Who Is The Secret Of The Lord With? | Psalm 25:14

"The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant."

- Psalm 25:14

Praise The Most High | Psalm 66:17

I will Bless The Lord! His Praise will continually be in my mouth!!!!

GOD Delights In You

You will be fed 🌿

As believers, we have spiritual food. 

GOD's word gives us vitality. 

The Word says obeying GOD literally gives "life to our bones and health to our body"*

The food we get isn’t just talking about natural food, it's talking about GOD being the Provider of everything we need.

Our Heavenly Father waters us. We are the planted and the "branches" of The Lord. By streams of still, but living waters we get the peace and energy we need for divine productivity.

We've heard "delight yourself in The Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart."

We should also note: our praise and obedience to The Most High is a delight to Him✨️

As royal priests, when we bring our praise and worship before GOD we become fruitful and fed, then it spreads:

". . . And all nations will call you blessed: for you will be a delightsome land, says The Lord of hosts."

Let The Redeemed Come

If The Lord is our GOD, Leader, King and True Shepard, but we're not seeking Him to lead, not even paying attention to what he's doing, but instead doing our own thing, this makes for a dysfunctional relationship.

Fully belonging to the Redeemer, means fully following Him.

Do you claim The Lord as your redeemer? More importantly do you know Him to be that?

If so, then you're invited to come. Come into His presence with thanksgiving, come making a joyful noise, come with true worship, with your *whole heart in it. 

Let us seek, worship, and pray to The Lord *in Spirit and in truth. 

As His children, as His beloved and redeemed let's make sure we're listening for His voice.

May we seek and obey The Divine Shepard we belong to*, today and everyday.

Don't hide, don't be afraid of the power of GOD, come in.

*Jeremiah 29:13, John 4:24, John 10:27

Your Vindication Is From The Lord

No weapon formed against you shall prevail. It won't be effective. It won't get through if you're a servant of The Lord. 

The enemy may try to smash you, but when you lift up your voice to The Lord . . . protection happens, safety happens. 

This is the heritage of the servants of The Lord.

Our tongues are lifted up against every tongue that rises against us in judgement, when our heart is turned toward The Lord.

Being surrendered to The Lord is a place that's sacred. It's impenetrable. 

As we hide in the shadow of GOD's wings. * The Lord can put words in our mouths to speak against the enemy. Even targeted, specific and intentional words that speak to our specific situation. 

The promise here in this scripture doesn't end with "No weapon formed will prosper". It also says "Vindication is from The Lord." If The Lord lifts up His voice and declares a word, it is. That's it. 

As The Lord declares a thing, we as His servants can declare it. We should declare it. We can speak what we heard from GOD. We can speak what The Lord's word says.

Nothing can stand against anything that The Lord declares. It's up to us to be in service to The Lord.

* Psalm 17:8, Psalm 91:4

Delight Yourself In The Lord | Psalm 37:4

 

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. - Psalm 37:4

Hodaya - "Splendor of The Lord", Praise, Thanksgiving.

Today give The Lord a Hodaya Praise!!

GOD is worthy! All The Time The Lord is good.

As we praise our Resplendent GOD, we become resplendent.

Praise GOD from whom all blessings flow, Praise GOD who IS the blessing. Who is always with us.

Seek trust and praise The Lord!

Hear and be obedient to His will.

Those Who Look To The Lord Are Radiant | Psalm 34:5

 

Have some face time with The Lord today!

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. - Psalm 34:5

The Hebrew word Paniym means: Face, Presence, Person. May The Lord cause His face to shine upon you!

May the presence of The Lord continually be with you. May you continually look to The Lord so your face can continue to shine and radiate with His brightness. 

May we look to The Lord, the "lifter of our heads" forever. 

Amen.

Strength In My Soul

This is the truth on so many levels. GOD is always there for us when we cry out. The strength that comes from the word and the relationship is incredible. An Incredible GOD deserves incredible praise.

One Thing That I Desire. . . *Marvin Sapp Voice*

I'm kinda ambitious . . . well very ambitious. As a result I'm always whether consciously sometimes even unconsciously trying to formulate a plan to get to that "next level" whatever that looks like in my head and in my own thoughts.

What I'm grateful for is that the more I go into the direction of GOD's leading, the unnecessary within the excess of bright ideas fall off easily. I woke up this morning and my brain was formulating it's own thoughts and opinions, but my spirit wasn't here for it.

In addition to the conviction to focus on what I actually need to be focused on at this moment, like the GOD ordained tasks I already need to be working on, my spirit rose up with a familiar declaration from scripture:

"One thing that I Desire of the LORD, (and) that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD . . . . . " (Psalm 27:4)

Although this isn't the full original verse, it's the Marvin Sapp version from his album "Diary Of A Psalmist". It's the one that came to mind.

Yes, I may have played the song and got up and danced a little bit. . . (lol). I Did, but in this I'm inspired to stay focused on the singular will of GOD and not my own thoughts.

Do you ever have thoughts and ideas that you think are good, but in essence they don't really serve you or your purpose? Hopefully, if you're like me and sometimes your bright ideas get the best of you, you can reference this psalm and consider GOD's will first. Consistent, productive focus is attainable. It's important to entertain what's worthy.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. - 2 Corinthians 10:5

 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. - Matthew 6:33
