Let your desire be Me. All day-day and night. Set your gaze on Me. Hunger and thirst for My voice. I will lead you through the path I have set for you.
Don’t look back or crave the things that have been. You can’t always see or understand how I am working things out, but trust and know that I am working for your good.
Purify your heart for I am in your midst. My people will be a people pure in heart and speech.
Stand upright in righteousness and watch my favor pour out over you.
My ways are not your ways. Cling to Me and walk at My side.
Look, a little ways ahead. There is a door. When you get to it, open it and walk through it.
On the other side of the door is a new season I will have you walk. A new season where you will see me work double no triple paced. The call and desire I put in your heart will come to pass.
You’ve been in a waiting season, but when you walk through that door, the waiting will be over.
Put on your shoes and your coat and be ready for when I tell you to move. Do not delay, but obey.
There is tremendous joy and blessing in obedience. Know my Word and obey it.
I tell you, you will be great among men because I have chosen it. I see your heart and I am glad. It is for my pleasure that I set you apart.
Now cross the bridge and hike the slope; the door is there. Just a little ways away.
Do not fear or hesitate when you approach the door. But walk through it with rejoicing and gladness.
I am with you always.
“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17 ESV
