He leads the humble (afflicted) in justice, And He teaches the humble (afflicted) His way.
Psalms 25:9 NASB
🌹God, who restores my soul and guides me in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake; I thank You for You are my rock and my fortress! For Your name’s sake lead me and guide me. Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a level path. Thank You for the privilege to walk in You, serve You and know You intimately. To Your glory I pray in Jesus name, amen.

Redeemer
As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.
Job 19:25 NASB
Most High God, my Redeemer, I acknowledge that You are my rock. Even now, Jesus is my witness who is in heaven, and my advocate on high. You are my strong Redeemer who will vigorously plead my case against those who try to rob my soul. I have bore Your indignation because I have sinned against You. Thank You, Jesus, for pleading my case before the Father and executing justice for me. You have brought me out to the light to see Your righteousness. My heart faints within me longing for the day when I myself shall behold, And my eyes will see my Redeemer take His stand on the earth. To You, Lord God, be the glory as I pray in the name of Jesus, my Redeemer. Amen.

Do You Know?
Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord. “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised—
Jeremiah 9:23â€-‬25 NASB
Circumcised in the flesh yet uncircumcised in the heart, in the spirit. Outwardly professing Christianity but inwardly living like the world.
Do you know that you know that you know?

Wise and Discerning
O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; From Me comes your fruit. Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them.
Hosea 14:8â€-‬9 NASB
🌹🙏 The works of Your hands are truth and justice; All Your precepts are sure. They are upheld forever and ever; They are performed in truth and uprightness.
The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
Psalms 111:7â€-‬8 NASB/Isaiah 26:7 NASB
In Jesus name and for His glory amen.

Gladness of Heart
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.
Psalms 89:14â€-‬17 NASB
Are you walking on the solid foundation of God’s righteousnes and justice, enjoying His lovingkindness and truth resonating in and through you?
Our walk with Almighty God is not for “a moment”. A moment of our need. A moment when we are suffering or in despair. Our walk with God is for all the moments, momentS that continue into eternity.
God, how blessed are we who walk in the light of Your countenance and rejoice in Your name ALL day long. It is by Your righteousness alone that we are exalted, for we have no righteousness of our own. You, Lord God, are the glory of our strength. By Your favor we are filled with joy that overflows to others.
🌹With trumpets and the sound of the horn Shout joyfully before the King, the Lord.
Psalms 98:6 NASB
Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

Sing
Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.

Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
For the word of the Lord is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness.
Psalms 33:3â€-‬4 NASB
🌹He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord .

My Savior
My Unity
My Sustainer
My Compassion
My Holiness
My Righteousness
My Inspiration
My Shepherd
My Truth
None of these do I possess but by Your love and righteousness.
Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.
John 5:19 NASB
I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
John 15:5 NASB
If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

70 Years!?
The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 12:20
Recently I’ve heard, “I am so tired of this Covid thing” or, “I am so over this, I am ready to go back to normal”.
What is normal? Living life for me, me, me?
God has a plan. He had a plan for Israel when they went into captivity in Egypt for 70 years. He had a plan when He sent them again into captivity in Babylon under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar.
What is God’s plan? “So you will know that I am the Lord”.
Contentment can be found in nothing less than Almighty God. Contentment can be found during desolation and captivity when our hearts belong to Him. Our focus is on God.
“All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’
Daniel 4:35†NASB
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
Daniel 4:37 NASB
(Nebuchadnezzar’s testimony is in Daniel 4. You might want to read it).
🌹Are you humbly focused on God and His will? If this Covid lifestyle should last 70 years you can be content in Him?

Joy
You, O Lord, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation. Lamentations 5:19 NASB
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.
Psalms 45:6â€-‬7 NASB
Are you anointed with the oil of joy?
There is much joy to be found in knowing God is eternally seated on His throne. Our God who rules in righteousness and justice and love.
On awakening this morning and checking on the hurricane hitting the Louisiana and Texas coast, I read “this could have been so much worse”. Were you praying for the people in the path of this storm? God answered prayer. It may not have been the way we wanted but it was better than expected. Did you thank Him for His mercy in this situation?
As numbers seem to be rising in Covid cases, are you turning to, relying on the One who sits upon the eternal throne? God has this. Are you abiding in His strong tower? Is He your refuge?
But You, O Lord, abide forever, And Your name to all generations.
Psalms 102:12 NASB
God is your only hope in a world seeking their own way, truth and life. Jesus is the only way, truth and life and no one comes to the throne of the Father but by Him. Can you rejoice in that? Can you enter into the Holy of holies and bow before the throne? If not it is time to bow down in surrender to God and His will. That is where real joy is found even when everything around you is falling down.
“But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.
Psalms 102:27 NASB
Hallelujah!
🌹The joy of the Lord is our strength.

I Surrender
For thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land At this time, And will cause them distress, That they may be found.” Jeremiah 10:18 NASB
“I will cause them distress, that they may be found (Lit. find)
What is it that the Lord wants us to find?
I know, O Lord, that a man’s way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps. Correct me, O Lord, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. Jeremiah 10:23â€-‬24 NASB
Realize that we can do nothing, have nothing, are nothing without God. After all, He is the one who created us.
When we wander too far into ourselves we are lost and become dependent upon ourselves. It is at this time God saves us through His justice and punishment. Calling us to repentance and surrender to His will and purpose.
🌹 Are we still fighting the Almighty or surrendering to His will, His way, His purpose?
