Milestone Moment
The Spirit of the Lord says:
Just as a man runs a race set before him, there are half-way milestones that refresh and bring cheer to help you continue to go through the next mile. So too in this season, remember that this is a marathon not a sprint. We are hitting a milestone moment of refreshing and cheering that will bolster your ability to continue forward and not relent.
Just as a marathon has refreshing stations, I am calling you into my refreshing station, for it is time to see new definitions of rest. Many see rest as simply a slumber, but I say it’s a time of refreshing. Just as a runner will pause momentarily to get water, I too am asking you to refresh with living water and then get on your way. This season will be tiring and trying (James 1:2-4) and you will feel a desire to partner with the apathy in the air. Yet I say today, slow and steady wins the race set before you.
You must earnestly pursue this season and allow Me to refresh you. Do not sprint or shortcut your way out of this season. Instead, learn what it means to enjoy the milestone moments. Enjoy the pit stops throughout the race.
Activation:
Ask God what brings refreshment to your soul and spirit? Ask God how you can partner with Him in this refreshment and what does it look like to rest temporarily at each Milestone Moment?
James 1:2-4 (NIV)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Hebrews 12:1-3 (NIV)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
