Week 1 Day 5

Late tonight....but you got to wait til inspiration strikes...right?!

Today the Lord was talking to me about the eroding of hope. 

When we press towards our goals, and little things begin stand in our way. People go back on their word, the market drops, clients cancel orders, ect. ect. ect. 

It doesn't really matter what it is, what matters is how do you deal with the little things.

I am reminded of the passage out of Song of Songs where the lover is asking the bridegroom to catch the little foxes that are in the vineyard. The foxes aren't going to totally tear it up, but they will mess with it enough that at least some fruit is stolen, tampered, or destroyed.

So in pondering this, the Lord dropped this little gem into my spirit. 

"Unjust things are going to happen in business. But what you do with it matters. You can play the victim and receive bitterness, disappointment and set back. Or if you let me vindicate and justify you, I will always repay."

So today, ponder if you are in alignment to a victim or if you are submitted to the court of the Lord. Are you letting the little things steal your focus? Are you feeling like you are out of control? Remember you always have seed you can sow. Or, are you trusting Jesus to work out your honor?

In certain seasons, it is easy to do and in others, difficult. Which season are you in? Typically speaking, if you haven't dealt with the season that is difficult, (even the ones from the past) then they will be affecting your ability to move forward without losing hope and vision. Let's regain some of our power by removing the places where we have felt like a victim. 

After thinking and pondering, drop me a line to let me know how you are dealing with your foxes.

Bless

___________, I bless you in the name ofJesus. I bless you to understand the justice of the Lord. I bless you to see how He fights for you. I bless you to rest in his judgement over you situation and your life. For His thoughts towards you and your business are good. They are plans to prosper you and to bring success. I bless you to walk in this truth as you deal with the unfair.

Declare

I declare that I will not justify myself or vindicate myself. I will let the Lord be my justification and vindication. I will choose to walk in honor when it is easy and when it is hard. Even in difficult situations, I will sow seeds that will produce a harvest for me. I declare that I trust my lawyer, Jesus, and I will stand before the Father and ask Him to make a judgement on my behalf instead of striving to fix and solve every wrong-doing I receive.
