Today’s Readings:
Isaiah 41-42
Psalm 20-21
10 ‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Isaiah 41:10
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
Psalm 21:7
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.
The Lord says,
It’s resurrection season. It’s victory season! It’s the Alpha and Omega season. Can you feel the atmosphere charged with energy? Are you filled with a sense of great anticipation? Great expectation? What is happening and what will happen will lead to you being surrounded by good. You will see good all around you.
5 Thus says God the Lord,
Isaiah 42:5-6
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its offspring,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it,
6 “I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness,
I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You,
And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the nations,
It’s messy now. It’s painful now. But hold firmly in your heart to the expectation of good. Let your mind fill with wonder as you dwell on Me, as you dwell on My ways, My goodness, My faithfulness. What I have planned no one has ever seen before, and wonder you will. As you gaze at the stars and look to the sky, as you consider the nations of the earth, wonder you will.
Immerse yourself in My peace. If you seek Me and My peace, you will find us. You can be immersed, surrounded and covered by My perfect peace.
20 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
Psalm 20:1-2
May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary
And support you from Zion!
Choosing My peace will be as if you are watching a terrible storm and tempest on the sea from the safety of a strongly built, wisely built house perched high atop the rocky cliffs. As the storm rages below, you can sense the danger and you can have concern; but you are dwelling in perfect peace, secure and assured of the safety of you and your loved ones.
4 May He grant you your heart’s desire
Psalm 20:4-5
And fulfill all your counsel!
5 We will sing for joy over your victory,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
The morning after that dark storm rages and then subsides, the air will be clear, the wind will be fresh, the sun will shine warm and bright, and it will be a day of great joyous, earnest and pure celebration.
Choose to dwell with Me. Keep your heart clean and pure so that I may dwell easily with you, so that I know I Am most welcome.
