Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Psalm 100:2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

 

Isaiah 45:3  I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name

 

Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

 

Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

 

Revelation 3:11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

 

Romans 15:13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

May you recognize God's abundance is yours and, when others dispute with you, may you yield in a spirit of grace and walk away in a spirit of peace, for God will give you room and cause you to flourish in the land. Genesis 26

 

May you let the reverent worship of, and respectful obedient awe toward, the Lord replace the uneasy turmoil concerning, and the worrying regard about, what men will think and what actions people will take toward you. Just as you rest securely in the Lord, He will bless you and will increase your authority in Him, giving you the victory over the world and making you an overcomer in His kingdom. Genesis 26

 

May you rest assured and remain confident that God's promises are certain and His purposes shall be accomplished. Though Isaac preferred Esau for his outdoors skills and hunting success, God preferred Jacob for the desires of his heart and his hunger for the things of God. His promise at their birth that the elder shall serve the younger came to be, even though the schemes of people caused unnecessary suffering and anxiety. Genesis 27

 

Giving is the expression of My loving nature, My chosen one. I am love, therefore I give. That which I am determines what I do. 

I have given you much, My child, including adoption into My family and partnership in My work. This is what allows you to both partake of My standards, through My indwelling Spirit, and bear My name, which represents My nature. In this manner is My image created and formed within your heart and mind. Yield to the impulses of My nature; give in to the urges of My love; comply with the leading of My Spirit; align your actions with the truths I give you from My Word. 

Do you have anything that others would want that I did not give you? Do you possess anything that would be of benefit to others that did not come from Me? My supply knows no shortage, My loved one, it only knows blockage; if you do not share what I have provided but hold on to what I have supplied you, I cannot give more. 

Dry bread and stale water do not have life and cannot attract others or satisfy appetites. Although you serve the dishes at the banqueting table, and though you labor in the kitchen in preparation, it is I who stocks the pantry with the goodness that satiates the soul-needs of the poor, the needy, the down-trodden, the abused, the neglected, the despondent, the abandoned, the rejected, the lonely, the wounded, the broken-hearted, the empty, the exhausted, the despairing, the confused, the wandering, the tormented, the suffering, all My lost sheep that I have given everything to redeem, rescue, and restore. 

Join Me in giving from My storehouse to those who will receive, and share with Me the joy of the labor accomplished.

 

May you see by the story of the paralytic that your sins are forgiven and you are accepted by God through faith in His Son, Jesus, rather than by anything you can do. Therefore, go in the assurance of the love of God, obeying Him for the joy of it, and be free from the striving to be worthy of all He gives you. He has already accepted you in Christ. Matthew 9

 

May you always be aware of your shortcomings and failings, your weaknesses and needs. Thus your joy may be full from the provisions of God as He willingly gives strength and grace, wisdom and understanding, stability and love, in abundant and ever-available supply. It is only as you know your own need that you will seek out the Lord, Who is full of mercy, for His answers, which are given generously and without reproach. Those who have no needs do not seek the Lord. Matthew 9

 

May you bring your affliction before the Lord so that He may hear your desire and encourage you, listening to your cry and defending you as your King, for ever and ever. In this way, man, who is of the earth, will terrify you no more and the principalities and powers of the air will perish from His land. Psalm 10
