MISUNDERSTANDING
Misunderstanding, accusation, suspicion
are difficult to endure.  We each see from
our own perspective and interpret one
another's actions according to our own
limited view.  Teach us, Lord, to believe
the best while not quenching the Spirit's
discernment.  How do we keep balance in
the middle of confusion?
      What you call confusion can be My Spirit breaking through the status quo and breathing

life where only death and religion have entered before.  I am a God on the move, and I am not

stagnant.  It is true that I never change, but it is just as true that I forever change those whom I

redeem and situations where I intervene.  That change can hurt and be uncomfortable, but it

will bear the marks of peace and order and reasonableness.

      I am a practical God, not practical in the sense people think of when they live by their

senses and only believe what they see, but practical in the way I deal with my people and

address what needs to be addressed.  Don't think that My ways are always beyond your grasp.

It is true that they are higher and different than your natural tendencies, but I have created you

to be a vessel of My Spirit and have equipped you to know both Me and My ways.  I do not

hide from My friends what I do, but I tell them and instruct them in the way they should go and

what I desire.

      Do not be surprised when people chafe and misinterpret and misunderstand.  No one

hears My voice clearly at all times due usually to their own agendas and desires.  Always be

open to My instruction as you walk through an experience; I may correct your view as you go.

Be humble and realize I may not be done showing you My heart in this yet, but expect that I will,

and ask Me to guide you daily.  Walk in love and patience, and do not shrink from the words or

actions of others.  Do not hold it to their account--put it on Mine.  I am teaching them, too.

      Do not think that I have forgotten My plan and purpose and will for your life.  I am still

bringing it to perfection, and My timing is perfect.  Hold fast to your hope, and remember My

promises, especially those I have spoken to your own heart.  I keep My word.  Praise Me even

when you don't feel like it.  Keep praying.  You and your children can and will inherit the land.
