No small moments

Proverbs 15:3 KJV — The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

The big, the small, and the in-between moments?

God sees them.

God sees you.

In every place.

In fact, He’s with you, He’s in you and you are One spirit with Him through your faith in Jesus.

That’s what happened when you got born again.

Your nature was transformed.

Because of what Jesus did on the cross over 2,000 years before you were born.

Your moments were also changed.

Because you and He are now one, there are no “small moments”.

God lives in you.

That’s a big deal.

In the love of the Lord

Proverbs 14:26 KJV — In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

In.

In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence. (Old covenant)

In the love of the Lord is strong confidence. (New covenant)

The strong confidence is the fruit of being rooted in God’s love for you.

Focus on the “in” and the outward stuff will take care of itself.

Expect to inherit

Proverbs 13:22 KJV — A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

You are an heir. You have been left an inheritance. You are the beneficiary of the effort and labour of those who preceeded you. Things just work out for you. Doors and opportunities abound before you. Everything you do is downstream from the efforts of those who preceeded you.

Regardless of your experience, cultivate this expectation. (Galatians 3:29)

You are an heir. Expect to inherit.

Guided by identity

Proverbs 11:5 KJV — The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

You are a son of God.

You are one spirit with the Lord.

He guides you by your oneness with Him.

He guides you by your true identity.

Yours is to move forward by faith. His is to direct your motion.

Consequence of wisdom

Proverbs 8:21 KJV — That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

Let your wealth and riches be the consequence or your pursuit of wisdom.

When you don’t know where to start, start by seeking wisdom. Start by spending time in the Word of God.

The wisdom you receive will cause you to inherit what you’ve been striving for, and also equip you to keep it.

Free as a bird

Proverbs 6:5 KJV — Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

You were created to fly free in the sky. You were not created to be trapped on the earth. Your wings were made for flying, soaring, riding thermals like an Eagle, flitting through branches like a sparrow.

You were created to be free as a bird.

Break free.

You don’t need to wait. You’ve got everything you need to break free right now.

Don’t get pretty with it. Don’t try to be dignified with it.

Escape isn’t dignified, but freedom is worth it.

How to draw water from a well

Proverbs 5:15 KJV — Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Use a bucket.

The bucket is joy.

“…with joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation.”

Look for the joy in this moment. Look for what you can rejoice in. Look for what draws on the joy that is inside your spirit.

That’s what you use to draw out what you need from each person and each moment and each opportunity and each obstacle.

If you’re dying of thirst in a desert situation, look for the joy that you can set before you.

Joy is your bucket.
