Remember Who I AM

Psalm 86:9 (TPT) Lord Almighty, you are the one who created all the nations; Look at them—they’re all on their way! Yes, the day will come when they all will worship you and put your glory on display.

Beloved, I AM Creator. I AM Lord of all. I AM the God of Heaven, and the earth rests at My feet. Just pause for a moment and consider that. Consider what it means that the earth is My footstool. Whatever portion of the natural world you’ve seen is still only a fraction of its entirety. And it is My footstool.

And yet, I not only take note of you, but My eye is ever on you and I’ve chosen you to be My very own. The problems that feel so big to you are so small to Me – not even problems at all, and yet I AM mindful of each and every one because you are so precious to Me. Remember who I AM, and remember who you are to Me.

Psalm 86:9 (TPT) Lord Almighty, you are the one who created all the nations; Look at them—they’re all on their way! Yes, the day will come when they all will worship you and put your glory on display. You are the one and only God. What miracles! What wonders! What greatness belongs to you! Teach me more about you, how you work and how you move, so that I can walk onward in your truth until everything within me brings honor to your name. With all my heart and passion I will thank you, my God! I will give glory to your name, always and forever!

Who You Know Me to Be

Psalm 86:8 (TPT) God, there’s no one like you; there’s no other god as famous as you. You outshine all others and your miracles make it easy to know you.

Beloved, rejoice in the truth of who I AM. See Me and know My heart. For those who truly know Me have unshakable faith because they rest in My firmness of character. Trust that I AM who I say I AM. Then watch that truth be manifested in your daily life.

Give praise for who you know Me to be, for in doing so you raise a song of victory. Shout to the heavens in triumph and praise. Let the gratitude overflow in songs of thanksgiving. May your very life testify to who you know Me to be.

Psalm 86:5-8 (TPT) Lord, you are so good to me, so kind in every way and ready to forgive, for your grace-fountain keeps overflowing, drenching all your lovers who pray to you. God, won’t you pay attention to this urgent cry? Lord, bend down to listen to my prayer. Whenever trouble strikes, I will keep crying out to you, for I know your help is on the way. God, there’s no one like you; there’s no other god as famous as you. You outshine all others and your miracles make it easy to know you.

Pause to Remember

Psalm 86:7 (TPT) Whenever trouble strikes, I will keep crying out to you, for I know your help is on the way.

Beloved, in moments of hardship and trial, remember who I AM. Remind yourself of all I have done, and trust that I’ll do it again. Just as I moved miraculously to procure freedom for the Israelites from Egypt only to have them cry at the Red Sea and accuse Me of trying to do them harm, so are the memories short for many of My children.

Pause to remember, for you know who I AM, and what I AM capable of. I’m the God of the impossible, worker of miracles – Lord of Hosts am I. And I stand beside you, and I’ll never leave you. So rest surely in the safety of My steadfast love.

Psalm 86:5-8 (TPT) Lord, you are so good to me, so kind in every way and ready to forgive, for your grace-fountain keeps overflowing, drenching all your lovers who pray to you.

See Things Differently

Psalm 86:6 (TPT) God, won’t you pay attention to this urgent cry? Lord, bend down to listen to my prayer.

Beloved, in the moments that all seem lost or that it feels like chaos surrounds you, pause to see things differently. You know that I love you – that I’m steadfast and true, that I will never leave you. You know that I’m able, and that I move on your behalf, so look again at what is around you.

What you see as hardship may be an opportunity for growth. That cruelty from someone may be an opportunity to extend grace and forgiveness. Resist the urge to assume the worst, and instead consider you may be missing something. So look again, beloved, and rest in My love. For I AM faithful, and you are dearly loved.

Choose to Trust

Psalm 86:3 (TPT) Lord God, hear my constant cry for help; show me your favor and bring me to your fountain of grace!

Beloved, I hear every word that falls from your lips (whether you’re addressing them to Me or not). Resist the urge to think I’m unfeeling or unmoved simply because I respond differently than you hope or perhaps think I should.

I AM the Alpha and I AM the Omega. I AM the first and last. My perspective is beyond your comprehension, so choose to trust My judgement. And choose to trust My counsel. And yield to My direction, and know it’s for your good.

Beloved, regardless of the situation you find yourself in, I AM with you and I AM listening. Even when you’re in a crisis of your own making, I don’t turn my back to punish or desert you. I love you. And even when you walk through fire I AM with you – in fact, especially then.

I’m no fair weather friend. I’m not a “sometimes” god. I AM steadfast and I AM able. And whether the trap you find yourself in is one of your own making or one set to ensnare you, I AM fully able to move on your behalf, if you but yield to Me.

Hold My Heart {Moments with God}

{Crying in my heart} Please hear me, Father. I feel weighed down in spirit and troubled in my heart. So in my distress I turn to You (just as I do in my joy). In confusion I will cling to You (because You’ll never steer me wrong). I don’t understand what is troubling me, or why I’m in despair. But this is the way You’ve wired me, and so I trust my heart in Your care.

{His whispered reply} You’re beautiful, My precious one, and I’ve made you flawlessly. My design for you is beautiful, even when it’s incomprehensible for you – still then I can clearly see exactly what I had in mind, and how I see it playing out. You are exactly as you should be, a gift to the world and a joy to Me. So let Me lavish My love upon you, and let My Spirit minister to your soul. Your heart is so precious to Me, thank you for trusting it to Me to hold.

Psalm 86:1 (ESV) Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
