Maintaining a proper posture with the Father is an ardent task and many things will stage up against us when we set our hearts and minds in this direction.

Difficulties, distractions, and delays are classic challenges that push back on us as we seek to firm up our faith and to stand with our Savior in a strong and strategic place.

There is no doubt that the events of 2020 pushed against us … and almost dared us to try and stand our ground. Many have suffered great losses over the last year in a variety of places. Our sense of security has been subjected to harsh scrutiny and it seems that our very souls have been shaken.

It is critical that we see the strategies of our God rather than stew about the schemes of man.

Undoubtedly, there are a lot of voices clamoring to be heard. It seems that everybody has an agenda to promote or a preferred outcome that they want to push our way.

The truth is, all of this is simply an attempt to overplay the Word and the Way of the Lord!

Here is what we need to attach ourselves to and truly make this the anchor of our souls …

Be Alert And Attentive … And Always In Agreement With The Plans And Purposes Of God

Taking this on will lead us to life and to the “living Word of the Lord”.

This is the time for us to look to the Lord all the more, to be attentive and to be in agreement with Him.

God always has a plan, He is forever fulfilling His purposes and He has already proclaimed that He will lead us into overwhelming victory. In Him … we always win!

I believe the Lord longs to affirm His Word to us … while we may be fixated on being informed about all the stuff that is spinning around.

The truth is, the “news of the day” is not what matters … what matters is the “Word of the Lord.”

This is why He is calling us to …

Be Alert And Attentive … And Always In Agreement With The Plans And Purposes Of God

I love Proverbs 19:21, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

Today’s world confirms perfectly what the first part of this verse proclaims, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart”

These plans are full of contradiction, controversy and conflict. We hear so many that we risk “information fatigue”. Every day, another plan is being propagated.

Over and over again this continues to play out.

Here is what we need to remember … the second part of Proverbs 19:21_ ” … it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails!!”

Did you get that … It is the Lord’s purpose that prevails!!

▪ This brings peace
▪ This builds hope
▪ This breaks the cycle of despair
▪ THIS BRINGS LIFE

Be Alert And Attentive … And Always In Agreement With The Plans And Purposes Of God

When we take this to heart … everything changes!

Today … with no delay, this is where we want to position ourselves … alert, attentive and always in agreement.

I am convinced that this will do our hearts good … and as we share this message, it will do good to our world.

Oh, how I love His Word!

Let’s take this on … right now!

I am in … and you?
