God of Restoration

Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. — Psalms 90:14-15 (NLT) Yahweh is a God of restoration. He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. (Psalms 23:3 AMP) He will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust… You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And His people shall never be put to shame. (See Joel 2:25-26 NKJV) In Hosea 2:15, the LORD says He will transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. He will turn our mourning into joyful dancing. He will take away our clothes of mourning and clothe us with joy, that we might sing praises to Him and not be silent. O LORD our God, we will give you thanks forever! ...

“I call to you, to all of you! I raise my voice to all people. Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you. Everything I say is right, for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception.” — Proverbs 8:1, 6-7 (NLT) Wisdom says to all people: “Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it. (Proverbs 8:10-11 NLT) I love those who love me; And those who seek me early and diligently will find me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (right standing with God). (Proverbs 8:17-18 AMP) Listen to my instruction and be wise. Don’t ignore it. Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.

Watch Your Words

Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. — Colossians 4:6 (NLT) Let us speak good and encouraging words to others and in our self-talk. For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.” (1 Peter 3:10 NLT) Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a good word makes it glad. (Proverbs 12:25 NASB1995) Proverbs 12:14a, says: A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words. And Proverbs 12:18b says, the tongue of the wise brings healing. To speak good, true, and encouraging words, speak the Word of God, for He has magnified His word above all His name. (See Psalms 138:2 NKJV) And the word of the LORD endures forever. (See 1 Peter 1:25) Amen. Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. — Proverbs 18:21 (MSG)

Remember God

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God! Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you… — Psalm 42:5-6 (NLT) Remember Yahweh. Each and every day He pours His unfailing love upon us. Through each night, let us sing His songs and pray to Almighty God who gives us life. (See Psalm 42:8) See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! (See 1 John 3:1 NLT) Don’t be discouraged, for the LORD our God is living among us. 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. (See Zephaniah 3:17 NLT) He is a victorious warrior. In the world we will have tribulation, but take courage, because Jesus has overcome the world. (See John 16:33) Because He overcame, we too shall overcome. With God all things are possible. Amen.

Dwell in His House

I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the house of the LORD.” — Psalm 122:1 (NASB) Your strong love, O True God, is precious. All people run for shelter under the shadow of Your wings. In Your house, they eat and are full at Your table. They drink from the river of Your overflowing kindness. You have the fountain of life that quenches our thirst. Your light has opened our eyes and awakened our souls. (Psalm 36:7-9 VOICE) Surely the LORD grants you unending blessings and makes you glad with the joy of His presence. (See Psalm 21:6 NIV) Dwell in the house of the LORD forever and His goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. (See Psalm 23:6)

Never Abandoned

Image
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. — 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT) No matter what you are going through, do not despair. Because we have the Holy Spirit residing in us, the same power that raised Jesus from the grave, enables us to overcome every challenge. He gives us strength in every struggle. We can triumph over all our troubles, because Jesus has already gained the victory for us. “ No man will [be able to] stand before you [to oppose you] as long as you live. Just as I was [present] with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you or abandon you. ” — Joshua 1:5 (AMP)
