Today’s Readings:
Psalm 138
Isaiah 43
Now, this is what Yahweh says:
Isaiah 43:1-3a
“Listen, Jacob, to the One who created you,
Israel, to the one who shaped who you are.
Do not fear,
for I, your Kinsman-Redeemer, will rescue you.
I have called you by name, and you are mine.
2 When you pass through the deep, stormy sea,
you can count on me to be there with you.
When you pass through raging rivers,
You will not drown.
When you walk through persecution like fiery flames,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not harm you,
3 for I am your Savior, Yahweh, your mighty God,
the Holy One of Israel!
The Lord says,
All things are possible in the covering and knowledge of My love. It’s all you need. My love is all you need. My love is not just a feeling. My love its a tangible reality. My love is expressed in My Son, Jesus. He is the living, breathing expression of My love for you. He is the Savior of the world. He is the hands and feet and outstretched arms of compassion that I have for the world and for you specifically. He is the one interceding for you, advocating for you with Me. He is your only way to Me, the source of all love, light, life and truth.
Jesus is all that You need. Knowing Him will transform you. Knowing Him will rescue your heart from darkness and from the failures that come from looking to yourself to accomplish what only He can.
3 At the very moment I called out to you, you answered me!
Psalm 138:3
You strengthened me deep within my soul
and breathed fresh courage into me.
He establishes light and truth in your heart and in your eyes. He makes it possible for you to walk through darkness and not stumble. He holds your hand, and He is your only way to Me. He is the only way, the only truth, the only life. No one comes to Me except through Him. When you come through Him, you have access to living in My glorious light, under My glorious rule — the rule of an all loving, all compassionate, all merciful Father whose love and light and faithfulness knows no bounds. All you need is love. All you need is Jesus.
7 By your mighty power I can walk through any devastation,
Psalm 138:7
and you will keep me alive, reviving me.
Your power set me free from the hatred of my enemies.
He is the way you can come up higher. He is the way you can live above your circumstances. He is the way you can be led into all truth and discern the truth from a lie and right from wrong. He is love incarnate, and I sent Him for you. Run to Jesus. Let Him wrap His scarred arms of love around you, guide you forward, and guide you daily into becoming the person I created you to be. Accept His love. Accept and ask for His perspective. His love is all you need.
Your acceptance of Jesus’s love and return of your love in kind is a beautiful melody to My ears. Its’ a beautiful fragrance that rises up to Me. It’s a beautiful scene to behold. This is pure love without manipulation, without fear, without judgement, without keeping score. This is the standard of true love, Jesus’s love.
Nothing is impossible under the covering of His love. So move forward. One step and then the next, in the confidence that His love covers you, is active and goes before you making a path marked for His favored one. His love is paving the path in front of you and causing the road to rise up to meet you. Whom or what shall you fear?
Resting in the reality of Jesus’s love can calm every anxiety and cast out all the spirits of fear that plague you. Rest in Him. Rest in His love. As you anchor yourself in His love, as you anchor yourself in Him as truth, the waves will not overtake you. His love is all you need. One step and then the next.
