Today’s Reading:
Psalm 18
Psalm 103
Isaiah 66
”With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me? You kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I’ve done. You’ve healed me inside and out from every disease. You’ve rescued me from hell and saved my life. You’ve crowned me with love and mercy. You satisfy my every desire with good things. You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky! You’re a God who makes things right, giving justice to the defenseless. You unveiled to Moses your plans and showed Israel’s sons what you could do. Lord, you’re so kind and tenderhearted and so patient with people who fail you! Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness.“
Psalms 103:1-8 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
Exalt Me in your thoughts and mind. Exalt Me in your heart. Crown your thoughts with Me. Let Me be exalted above all. Let Me be the King of your days, of your heart, of your life, of your future. I Am to be exalted above all. I Am the King of Glory. Lift Me up in your sight. Lift Me up in your heart. Lift Me up in your life, your decisions, your conversations. Exalt Me above all. Make Me the centerpiece. Remember and keep in remembrance that I Am the Lord of all. I Am the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. I Am enthroned on high and the Earth is my footstool. I Am your reason for living and the one who holds all things together. I Am the one through which and in which all things have their being. It’s all because of Me, in Me and through Me. It is because of My Word, My breath of life that any of it exists.
”This is what Yahweh says: “The heavens are my throne and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where is the place where I will rest? My hand made these things so they all belong to me,” declares Yahweh. “But there is one my eyes are drawn to: the humble one, the tender one, the trembling one who lives in awe of all I say.“
Isaiah 66:1-2 TPT
Live with a holy reverence. Live with a heavy, weighty peace, because I Am the Lord of all. You don’t need to fret, worry or sway. You simply need to keep Me exalted as Lord of all in your heart, in your mind, in your life. Keep your eyes fixed on truth. Keep your mind stayed on all that is pure, lovely, just and of good repute. Remain in Me, and you will stay in peace. Regardless of the storm, regardless of the darkness that surrounds you and even seems to completely envelop, you can stay at perfect peace. You can stay busy about your Father’s business, even in the darkness.
”For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God, The God who girds me with strength And makes my way blameless? He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And sets me upon my high places. He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great. You enlarge my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.“
Psalms 18:31-36 NASB1995
This is the place of advancement, acceleration and concealed great strides. It’s in the darkness that you will move mountains. It’s in the darkness that you will go farther faster than anyone could have hoped, planned or imagined. I’m doing this with you and for you in the darkness as you stay busy about the work that I have put in your heart and your hands. The darkness may seem overwhelming, but in Me and with My light in you, it will not overwhelm you. It will just provide cover for you to do mighty great works that advance My causes very significantly without detection. When the darkness lifts, you will be found to be light years ahead of where they thought you were, of even where you thought you were. Keep your head on straight. Keep your wits about you. Keep Me exalted as Lord of all. Lift My Name up, and your heart will be lifted too.
How to Respond
- Exalt the Lord above all.
- Pray, Holy Spirit, You own the darkness and the light. You are not intimidated or weaker in the presence of darkness. You have dominion over all. You are the Lord of all. Help me to not get distracted by the shaking, the storms or the increasing darkness. Help me to keep my eyes on You and keep You exalted above all in my heart, mind and life. Help me to stay focused and busy with the work You have put in my heart and in my hands. I want to be faithful in all that You have entrusted to me.
- Declare, the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. He is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Everything in creation is subject to Him. Whom or what shall I fear?
- Decree, I will not be moved by the darkness, the shaking or the storms. I will continue to exalt the Lord above all in my heart, mind and life. I will sing victory songs as I stay busy with the work He has put in my heart and hands to do. When the darkness lifts, I will be found faithful, and I will be found to have advanced light years beyond what I or anyone else could have imagined — because the Lord was with me and because I was faithful to His instruction.
