The Righteous Will Never Be Forsaken

I was young and now I am old,

yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken

or their children begging bread.

[Psalms 37:25, NIV]

 

When David shared these words, he was encouraging the good men who may envy the wicked, for it appeared that despite the wrongdoings of the wicked, they were still prospering. David was speaking from his experience, and was speaking of what happens in the long run.

There are times when you may find yourself in need of physical things, in need of direction, or you are in low spirits. You shall not be left alone. Your Loving Father will uphold you with His comforts, give you wisdom, and be the strength of your heart when your flesh and heart fail. His plans are to give you the future you hope for. He will never leave you nor forsake you. 

Even as you do good and follow the ways of the Lord, your Loving Father, who is a rewarder, will never forsake you.

 

Prayer: My Loving Father, I give you glory and honour today. I know that when I call upon you, you hear me. You have never forsaken the righteous. I know that You will never forsake me. Thank You, Heavenly Father, for the hope and assurance I have in You. Be glorified and exalted, my Father, Amen.

The Name Of The Lord Is A Strong Tower

The name of the LORD is a strong tower;

the righteous run to it and are safe.

[Proverbs 18:10, NIV].

The Old Testament has various references where the name of the Lord denoted something of essence. For instance, the name of God is Elohim - the Creator. You can declare that God is Creator of everything, that He created you fearfully and wonderfully, and for good works for His glory. You can read more on the applications of the names of God here.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower for you, where you may take rest when you are weary, and where you may be lifted up above enemies and be fortified against them. There is enough in the name of God. There is comfort, health, wealth, protection and provision in the name of God.

You now in New Testament times know the full name that is the name above all others. God gave Jesus Christ the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father. Jesus' name is to you the source of salvation, a source of strength, and a source of safety. His name is a strong tower. When you call upon His name, and when you run to His name, you can be sure He will meet you at your point of faith. In Him you have everything that seemed to be in part in the different names of God.

Prayer: Thank You Heavenly Father that Your name is a strong tower where I find my peace and safety. Thank You Father, that I can call upon the name of Jesus Christ, the name above every other name, and everything, every situation, every challenge will bow down to the name of Jesus Christ. I declare that Jesus is Lord over my life. I thank You Lord for answered prayers, for in Jesus Name I have prayed, Amen.

Whatever You Decree Shall Be Established

You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light (of God's favor) shall shine upon your ways.

[Job 22:28, AMP]

Today your Loving Father says to you, "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you." To decree means to decide (reach, make, or come to a conclusion about something) with authority. There are certain situations that are not welcome in your life but seem like they plan to stay. It is time to reach a conclusion about such situations. It is time to decide in agreement with the word of God, and decree. You have the authority. This authority is your authority in Jesus Christ. God, your Loving Father is ready to back you.

It is also time to decree a thing concerning your future. Whatever you decree, in line with the will and word of God, it shall be established for you. God will guide and direct you, and then it will follow that He will prosper and make you succeed in all you do. God’s wisdom shall be your guide, His favour your comfort, and your ways shall be so under the light of God's wisdom and favour that you will enjoy what is present and a comfortable prospect of what is to come. Decree today with words, in faith and by prayer.

Suggestions for Prayer: Take out time to make decrees and declarations concerning any matter that can come to your remembrance. Pray that God will reveal to you areas where you need to make decrees, both for yourself and others.
