spirit. Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 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]

March 31: You will be faced with situations that you have never considered until now, and you may not know how to respond. So, be still in that moment; collect your thoughts and quiet your emotions. Focus your attention on the power of My presence to give you the strength you need to take the next step. I am with you! Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
