Meditation Thought: “So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.” (Acts 19:20)
“The Word grew and prevailed mightily through Paul’s example, through his teaching, and through his ministry – through the power and control of the Holy Spirit. This pattern is precisely the same pattern Jesus has given to you through the Word.
Use the pattern through your faith in Jesus as Lord, as Savior as Spirit living in your spirit, your mind and your body. You have been successful in accomplishing tasks which were unappealing by knowing you were doing them for Jesus dwelling within you in addition to them being for your own benefit. Expand this concept.
Try to respond more quickly as I seek to teach you. You need not feel pressured: just be more content to seek My counsel and to follow it, knowing that I give you more refreshing energy than anything provided by the world.
Do not seek what others seek – seek the kingdom within you. There are depths of Truth, Joy and Fulfillment which you can never exhaust in your lifetime. Dig deeply, dig enthusiastically – for the treasure is within you. You know you uncover treasure every time you spend your energy to look for it. Do not be distracted.
Develop a mind-set and a heart-set that enables you to be digging for treasure every moment, even when you are at the same time doing other tasks. Let these thoughts inspire you to use your moments and your energy to follow the pattern of the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Do not fear: I have called you in love, and sustain you in love, and am your partner in love. I need your thoughts directed to My Word, your emotions embracing My will, and your actions doing My works. But you need these very things as much as I!
