Psalm 31:23-24 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Thanking the name above all names today! Jesus is the most beautiful name I know. God is gracious, merciful, compassionate, and all powerful. There is power in His name! It does not matter if it is shouted from the roof-tops or whispered in a barely audible voice, the name of the Lord is powerful. Just the whisper of His name can make mountains move! No matter what is happening in the lives of His saints, all the saints are encouraged to love Him.
He takes care of all, but especially those who stay close to Him. He pays back all those who are arrogant enough to 'go it alone'; those that do it their way. How do I know? Well, I've been in both "seats", as it were, therefore I know. :-)
Pay-backs are tough! It's always worth it to stay humble. Through it all though, God is merciful. He takes the repentant heart and calls it to be brave, strong, and to never give up.
At all times God is everywhere, but sometimes we can feel that He is far away. I want to encourage you today. Expect God to come to the rescue. He is right beside you, always near. He may have you on hold, but don't hang up! Wait patiently for Him. He will get back to you. And, all the while, He is working His plan in your life. He may be answering someone else's call right now, but He still has got you on His mind. He never fails! He protects the faithful.
Be brave. Be strong. Stand still. See the salvation of the Lord fulfilled in your life.
