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”

I AM YHVH Manowc (the Lord your Refuge)

Psalm 91:2-3 (AMP) I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!” For He will save you from the trap of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

Beloved, I AM YHVH Manowc – the Lord your refuge. I AM your safe place in good times and in bad. I AM the One who will never desert you, nor change My heart toward you. I AM steadfast, and I AM fully able. Rest in Me.

[Repeatedly it’s been highlighted to me how often God directs us to “rest” – “rest in Him”, “rest in His love” – simply to rest. He says it so often that I had begun to wonder if maybe the problem was me. That *I* wasn’t hearing correctly because what I was hearing was so often the same. But just as that thought moves me to a place of striving from a place of yielded listening, He told me that He’s reminding us exactly because our natural inclination is towards striving rather than rest. To learn to rest – to fully yield to Him, takes discipline and repetition. So yes, He’s repeating Himself. He’s doing so because we need the constant, gentle reminders so that we don’t fall into the trap of relying on self rather than yielding to Him. May we be intentional to stay in a place of rest, and to receive His gentle nudges with the love they’re intended.] Continue reading “I AM YHVH Manowc (the Lord your Refuge)”

Rest in the Safety of My Embrace

Psalm 91:1 (AMP) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].

Beloved, rest in the safety of My embrace. For I AM an impenetrable fortress of protection. This does not mean troubles will never come, for they inevitably will, but it is a reminder that your ability to navigate those rocky waters is with you always. That comes through Me.

Therefore, there is no need to tremble in fear, or stress yourself with anxiety. Cast your cares on Me, beloved, for I care for you. Any semblance of control you think you have is but an illusion anyway, so yield yourself into My hands. Trust Me. Continue reading “Rest in the Safety of My Embrace”

Rejoice in the Fullness of All You’ve Been Given

Psalm 84:12 (TPT) O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you!

Beloved, though challenges will always come, when you find your hope in Me, true joy and peace are yours. So allow My radiant countenance to reflect from your face. Let the heat of My love warm you, and stir the coals of your own fiery blaze.

In My Kingdom is truth and love forevermore. What more would you choose? Rejoice in the fullness of all you’ve been given. May your eyes be fully open, and may your heart fully see. Continue reading “Rejoice in the Fullness of All You’ve Been Given”

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”

Step into My Open Arms

Psalm 84:10 (TPT) For just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked.

Beloved, everything else pales in comparison to the true intimacy that you can have with Me. Nothing is more fulfilling. Anything else that may satisfy you, only does so for a moment rather than for eternity. I AM what truly satisfies your soul, and fills the longings of your heart.

If your experience of relationship with Me doesn’t align with those truths, then know there is more available for you. Refuse to settle for less. Resist the urge to assume there’s something wrong with you or that I’m withholding Myself – or whatever lie the enemy might whisper, but rather continue to persistently press in. Continue reading “Step into My Open Arms”

Trust My Love for You

Psalm 84:9 (TPT) God, your wrap-around presence is our defense. In your kindness look upon the faces of your anointed ones.

Beloved, I go before you, and I AM your rear guard. Nothing comes near you without My knowing. And I AM with you, sustaining you. My attention never wavers. Trust yourself into My care. Step into My loving arms and let Me hold you close when you’re afraid.

I AM Olam Zerowa – the everlasting arms, and I AM always with you and I will never leave you, so rest in Me. I look upon you with the tender eyes of One who adores you. Trust My love for you – feel it encompass you in a cocoon of safety. Continue reading “Trust My Love for You”

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”
