He Guides

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.” — Psalms 32:8-9 (NLT) Psalms 23:3 (NASB1995) says, He guides us in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. And His Spirit will guide us into all truth. (See John 16:13)  Wherever Yahweh directs us to go, we can be certain that it is the best pathway for our lives. In Jeremiahs 29:11 He says: “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Only He knows the plans, let us be obedient and follow the plan as He reveals it to us. The Father knows best. Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. With Your counsel You will guide me, and afterward receive me to glory. — Psalms 73:23-24 (NASB1995)

All Things Possible

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. — Psalms 30:11-12 (AMP) Yahweh turns situations and circumstances around. He turns our mourning into dancing. In Exodus 15:23-25, the LORD made the bitter waters sweet, providing water for His people to drink. In 2 Samuel 22:29 (NLT), He is our lamp, Who lights up our darkness. God can cause you to be fruitful and very successful in the land of your suffering and affliction. (See Genesis 41:52) The Father raises the dead and gives life to them. (See John 5:21) “...With God all things are possible.” (See Mark 10:27) Let us praise Him and give thanks to Him forever.

Rejoice & Be Glad

This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) “Do not be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.” (See Nehemiah 8:10 LSB) In 2 Corinthians 7:4 (AMP), the Apostle Paul says: “I am overflowing with joy in spite of all our trouble.” We can choose joy in all circumstances, knowing that our heavenly Father is working for our good. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning. (Psalms 30:5 NASB1995) 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.

"Don't Give Up!"

“Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope.

(James 1:12 NLT) For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18 NKJV) No need to be impatient. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NASB1995) says: There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will...

Set Your Mind

Image
But turning around [with His back to Peter] and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan; for your mind is not set on God’s will or His values and purposes, but on what pleases man.” — Mark 8:33 (AMP) May we set our mind on the things of God and seek to please our Heavenly Father instead of man. Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. (Colossians 3:2 AMP) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8:5-6 NKJV)
