“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.” Psalm 51:10-13 ESV
SIT AT MY TABLE
I hear the Lord saying today, “My child, come to Me just as you are! I know you are tired and I see the weariness. Worry has sought to rob you of the joy of today, so I ask you to trust Me and allow the sweetness of My presence to wash over you like the refreshing rain! Come sit at My table and dine with Me!
“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” Luke 12:25 ESV
“Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.” Job 36:16 BSB
DARE TO DREAM AGAIN!
“There are treasures that I long to share with you! I have new wonders to explore and new adventures I have prepared and planned for you! I see the longings of your heart! Yea, it is I who planted them there! Allow Me to fan those longings back to life!” Yea, I ask of you, “Dare to dream again! Dare to trust again! Do not look to what once was, for I have new things for you!”
LET YOUR HOPES ARISE!
“Shake off regret and past disappointments and see that a new day and a new chapter awaits you! Let your hopes arise once again! Shake off despair, for it will not serve you on the road ahead. Your story is still being written and new destinies and callings are on the horizon! Dare to dream again and allow Me to restore to you the Joy of your salvation! Put your hand in Mine as we journey forward together!“, says the Lord of the Harvest.
“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:12-14 ESV
This word felt exactly like He was talking directly to me. I am weary but have not given up. I need the joy of the Lord restored to me. I need to press forward. Restore the joy of the Lord once again in Jesus name. Amen
