During our corporate prayer time on Monday night, the Lord stirred my heart that God is faithful. I heard Him say, What I’ve begun, I finish, What I say, I do. I began a good work and I complete that which I begin. So, set your face on the things that I have put in motion because what I’ve put in motion there’s no end to the increase.
The Lord directed me to Proverbs chapter 4 beginning at verse 18.
Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
That word “perfect” there, could mean “fullness”. It’s a very broad meaning on that Hebrew word. It actually means until the day is totally day. That light shines ever brighter on to the fullness of that day. So whatever God says, the path of the just shines like the sun, shines ever brighter unto the perfect day – the fullness of what that day is.
Proverbs 4:19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. 20 My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. 27 Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.
I hear the Lord saying in this, that this is a year to walk the path. This is a year to pay attention to your feet. This is a year to pay attention to what I have set before you and don’t think that I’ve set it long way off. I’ve set it for your feet to fit, for your feet to find. So, don’t t look for that which is beyond what you can see, but look to what you can see which comes from Me. For you are not walking the path of the wicked, you are walking the path of light. You are not walking a path that stumbles, but you are walking a path that leads from strength to strength, glory to glory, increase to increase. So, pay attention to My words. This is a year where I am speaking much and I’m calling you to hear much, if you would pay attention to the words that I say. Incline your ear to My sayings and don’t let them depart from your eyes. Let what I say be what you see. Let what I say be what you see. And keep them in the midst of your heart. Let what I say become that which you cherish, that which you value, that which you feast upon, that which you feed upon. For they are life to those who find them. You will find My words and then health, health, health, health will come to their flesh. Health will come to My body. Health will come to My body. Keep your heart with all diligence and the evidence is it springs forth with life. It springs forth with life from within you. This is not a time to act as those who stumble. This is a time to act as those who walk the path of life that they might bring life to the world. Let your eyes look straight ahead and your eyelids look right before you, right before you. You don’t need to know what you don’t need to know. You don’t need to see what you don’t need to see yet. You don’t need to think what you don’t need to think yet. So, let your eyes look straight ahead and your eyelids look right before you, because I’m putting things within your path. I’m putting things within your footsteps this year, says God. And I’m going to cause My body to rise up in new heath and new purpose – new focus. And the focus will not be what I’m going to do the focus will be seeing what I am already doing within them. For it’s the feet that you shall see, and you will know that I have declared that lovely are the feet of the body that move forward in My purpose with good news. So, ponder the path of your feet and let your ways be established. Let your ways be established, let YOUR ways be established, for your ways will be seen as My ways, says God, because you pay attention to what I say, and you let what I say be what you see. Don’t turn to the right or to the left, simply remove your foot from evil.
God is speaking and we are hearing. We hear God as sons and daughters. We hear God as a family who hears our heavenly Father. The greatest thing that is going on in the earth is that the path of the just is growing brighter and brighter every day. As leaders we must set an example of keeping our focus on the path that is set before us so we can inspire others to choose the path of life in a day of many wandering paths of those who stumble. We must lead in hope, because we are living in a day of greater hope. It is a day of greater light and light will shine in the darkness to reveal a path of our Father’s glory.
