Are you ready for the change?
You’ve endured much along the journey, and your faithfulness has made you strong.
What God has spoken to you is coming to pass with much vigor.
Stay strong in prayer. Continue to live life with those He’s given you so that you can maintain your fruitfulness. (John 15: 5;8;15)
Precisely follow the instructions of the Lord. If He removed people from your lives by letting them go astray, do not chase after nor seek them.
Let the Lord forge your path—clearing away all that’s necessary and making it pleasing unto Him.
Thank the Lord for answering your prayers and giving you victory!
This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see!
This is the day the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it! (Psalm 118: 21-24)
Continue to manage your life wisely, and let the Holy Spirit guide you in all matters.
Do not waste your breath on meaningless conversation or spend time with those who are clearly against you.
Give each issue over to God, and let Him do what’s necessary.
God will vindicate you as you follow His path.
Remember and understand these words from the Teacher, Solomon, King David’s son who ruled in Jerusalem.
Ecclesiastes 1:14
“I observed everything going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless—like chasing the wind.”
Ecclesiastes 2:8-17
8 “I collected great sums of silver and gold, the treasure of many kings and provinces. I hired wonderful singers, both men and women, and had many beautiful concubines. I had everything a man could desire! 9 So I became greater than all who had lived in Jerusalem before me, and my wisdom never failed me. 10 Anything I wanted, I would take. I denied myself no pleasure. I even found great pleasure in hard work, a reward for all my labors. 11 But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless—like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere. 12 So I decided to compare wisdom with foolishness and madness (for who can do this better than I, the king). 13 I thought, “Wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness. 14 For the wise can see where they are going, but fools walk in the dark.” Yet I saw that the wise and the foolish share the same fate. 15 Both will die. So I said to myself, “Since I will end up the same as the fool, what’s the value of all my wisdom? This is all so meaningless!” 16 For the wise and the foolish both die. The wise will not be remembered any longer than the fool. In the days to come, both will be forgotten. 17 So I came to hate life because everything done here under the sun is so troubling. Everything is meaningless—like chasing the wind.”
Ecclesiastes 3:14-15
14 “And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God’s purpose is that people should fear him. 15 What is happening now has happened before, and what will happen in the future has happened before, because God makes the same things happen over and over again.
Ecclesiastes 6: 8-9
8 “So are wise people really better off than fools? Do poor people gain anything by being wise and knowing how to act in front of others?”
9 “Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless—like chasing the wind.”
Ecclesiastes 9:10-12
10 “Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. 11 I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time. 12 People can never predict when hard times might come. Like fish in a net or birds in a trap, people are caught by sudden tragedy.”
Ecclesiastes 12:1;13-14
1“Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”
13 “That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. 14 God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.”
Stand strong, and keep moving in your purpose even when those who should have understanding never apply it.
Always remember, God loves you.
What you carry is extremely valuable and needed. You were built for such a time as this.
Stay vigilant.
Stay ready.
