Today
I have pondered on the inevitability of who You are:
It
is Inevitable that your love will permeate the coldest heart
It
is Inevitable that your promises are Yes and Amen
It
is Inevitable that you will keep us safe
It
is Inevitable that we will walk the streets paved with gold for eternity
It
is Inevitable that you will turn all things to good
It
is Inevitable that you will bring the light into a dark world
It
is Inevitable that joy will bubble up as I read your word & hope will
become my pillar by day
It
is Inevitable that if I take those running steps into your arms that I will
experience peace & grace; I will send mountains into the sea, possess my
land, comfort the mourning and rise on the wings of worship
It
is Inevitable that the depth of your love will spill out over everyone I meet
bringing with it revival of heart after heart
It
is Inevitable that one day I will meet you face to face and the only words
tumbling from my lips will be “Thank You”.
It
is inevitable that as I honor You, Worship You, Glorify You and walk toward
righteousness; as I call Heaven to Earth, healing to the broken of heart and/or
body; as I cry out for more wisdom, love, peace and grace; as I dream the
dreams you’ve given me with abandonment and faith You will show Yourself
faithful!
Today
I declare a release of faith over the dreams and visions that we have hidden in
the recesses of our hearts. You know the
ones…those that we have lost hope in, that we’ve decided to put away until the
right time and place or until the right person comes along to help manifest
it. Ours are ones of boats running up
and down the Nile with medical supplies and bush planes full of rice and school
supplies; Ipods and computers for all the missionaries; a home on the cliff
with a yellow hummer, children running around our feet and a plane to get to
any missionary in Africa quickly. You have them too. They differ from ours but God
has given you desires that cause you to long for that one thing, that
place you go to when you are alone and it is quiet.
God
showed me a picture of a very, very long and beautiful river with trees shading
the banks. Roy & I were standing on a boat at the mouth of the river,
longingly looking the length of it, when God’s voice so clearly rose above the
sound of the motor saying, “It’s not that
there is so far to go as there is so much in front of you. Toss away the boxes you’ve packed your dreams
in and declare a resurrection; then place each one in the room with us and let’s talk
about them. Together we will
speak life into and over them; there are those waiting to be a part of a
miracle, waiting for you to ask, waiting to pray, looking for their own
‘inevitable’."
Today
I pray you completely immerse yourself in the privilege and honor of God’s
presence where the impossible dreams can be accomplished.
