Be alert,
stand firm in the faith,
be courageous,
be strong.
Let love
be in all.
---- my own,
Today, this hour, this moment, receive My Word in your heart, contemplate it, meditate on it the whole day, allow it to speak to you, and allow it to direct all that you think, do, and say today. Be alert, stay awake, do not allow distractions to take away your focus on the work that I, your Lord and your God, have allotted to you today. Distractions are from the tempter who is ever on the prowl, so stay on your guard. Remain vigilant and pray constantly. Keep your gaze on Me, and you will stand firmly anchored in My Word. Speak it to yourself constantly, for My Word is spirit and life. The more you allow My Word to rule your life and every area of your being, the more you will grow, be filled with courage, and nothing will cause you to be fearful or anxious, for you will be rooted in its strength and power. And finally, the key to living a life that is always pleasing to Me, to My Abba, and the Holy Spirit is to let love be your guide. Let love direct all your actions. Take a moment to look at everyone you meet today and see Me in them. Love them not just for My sake but for their own because they too are Mine just as you are Mine now and forever. Continue to bring all your prayers and petitions to Me with faith and hope, certain that I delight in giving the Holy Spirit to all so all can come to the knowledge of Truth and be saved.
