Today’s Reading:
Psalm 34
Psalm 90
Lord! I’m bursting with joy over what you’ve done for me! My lips are full of perpetual praise. I’m boasting of you and all your works, so let all who are discouraged take heart. Join me, everyone! Let’s praise the Lord together. Let’s make him famous! Let’s make his name glorious to all.
Psalms 34:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God,
You have stepped into the slipstream of My grace. The way forward is secured. Though you only know the next step, the vision has been made plain, and it is dawning in front of you now. Take the steps to walk this way, to build this way, to move forward in My wisdom that I Am dispensing and imparting in My grace.
Listen to my testimony: I cried to God in my distress and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears! Gaze upon him, join your life with his, and joy will come. Your faces will glisten with glory. You’ll never wear that shame-face again. When I had nothing, desperate and defeated, I cried out to the Lord and he heard me, bringing his miracle-deliverance when I needed it most.
Psalms 34:4-6 TPT
The road ahead may not be easy, but now the vision is plain. The vision has begun to take shape, and it will come into greater and greater focus as you are faithful in moving forward, as you take each step day by day, as you are diligent in seeking Me, in partnering with Me along the way. This is a fruitful path, and I Am taking You to a fruitful place. Trust My timing and My aligning. This is the way. I have taken you from what has felt like a very dry, isolated and barren place, and I Am moving you into community, into vibrant, boisterous life and into fruitfulness and abundance. Walk with Me. This is the way forward. Walk with Me.
Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who turn to hide themselves in him. Worship in awe and wonder, all you who’ve been made holy! For all who fear him will feast with plenty. Even the strong and the wealthy grow weak and hungry, but those who passionately pursue the Lord will never lack any good thing.
Psalms 34:8-10 TPT
Don’t get distracted or pulled off-course. Don’t make decisions before their time, which is My determined perfect timing. I will give You breadcrumbs. I will give you confirmations each step of the way. If My Spirit does not settle on an aspect of your work, set it aside. It may be one to discard. It may be one to wait on. It may be one that is in formation and needs to shift into something else and take another shape. This entire process, this entire walk is being led by My Spirit, in My great grace. Your job is obedience, diligence and remaining in unbroken, delighted, sweet communion with Me. And I will give you rest. I will be your peace. I will be the energy and excitement that pulses through your veins. This is the new day, and you can now see the new place.
