Today’s Reading:
Psalm 19
“Yahweh’s Word is perfect in every way; how it revives our souls! Yahweh’s laws lead us to truth, and his ways change the simple into wise. Yahweh’s teachings are right and make us joyful; his precepts are so pure! Yahweh’s commands challenge us to keep close to his heart! The revelation-light of his Word makes my spirit shine radiant.”
Psalms 19:7-8 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
I Am flooding you with My goodness. You will see My mercies and grace poured out generously in your life. You will see My love pour out so generously and touch and connect with and answer your heart. I Am answering your heart’s desire with a flood of love and goodness in an answer that is as sweet and pure, as delightful as honey. I will touch the deep longing of your soul with this flood of generous sweet goodness, straight from My heart to yours. There’s nothing like My love. There’s nothing like My truth. It refines like fire, and when you submit to the fire, to the testing, when you submit to the truth, you will come out as pure gold.
“Yahweh’s decrees are trustworthy. The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever. The rarest treasures of life are found in his truth. That’s why God’s Word is prized like others prize the finest gold. Sweeter also than honey are his living words— sweet words dripping from the honeycomb! For they warn us, your servants, and keep us from following the wicked way, giving a lifetime guarantee: great success to every obedient soul!”
Psalms 19:9-11 TPT
I have been refining and testing My warriors in the fiery furnace of truth. My grace has joined you in the furnace. My grace has walked you even through the trials of the refiner’s fire, and you have come out as pure gold. You have come out not smelling like smoke. You have come out as a burnished, sparkling, golden one — pure, solid and true. Now My sweet goodness will meet you as you step out of the furnace and into the light. Even in the furnace you have been hidden. Even before the furnace you were hidden under the dross and the covering of all that had not yet been burned away.
“because of the living truth that has a permanent home in us and will be with us forever. Grace, mercy, and peace belong to us, flowing from the presence of God the Father and from Jesus Christ, Son of the Father and from the realm of true love.”
2 John 1:2-3 TPT
My hand is extended to you, is drawing you, is walking with you out of that firey furnace testing time of purification by the Word of truth. My goodness, My sweet, sweet goodness will flood you, will meet you, will overwhelm you there. Just steps, just one step outside of that fiery furnace from which you have now emerged. The days to shine, to stand, to rise and to walk forward in bold confidence are here. You have passed the test. You have walked out of the refiner’s fire. You have been tested by truth. You have been cleansed and purified by truth, and truth is what remains. Watch how much you love truth. Watch the deep, ferocious love you have for truth now that it has tested the very depths of your soul. Only the truth remains.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord, thank You that You care for me, that You walk with me, even through times of testing and trials, even through purification and deep cleansing, You are with me — holding me up and showing me which way to go.
- Declare, the Lord refines us and purifies us as with fire, so that purity, truth and love are all that remain.
- Decree, the Lord has walked with me through the fires of testing, and He has drawn me out. I will taste and see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I will be overwhelmed by the flood of the goodness of the Lord as I walk out of this fiery time of testing from which I am emerging. I will walk in a new level of boldness and consecrated purity that frightens hell.
