Today’s Reading:
Psalm 115
Psalm 116
John 1
So trust in the Lord, all his people. For he is the only true hero, the wraparound God who is our shield! You, his priests, trust in the Lord. For he is the only true hero, God-wrapped-around-us as our shield. Yes, all his lovers who bow before him, trust in the Lord. For he is our only true hero, God-wrapped-around-us as our shield. The Lord will never forget us in our need; he will bless us indeed! He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron, his priest.
Psalms 115:9-12 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
I have defeated the grave. Why should you fear death? I reign victorious over all creation, why should you fear mere man? Trust in My promises. Trust in My Word. Trust in My guiding. It is sure. Rest assured in Me. As a child lays its head on its parent’s chest in perfect rest and confidence, lay your life upon Me. Rest is your portion. Peace is your portion. Victory after victory after miraculous victory is your portion.
God himself will fill you with more. Blessings upon blessings will be heaped upon you and upon your children from the maker of heaven and earth, the very God who made you!
Psalms 115:14-15 TPT
Don’t live in fear. Don’t cower or dismay. I Am your Guide, your Source, your Light and your Shield. Whom or what shall you fear? Blessed assurance, all is at rest. Be at rest. Be in perfect, unbroken communion with your Savior King Jesus. Nothing is to be feared. Nothing is to shake you. Your Savior King has won every victory. Rest in Him. Delight in Him. Fully obey and be endlessly loyal to Him. Your portion is fullness, fulfillment, blessing, delight and rest. Don’t settle for less. Don’t believe for less. Engage your faith, and your trust in the Lord. Engage your love for Him and His enduring love; and pull down, pull through every promise, every dream, every hope, every ambition.
In the beginning the Living Expression was already there. And the Living Expression was with God, yet fully God. They were together—face-to-face, in the very beginning. And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him! A fountain of life was in him, for his life is light for all humanity. And this Light never fails to shine through darkness— Light that darkness could not overcome!
John 1:1-5 TPT
Be at rest. Work diligently and in great joy, but be at rest in your soul, because your Lord God Almighty has gone before you to prepare the way. And He has prepared great delights for you. Along the path of your faithfulness is where you find them. Trust in Him. Rest in Him. Commune with Him, and delight in Him. There is no substitute. No substitute exists. He is the way, the truth and the life. All favor, blessing, grace, peace and rest can be found in Him, with Him and through Him. It comes from Him. And it is in His Name, King Jesus.
How to Respond
- Bless the Lord and get your mindset and heart in alignment with His overcoming victory and the rest and blessing that is your portion.
- Pray, Lord Jesus thank You for Your incredible, limitless love for me. Thank You for making a way for me when there was no way, when I was yet a sinner. Thank You for breaking open the path and for washing me white as snow. Help me to live in the reality for which You paid the full price. I want to live full of confidence, love, joy, peace, favor, blessing and in the unbridled delight of You.
- Declare, Now I can say to myself and to all, “Relax and rest, be confident and serene, for the Lord rewards fully those who simply trust in him.” —Psalms 116:7 TPT
- Decree, The Lord is faithful and true. He has made a way where there was no way. My portion is rest, victory, delight in the Lord and promises fulfilled. My role is trust, obey, pursue Him with all my heart and rest in His faithfulness.
