Continually with You

Image
“Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” — Psalms 73:23-26 (NKJV) I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. (Psalms 139:7-10 NLT) Yahweh is our hiding place; He will protect you from trouble. He will surround you with songs of victory. Interlude The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. (See Psalms 32:7-8) May our greatest desire be for the Presence of our Heavenly Father.  But it is good f...

Peace at ALL Times

Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being tha t comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life’s circumstances]. The Lord be with you all. — 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (AMP) In spite of the tribulation going on in the world, children of God can have perfect peace. Yahweh will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him, because he trusts in Him. (See Isaiah 26:3 NKJV) Walk closely with Yahweh. “Trust [confidently] in the LORD forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner], for the LORD God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].” (Isaiah 26:4 AMP) Yahweh will give strength to His people; Yahweh will bless His people with peace. (Psalms 29:11 LSB) 

Remain in His Teaching

Image
 “Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.” — 2 John 1:9 (NLT) Remain in the teaching of Christ and “…guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge” —which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen. (See 1 Timothy 6:20-21 NASB1995) May we be like Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what He taught. (See Luke 10:39) And be sure to also put it into practice. In Luke 11:28 (NLT) Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”

God of Restoration

Image
“Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God? You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth. You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again.” — Psalms 71:19-21 (NLT) No matter what hardships come, remember Yahweh is a God of restoration.  …You, O Yahweh, are a shield about me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head. (Psalms 3:3 LSB) I will exalt You, O Yahweh, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my enemies be glad over me. (Psalms 30:1 LSB)  O God, restore us and cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. (Psalms 80:3  NASB1995)  He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. — Psalms 23:3 (AMP)

Do Not Judge

Image
“Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. — Matthew 7:1 (AMP) May we not criticize each other, nor compare ourselves with others, nor compete against them. We are to love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. (See Romans 12:10 NLT) For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26-28 NLT)  Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.  (Romans 14:19 NKJV) So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT)

Meditate & Obey

Image
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. — Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) In order to have good success we need to meditate in the Word of God and obey what is written in it. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit (See Ephesians 6:17), our weapon against the enemy. In order to use it effectively, let us meditate in it, treasure it in our hearts, that we may not sin against Yahweh. (See Psalms 119:11) Joshua instructed the Israelites: “So be very careful to follow everything Moses wrote in the Book of Instruction. Do not deviate from it, turning either to the right or to the left. Rather, cling tightly to the LORD your God as you have done until now.” (Joshua 23:6, 8 NLT) Let us not deviate from the Holy Scriptures, nor the will of God. No compromise with the world or the devil. Cling to Yahw...

Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him.” — Psalms 68:1, 3-4 (NKJV) “Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him. Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.” (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭LSB‬‬) “I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart; I will recount all Your wondrous deeds.
