"Intentional Faith & Blessings"

 Reflections4Life™ February 14, 2021

“Intentional Faith & Blessings”
“Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:1-4
Scripture Contemplation: Genesis 15; Psalm 37; Romans 12; 13; Galatians 5; 1 John 3; 4; 5…


Happy Love Day! May the Intentional Love of God fill every corner of your heart, so that you know and never forget, that there is not one day that you are alone, as long as you remember that GOD indeed loves you—heart, mind, and soul.

I decree today’s Reflections will bring comfort and peace to your heart, mind, and soul. May it be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration. Let your heart be filled with hope and joy this week. Hold on to the promises of God. Ponder them in your heart. Let them anchor you as you go through the storms of life.


Things occur that we cannot understand the reasons. Why do certain things happen? Why people do what they do? Why do some things seem more difficult at times, and easier at others? Or, why does it seem like the people who live wickedly, seem undeserving, always get while those who give and love so unconditionally get the short end of the stick?


It can feel that way in the world we live in. Especially if we are comparing ourselves to others. Beloved, what if I told you that God had intentional blessings for your life? That it is not based on how good you are, how much you pray; that all you had to do was believe and receive? Would that be too easy for you to accept? For most, it would.


Listen; God is causing things to take place in our lives that we have no idea about. He is intentional—deliberately causing things to work out in our favor. We just have to hold on and keep believing. Though the wait may seem long, though it may seem we are being passed by or forgotten—put your trust in the Heavenly Father where you cannot trace Him.


In this world, it rains on the just and the unjust alike. It may seem as though the wicked are prevailing. Like they are winning at every turn. But understand this: it is temporal. For us, it is eternal. What God had for us doesn't just apply to the right now and here but for all eternity; intentional blessings that will carry over for generations to come.


Instead of wondering why everyone else seems to be prospering and the wicked are happy, concentrate on your intimate relationship with the Father. Learn of Him, then follow His instructions. While you are waiting for the manifestations of the promises and blessings, be deliberate in your service. Be intentional in your day to day walk. Never cease to believe that you are next in line for your visions to come to pass. For, His promises to you to be fulfilled.


Have intentional faith. Be intentional in what you are believing and praying for. Pray about it. Write it down. Declare and decree it. Get that crazy, no-holds-bar kind of faith. The faith that is so crazy to fathom anything else but what you have decreed happening, to happen. Show God how serious and purposeful you are in your faith.


My Beloveds, may the spirit of peace and prosperity find permanent rest in your lives. I decree that every good thing that God has ordained for your life will become evident to you. Know this: All things are working out for your good when you continue to trust in the Lord and all that He has spoken to your heart and soul. Walk according to His will for you. You are blessed. Now go…and be a blessing!
