Deuteronomy 32:4 ” He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God Who does no wrong, upright and just is He.”

He is the foundation you can build your life on.  He is fair and impartial with all His dealings.  Everything He  does is complete and flawless from beginning to end.  He will never be anything but totally honest with you.  Could you then put your trust in such a God?  I urge you today to give Him a chance …you will not be sorry.

Psalm 46:10 ” Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Though the Lord is too great to be fully understood, knowing Him to the very best of our ability is key in our relationship with Him.  For like any loving, intimate relationship…we should do less talking, and more listening.

Psalm 90: 17 ” May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us – Yes, establish the work of our hands.”

When you have favor of God…His kindness, delight, and support in all situations, you will  receive something else.  Because God’s favor rests on you, you will also have favor before men.  And there’s nothing more powerful than to find favor before God and man.

Psalm 25: 12 ” Who is the man that fears the Lord?”

The Psalmist says we are to be obsessed by God.  Not by the world…not by other people…not by anything other than the Lord.  We are to be totally dependent and devoted to God and to God only.  Like a tiny child’s awareness so absorbed in his mother,  that even if she’s out of sight, his mind is ever set on her. And if a problem arises, he looks immediately to her for help.

Joshua 24: 15 “…then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

A simple statement, but with  very profound and eternal consequences within it.  Has your family made such a commitment to serve God?  Have you consciously made a covenant with the Lord to worship Him, and Him only?  Then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.

Malachi 3:10 ” ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.’ “

I challenge you to examine the integrity of God.  Dare to consider His incorruptible virtues.  For if you truly believe God is who He says He is…then test Him.  “Give and it will be given to you.  A good measure, presses down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.  For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”  ( Luke 6:38)   Test Him, and you will find that you can not out give God.

Proverbs 6:23 ” For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life.”

We all want long life, health, and prosperity…but what does it take to achieve these things?  This verse states that we need to first accept instruction and discipline from the Lord, and then allow it to be assimilated and incorporated into every part of our life…and into every action and behavior .

Proverbs 25:28 ” Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control. “

When a city has no defenses…the enemy can come in – invading and conquering without opposition.  When we allow our inner self to act out without restraint…the enemy comes in also.  He comes in to overpower our dignity and flaunt our volatility.  He holds captive our discretion and boasts of our instability.

Psalm 66: 16 ” Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.”

As fellow Believers, we need to be recounting God’s creative activity in our lives to each other. Nothing encourages me more than hearing from a dear friend…and it’s even more special when they’re telling me about something great the Lord is doing in their life. Why do we keep such wonderful news to ourselves rather than sharing God’s goodness with others? Brighten someone’s life today and share what God’s doing for you.
