My Daily Nourishment

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.

Proverbs 3:5-8 NIV

________________

For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold
from those who walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!

Psalm 84:11,12 NASB

________________

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust,
and respecteth not the proud,
nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works
which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which
are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up
in order unto thee: if I would declare and
speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Psalm 40:4,5 KJV

Thanks be unto God for his amazing gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten
Son of God is the object of our faith;
the only faith that saves is faith in Him.

But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

1 Peter 4:13,14 NIV

________________

How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up
for those who fear You,
Which You have wrought for those
who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of men!

You hide them in the secret place
of Your presence from the conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a shelter
from the strife of tongues.

Psalm 31:19,20 NASB

________________

Be merciful unto me, O God,
be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee:
yea, in the shadow of thy wings
will I make my refuge,
until these calamities be overpast.

I will cry unto God most high;
unto God that performeth all things for me.

He shall send from heaven,
and save me from the reproach of him
that would swallow me up. Selah…
God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. My soul is among lions:
and I lie even among them that are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears
and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Psalm 57:1-4 KJV

A Song of Celebration

Everyone in Jerusalem and Judah,
celebrate and shout
with all your heart!

Zion, your punishment is over.
The LORD has forced your enemies
to turn and retreat.
Your LORD is King of Israel
and stands at your side;
you don’t have to worry
about any more troubles.

Jerusalem, the time is coming,
when it will be said to you:
“Don’t be discouraged
or grow weak from fear!

The LORD your God
wins victory after victory
and is always with you.
He celebrates and sings
because of you,
and he will refresh your life
with his love.”

Zephaniah 3:14-17 CEV

By humility and the fear of the LORD
are riches, and honour, and life.

Proverbs 22:4 KJV

________________

He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left…

Then He will give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.

Isaiah 30:20-21,23 NASB

________________

Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God. You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows. What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways.

Sing, O daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!

For the LORD will remove his hand of judgment
and will disperse the armies of your enemy.
And the LORD himself, the King of Israel,
will live among you!

At last your troubles will be over,
and you will fear disaster no more.

On that day the announcement to Jerusalem will be,
“Cheer up, Zion! Don’t be afraid!

For the LORD your God has arrived
to live among you. He is a mighty savior.
He will rejoice over you with great gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will exult over you by singing a happy song.”

Zephaniah 3:14-17 MSG

So sing, Daughter Zion!
Raise the rafters, Israel!
Daughter Jerusalem,
be happy! celebrate!

GOD has reversed his judgments against you
and sent your enemies off chasing their tails.
From now on, GOD is Israel’s king,
in charge at the center.
There’s nothing to fear from evil
ever again!

God Is Present Among You

Jerusalem will be told:
“Don’t be afraid.
Dear Zion,
don’t despair.

Your GOD is present among you,
a strong Warrior there to save you.
Happy to have you back,
he’ll calm you with his love
and delight you with his songs.

Zephaniah 3:14-17 MSG

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

There are many “tudes” of life. The first “tude” I want to talk about is “gratitude” because the more you express gratitude for what you have the more you will have to express gratitude for. It’s equally true that you never will find a happy person who is not a grateful person, so gratitude is a marvelous place to start.

The second “tude” is “attitude.” Psychologists have maintained for generations that attitudes are more important than facts. An attitude with the facts, however, is going to be tremendously rewarding and productive. It’s also a fact that attitude is the determining factor in the major accomplishments of life, and fortunately, attitude is something you can control.

The next “tude” is “magnitude.” We need to magnify the important things and reduce the magnitude of things that appear to be insurmountable problems. “Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill” is a wise observation all of us would do well to observe.

The next “tude” is latitude, which is another way of expressing the fact that we have the freedom to do virtually anything within the bounds of human decency and law in this land of ours. We have the latitude to be all that we can be and accomplish some incredible objectives. Regardless of our ancestors and the circumstances of our youths, we have the latitude to move from where we are to where we want to be.

The next “tude” is “multitude.” We face a multitude of challenges and opportunities every day. It’s a fact that you can hold a dime close enough to your eye to blot out the sun. If we concentrate on the multitude of challenges we face, we will blot out the opportunities of life. It is equally true that if we concentrate on the opportunities of life, we will blot out the challenges to the degree that we can overcome those challenges.

With a good set of “tudes,” you can accomplish some incredible objectives in life, so concentrate on the “tudes”….

As for God, his way is perfect.
All the LORD’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look
to him for protection.

For who is God except the LORD?
Who but our God is a solid rock?

God arms me with strength;
he has made my way safe.

He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
leading me safely along the mountain heights.

He prepares me for battle;
he strengthens me to draw
a bow of bronze.

You have given me the
shield of your salvation.
Your right hand supports me;
your gentleness has made me great.

You have made a wide path for my feet
to keep them from slipping.

Psalm 18:30-36 NLT

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Revelation 22:20,21 KJV

_______________

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

2 Corinthians 1:19,20 KJV

_______________

The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this: “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.”

Get Hot for The AMEN! Amen!
