His Lovingkindness

Image
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. — Psalms 36:7-9 (NASB1995) Your lovingkindness and graciousness, O LORD, extend to the skies, Your faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds. (Psalms 36:5 AMP) O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart. (Psalms 36:10 NASB1995) It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night, (Psalms 92:1-2 NKJV) Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. (Psalms 63:3 NASB1995) The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me— a prayer to the God of my life. — Psalms 42:...

Greater Attention

Image
“ What’s the price of a pet canary? Some loose change, right? And God cares what happens to it even more than you do. He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! ” — Matthew 10:29-30 (MSG) Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me. (Psalm 139:17-18 TPT) May we give God greater attention. Let us pay more attention to our Mighty God than to our cell phones, our social media posts or our favorite sports team. Give greater attention to the One we celebrate, than to the activities and events themselves. Be intentional in your thoughts of our heavenly Father and Christ our Savior. Cherish Him constantly.

Take Refuge

Image
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. — Psalm 36:7-9 (NASB) Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 63:7 NLT) You’ve always given me breathing room, a place to get away from it all, a lifetime pass to your safe-house, an open invitation as your guest. (Psalm 61:3-4 MSG) We have an open invitation to abide in the shadow of His wings, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! — Psalm 34:8  (NASB)

Drink from the Fountain of Life

Image
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) Let His strong love awaken your soul, and follow His light as He shows you the way. Come to God with an open heart and He will fill it to overflowing. We drink our fill with the abundance of His house; He allows us to freely drink from the river of His delights. There is no lack in His house. We may come with dry, empty cups, but once we drink of His Living Water our souls are satisfied. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. — Psalm 23:5-6 (...

In the Shadow of His Wings

Image
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light. — Psalm 36:7-9 (NKJV) Be captivated by the unfailing love the LORD has for us. What a privilege and a pleasure to have the precious love of God bestowed upon us! To abide in the shadow of His wings we have to draw close to our heavenly Father. In the shadow of His wings, we have plenty of provision, for there is no lack. We also find perfect peace and protection from the enemy, as we dwell in the shadow of His wings. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. (Psalm 57:1 NKJV) Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will...

Everlasting Love

Image
The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you. — Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) God loves us with an everlasting love. What great love the Father has lavished on us! His love never fails, nor falls short. In love, He created us, and continually cares for us. His love is not based on our performance. He loves us because that is who He is. God is love (1 John 4:8). He draws us closer to Him with lovingkindness. He sacrificed His only Son to restore us back into relationship with Him. How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 36:7 NLT) Open your heart to receive His love and walk in it every moment of the day. Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the LORD. (Psalm 23:6 AMP)

Build with Wisdom

Image
With wisdom a house is built. With understanding it is established. With knowledge its rooms are filled with every kind of riches, both precious and pleasant. — Proverbs 24:3-4 (GW) This is what the Almighty LORD says: I am going to lay a rock in Zion, a rock that has been tested, a precious cornerstone, a solid foundation. Whoever believes in him will not worry. ( Isaiah 28:16 GW). When a home, a life, or a family is built, on Christ, the Chief Cornerstone, it will never be shaken. It will endure the storms and last through all types of seasons and weather patterns. Jesus said, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24 NASB) As we gain understanding of God’s Word and put it into action, we become more like Him, and our rooms are filled with the priceless and precious treasures of His Presence, His love and His peace. And the pleasant aroma of joy permeates each room.

Precious is His Unfailing Love

Image
How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. — Psalm 36:7-9 (NLT) The unfailing love of God is to be highly treasured and greatly appreciated. Let us never take it for granted. Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds (Psalm 36:5). All of humanity can take shelter in the shadow of His wings. God is no respecter of persons. Each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon us. (Psalm 42:8). Drink from His river of delights, for He is the fountain of life, and out of your heart will flow rivers of living water.

Abundantly Satisfied

Image
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. — Psalm 36:7-8 (NKJV) The LORD has loved you with an everlasting love; He has drawn you with lovingkindness. (Jeremiah 31:3) His lovingkindness is better than life (Psalm 63:3) Make your refuge, in the shadow of His wings. Declare His lovingkindness in the morning, and His faithfulness every night. (Psalm 92:2). And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19 AMP) You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. (Psalm 23:5 NLT)

Never Forgotten

Image
“Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!”  — Isaiah 49:15 (NLT) The enemy wants us to believe that God has forgotten about us, but the truth is He does not forget us for one second. So precious are His thoughts about us, they cannot be numbered! (Psalm 139:17 NLT). The very hairs on your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30 NLT). John 10:3 says, the Good Shepherd, calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. He knows your name my friend, and He cares about you! You are never forgotten. You are always on His mind and in His heart.

God is On Your Side!

