Good morning and HAPPY MONDAY!
Today’s verse is a familiar one. I think it is one that can become almost TOO familiar at times. Too the point where we begin to overlook the depth of its instruction.
Not only are these words telling us NOT to worry, but these words are WRITTEN IN RED. This tells us that they were spoken, BY JESUS HIMSELF. Pause for a moment and take that in.
For me, that means those words are EXTRA IMPORTANT.
I saw this morning’s verse and the lyrics to this song immediately came to mind.
The scripture isn’t directly quoted in the song, but the Lord often ministers to me using music. It’s been that way since I was a very small child.
This is one of my all-time favorite verses.
For me, it is such a true reminder of the faithfulness of the Lord. One that is worth confessing, OFTEN.
Despite our inconsistencies, HE remains CONSISTENT. His love NEVER fails, His STRENGTH never waivers and He is our PRESENT help. BUT, it’s up to us to accept Him as our own.
Similarly, a house can belong to someone, but if the person never comes to take possession of it. It just sits there.
It is a shell of what it could be.
Have you ever noticed how an empty house will eventually cave in on itself?

I looked up at it today and it sparked a thought. Sometimes you live, “in such a way,” but despite your best efforts they still talk and when we receive these criticisms, it can be a sharp blow. Your thoughts start to wonder:
This song has been on my heart since I woke up at around 4:30 this morning.
So powerful!
I pray it lifts your spirit and encourages you this morning 💖
[Verse 1]
The spirit of the Lord is upon me
His anointing is empowering
The Kingdom of the Lord is within me
And He’s calling me to the heavenlies
[Chorus]
Be seated in heavenly places
Just like Heaven, just like Heaven on Earth
To be walking in His favor and grace is
Just like Heaven, just like Heaven on Earth
Oh-oh-oh-oh Heaven, Heaven on Earth
Oh-oh-oh-oh Heaven
