Refreshment for the Journey

You cannot tell everybody your dreams because your dreams might be bigger than their expectation of you. You will do things for God that  man did not see coming. Learn to lean on the opinions of Jesus instead of allowing yourself to become esteemed by the opinions of man. Those folks do not know you or the potential that God has placed on the inside of you. Some of you even have family members that don’t know the real you. Think of yourself as a plan that God has up His sleeve. You are unexpected, but powerful through His grace.

Nobody saw Joseph coming. His own brothers did not even know who he was to God. People don’t always treat you like the One who created you. That is why you have to learn to see yourself the way that God sees you and have no bitterness in your heart toward man. Forgive those people who talk about you and use you. Joseph had to forgive his brothers because God was going to use him to protect them. People have no idea that you may be the one that God is using to pray them through whatever storm they may be facing.

You have to be clean before God no matter what life throws at you. Take it to Him and He will fight your battles. God fought battles for Elijah the prophet. Although he was tired from the journey, Elijah was faithful to God and God used him mightily despite the fact that a queen was trying to take him out. Those in high places will not be allowed to kill the very one that God has anointed to go on exploits for Him. Jezebel got to a lot of people, but she could not touch Elijah! Have faith in knowing that no matter how hard the devil tries to defeat you, he won’t win.

I pray that you are refreshed for the journey. I pray that you are longsuffering and faithful to the tasks that God has assigned you to. I pray that you know that He has your back and that no evil will befall you. I pray that he is both the pillar of  cloud and pillar of fire to you as He was to Israel. I pray that you rest in the mighty hand of the Lord and that you are assured that He is faithful to fight for those that He has anointed, appointed, approved of and sent. In Jesus name Amen.
