Today’s Reading:
Psalm 18
Psalm 115
Psalm 116
Psalm 117
So trust in the Lord, all his people. For he is the only true hero, the wraparound God who is our shield! You, his priests, trust in the Lord. For he is the only true hero, God-wrapped-around-us as our shield. Yes, all his lovers who bow before him, trust in the Lord. For he is our only true hero, God-wrapped-around-us as our shield. The Lord will never forget us in our need; he will bless us indeed! He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron, his priest. Yes! He will bless his devoted lovers who bow before him, no matter who they are.
Psalms 115:9-13 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Choose carefully. Trust in My still small voice. Trust not in your anxious thoughts. Trust that I Am leading you, guiding you, empowering you for the road ahead, for the day ahead, even just for the moment ahead. You can rest in Me. You can be relaxed and look with confidence at the days ahead, because you are secure in My love — because you recognize My Presence, you welcome it and cultivate the space for Me to come and dwell with you.
Yahweh, you’re the bedrock beneath my feet, my faith-fortress, my wonderful deliverer, my God, my rock of rescue where none can reach me. You’re the shield around me, the mighty power that saves me, and my high place.
Psalms 18:2 TPT
You don’t have to fear, because I have set you in a high place, safe and secure before My face. I have put you in a protected place, a hidden place out of harm’s reach. My grace and love surround you. I Am your wraparound shield. My wings cover you, and I Am with you faithfully all of your days. Don’t fear the days ahead. Don’t be anxious about today or tomorrow, or next week or next year. My consuming fire covers you, My hand of abundant provision is ever outstretched before you, and I will give you rest. Perfect peace abides with Me. Confidence and rest are gifts from My throne.
God himself will fill you with more. Blessings upon blessings will be heaped upon you and upon your children from the maker of heaven and earth, the very God who made you!
Psalms 115:14-15 TPT
Take up and enjoy this faith-rest life, this adventure-filled life. Don’t come kicking and screaming, don’t make me drag you into this next season. Come as a mature one, as a dearly loved one, as a faithful, fully equipped and confident one — confident in My voice, My direction, My instruction and My faithfulness.
Let everyone everywhere shine with praise to Yahweh! Let it all out! Go ahead and praise him! For he has conquered us with his great love, and his kindness has melted our hearts. His faithfulness lasts forever, and he will never fail you. So go ahead, let it all out! Praise Yah! O Yah!
Psalms 117:1-2 TPT
The new day of My favor is dawning on your life. Come forth in expectation and in confidence. Come willingly and readily, obediently into this new place of provision I have prepared for you. Great days are ahead, and great days are now. Trust Me. Rest in Me. Delight in Me. I will be your peace and provider. Rest in Me, and do not be anxious. I take care of all My godly lovers. I take care of all those who dearly love Me.
