December 1: No matter how precarious the atmosphere feels to you, I hold you in the palm of My hand. You can depend on Me to bring you through every uncertain situation and secure your spiritual position. Things around you may be unpredictable and scary, but I am your very present help in times of trouble. Believe it! Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.

December 2: You will be making decisions that will affect other people, so you must be mindful that you will influence those around you. Make a plan, but do not act on it until you know that is the will of God. You will know that because you will have peace of mind about the changes you will make. Philippians 2:12-13 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

December 3: Maintain your composure in the days ahead. You are likely to step outside the boundaries of normalcy and exhibit unusual behavior. So, set a watch and spend time in My presence, says the Lord, where you can regain spiritual balance. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

bluidkiti · 12-04-2024, 07:12 AM

December 4: Refuse to allow shame and regret to continue to haunt you. You have repented and changed the course of your life. It is the purpose of the enemy to torment you, but you are redeemed and forgiven by the precious blood of Christ. It is truly time to move on. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

bluidkiti · 12-05-2024, 09:35 AM

December 5: Quiet your soul, and allow spiritual regeneration to rule the day. That does not mean that you do nothing; it means that you stop worrying and fretting over things that are actually beyond your ability to change. Remember that I am your help in trouble and that you can cast your cares upon Me, says the Lord. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

bluidkiti · 12-06-2024, 03:44 AM

December 6: You need to adjust your thoughts and expectations to express the reality of your current position. There are things you must do in both the spiritual and natural realm that will enhance the truth of where you are headed. Above all trust Me to bring you through this time without a hitch. James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

bluidkiti · 12-07-2024, 07:04 AM

December 7: Examine your life and conditions to discover those things that have outlived their usefulness. It is time to prepare to move forward in the upcoming season of new beginnings. But, you have to leave behind that which will keep you anchored to the past. Allow flexibility to replace rigidity. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

bluidkiti · 12-08-2024, 06:32 AM

December 8: When you become careless and lose the ground you have gained, stop and evaluate how and where you got off, and strengthen your resolve to achieve again what you had. It is not too late to get back to where you were, But it will take self-discipline. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

bluidkiti · 12-09-2024, 07:18 AM

December 9: Being overwhelmed is a condition of the soul that can only be remedied by taking one issue at a time and dealing with it to the best of your ability until there is nothing else that needs your attention. One day at a time; one step at a time until you have peace. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

bluidkiti · 12-10-2024, 04:42 AM

December 10: There is a limit as to what you can do with physical, emotional, mental and financial resources. Be mindful of your limitations and stay within your boundaries. Do not take on more than you can effectively handle. In this season you will be tempted to throw caution and constraint to the wind and do things you will regret. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

bluidkiti · 12-11-2024, 06:52 AM

December 11: Regardless of your own personal difficulties and condition, you can always help someone less fortunate than yourself. Evaluate the kindness that you can extend or the time you can spend in prayer on their behalf. The more time you spend on others will mean the less time you can spend on yourself, especially in selfish ambition or self-pity. Philippians 2:3-4 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

bluidkiti · 12-13-2024, 03:47 AM

December 12: Faith is your friend, and worry is your enemy. When you are caught between a rock and a hard place, trust that I will show you the way out of your dilemma. I will give you the resources necessary to accomplish what I have given you to do, says the Lord, and not what you have taken upon yourself to do. Be sensitive to the moving of My Spirit. Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

December 13: In a vision I saw a field of alfalfa being harvested in three steps. First the mowing, then the raking, and finally the baling. I believe the Lord is showing us that we are coming into a season of the spiritual harvest of reaping rewards of our labor. Galatians 6:7-9 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

bluidkiti · 12-14-2024, 05:27 AM

December 14: To those who have a heart to be helpful, be mindful of the limitations of your strength and energy. Take time to rest and recharge, and be kind to yourself. Spend time in My presence so that your discernment is sharp and directives are clear. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

December 15: I am with you in times of trouble and in the midst of difficulties. Know that if you look for Me I will be found. If you will take one step towards Me, I will take a giant leap towards you. I will present Myself in ways that you would never expect, but in ways that will be exactly what you need at this moment, says the Lord. Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the end of the living.
