The Father Says Today: August 18th, 2018

The Father says today, we have changed things, haven’t we? You wonder at times whether or not you are in My perfect plan beloved but know this: It is more critical for you to be in My presence than to be in My will. You make decisions every day that often fall outside the parameters of My highest and best choice for you. Nonetheless, My Spirit lingers with you to guide and to encourage you back onto the higher path that leads to greatest blessing. There are those who insist that My hand stands poised to smite those who divert in the slightest from what I have planned, but that is not My will and not My way. I will bless what you put your hand to, and I will give you every place where you put your foot. Just remember that before you commit to your next course of action.
My voice will always be the voice that says “this is the way – walk you in it…” If you stumble or fall, I will be there to pick you up. If you egregiously fail, I will chasten you in My lovingkindness. If you refuse and rebel, the consequences are then of your own making. Even in that situation, I will be with you as I said in My word, though you make your bed in hell I am there. As David learned that lesson, I would that you likewise know when I said I would never leave you nor forsake you, I meant it. I am here. Talk to Me. Make known to Me your complaint. Tell Me what you really think, not what you think I want to hear. An honest and a contrite heart I will in no way despise or turn away from. I am working to turn you by My goodness, for all My wrath was poured out upon Jesus on the cross 2000 years ago. You are not a child of wrath but a son under My guiding, guarding and chastening hand. Trust Me for the day and listen again I say, to My still, small voice.
