Good morning blessed ones!
“Father, I ask that this daily word of encouragement build faith in the hearts of those who are reading this so that they can step into new BLESSINGS for their lives, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Psalm 31:19 says,
- How great is the goodness You have STORED UP for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, BLESSING them before the watching world.
When God laid out the plan for your life, he lined up divine appointments and BLESSINGS with your name on them. He’s already destined abundance, health, and wisdom for you, according to the Bible. If you will stay in faith and keep honoring God, one day you will come into what already belongs to you ~ It’s a BLESSING that’s already STORED for you!
This is what happened way back with Adam and Eve ~ In the book of Genesis, chapter 1, it talks about how in the the first five days, God created the light, the waters, the land, the heavens, the earth, the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars. When He finished this, the Scripture says in Genesis 1:26-27 that on the sixth day, God said,
- Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
He then breathes into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living thing (See Genesis 2:7). Then, in verses 9-14, He plants a garden ~ He put beautiful flowers in it; delicious fruit; He designed these rivers to flow through it ~ He put precious treasures in the ground – onyx, gold, and silver. He went to great lengths to make sure it was exactly like He wanted it, down to the smallest detail. When He got finished with it, He put the last touches on this magnificent garden. The Scripture says in Genesis 2:8 that He took Adam, Whom He had just breathed life into, and put him in the garden.
Notice, Adam came into a PREPARED BLESSING; something that God had already finished for him. He didn’t get there and have to work night and day, constantly struggle and think, “How am I every going to survive?” There were fruit trees all around. Crystal streams flowing all around right before him. Provision everywhere he looked! He didn’t have to live worried, thinking, “Well, I’ve got food and water, but how am I going to provide for my family? How am I going to make a living?” There were resources at his disposal ~ Everything he needed to live an abundant life was right there in the garden. God had put it there specifically PREPARED for him.
In the same way, God has BLESSINGS IN STORE for you! He’s working behind the scenes; arranging things in your favor; getting it all perfectly in place, and at the right time, He’s going to bring you into your garden, into what He’s already finished.
You couldn’t make it happen on your own. You didn’t deserve it ~ You didn’t earn it ~ It’s just the goodness of God bringing you into a BLESSING STORED UP FOR YOU! What God has in store for you will boggle your mind! Right now, God is lining up things in your favor and when it’s fully in bloom; when God gets it exactly like He wants it, He’s going to bring you into it! Suddenly, the problem will turn around and you’ll see the breakthrough you need.
Amos 9:13 (MSG) says,
- “Yes, indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s decree. “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once – and everywhere you look, blessings!”
When you come into your garden, it’s going to be bigger, better, and more rewarding then you ever imagined.
So, I exhort you to stay in faith! Keep doing what God’s asking you to do. If you’ll do this, you’ll come into your garden and have favor that you didn’t deserve, good breaks that you didn’t earn, provision, abundance, healing, restoration and the fullness of your destiny, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Walking in the blessing of God,
