Today’s Reading:
Psalm 27
Psalm 91
Yahweh is my revelation-light and the source of my salvation. I fear no one! I’ll never turn back and run, for you, Yahweh, surround and protect me. When evil ones come to destroy me, they will be the ones who turn back. My heart will not fear even if an army rises to attack. I will not be shaken, even if war is imminent.
Psalms 27:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Grace is in the middle. It’s where I Am. It’s in the middle of where I called you to be. It’s in the middle of the storm, the mess, the work, the chaos, the noise. My grace is there meeting you, flowing through you and surrounding you. My grace is for you. It cuts through the noise and enables you to hear My voice. It cuts through the choppy waters as a protected calm zone. Don’t fear going where I have called you to go because it looks like it’s in the middle of a hurricane, because it looks like it’s in the middle of a war zone. It is exactly that, but I have provided a protected, peace-filled space for you in the zone of My grace right in the middle of storm, the war, the chaos and the noise.
In the day of trouble, he will treasure me in his shelter, under the cover of his tent. He will lift me high upon a rock, out of reach from all my enemies who surround me. Triumphant now, I’ll bring him my offerings of praise, singing and shouting with ecstatic joy! Yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh!
Psalms 27:5-6 TPT
I’ve called you to the battlefield. I’ve called you to the midst of the storm. That’s where battles are fought and won. But My cone of peace and grace are provided for you there. You may feel that it’s calmer on the sidelines, that it’s better to hide in your room. I assure though the storm and the war will not stop at your doorstep. The safest place to be is right in the middle of the mess, the swirl, the chaos, the noise and the war to which I have called you — because My grace will get you there, and it is provided there. My grace is not in the places I have not called you to be, and it’s gone ahead of you from the places I have called you to leave. Trust My voice. Trust My leading. Follow my grace and peace. They will take you into deep waters. They will take you into stormy seas and the heat of battle, the fog and chaos of war. But wherever I have led you, I have provided the grace, the cover and the peace for you to be. So don’t fear the war, the stormy seas or the storm itself. Instead, fear the Lord. Instead desire to be obedient and to follow Me in enraptured love.
When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us? God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm. If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling. You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet! For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you loved me, delighted in me, and have been loyal to my name, I will greatly protect you.
Psalms 91:9-14 TPT
My grace is drawing you. My voice is beckoning you, and My grace and peace are provided every place I have called you to be. When I call, run into the battle. When I call, push out into the choppy, angry sea. Leave your safe place and walk out into the midst of the chaos and howling storm if that is where I have called you to be. Wherever I Am, wherever I have called you to be, that is where My unlimited, rich grace is provided. That’s where your heart should greatly desire and long to be.
How to Respond
- Heed the voice of the Lord. Don’t hold on to comfort. It is fleeting. Don’t give in to fear.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You guide me, You lead me and You are for me. Show me where I need to be. And help me to participate with Your great grace to get there and to do the work You have called me to do in that place.
- Declare, Yahweh is my revelation-light and the source of my salvation. I fear no one! I’ll never turn back and run, for you, Yahweh, surround and protect me. – Psalms 27:1 TPT
- Decree, I will go where the Lord calls me to go, regardless of what it looks or sounds like. I will be in the protected zone of the Lord’s grace in the midst of the storm, seas or battle to which I am called. The Lord has prepared me for the war and has a place for me to be positioned in the middle of it. And He will be with me every step of the way. I will not fear. I will be quickly and fully obedient to the voice of the Lord, come what may.
