Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.


Colossians 3:16 Remember what Christ taught, and let His words enrich your lives and make you wise.


Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


Proverbs 3:23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.


Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.


Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.


May the terror of God fall on those who would oppose you so that no one will resist you as you obey the Lord. Genesis 35


May you not stop when you come to Beth-el, the house of God, in your journey, lest you lean solely upon what is seen and know only the traditions and customs. But continue to El-Bethel to find the God of the house, by Whom you can be comforted in your losses and in Whom you will rejoice over His promises. Genesis 35


May you see, and be content with, the fact that, though the children of this world have the goods and riches of the world's prosperity and power, they have no hope beyond what is seen. The children of the promise, though strangers in a strange land, destined to become bond-slaves, appear to have nothing that they can call their own, still yet have the hope which is given by the covenant, the unbreakable Word of God, Who will never forsake His own. Genesis 36


Learn of Me so that you can recognize Me wherever you see Me. 

It may be in My handiwork of a sunset or sunrise, a mountain vista or a running stream, or in the eyes of My servants, the steps of My followers, the deeds of My disciples, as they are about My Father's business. 

The Pharisees and priests were well-studied in the law and revered the Scriptures, but they were destroyed because they did not know ME when I walked with them. 

I have pardoned your iniquity, casting all your sin behind My back, so that you may live through Me. Know Who I am, remember what I have done, and rehearse what you have received from My hand. That way, when you seek Me, you will know when you have found Me. 

Learn to look for the Lamb, and proclaim Him when you see Him, that you may minister to Him Who is the joy of the Father, so you may live.


May you seek, reverence, and obey the Lord who desires that you show mercy and directs you away from tradition, so that you will not despise the innocent or disregard the One who is greater, more exalted, and more majestic than His temple, as Jesus urged the Pharisees when His disciples gathered wheat on the Sabbath. Matthew 12


May you walk in mercy, as the Lord is merciful, disregarding traditions of men for the sake of the lost sheep He sends you to, demonstrating to them their value in God's eyes. Matthew 12


May you be ready to help, to spare, and to forgive the people God brings to you, moving beyond mere traditions, even though you lose your acceptance among the tradition keepers, for then you will be doing the will of the Father. Matthew 12


May you let the love of God flow through you and motivate you to demonstrate the Father's heart in your speech and action, your words and deeds. Then you will dwell in God's sanctuary and live upon His holy hill, never to be moved from God's presence. Psalm 15


May you preserve sound judgment and discernment, not letting them out of your sight for they will be life for your inner self, and an ornament to grace your outer self. Thus you may go along your way in safety, for you will not stumble off the trail, and you will not be afraid when you lie down, for your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:21-25


May you have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. Proverbs 3:26
