Good morning, Lord Jesus. You're One with the Father, One with the Holy Spirit. Be One within me today, as I entrust my life completely to You, as best as I can and all by Your grace.
"I keep the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure" (Psalm 16:8-9).
God, you are always before me, always encouraging me, strengthening me, inspiring me, and empowering me. You are Emmanuel -- the God who is always with me (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). And by the abiding presence of Your Holy Spirit, You're always here within me (Romans 8:9).
That's why my heart is glad and my soul rejoices. That why I don't lose heart and my hope doesn't fail. There's nothing I'll ever face that You've not already faced and nothing I'll ever endure that You've not already endured -- all on my behalf, all because You're for me, all because You love me. "Let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:14-15).
Because You areimmovable, I can be immovable in You. Because You are unshakeable, I can be unshakable in You. That gives me hope. And that steadies my soul in all that is going on around me and gives me peace, as live out my journey of today.
With You always before me and Your Spirit always within me, I shall not be moved. "I shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. I shall not fear when heat comes, and my leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought I am not anxious, and I do not cease to bear fruit" -- all in the power of Your grace (Jeremiah 17:8). When I read that passage over myself, it encourages my heart. It makes my soul rejoice and allows my body to rest secure, with my hope and faith secure in You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
My family, I pray you will read these Scriptures over and into you life! I pray you will not be moved, being firm and steadfast in your faith, even flourishing through whatever you endure. With the Lord Jesus ever before you, with our heavenly Father always embracing you, and His Holy Spirit always filling you, in Jesus' name! Please pray the same of me. God bless you, my friends!