Image
You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. — Psalm 56:8 (NLT) Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; (Isaiah 53:4 NKJV). How precious are His thoughts about you. They cannot be numbered! (Psalm 139:17). He turns our sorrow to joy, and our mourning to dancing. Your enemies will retreat when you call to Him for help. Know this: God is on your side! (Psalm 56:9 NLT)

He's Thinking about You!

Image
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. — Psalm 139:17-18 (NKJV) God's thoughts about you outnumber the grains of sand on the beach. Wow! That is an overwhelming thought. God cares what happens to you even more than you do. He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! (Matthew 10:30 MSG). He knows when you sit down and when you rise (Psalm 139:2). He knows what you are going to say before you speak a word (Psalm 139:4). The LORD has examined our hearts and He knows everything about us (Psalm 139:1). He knows us better than we know ourselves, yet He says, nothing can ever separate us from His amazing love (Romans 8:38-39). God’s loyal love will not run out nor dry up, because His mercies begin afresh every morning (Lamentations 3:23). Hallelujah!

He is Mindful of You

Image
The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great. — Psalm 115:12-13  (NKJV) The LORD has you on His mind. Thoughts of you continually invade the mind of God. Psalm 40:5 says, His thoughts toward us are more than can be numbered. Psalm 139:17 says, how precious also are His thoughts to us, O God! How great is the sum of them! Likewise, let us continually be mindful of our heavenly Father. God shows personal favoritism to no man (Galatians 2:6). He loves each and every one of us and is working for our good. So whether you think you’re small and insignificant or think you are great, if you fear the LORD, abundant blessings are coming your way!

Under the Shadow of His Wings

Image
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. — Psalm 36:7,9 (NKJV) In order to see the fireworks that were displayed last night, we had to stand in just the right spot. Likewise, we need to stand in the light of the LORD and He will open our eyes to see the light. We can only put our trust in Abba Father when we get close enough to dwell in the shadow of His wings. Draw near to our great God and He will draw near to you! He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings (Psalm 91:4 NLT).

Who's on 1st?

Image
And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent]. — Colossians 1:17-18 (AMP) In Jesus, all things are held together. Have you ever noticed how your life tends to fall apart when you leave Jesus on the sidelines? Everything in our lives should sit in the shadow of our great and awesome God. Keep Jesus at the center of your life and let everything else revolve around Him. Let Him occupy the first and most precious place in your heart, and every corner and crevice thereafter. Just as Jesus gave us open access to the throne room of God, we should also give Him FULL ACCESS to our hearts, our minds and our lives!

Abundant Loving-Kindness and Truth

And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord! the Lord! a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness and truth, — Exodus 34:6 (AMP)  How good and precious is the lovingkindness of the Lord! (Psalm 36:7, 69:16) He crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies (Psalm 103:4). Because God’s lovingkindness is better than life, may our lips praise Him! (Psalm 63:3) His lovingkindness and His truth will continually preserve us (Psalm 40:11). His truth is like a shield that protects us (Psalm 91:4). When we know the truth, it makes us free - free from addiction, free from bondage, free indeed! May we walk in His truth and let it lead us along on the path of life.

Declare His Faithfulness

It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night, — Psalm 92:1-2 (NKJV) Let us declare the faithfulness of God every night. He pours out new compassions and mercies on us each morning and faithfully brings us through each day. Psalm 139:17-18 says, “ How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.”  God is faithful! Morning , noon and night, He is with you!

We Overcome

And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death... — Revelation 12:11 (AMP) We overcome the devil, who deceives the whole world (Revelation 12:9), by the precious blood of Jesus and by the words we utter out of our mouths. Our tongues have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). Choose to speak words of life. Tell others about the goodness of God and what He has done in your life. We conquer the lies and deception of Satan as we speak truth: the Word of God. In Deuteronomy 6:7, God’s people were instructed to talk about the Word when they sit in their homes, when they walk by the way, when they lie down and when they rise up. We overcome the works of our enemy by continually speaking God’s Word and sharing our testimonies.

No Partiality

For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another]. — Romans 2:11 (AMP) God does not show favoritism and there is no partiality with Him. He loves each and every one of us. And there is nothing on this earth or in heaven that can separate us from His love. Psalm 139:17 (NLT) declares, “How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” May we be as consumed with thoughts about God and share His unconditional love with everyone He brings our way.

He Cares about You!

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. — 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) God, the Creator of the earth and all it contains, cares about you. He had you on his mind before He laid the foundation of the earth. Even before he made the world, God loved you and chose you (Ephesians 1:4, NLT). How precious are His thoughts about you. They cannot be numbered! You can’t even count them because they outnumber the grains of sand! And when you wake up, He is still with you! (Psalm 139:17-18) He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30, MSG)! He goes before you and follows you. He places His hand of blessing on your head (Psalm 139:5, NLT). Amen!
