Daily Devotional – 5/16/14 “It is done!”

It’s Friday May 16th and for some reason when I started to write the devotional for today all I keep hearing is it is done. See, if you look at the date for today, 1+6=7 which biblically, seven is the number of completion. Now, I said that to say this; whatever it is you’re toiling with, it’s is done. Whatever prayer you’re praying, it is done. Whatever you’re crying over, it is done. Whatever you’re undecided about, it is done. Whatever broke your heart, it is done. Whatever had you afraid, it is done. All you have to do now is trust in God. I know you probably don’t want to let go, you’re afraid to fall, too scared to take a breath, too fearful to open your eyes or even terrified to open your heart again but God said it is done. I don’t know what you are dealing with beloved but I am simply relaying the message, God said it is done. Maybe its death that’s looming around your house, maybe sickness has invaded your personal space, maybe hurt has found its way into your spirit; whatever it is let it go because whatever hurt, pain, confusion or fear that has a hold of you is done, today! Maybe it’s the uncertainty of something that kept you up last night, maybe it’s an offer that you’ve been given or a call you received and it’s still weighing heavy on you but if you’ve consulted God about it, He says; it is done. You don’t have to take my word for it but take God at His because it says in Psalm 12:6, “The LORD’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.”

When the Jericho wall came down, Joshua 6:4-5 says, “Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
