Small Straws In A Soft Wind - May

[bluidkiti]

May 1: You can look back regretting the things you have done and the circumstances you have endured, but it will not change what was or has been. What you can do is repent and ask the forgiveness of God, leave it behind, and move on with your focus on fulfilling the purposes of the Lord in your life. 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]

May 2: I know you, says the Lord, and I see what you have been through. I have been with you all the way to give you strength and the resolve to endure. Never doubt My love and care for you. Know that you can trust Me and lean on Me to be your very present help in all things. You have come this far, and you will continue to go the distance. Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.

[bluidkiti]

May 3: When difficulties and challenges arise, you must be flexible to do what is required of you. Realize that I am with you to give you wisdom and direction in every circumstance. Do not be afraid to step out in faith, and know that you can accomplish what seems to be impossible. Be strong and of good courage, says the Lord. Take one step at a time in realizing your goal so that you do not become overwhelmed. 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]

May 4: Some of you, My people, are more creative than others, but everyone is creative in his own way and genre. Some of you have neglected your gift by being immersed in the stark reality of undesirable world conditions. Allow your creativity to be a place of solace and of allowing spiritual reality to kick in. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, says 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]

May 5: Deliberately come into peace as you release yourself from stress. Step on to the firm foundation of faith in My word, in My kingdom, and in relationship with Me, says the Lord. When your foundation is solid everything that you build will reflect that same fundamental power. Your position in Me will bring you to a position of life and strength. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

[bluidkiti]

May 6: You are in a season of progression. You will be able to break through invisible barriers that have kept you from achieving certain goals. If you pay attention, you will discover that you are experiencing a freedom that only comes from realizing spiritual reality. Refuse to believe that living and walking in the Spirit is fragile. It is the most solid existence possible. 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]

May 7: Hang on to My promises when you have a setback. Overall, you are making progress, but not all things are coming up roses and clover. Challenges are part of life that either break you down or strengthen your resolve. It will be up to you as to how you respond. You would do well to be strong in the face of adversity, and put your trust in Me, says the Lord. 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]

May 8: This is a time when you must rest and be restored. Rise up in the Spirit and access the substance of rejuvenation and receive it by faith. Everything you need to be refreshed and renewed is within your grasp. This is a new day, and you have the ability to reset and begin again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

[bluidkiti]

May 9: For those who have been traveling on a rough road, which has seemed insurmountable, it will begin to smooth out. But, you must let go of issues that have kept you in turmoil. You can do this by putting them in My capable hands, says the Lord. You must stop fretting about things that have no eternal value, and put your trust in Me for guidance and protection. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

[bluidkiti]

May 10: You will have opportunities to deal with unresolved issues at this time, and it will be in your flow to do so. Do not be afraid to take drastic measures when necessary. It is time to clear the slate and begin again. You will be glad and relieved that you did. Colossians 3:23-24 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

[bluidkiti]

May 11: When issues of life overwhelm you, and you feel like you are drowning in things too difficult to deal with, know that I hold you in the palm of My hand, says the Lord. Never stop believing that I am with you and for you and that I will bring you through every challenge. All you must do is have faith and believe that I will. Nothing is too big or beyond My reach. Luke 1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible.

[bluidkiti]

May 12: Make yourself available to Me, says the Lord, and I will use you in miraculous ways to demonstrate My kingdom. Remember that I am no respecter of persons. Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

[bluidkiti]

May 13: Beloved, the more you establish order in your life, the more freedom you can enjoy. Refuse to get bogged down with things that have no eternal value. Rather focus on the spiritual aspects of your life and being. Seek to use the gifts you have been given so that you can produce the fruit of the Spirit, says the Lord. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

[bluidkiti]

May 14: Check yourself to determine how you are treating those around you. Remember that what you do to others will be done to you. See that you show the same respect to the people around you as you expect from them. Romans 14:8-10 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

[bluidkiti]

May 15: Put your priorities in order so that you can prosper in all things. Every thought, every decision, every action should be according to what is right and just, says the Lord. Only then will you be rewarded for your efforts. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

[bluidkiti]

