He Knows

“For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” — Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB1995) ABBA Father knows the plans. That is such a powerful and liberating fact. The GOD Most High knows . We do not. We don’t have to waste time and energy trying to figure it out. Nothing that happens on this earth, is a surprise to the LORD God Almighty. He had all our days written in His book before we even drew our first breath. (See Psalms 139:16) Our part is walk faithfully with Him, following Him as the Holy Spirit leads us. We must walk by faith, not by sight. (See 2 Corinthians 5:7) May we have the faith to take the steps as He reveals the way. Faith to run when He says run, faith to walk when He says walk. Faith to move when He says to move and faith to be still when He says: “be still.”  Even when disaster strikes, keep your trust in our mighty GOD. And take refuge in the shadow of His wings until the calamities h...

In The Last Days…

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! — 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NKJV) Take no part in the deeds of darkness and evil. Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness. If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.” (Luke 11:35-36 NLT) For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! (Ephesians 5:8 NLT)

He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. ” — Psalms 116:8 (NLT) I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. — Isaiah 26:3-4 (NKJV) Experience constant peace as you let your thoughts focus on the LORD and His goodness, and mercy. Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. (Colossians 3:15 AMP) Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being that comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life’s circumstances]. The Lord be with you all. (2 Thessalonians 3:16 AMP) Amen.

“The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living.” — Psalms 19:7-8 (NLT) Does your soul need reviving? Do you need insight for living? Do you want your heart to be joyful? Follow the instructions of Yahweh. “They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.” (Psalms 19:11 NLT) Isaiah 26:8 says, we show our trust in the LORD by obeying His laws. May our heart’s desire be to glorify His name.  The foremost of all the commandments is “ ... The LORD our GOD is one LORD; and you shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”  (See Mark 12:29-31 NASB1995)

Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” — Psalms 16:1-2 (NLT) Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17 NASB1995) The LORD alone is our inheritance, our cup of blessing. He guards all that is ours. (See Psalms 16:5 NLT) “I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” (Psalms 16:7-8 NLT) Give thanks to Yahweh! Let all that I am praise the LORD. Praise His holy name, with your whole heart. May we never forget the good things He does for us. He will show you the way of life, granting you the joy of His presence and the pleasures of living with Him forever. (See Psalms 103:1-2 & 16:11)

“then God will establish one of David’s descendants as king. He will rule with mercy and truth. He will always do what is just and be eager to do what is right.” — Isaiah 16:5 (NLT)  “What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever.” (Isaiah 5:20-21 NLT) “Look to God’s instructions and teachings! People who contradict his word are completely in the dark.” (Isaiah 8:20 NLT) May we always be eager to do what is right. The godly will rejoice in the LORD and find shelter in him. And those who do what is right will praise him. (Psalms 64:10 NLT) ...O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: 
to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. — Micah 6:8 (NLT)
