Rest in My promises, My child, but do not lay down your implements. Cease struggling in your own mind, My dear one, but do not go to sleep. Trust in My plans for you, My precious one, but walk them out a step at a time.
As you live within time and space, you have to deal with issues and uncertainties regarding the future; but as you dwell in eternity with Me, even now, you abide in the reality which I have spoken but is not yet manifested on earth. Therein lies the hope which sustains you even as you receive it in faith.
Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Why then should you be afraid, or tremble in dismay at those who tempt you and bring evil against you? As you yield your times into My hand, My willing one, I will deliver you from the hand of those who persecute you for My sake, for your adequacy is sufficient only when it is from Me.
I, the Lord your God, am the One Who goes ahead of you to lead you, Who is your rear-guard defending you, and Who hovers over you, covering you with My love. Acknowledge Me, for I am the One Who makes your ways straight, setting your feet in a firm place.
It is not within you to direct your own steps correctly; nor is your understanding sufficient to guard your way against the plans of the one who persistently resists My will, or keep you safe from the guile of the enemy of your soul.
As you surrender your needs and desires to Me, you will see My hand work in your circumstances to provide for you. I will also bring your heart into alignment with My will so that you no longer struggle to achieve the treasures of earth.
The goals you once devoted yourself to in your search to know happiness and find satisfaction pale when compared to the vision of My plans for you as you are freed from the love of money and fall in love with Me, the Lover of your soul. Know that I will never desert or forsake you but will always be present to help you. The fear of man you once felt will start fading in the face of My love for you.
You will find that, instead of running from the tasks I give you or hiding from the work I assign you, your spirit leaps within you at the adventure to come. Joy will fill your heart as you see My hand do great and miraculous things in your life and the lives of others. Simply rest in My promises and step forward confidently in the assurance of My presence and provision.
May you be used by God and for His name's sake to call people from the world of sin-slavery and self-indulgence to the obedience that comes from faith, even as you also are called to belong to Jesus Christ. Romans 1

May you be confident of, and have full assurance in, the promise of God that the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish, though the powers that forget God return to the grave and the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands, for the Lord is known by His justice. Psalm 9
May you be blessed with the understanding and gifted with the vision to see how receiving the grace of times of financial poverty and learning to walk in spiritual humility will filter the fair-weather friends from the strong, trust-worthy members of Christ's body that will reliably stand with you when you need them.
