May you stand every place God directs you and speak all of the words He gives you to each of the people He brings you, whether it be words of comfort or of rebuke, of acceptance or of warning, for He desires that none would perish, and takes no delight in the death of the sinner, seeking only for them to turn from their own way and be obedient to Him, that He may relent from the disaster that evil requires, and instead bring the blessing that obedience permits. Jeremiah 26
May you clearly discern between that which is sacred and that in which the sacred dwells, giving the vessel honor but giving the Lord praise, seeking the One Whom you cannot see, and not settling for the vessel just because you can see it. Jeremiah 26

My child, do not expect physical or spiritual ease during harvest season. I assign both workers and warriors for the field, for this is the season in which the raiders are seen in the land, seeking to steal the harvest for themselves, and destroy any part of the harvest they cannot steal. I am calling you to long hours, hard work, extreme conditions, full alertness and constant watchfulness.
Expect the barricades to be in your way, My laborer, for that is why I have empowered you to scale a wall. There will be troops of robbers riding through the land, My warrior, for that is why I have prepared you to run against a swarm of thieves.
Though I teach your hands to war and make your feet sure like hinds feet on high places, do not trust your skill with the bow to rescue you or your strength with the sword to save you. Seek Me for direction, ask Me whether a battle is yours to fight, for at times I will tell you to stand by and see the deliverance that I will bring you. At other times, I will give you the strategy by which the enemy will be routed, but always know that the victory is Mine to give you in order that you can manifest what I have worked in you.
Whether you find yourself engaged in spiritual battle from sunrise to sunset, or need to endure no greater challenge than stacking the sheaves of grain that have been reaped in the field, you are called to demonstrate and exercise the divine nature that has been worked in you through your submissive yielding to My Spirit and My Word.
I set the boundaries across which the enemy cannot cross, but I do not shield you from the requirements I expect of My children as My representatives, My ambassadors, members of My family who bear My name and My honor before the world.
May you always follow Christ's example in all you do, living according to the teaching of the Word which godly people have demonstrated for you and the Spirit has made life to you, ever laboring in the work of the Lord, not seeking to exercise “rights” but to walk alongside others as a model, never tiring of doing what is right. 2 Thessalonians 3

May you listen to what God the Lord says as He promises peace to His people and to His saints, if they will not return to their folly, for He will restore His people and put away His displeasure, showing His unfailing love and granting His salvation, which is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in the land. Psalm 85
May you allow faithfulness to spring forth from your heart while righteousness looks down from heaven, as it goes before Him and prepares the way for His steps so that the Lord can indeed give what is good and the land will yield its harvest, once love and faithfulness meet together, and righteousness and peace kiss each other. Psalm 85
May you exercise moderation in your enjoyment lest indulging excessively cause you to despise it. Proverbs 25:16
