Lord of the Details



“The Lord directs the steps of the godly, He delights in every detail of their lives” (Psalm 37:23).

             The Lord reigns above time. He has already been in your future. He has every detail of your life planned. Psalm 139:16 states, “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” The Lord has amazing things on the path He has planned for you.

             The key to reaching your potential and greater success is to stay on the path the Lord has planned. This is accomplished by submitting your will to the Lord. He takes care of the rest, directing daily decisions and circumstances or providing redirection if necessary.

             Everything in life is a process, sometimes with pain attached. Be encouraged, the Lord holds your moments in victory and knows how to steer you through anything on your path. The path of the righteous grows brighter (Proverbs 4:18) because the Lord goes ahead of you, smoothing out the way (Isaiah 26:7).

             Let your prayer be like the psalmist, “Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow” (Psalm 25:4). Psalm 119:35 sums up the purpose of the Lord’s preplanning, “Make me walk along the path of Your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.”
    
             Psalm 138:8 states, “The Lord will work out His plans for my life – for Your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.” The Lord loves you. He created you for a special purpose. You can trust Him to fulfill His will as You submit to Him. There is happiness on your path. He is the Lord of the details.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

The Fifth Month - Av - The Month to Hear

--> The Fifth Month – Av The Month to Hear For a number of years I have been studying and praying for insight into how the Lord moves and works in time. We learn in 1 Chronicles 12:32 that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  They were masters of the Hebrew calendar.   In Exodus 12:2 the Lord established the Hebrew calendar. “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover in the month of Nissan.  This calendar was God ordained and introduced in the Bible.   To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a different time cycle than the Word of God. The Bible refers to the month of Av as the fifth month counting from Passover.  It corresponds to the months of ...
