Chapter Six- Sobriety and Meditation

 The Call to Obedience and Waiting on God


In fulfilling destiny, once you have obeyed and set out, you are on a journey—and on this path, you will be faced with options. In the call of a man, he often sees the beginning, sometimes the end, but rarely the whole picture. God does not always reveal everything at once. There are seasons when He is silent. He does not speak, He does not respond, yet His eyes are steadily upon you, unwavering and watchful.



Exodus 33:13–15 (AMP)

“Now therefore, I pray you, if I have found favor in your sight, show me now your way, that I may know you [progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with you, perceiving clearly] and that I may find favor in your sight. And (Lord, do) consider that this nation is your people. And the Lord said, ‘My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Then Moses said to the Lord, ‘If Your presence does not go with us, do not carry us up from here.’”




The Lord, grieved by Israel’s stubbornness, called them a stiff-necked people. He told Moses He would not go with them lest He consume them in His wrath. The Lord (liberator of Israel) reckoned on Moses to lead the people, stating he (God) would not go with them else he would slay them due to their stubbornness. Instead, He promised to send an angel to guard them. This left Moses in a place of dilemma and deep intercession. Entering the tabernacle, Moses sought God’s mercy and favor. Having obtained it for himself and the nation, he pressed further: he sought the glory of God.

Affirmations

Image
  I am enough . I am worthy of love . I am capable of being whatever I want to be. I am confident . I am intelligent. I am potent. I am successful. I am enlightened. I am tough. I am wise. I am everything. Sometimes, we are filled with fear—fear of not being good enough to handle something, fear of being rejected, fear of not being accepted. But grounding yourself in the reality of your sufficiency is “ I am .” Dependable, trustworthy, faithful, powerful, and competent—yes, you are. I believe in you, that you have what it takes to become everything you are meant to be. I believe in your potential. I believe in your future. You are. Release your fears. Close your eyes and see yourself letting go of every fear. I forgive myself. Sometimes in life, we are full of regret and guilt. This disrupts our inner peace and confidence. There’s that one time we have all made wrong choices. Whether moments later or many years ahead, we tend to revisit those scenarios and wish we ha...

QUOTES (PHASE 2)

  Vulnerability is a demonstration of Quiet Strength .  It is withholding the power to flee, to hide, to question, to doubt, to judge, to condemn— and allowing oneself to bleed. To bleed fear, to bleed the looming threat of rejection,  failure, and scorn. Vulnerability is where faith thrives. We all know faith is a mustard seed, right? This art inspires the idea that some doors—so imposing, so invincible, so inconceivable,  so fortified—require a soft touch, a gentle penetration, a fragile ego… and then comes  the creaking, even the unlocking of that door. We grow in life as we move from one stage to another. And as we grow, we must  discard certain sandals. It takes vulnerability to let go of the old in search of the new,  knowing fully well that one’s bare feet may be exposed to danger. It takes vulnerability to hope, and to trust the process. It takes vulnerability to wait for  certain seasons to pass so that others may be embraced. It takes vu...
