Overflow with Gratitude

Image
Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name. — Psalms 100:3-4 (AMP) God is good and all that He does is good. Every good and perfect comes from Him. May we receive them with a heart full of gratitude and a mouth that continually gives thanks. Colossians 2:6-7 (NASB1995) says, …as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Let us always be grateful that we have received Yeshua and we can walk and live in Him. We gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. (See Romans 8:37 AMP) Whatever we go through, He is with us and we are in it to win.

Live by Faith

Image
Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive fails and the fields produce no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the LORD;
I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation! — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (AMP) When you are down to nothing, know that Yahweh is up to something. When it seems that nothing is working, remember our great and mighty God has already worked everything out concerning you. His lovingkindness never fails. In the face of lack, keep in mind that we serve a God of abundance and overflow (more than enough). Habakkuk 2:4 (AMP) reminds us that the righteous will live by his faith [in the true God]. So no matter how circumstances may appear, believers can choose to rejoice in Yahweh and know that He is faithful to provide for His children. Our joy is not in the provision, but in the Provider.

The Only Way

Image
Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. — John 14:6 (AMP) So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32 NASB) If we want to know real truth, we must follow Yeshua, and continue in His Word. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. Yeshua came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (See John 10:10 AMP)

Passionately Pursue Him

Image
Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who turn to hide themselves in him. Worship in awe and wonder, all you who’ve been made holy! For all who fear him will feast with plenty. Even the strong and the wealthy grow weak and hungry, but those who passionately pursue the Lord will never lack any good thing.  — Psalms 34:8-10 (TPT) Passionately pursue Yahweh. He gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk blamelessly. (See Psalms 84:11) “Even when bad things happen to the good and godly ones, the Lord will save them and not let them be defeated by what they face.” (Psalms 34:19 TPT) “I’m energized every time I enter your heavenly sanctuary to seek more of your power and drink in more of your glory. I overflow with praise when I come before you, for the anointing of your presence satisfies me like nothing else. You are such a rich banquet of pleasure to my soul. With passion I pursue and cling ...

This is the Day

This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) Oh come, let us sing for joy to Yahweh, let us make a loud shout to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us make a loud shout to Him with songs of praise. For Yahweh is a great God and a great King above all gods, (Psalms 95:1-3 LSB) Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before Yahweh our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts… (Psalms 95:6-8 LSB) Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul. — Psalms 143:8 (LSB)

He Goes With You

“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble in dread before them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or abandon you.” — Deuteronomy 31:6 (AMP) Whatever challenges come your way, know that Yahweh, our Heavenly Father is with you. Others may leave you, but our great and mighty God is with you. He will never abandon you. In Isaiah 41:10 (AMP), He says: ‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’  ‘Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You… (See Jeremiah 32:17 LSB).

The Glory of God

Image
“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world…” — Psalms 19:1-4 (NLT) “O Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who displays Your splendor above the heavens! From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established strength because of Your adversaries, to make the enemy and the revengeful cease. When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established; What is man that You remember him, and the son of man that You care for him?” (Psalms 8:1-4 LSB) In all of His glory and splendor, our heavenly Father cares for you. “May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you hi...
