LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. — Psalms 16:5 (NLT) Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” (Psalms 16:1-2 NLT) Remember the good things Yahweh has done for you. I will bless Yahweh who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

(Psalms 128:1 LSB) 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.

Worship the LORD

Image
Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” — Matthew 4:8-10 (NKJV) Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name; Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.

Zephaniah 2:11 (NKJV) says, He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth. Who or what has captured the affection of your heart?  But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship H...

This is The Day

This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) God saw you before you were born. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (See Psalms 139:16) Nothing that happens to us is a surprise to Yahweh. Let us rejoice knowing that whatever comes our way has already been handled by the God Most High, the all-knowing, all-powerful God of the universe. The only true and living GOD. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Yahweh has given us this day. We cannot change yesterday and we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Let us make the most of this day. Seek God's will and follow the leading of His Holy Spirit. For from Him [all things originate] and through Him [all things live and exist] and to Him are all things [directed]. To Him be glory and honor forever! Amen. (Romans 11:36 AMP) In him we live and move and exist. (See Acts 17:28)

Give Thanks

“Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted.” — John 6:11 (NLT) Instead of looking at our material possessions, may we look to Yahweh, the source of everything that we need.

Be Filled

Image
King David said this about him: ‘I see that the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises!

You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’ — Acts 2:25-28 (NLT)  In Acts 13:52 (NLT), the believers were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

(See Psalms 16:11 NKJV) In Isaiah 43:2 (NLT), the LORD says: “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.

Believe & Recognize

For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God]. Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. — 1 John 5:4-5 (AMP) I encourage you to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. (See 2 Timothy 4:7) Remember that the battle belongs to the LORD and the war has already been won. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

He Hears & Rescues

When the righteous cry [for help], the LORD hears and rescues them from all their distress and troubles.

(See Acts 3:19-20 NLT)  Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works.

He keeps every promise forever. (Psalms 146:5-6 NLT) Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

And let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah! (Psalms 106:48 LSB)
