The Right Path

Image
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) 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) He renews our strength. He guides us along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (See Psalms 23:3) May we be humble and teachable. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. (Proverbs 3:5-7) The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” — Psalms 32:8 (NLT)

Trust and Hope in the LORD

Image
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NKJV) No matter what season of life you are going through, keep trusting in Yahweh. And keep your hope in Him alive. People may fail you, but our God is faithful and His love never fails. We can always rely on Yahweh to be with us and to deliver us out of all our troubles.

Seek God's Help

Image
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. — Psalm 60:11-12 (NLT) Behold, God is my helper and ally; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder]. (Psalms 54:4 AMP) In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the LORD and cried to my God for help; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears. (Psalms 18:6 AMP) Call upon the name of Yahweh. He is a very present help in trouble. How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in Yahweh his God, (Psalms 146:5 LSB). Through God we shall do valiantly, and it is He who will tread down our adversaries. (Psalms 60:12 LSB) ...thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57)

Enjoy Life

Image
“And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.” — Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 (NLT) Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. (1 Timothy 6:17 NKJV) Instead of brooding over the past, take the steps today that are headed in the direction of where you want to be tomorrow. However, the reality is you have no idea where your life will take you tomorrow. You are like a mist that appears one moment and then vanishes another. (See James 4:14 VOICE) But those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead! (Isaiah 26:19 ...

Not of this World

Image
“You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.” — James 4:4-5 (NLT) Do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs… (See Romans 12:2 AMP) We are in this world but we are not to be of the world. (See John 17:16-18) Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. (See John 1:11 LSB) Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, (Ephesians 5:1). Be faithful to Yahweh and worship only Him. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world [wealth, fame, success], but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26 AMP) “ Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hear...

He is With You

Image
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be in dread or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 (LSB) But now, thus says Yahweh, your Creator, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.” (Isaiah 43:1-2 LSB) Wherever you go today, remember Yahweh is with you. He is the great “I AM,” Creator of heaven and earth, the God Most High, above everything and everyone. No need to be afraid or dismayed. “The LORD your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.”   — Zephaniah 3:17 (NASB1995)

Choose Life

“So now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God ask from you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of Yahweh and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?” — Deuteronomy 10:12-13 (LSB) “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you today; and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, by walking after other gods which you have not known.” (Deuteronomy 11:26-28 LSB)  …the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. (See Deuteronomy 30:14) I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your...
