Lord: You can only live today - yesterday is past and no-one has ever been able to change the past. The past is frozen in the past. Tomorrow has not yet come and no-one can know what tomorrow holds except me, for I alone see the beginning and the end. You can plan for tomorrow and attempt to predict tomorrow, but tomorrow has not yet come. The events of tomorrow can be, and often are, influenced and changed by today. So live for today, committing today into my hands, and committing each decision you make today into my hands. Let me shape your tomorrow, for I hold your times in my hands.
Every morning I wake up the sun and arouse the animals. I paint the sky and adorn the flowers of the field. I water my garden and watch over the growth of every living thing. I order the cycle of life and command the wind to blow and the rain to fall. I give breath to every living thing. I the Lord, the Creator, I alone sustain the world and keep it turning. And I order the ways of men. Mankind thinks he orders his own life, but it is I the Lord who gives and who takes away, even, and including the financial institutions of man, which dominate half the population's thinking, and are no more than clay idols, which I, with the slightest flick of my little finger, bring crashing to the ground.
Oh when will my children, those who are called by my name, stop trusting in the institutions of men, which will all fail and pass away, and start trusting in me, the eternal rock which never shifts?
Those who seek me will find me, those who place their trust in me will never be put to shame. But those who do not seek, will never find me and those who trust in the shifting values of this world will be shamed and humiliated.
Do not be beguiled by the thought of riches and power, or even by the 'security' wealth can bring, for these things are not a part of the real world. They are here today and gone tomorrow.
I the Lord your God am the only reality which lasts, and my love, care and promises for you, stand forever. Trust in me.
Let me make my home in your lives. Let me be a part of the decisions of your life. Let me take control of your finances, your income and your expenditure. Let me determine the level of your spending and your giving, that I may show you the extent of my love for you.
For I would, that you would see my glory and be a part of the work we are doing in these days. As I open your eyes to my work of the Holy Spirit, you will be amazed.
Share this with my people.
Me: Lord, I am amazed that you give me this now and not while I was out walking with you.
Lord: My Son, the walk is so that you can start the day with me - to wake up and to clear all the clutter from the garage of your mind. It is in this moment of writing your journal that I will guide your pen and give you my thoughts. Be open to me, for my Spirit is the pen of the ready writer. Trust me.
