What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. ”  (Matthew 6:31-32 NLT) But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. (Matthew 6:33 AMP) “Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

This is what the LORD says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD.” — Jeremiah 17:5 (NLT) “But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8 NLT) Set your affections on Yahweh. And keep your hope and your confidence in Him. ...our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers. (See 1 Timothy 4:10) I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. (Ephesians 3:16:17 NLT)

“Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless. With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.” — Psalms 60:11-12 (NLT) God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! Interlude (Psalms 46:1-3 NLT) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. (See Romans 8:37 AMP) …thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us spreads and makes evident everywhere the sweet fragrance of the knowledge of Him. (2 Corinthians 2:14 AMP) Where he leads, let us be sure to follow.

This is what the LORD says: “Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the LORD who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the LORD, have spoken!” — Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NLT) “Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the LORD our God.” (Psalms 20:7 NLT) “Our help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” (Psalms 124:8 NLT) We can do nothing apart from Him. As the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the LORD.” (2 Corinthians 10:17 NLT) So let is press on to know the LORD. (See Hosea 6:3) “My soul will make its boast in Yahweh; The humble will hear it and rejoice. O magnify Yahweh with me, and let us exalt His name together.” — Psalms 34:2-3 (LSB)

“Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.” — Psalms 25:4-5 (NLT)  “...blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. ”  (Jeremiah 17:7 NLT) “The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.” (Psalms 25:8-10 NLT) And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. (Psalms 39:7 NLT) Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. (Psalms 33:22 NLT)

“This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalms 118:24 (NLT) Each and every day that Yahweh wakes us up, we have a good reason to rejoice. “We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.” (Psalms 33:20-21 NLT) Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart. (Psalms 32:11 NASB1995) …“Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” (Nehemiah 8:10 NLT)   “Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life . Let your joy overflow!”  — Philippians 4:4 (TPT)
