CALM AND SUBMISSIVE BEFORE YOUR NEXT ASSIGNMENT
1/13/25 CALM AND SUBMISSIVE BEFORE YOUR NEXT ASSIGNMENT
Five times this month, the Lord has told me to REST. He also keeps telling me my past assignments were completed and I am waiting for my next. I have been wanting to press past the past and into the new! I have not understood why He was telling me to rest. I finally understood when I watched the Dog Whisperer last week. It had been a long time since I watched his shows.
When the Dog Whisperer faces a bad behavior in a dog, his goal is to move the dog’s stuck brain (his fixation) to move past the behavior. He has various ways to get the dog’s focus past where it is stuck. Many times Ceasar has to bring the dog into a calm submitted place before he can regain the focus of the dog into the right place to heed.
I keep wanting to move but He is asking me to rest. I don’t want to rest I want to move on in order to get past focusing on past assignments. It feels like resting is keeping my focus behind me and not ahead. And yet He has told me to rest. Now I understand why. The old doggie brain is hyper and stressed and needs to SETTLE. I need to settle into my quiet place with Him in order to find my next assignment.
WORD TO PONDER WEBSITE:
DAILY BREAD: LEARN TO BE STILL AND KNOW HE IS GOD
Precious child, I love you so much. I have taken you on many journeys to find ways to get your daily bread. You have learned many lessons along the way. Sometimes I smile watching your track record and the miles you cover just for one morsal! Your hunger for Me moves Me to passion too. I miss you just as you miss Me.
In your search, I have never wanted you to suffer stress, frustration or trauma over seeking Me. I know your needs, your desires, and your hunger. In your hunger to find My daily Word, can you let go of the mindsets that limit your entering in? Fussing will not accomplish a thing, but bring you more stress.
My Word comes from being still before Me. How do you be still? Put away all distractions, bring your focus upon Me and My goodness towards you. Accept My promise to you of daily bread. Yes pray for it every day, just as I said. Settle in and trust that I have heard your prayer and I will either bring you to your bread, or I will bring your bread to you. Sometimes you search and dig, sometimes I drop it opening right before you. Ask Me to open your eyes and heart to see and receive it. Be still and ponder what is there. I will reveal your portion and you shall be satisfied.
Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
