Today’s Reading:
Psalm 119
I’m lovesick with yearnings for more of your salvation, for my heart is entwined with your Word. I’m consumed with longings for your promises, so I ask, “When will they all come true?” My soul feels dry and shriveled, useless and forgotten, but I will never forget your living truth.
Psalms 119:81-83 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God of all truth say,
Gone are the days where you receive only crumbs from My children’s table. Fulfillment is yours. You are moved from beneath to above. You are moved into a place of your own at My fully furnished and over abundantly supplied table. You have felt like you were getting the scraps of life, of My goodness. But still you wanted to sit at My feet. Still you remained close to My table, and you saw that even here I poured out My sufficiency for you. This was a test and a season. This was a stripping away and a refining. You have always had a place at My table. But now is the moment for you to rise up and take it, in purity, having been tested in the wilderness, tried in the fire, purified in My light.
Your extravagant kindness to me makes me want to follow your words even more! Teach me how to make good decisions, and give me revelation-light, for I believe in your commands. Before I was humbled I used to always wander astray, but now I see the wisdom of your words. Everything you do is beautiful, flowing from your goodness; teach me the power of your wonderful words!
Psalms 119:65-68 TPT
This place has been provided for you since the day of your salvation and even before that. You have lived in humility, now I will exalt you. You have been in the low places, now you will sit with kings. The time of My deliverance, My divine turnaround, My delivering far beyond My promises and exceeding every expectation is here. You have run headlong, you have smashed right into the new day. Will you walk with Me here in abundance? Will you speak My Name just as boldly among kings? Will you cling to My robes and hold onto My hand like you did in the desert?
Don’t let them mock and scorn me for obeying you. For even if the princes and my leaders choose to criticize me, I will continue to serve you and walk in your plans for my life. Your commandments are my counselors; your Word is my light and delight!
Psalms 119:22-24 TPT
This is the day of an exaltation. This is the day of a promotion that astonishes and for which I have been preparing you in the fiery furnace of affliction and My refining by fire. Will you remain? Will you stick closer to Me than another? Will you choose Me before the names and titles at the tables where I have given you a place? Choose Me first. Put Me first. Set Me forever before your face, and you will succeed.
The words you speak to me are worth more than all the riches and wealth in the whole world! Your very hands have held me and made me who I am; give me more revelation-light so I may learn to please you more. May all your devoted lovers see how you treat me and be glad, for your words are entwined with my heart. Lord, I know that your judgments are always right. Even when it’s me you judge, you’re still faithful and true. Send your kind mercy-kiss to comfort me, your servant, just like you promised you would. Love me tenderly so I can go on, for I delight in your life-giving truth.
Psalms 119:72-77 TPT
The testing and refining has given way to the new day of My purposes. Now you can show Me how you will walk in them. Be faithful My queen. Be faithful My bride. Be faithful My princess. Remain in Me.
How to Respond
- Submit and commit fully to the Lord. Refuse to waver in your loyalty and obedience to Him.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. I can only walk faithfully if You are with me. I need Your guidance, Your voice, Yoru Presence to succeed at anyting. Thank You that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Thank You that the season of my wilderness testing is giving way to promotion and promises fulfilled. Lord, help me to be faithful in all that You give me — every responsibility, every relationship, every seat, every platform and every opportunity. I want to exalt Your Name first — even and especially in front of kings.
- Declare, May I never forget your truth, for I rely upon your precepts. I will observe your laws every moment of the day and will never forget the words you say. I will walk with you in complete freedom, for I seek to follow your every command. When I stand before kings, I will tell them the truth and will never be ashamed. — Psalms 119:43-46 TPT
- Decree, The Lord is promoting ones who have lived in the wilderness, who have been refined in the refining fire, who have been purified by His light and who have felt like they were receiving the scraps from His childrens’ table. He is exalting them to places of great influence and responsibility, and they must be faithful to Him, remain close to Him and put His Presence and Name first as they walk in their newly established purposes from the Lord. As they do, He will make them successful and will cause their enemies to experience defeat after defeat.
