Today’s Reading:
Psalm 36
Psalm 37
Psalm 115
O God, how extravagant is your cherishing love! All mankind can find a hiding place under the shadow of your wings. All may drink of the anointing from the abundance of your house. All may drink their fill from the rivers of Eden. The fountain of life flows from you to satisfy me. In your light of holiness we receive the light of revelation. Lord, keep pouring out your unfailing love on those who are near you. Release more of your blessings to those who are loyal to you.
Psalms 36:7-10 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
I Am the fount of every blessing. Come and drink from Me and be satisfied. Come and drink My living water and be supercharged. The water I give is like no other. I will fuel you for the days ahead — days of blazing glory, days of fire, smoke and confusion in the world. Even as chaos erupts and causes panic in the world far beyond you and even the world around you, you can be at perfect peace knowing that I will use all of it. Sometimes My work is obvious, distinct and clear to see. Other times I use messes or hide my handiwork in what appears to be big messes to accomplish My purposes while keeping them concealed.
For the Lord takes care of all his forgiven ones while the strength of evil men will surely slip away. Day by day the Lord watches the good deeds of the godly, and he prepares for them his forever-reward. Even in a time of disaster he will watch over them, and they will always have more than enough no matter what happens. All the enemies of God will perish. For the wicked have only a momentary value, a fading glory. Then one day they vanish! Here today, gone tomorrow.
Psalms 37:17-20 TPT
Don’t fear a thing. I Am fully aware, fully alive, fully present and fully active in all of the situations and machinations going on in the world. Things may seem topsy turvy. Things may seem as if they have gone off kilter for a while. Things may even seem like they’ve gotten out of hand. But I Am Lord above all, and I Am Lord of all. Whom or what shall you fear? Nothing can separate you from My love, My voice, My plans or My purposes. Though thousands may fall and ten thousand at your right hand, nothing shall by any means hurt you. Remain in the sphere of My love. Remain in unbroken communion with Me. Shaky days, uncertain days and even confounding and seemingly very violent days will come. But you can be at perfect rest in Me. You can be active and busy at the work I have called you to do with no fear, because you are hidden in Me. Christ Jesus is your shield. Your faith in King Jesus is what shields you from every fiery dart of the enemy. Hide in Him. Live boldly behind the great, impenetrable wall of faith in Christ Jesus.
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.
Psalms 115:9-11 TPT
These days ahead — many of them will be like those of Nehemiah where you work with your weapon in one hand and your tool in the other. This is the time of rebuilding and refortifying the places where the enemy has had unfettered access to culture, to family, to the airwaves, to the pulpits. This is a great rebuilding and refortifying time to reestablish the boundaries and push and keep the accuser, the divider, the destroyer out. I have provided the tools you need. I have provided My Presence, My voice and My Name as a shield. You have everything you need to reset, rebuild and reestablish the boundaries of your territory — home, state and nation. Do it without fear. Do it with bold confidence that you have been commissioned, equipped and sent out for such a time as this. Go forth boldly, and do all I have put in your heart to do.
How to Respond
- Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
- Pray, Lord thank You for being with me, for guiding me, for equipping me and for hiding me. Help me to be bold and courageously at work — doing what You have called me to do in this intense war season. Help me to not give an inch to fear or doubt, but to hide myself behind the faithful, impenetrable shield of my faith in King Jesus as You give me the grace and strategy to usurp the enemy in my place of battle.
- Declare, Find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh, and he will give you what you desire the most. Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly! He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun. —Psalms 37:4-6 TPT
- Decree, I will not be moved or shaken. I will be busy about my Father’s work, and I will boldly and courageously continue in it — come what may. The Name of Jesus is a strong tower. The righteous run to it and are secure.
