OUR JUSTICE WILL BE AS THE NOON DAY!

Psalm 37:5,6  "Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light and your justice as the noonday."

As we commit ourselves to the Lord, it becomes important to entrust everything to Him. Giving over our lives to His guidance and control. We need to trust that He can take better care of us than we can. It's good for us to role-over our concerns and live for God.

The noonday is the brightest time of the day, in which the Lord says is our justice. Also, our righteousness will be as the light; pure and revealing truth.

Let's be encouraged today, knowing that the Lord has all things in His hands, as we yield to Him with our trust!

LET'S BE FILLED WITH GOD'S GOODNESS!

Ephesians 3:17-19  "That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."

Once we believe in Christ and experience His wonderful love, we are able to experience the depths of that love. As we welcome Jesus to settle into our hearts, we make room for the supernatural to flow.

It is impossible to know the exact measure of God's love for us, but we can certainly receive it with an open heart. Let's explore the fullness of God, which holds His gifts for us!

GOD IS TRUTH - WE ARE TRUTH

1 John 3:18,19  "My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this, we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him."

As we love one another with caring words, we must also show loving actions and deeds. We can say many words that will not amount to anything if we are insincere. Action speaks very loudly, and sometimes more so than words. But the two together make for a perfect team to bring love into its fullness.

I encourage you today, to love with a pure heart, to tell the truth always, to let your words be without hypocrisy, and to let your actions speak for themselves. You will bless many, and also the Lord, by doing so!

MAY THE LORD GIVE YOU INCREASE!

Psalm 115:14, 15  "May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth."

God is trustworthy and desires to bless all those who trust in Him. He knows our heart's desires and our needs, and gives to us accordingly. Since the earth and the heavens are created by God, He can certainly bless His children. He owns all things. 

Let's be encouraged today in trusting God for His generous provisions!

THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH!

Psalm 37:11 " But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."

Jesus quoted Matthew 5:5, to confirm that His own life was an example of this psalm that King David wrote so many years before. Jesus took on meekness and humility to come to earth and die for us all. He indeed owns the earth, and through His death for us, we gained that inheritance as well.

This verse is for us today. Through Jesus, we are more than conquerors over the troubles in our lives during the entire time of our stay here on the earth. This is why we can delight in the abundance of peace He gives to us!

GOD WILL GIVE US REST!

Matthew 11:28-30  "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden light."

Rest is the release from all of the burdens we hold in this world. Whether it be religious, financial, or family responsibilities, they can all cause anxiety. The Lord is saying, "Come to Me." Let's respond to that call, take up His invitation, and therefore become lighter.

Let's encourage one another with the Scripture above. Today we have many burdens, but we can lay them at the feet of Jesus. He will make them light and give us rest for our souls!

TO LIVE IS CHRIST!

Phil. 1:21  "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

As far as the writer of this Scripture is concerned, he would experience gain in his own death because he would be with Christ. Isn't it true for all of us who believe? While we are living here on this earth, we live for Christ and serve Him. But when we die and go to heaven, it is a true gain since we will be with Him face to face forever. Imagine that!

What a great thought to meditate on today. Let's be encouraged and at peace with the reality of having the best of both worlds in Christ!
