May you earnestly seek for, and deeply desire, the wisdom from God to walk humbly in the allowed paths and, with the understanding that comes from the Word and through the Spirit, avoid forbidden options, for just as Uzziah sought the honor of offering incense at the altar, and even Adam partook of the restricted choice in Eden, the results of prideful over-reaching are long-term and life-changing. 2 Chronicles 26

My child, be found in Me. Submit to Me as a sheep to its shepherd, following, trusting, confident of care and peace. Obey Me as a sworn soldier does his captain, loyally, unquestioningly, unswervingly. Stand for Me as does a grown, mature son who is fully engaged in his father's work, dedicated, single-minded, focused. Be united with Me as the parts of your body are connected together, functional, cohesive, cooperative.
Set aside every distraction, My dear one, whatever threatens to become more important to you than following Me. I am your Mediator, your Guide, the One Who has gone before you, blazing the trail, marking the path. I know what you will face, and have made preparations for you. But you must be focused on where we are going, you must stay close enough to hear, and you must be attentive to My words. You have to be able to recognize My voice from the many others speaking, and you need to have a willing heart to obey Me faithfully, without debate.
Find your identity in Me, My precious one, for in Me are all things that you have need of. In Me, you have acceptance with the Father into the family of God. In My name, you receive your requests of the Father. You cannot stand in your own natural identity; you must know Me, and be known by Me, to know eternal life. Your motivation, your purpose, your life must be hid in Me. Your will must be subsumed in Mine, known, cherished, treasured, but subordinate.
The things you do on your own, for your own satisfaction and reputation, even though they are what I have said to do, if they are not done in obedience to Me and for My glory, are rewarded on earth, and have no eternal reward, and you will have no part with Me.
As you abide in Me, My love, you draw on everything you need for life, abundantly. I give you the strength to walk as an overcomer, the vision to see in others that which I value, the grace to accept each person as one of My own precious ones, the mercy to show My love to those who revile you.
You can not take a deep enough breath to last for a whole day; you cannot eat enough today to last for six months. You must also abide in Me, moment by moment, so that you may draw on My provision, hear My voice, be led by My Spirit, walk in My anointing, and pray in My name as I bring divine appointments your way.
May you submit yourself to the governing authorities for there is no authority except that which God has established, therefore if you rebel against authority, you are rebelling against what God has instituted and will bring judgment on yourself. Romans 13
May you do what is right and be free from fear of the one in authority. Romans 13
May you give to everyone what you owe him, whether taxes, or revenue, or respect, or honor, letting no debt remain outstanding except the continuing debt to love one another, for love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13
May you understand the present time for the hour has come to wake up from slumber because our salvation is nearer now than when you first believed, so put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light, clothing yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, not thinking of how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Romans 13
May you not be in want, for the Lord is your Shepherd, Who makes you lie down in green pastures and leads you beside quiet waters, restoring your soul and guiding you in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Psalm 23
May you fear no evil for though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He is with you and His rod and staff bring comfort to you. Psalm 23
May the Lord prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies, as He anoints your head with oil and overflows your cup with abundance, for goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life and you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23
