Perfect Peace

“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].” — Isaiah 26:3 (AMP) When we stay focused on Yahweh, His goodness and His faithfulness, our peace will be perfect and constant. It will not be moved by external circumstances. “Trust in Yahweh forever, for in Yah—Yahweh Himself—we have an everlasting Rock.” (Isaiah 26:4 LSB) casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. (1 Peter 5:7 AMP) Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.

He Directs Our Steps

“The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” — Psalms 37:23 (NLT) A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], but the LORD directs his steps and establishes them. (Proverbs 16:9 AMP) We have no problem following the GPS to get where we want to go. However, we sometimes hesitate and question the steps Yahweh directs us to take. Know that Yahweh’s plans for you are good, for peace and well-being. May you follow His instructions to get to the glorious destination He has for you. He has not brought you this far to leave you now.  “ 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. ” — Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP)

Seek & Find

Inquire of Yahweh and His strength; Seek His face continually. — 1 Chronicles 16:11 (LSB) The God who created the world and everything in it gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. (See Acts 17:24-25 AMP) …and He made from one man every nation of mankind to inhabit all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; (Acts 17:26-27 LSB) God determined our appointed times to be on the earth and set the boundaries of our dwelling places. We are on the earth for such a time as this. Seek Yahweh while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:6 LSB) You will seek Him and find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. (See Jeremiah 29:13) The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there are any who understand (act wisely), who [truly] seek after God, [lo...

Give Thanks

  Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name; Make known His acts among the peoples. — 1 Chronicles 16:8 (LSB) It is good to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; (Psalms 92:1 LSB)  Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us make a loud shout to Him with songs of praise. (Psalms 95:2 LSB) Praise Yah! Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever. (Psalms 106:1 LSB) Let us receive all that He has so generously given with thanksgiving. O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. (Psalms 30:3-4 NKJV) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. (Psalms 69:30 NKJV)

Bless Our GOD

Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises. Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling. — Psalms 66:8-9 (NLT) When you go through deep waters, He will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. (See Isaiah 43:2 NLT) Even though we go through fire and flood, He will bring us to a place of great abundance. (See Psalms 66:12 NLT) He crowns the year with His goodness, and His paths drip with abundance. …even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. (See Psalms 65:11 NKJV/NLT) Don’t get discouraged and lose heart. Press on and continually praise our mighty God.

Never Give Up

Image
One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. — Luke 18:1 (NLT) “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7 NKJV) Pray without ceasing. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:17 & James 5:16 NASB1995) Keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking. “For the eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears attend to their prayer, but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12 NASB1995)

Be Eager

The LORD gave me another message. He said, “Go and shout this message to Jerusalem. This is what the LORD says: “I remember how eager you were to please me as a young bride long ago, how you loved me and followed me even through the barren wilderness.” — Jeremiah 2:1-2 (NLT) No matter how old or young we may be, let us always be eager to please Yahweh, the Everlasting GOD. Be eager to do what is right. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. (See Psalms 84:11 NLT) Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ (See Mark 12:30 NLT) And continue to follow Him, even in the wilderness, in the deep waters and in the desert. He makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters. He is able to make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (See Isaiah 43:16 & 19 NKJV) Our mighty GOD can turn the barren wilderness into a fruitful field.
