A walk with Me extends Me to all the places you walk

I can feel myself positioning — finding a place of peace among the latest events of death, assassination, man against man, absent political will, lack of compassion for man in war, economics, the future. It all seems compressed into one moment for the heart. Is there is no joy in the world? I know that is not true — it's just what I see, what I hear, those that are the loudest.

But I know peace. If I take a moment, take a deep breath, focus my attention with You, then my world takes on a different shape, a different meaning. My positioning then does not become defensive, or even offensive, but settled. I become attuned to the truth of the Spirit — that of wisdom, prosperity, goodness...of peace.

Then I can position myself in awareness: in my work to do as I should, with care for others; in my investments, to remember I have all things in You; in my plans for the future even if unknown fully, that I am fully known and in Your care. My rest, and peace, is in You — and not in what I can do to be at peace beyond just being there.

You have seen how life changes in a moment. Yet some moments are planned in advance, whether you see them as "good" or "bad". All are known to Me, and some were planned by Me, for I do have a plan for your life. You are right to touch the One who maintains all within His hands — you, your circumstances, your future.

Wisdom will seek the specific; but Wisdom will too seek the unknown depths of the heart. The search is for what will elevate the heart into His presence, what moves it, what would touch it, what would enliven it. His presence does all, but He seeks the specific just for you.

What are your desires?

Is there one for peace, for rest, for steadfastness in searching for what would satisfy? I am all those.

Do you position out of fear for what might happen, or for prosperity in Me? I am that.

Would you run from the affairs of men, let men destroy and themselves too? You are their words of salvation, and I am that.

The link in all is Me. And while you know this in heart, the practical can muddle it all. Yet you know the source of clarity and you search for it. Be steadfast in your search for Me. Do not worry for what might come. Let your heart be at peace, even beyond the recent experiences.

If you walk in peace then peace is extended everywhere you walk. The same is true for all things in your life — whether freedom, prosperity, goodness, even your creations. A walk in creativity extends creativity; a walk in goodness reveals goodness; a walk in prosperity gives prosperity; a walk in freedom allows you to provide freedom for others.

You have seen how life changes in a moment. Yet some moments are planned in advance, whether you see them as "good" or "bad". All are known to Me, and some were planned by Me, for I do have a plan for your life. You are right to touch the One who maintains all within His hands — you, your circumstances, your future.

There is a way of walking with God:

It is in belief of His plan that encompasses all moments of life, whether spontaneous or planned.

It is in trust of His power that holds control over our circumstances and future.

“But He knows the way that I take.

For He will complete what He appoints for me,

and many such things are in His mind.”

— Job 24.10,14

Wisdom will seek the specific; but Wisdom will too seek the unknown depths of the heart. The search is for what will elevate the heart into His presence, what moves it, what would touch it, what would enliven it. His presence does all, but He seeks the specific just for you.

What are your desires?

Wisdom, as God describes above, has a dual pursuit:

He longs for the particular—those unique desires and stirrings within—while also diving into the vast, uncharted waters of your heart.

His is a call to know yourself while surrendering to the mystery of connecting with Him, where His presence meets you exactly where you are.

"But where shall Wisdom be found?

And where is the place of understanding?

Man does not know its worth, and it is not found in the land of the living.

The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’ and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’

From where, then, does Wisdom come?

And where is the place of understanding?

God understands the way to it, and He knows its place.”

— Job 28.12-14, 20-23

What are your desires?

Is there one for peace, for rest, for steadfastness in searching for what would satisfy? I am all those.

Do you position out of fear for what might happen, or for prosperity in Me? I am that.

The link in all is Me. And while you know this in heart, the practical can muddle it all. Yet you know the source of clarity and you search for it. Be steadfast in your search for Me. Do not worry for what might come.

Do not let fear drive your choices. Rather, step back from fear — question your motives for avoiding life's challenges by seeking clarity in God. This alignment with Him allows for peace and rest to come despite the world's confusion.

There is a responsibility to engage with the world — not to withdraw — but to offer wisdom, compassion, and guidance to others.

Clarity will emerge from a persistent search for Him.

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'"

— Isaiah 30.21

Let your heart be at peace, even beyond the recent experiences.

If you walk in peace then peace is extended everywhere you walk. The same is true for all things in your life — whether freedom, prosperity, goodness, even your creations. A walk in creativity extends creativity; a walk in goodness reveals goodness; a walk in prosperity gives prosperity; a walk in freedom allows you to provide freedom for others.

God is saying He has chosen His heart — His deepest intentions, emotions, and being — to be revealed "through us to us". We are both the medium and the message of His heart. If we believe this, then our choices — how we love, create goodness, seek justice — become actions of His expression.

Still, despite our sincere intention, in lack of awareness we will often fall short of reflecting His heart fully. Therefore, a continual walk with Him will allow us to become ever more transparent.

Because we — of all of His creations — are uniquely capable of embodying His qualities of love, compassion, and creativity.
