Steadfast and Faithful {Moments with God}

{With a heart full of gratitude} God, I don’t know what I would do without You, and am grateful I will never have to learn. You are steadfast and faithful, my rock and my foundation. You’re the touchstone I can always rely on, so I know that no matter what comes, I can turn and cling to You. I can seek You for wisdom, and ask Your Spirit for truth. I know You’ll always lead me, and so I yield to You. I need never fear uncertain times, for You’re never caught unaware. So I can trust in You faithfully, and leave myself in Your care. You comfort and console me when times of trial come, and You bolster and You strengthen me, so I can forever keep moving on. I’m so grateful that You love me, and that You’ve chosen me. I’m blessed to be Your beloved, and in that I find my identity.

Psalm 18:2 (TPT) You’re as real to me as bedrock beneath my feet, like a castle on a cliff, my forever firm fortress, my mountain of hiding, my pathway of escape, my tower of rescue where none can reach me. My secret strength and shield around me, you are salvation’s ray of brightness shining on the hillside, always the champion of my cause.

Faithful without Fail

Psalm 121:5-8 (TPT) Jehovah himself will watch over you; he’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence. He’s protecting you from all danger both day and night. He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity as he continually watches over you. You will be guarded by God himself. You will be safe when you leave your home and safely you will return. He will protect you now, and he’ll protect you forevermore!

Beloved, shalom is the peace I give you. It is the peace that wars against chaos. That kind of peace isn’t disturbed by troubles, it pushes back against them. It doesn’t fight in a way that escalates, but rather it diffuses by changing the very atmosphere.

Just as a gentle word turns away wrath (Proverbs 15:1), so the steadfast nature of shalom – the peace that comes from Me, diffuses chaos and calms the storm. So hold fast to your rightful inheritance. Refuse to give it up regardless of circumstance, knowing I AM faithful without fail. Continue reading “Faithful without Fail”

Strength Comes from Me

Psalm 121:1-2 (TPT) I look up to the mountains and hills, longing for God’s help. But then I realize that our true help and protection come only from the Lord, our Creator who made the heavens and the earth.

Beloved, resist the urge to look for strength in earthly things. Instead look to Me – the Maker of heaven and earth. Who is above Me? Who could stand in victory against Me? I AM your strength and your salvation, your strong tower and your rock of refuge. And though I may work through earthly things to achieve My end, remember their strength comes from Me alone.

Rest assured even as you cling fast to My hand. You’ve no need to be anxious or afraid, for you are Mine and I provide for My children. So yield to Me with joyous ease as you trust Me and My plans. For I AM faithful, and worthy of your trust. Continue reading “Strength Comes from Me”

I AM Good to My Word

Psalm 91:7-8 (AMP) A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But danger will not come near you. You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High].

Beloved, My right hand upholds you. Watch as I walk you through the days of trial. For when you surrender yourself into My care, surely you will see My hand at work. Would a loving earthly parent abandon their beloved child to a tempest? Or leave them to burn within a fiery blaze? Not if it was within their power to stop it!

Then surely you must know that I would do at least the same. For if those earthly parent are made in My image and reflecting My likeness, do you think I would do less than they would? Absolutely not. I AM a good Father. I love My children fiercely. I have promised never to leave or forsake you, and I AM good to My word. So rest and trust in Me. Continue reading “I AM Good to My Word”

Fear Not

Psalm 91:5-6 (AMP) You will not be afraid of the terror of night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon.

Beloved, refuse to fall into the trap of fear. For there will always be something that appears to be looming – something wanting to intimidate you and convince you of certain defeat. And those things could be legitimate concerns if you didn’t know Me, and you weren’t Mine, but you do, and you are.

I AM bigger and stronger than any foe that might come against you. No situation is so complex that I cannot find a way through. No opposition is formidable enough to scare Me away. And no plot against you is so clever that it can catch Me unaware. I AM able, and you are Mine, so fear not. Continue reading “Fear Not”

Place of Safety

Psalm 91:4 (AMP) He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.

Beloved, I will shelter you in My love, and hide you within My bosom. Find your place of safety in My arms – within the sphere of My tender, loving care. For I AM good, and I love My children. I will not stand idly by as by as calamity breaks down your door, for I AM with you, and I sustain you.

The fact that I AM steadfast and faithful from generation to generation means you can trust Me. For I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever, and I AM good. So make your place of safety one that’s found in Me. Continue reading “Place of Safety”

Rest in My Love

Psalm 84:11 (TPT) For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all!

Beloved, feel the warmth of My embrace and know you are safe. For I AM with you, and I watch over you to guard you. I keep you safe and hold you in times of trouble. I help you through any struggles. I AM faithful, and I AM enough.

Those who rest in Me have all they need. Keep your focus aligned with what is right, and trust me to guide your steps. As you yield, I will safely guide you. So walk in truth and integrity as you rest in My love. Continue reading “Rest in My Love”

Share Your Heart

Psalm 84:8 (TPT) Hear my cry, O God of Heaven’s Armies! God of Jacob, listen to my loving prayer. Pause in his presence

Beloved, I AM strong and wise, and I AM equipped to handle anything that comes your way. I hear every petition offered to Me, and I respond to each one. My answers may not be what is expected, but I AM always good. 

Be intentional to cast your cares on Me, and to make your needs known. For when you approach My throne, I always receive you. I hold you close to Me. So in boldness come, and be received before My throne of grace. My arms are open, and My ears attuned, so share your heart without delay. Continue reading “Share Your Heart”

I AM Able to Bring Forth

Psalm 84:6 (TPT) Even when their paths wind through the dark valley of tears, they dig deep to find a pleasant pool where others find only pain. He gives to them a brook of blessing filled from the rain of an outpouring.

Beloved, I never leave you. Even in the dark moments when troubles press from every side, I AM with you. I bring beauty for ashes and give you joy from mourning, so look to Me to bring blessing even in the midst of pain.

I AM fully able to do far beyond what you can imagine. This doesn’t mean trials will never come, it only assures you I AM able to bring forth something worthwhile even from the most challenging circumstance. So look to Me, and wait for the showers of blessings to fall. Continue reading “I AM Able to Bring Forth”

You are Important to Me

Psalm 84:3 (TPT) O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God, even the sparrows and swallows are welcome to build a nest among your altars for the birds to raise their young.

Beloved, nothing is beneath My notice, and no one is beyond My view. My eye is on the sparrow, and I see each petal of the lilies of the field. The small and seemingly insignificant have all been created and placed by My design and for My good purpose, and each are important to Me. Just as you are important to Me.

Resist the urge to believe that you are unworthy of My attention. For that is a lie from the father of lies, who seeks to separate you from your Source of life. Refuse to be led astray, and rather be rooted in hope that I AM who I say I AM, and that My character and love for you are steadfast. For I AM and they are. Be at peace, beloved, for I AM with you.
