Walk in His Presence

Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth! — Psalms 116:7-9 (NLT) Psalms 139:7-10 (NLT) says: “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.” May we be mindful of the LORD’s Presence. His nearness is for our good. He leads us and guides us along on the path of life. He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus the Christ. (See 1 Corinthians 15:57) His Presence gives us strength, comfort, and confidence.  What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. — Psalms 116:12-13 (NKJV)

Listen & Learn

…Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:40-42 (NLT) Don’t let the cares and events of this world keep you busy and distracted from the primary thing worth pursuing, time with King Yeshua, the Living Word. Be like Mary and sit at the Lord’s feet, listening to His teaching. (See Luke 10:39 NLT) Jesus said: “...one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:42 NKJV) Make a dedicated decision, every day, to choose that “good part.”

Good Soil

“The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face temptation. The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.” — Luke 8:13-14 (NLT) Don’t let the cares and pleasures of this life, nor the desire for riches choke the living Word out of you. May we receive the seed, which is God’s word (See Luke 8:11), on good, fertile soil. “…the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.” (Luke 8:15 NLT)

“I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!” — Psalms 116:1-2 (NLT) How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! (Psalms 116:5 NLT) This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:21-23 NKJV) All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.  The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. (Psalms 145:18 NKJV) Call upon Him today. He hears your voice and is faithful to answer.

Stay Alert!

“When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.” — Luke 4:13 (NASB1995) Remember, we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (See Ephesians 6:12) Our adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. He is always looking for an opportune time to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Stay alert!  (See 1 Peter 5:8 & John 10:10) When confronted with the lies of the enemy, follow the example of King Yeshua in Luke 4:4, 4:8 & 4:12, and speak what is written in the Holy Scriptures.

Praise the LORD Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its going down the LORD’s name is to be praised. — Psalms 113:1-3 (NKJV) The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. (Psalms 113:4) Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails. (Psalms 111:3 NLT) Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield. (Psalms 115:1, 11 NLT) May the LORD richly bless both you and your children. (Psalms 115:14 NLT)

Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. — Psalms 34:12-14 (NLT) May we bind the deeds of darkness (See Matthew 8:18) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. (Proverbs 18:21 AMP) Speak words of life to build up versus beat down. Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. (Psalms 37:3 NASB1995)
