Seek Him

Image
O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You;
 My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NKJV) Seek Him early and often. Seek Him urgently, with every fiber of your being. Yahweh is the only One Who can satisfy. He opens His hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. (See Psalms 145:16-17 NASB1995) And Yahweh will continually guide you, and satisfy your soul in scorched places, and fortify your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. (Isaiah 58:11 LSB) May His glorious name be praised! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. — Psalms 63:4-5 (NLT)

He Calms Our Fears

“For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” — Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT) …God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV) And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. (1 John 4:17-18 NLT) Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’ Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” — Isaiah 12:2-3 (NKJV)

Satisfied?

“Has a nation [ever] changed gods even though they were not gods [but merely man-made objects]? But My people have exchanged their Glory (the true God) for that [man-made idol] which does not benefit [them]. — Jeremiah 2:11 (AMP) “Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance. (Isaiah 55:2 NASB1995) O taste and see that Yahweh is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! (Psalms 34:8 LSB) The things of this world can never bring lasting satisfaction, only temporary thrills, then you are left empty and aching. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? (Mark 8:36 LSB) When Yahweh opens His generous hand, it’s full of blessings, satisfying the longings of every living thing. (See Psalms 145:16 TPT) “Yahweh will always guide you where to go and what to do. He will fill you with refreshment even when you are in a dry, diffi...

Be Faithful

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. — Revelation 2:10 (NASB1995) Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; (1 Peter 4:12) Who would have ever thought we would live to see someone be arrested for reading the Word of God? May we be faithful to the point of death. ...as for you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary of doing good. (2 Thessalonians 3:13) In Revelation 2:23, the Son of God says this: “…I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.” “He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] will accordingly be dressed in white clothing; and I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life,...

He Calms All Fears

For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. — Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT) The Amplified Bible says: “He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins]…” Let the perfect love of God, calm all your fears. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV) There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love. (1 John 4:18 CSB) But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever. (Psalm 52:8 AMP) How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 36:7 NLT)

Find Strength

Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle-deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in Yahweh our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory! — Psalm 20:7 (TPT) How enriched are they who find their strength in the Lord; within their hearts are the highways of holiness! Even when their paths wind through the dark valley of tears, they dig deep to find a pleasant pool where others find only pain. He gives to them a brook of blessing filled from the rain of an outpouring. They grow stronger and stronger with every step forward, and the God of all gods will appear before them in Zion. (Psalm 84:5-7 TPT) Find your strength in the Lord and keep going forward, taking each step in faith.