May 16: Refuse to worry about people and things that you have no responsibility for or control over. You have enough to attend to where you do have authority without reaching beyond your rightful limits. Release yourself from any liability that is not rightfully yours and stay within the limitations of what you are in charge of. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

[bluidkiti]

May 17: There are issues in your life that you need to confront with truth and righteousness. You can do this by defining your goals and confronting your resistance to carry out your intentions. This can only be done by self-examination and getting to the root of the problem, which is likely to be fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

[bluidkiti]

May 18: Ephesians 4:29-32 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 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]

May 19: There are things that I want to reveal to you that you have not yet considered. However, you have to come to Me in the Spirit to see and understand. Position yourself to receive the revelations of this time in your life, says the Lord, and I will show you things to come. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trust in You.

[bluidkiti]

May 20: To those who have been obedient to My leading and continue to seek My face, you are on the verge of significant breakthrough. You will begin to catch a glimpse of your destiny and be able to progress in ways you have not yet considered. I am leading you every step of the way, and you will have to be careful to not get ahead of Me, says the Lord. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

[bluidkiti]

May 21: Set aside time to rest and reevaluate what you have done, what you must do, what you want to do, and how you will go about it. There are places of neglect and regret that need to be rectified as you establish yourself in divine order. 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]

May 22: Examine yourself to make sure that you have forgiven every person who has come against you in any way. That is the only way for you to receive forgiveness for what you have done to others in thought, word, or deed. You cannot progress until you are blameless in this aspect of your life, says the Lord. Mark 11:25-26 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.

[bluidkiti]

May 23: You are beginning a new chapter in your life. The past is behind, and the door is open to your future. It is up to you to write the next chapter. You will do this by the decisions you make and what you choose to do with every day. Choose carefully and wisely with the understanding that your thoughts, words, and deeds will reap their own consequences either good or bad. Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

[bluidkiti]

May 24: Even when life is difficult to navigate and it seems like you cannot make sense of what is happening around you, I am still with you, says the Lord. Stay the course, and continue to do your best; I will take care of the rest. You can trust Me to do what you cannot do and take you where you cannot go on your own. Maintain an unrelenting faith. Mark 11:22-24 So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

[bluidkiti]

May 25: Gather your strength, make a plan, and do what needs to be done in preparation for the next leg of your journey. It might not be easy, but it will be necessary. There will be highs and lows in your circumstances, but you must maintain your spiritual equilibrium regardless of what you are facing in the natural realm. Your strength to endure will come from your relationship with Me, says the Lord. 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]

May 26: Be alert and pay attention to the small things. Knowing the details will make all the difference at this time and can be extremely important to the outcome of situations you encounter. Exercise your discernment so that you can avoid costly mistakes. Know that I am with you to take you in the right direction, says the Lord. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

[bluidkiti]

May 27: Things that have been murky or that you have been undecided about will now become clear. The mental fog is lifting, and you will be able to see the road ahead with more clarity. The path before you has been carved out, and the way has been established. Rise up with determination to follow My lead, says the Lord. I am with you all the way. Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

[bluidkiti]

May 28: Watch for circumstances that cause you to feel helpless and not equipped to handle. Refuse to dump down in despair and helplessness. Rise up to your potential in Me, says the Lord. Remind yourself that you belong to Me, and that you can do all things that have been given to you when you trust Me to bring you through. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

[bluidkiti]

May 29: You are stepping into a time of renewal when solving problems will be easier than it has been. Listen for My still small voice to guide you and give you wisdom. Stay focused and deal with one thing at a time so that you do not get overwhelmed. Be righteous, says the Lord. Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

[bluidkiti]

May 30: Even though your breakthrough is not necessarily what you wanted or expected, it is a new beginning. What is behind you is in the past, and you will have opportunities to forge ahead in unexpected ways. Continue on with the understanding that I will never leave you nor forsake you, says the Lord. Be strong and unwavering. Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said: I will never leave you nor forsake you. The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me? May 29, 2024: You are stepping into a time of renewal when solving problems will be easier than it has been.

I will release a sense of relief and comfort as you step out in new emotional and mental territory. This is a new day. Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
