Today’s Reading:
Psalm 42
Psalm 103
Psalm 107
Isaiah 61
With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me? You kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I’ve done. You’ve healed me inside and out from every disease. You’ve rescued me from hell and saved my life. You’ve crowned me with love and mercy. You satisfy my every desire with good things. You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky! You’re a God who makes things right, giving justice to the defenseless.
Psalms 103:1-6 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Maximize confidence in Me. This is faith — maximized confidence in Me. Live with a holy, unshakeable belief that My character is unchanging and that I will do what I said I will do. I’m not a quid pro quo God. My Word binds Me, and I love to speak promises of blessing over My children. Some of those promises are contingent. The most frequent contingency you will find from Me is belief, is faith, is standing when there’s no understanding.
Because you received a double dose of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portion of endless joy and everlasting bliss! “For I, Yahweh, love fairness and justice, and I hate stealing and sin. I will rightly repay them because of my faithfulness and enter into an everlasting covenant with them. Their seed will be famous among the nations, and their descendants the center of attention of the people. All who see them will recognize that they are the seed that Yahweh has blessed with favor!”
Isaiah 61:7-9 TPT
My Word binds Me. My love binds Me. I contractually bind Myself to be good to you, because that’s who I Am. I delight to do good for you. I delight to bless you. I cherish you. You are My dearly loved child, so have faith in Me. Hold fast to My Word. Though it may tarry, though it may look like delay, I will come through for you. I always have, and I always do. Don’t get caught up in what things look like. Don’t set your eyes on the circumstance. Get in front of the enemy’s lies and decree what I said. Remind your heart and mind and body over and over again of My faithfulness and of My promises pending. Call them forth with these declarations of faith, with these reminders to your own heart, mind, ears and spirit that I have come through for you. I have always come through for you, and I will always come through for you.
So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness and for his miracles of mercy for those he loves! Bring your praise as an offering and your thanks as a sacrifice as you sing your story of miracles with a joyful song.
Psalms 107:21-22 TPT
My goodness, My Word and My intentions of blessing toward you never change. Get your heart, your mind, your eyes and your words in alignment with My promises, and call them forth. This is the time of blessing.
How to Respond
- Recount to yourself out loud moments of God’s faithfulness. Recount His promises that you have not yet seen come to pass. Call them forth.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for reminding me Your faithfulness. Thank You for helping me to recall those moments that can only point to You. Help me to remember the promises that You have spoken over my life. I desire to position myself in faith to receive every promise and every blessing.
- Declare, But Lord, your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear you and those who bow facedown in awe before you. Your faithfulness to keep every gracious promise you’ve made passes from parents, to children, to grandchildren, and beyond. You are faithful to all those who follow your ways and keep your word.
Psalms 103:17-18 TPT - Decree, Lord, You have been so good to me. You have rescued me and protected me. You have healed me and set me free more times than I can count. Lord, I am standing in belief that You are who You say You are — my good good Father, my strong tower, my protector, my provider, my promoter. You are where my help comes from. You are the giver of every good and perfect gift, and Your plans for me are for my good — to give me a future and a hope. All of Your promises are yes and amen. I call forth every blessing, every promise, every ounce of goodness that You desire to give me. I say to my soul — don’t be discouraged, don’t be dismayed, my God will break through for me. Then I’ll have plenty of reasons to praise Him all over again! Yes, He is my saving grace! (Psalm 42:11)
