I feel my purpose today is not to give you some formula for instant anointing or blessing. I want to challenge you to grow yourself in God in a fresh way and in a greater direction. If we do that blessings will become a given. In the Old Testament God said they would chase you down and overtake you.
"And all these blessings shall come on you and overtake you, if you will listen to the voice of Jehovah your God." Deuteronomy 28:2 MKJV
The writer then goes on to explain those blessings.

When it comes to life I am a firm believer in planning, meting goals, talking about needed changes and making them, financial planning and preparing. I have a saying on file that explains the truth about the importance of planning. Poor Preparation is the Perfect Path to Panic!

In the same sense, if we want God involved in our daily life we will have to prepare the of the Lord.
Isaiah prophesied that john was coming and he said that John would cry out to all people with a command, "In the desert prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God." Isaiah 40:3 NIV
Matthew, Mark and Luke tell of this event. Mark simply copied the writings of Isaiah into the Greek language and said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight." Mark 1:3 KJV
If you look closely at the words he uses he says the way we prepare is make his path straight.
The word "way" translates to "road".
The word "path" translated to "a worn rut or path".
The word "straight" translated to "level".

Simply put we are to prepare a road for the Lord into our lives, created a path that is easy to see and make it level or easy to walk on. Prepare God a way to easily walk through our life. Make plans for God to easily touch our lives.
If we do that, if we make it easy for God to be involved in every aspect of our lives then we leave little room for panic.

God bless you today, go make a way for God to easily walk through your day.
