Psalms 23:6 “Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

Goodness and love are following you; will you pause long enough to partake of this goodness and love? Pause and welcome the goodness of the Lord. Pause and receive from His love, mercy and strength for your today.

Psalms 34:8 “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.”

The Lord is so good. His love is everlasting. Do you recognize the goodness of God all around you?

James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”

How refreshing it is to recognize the goodness of the Lord. It’s like a breath of fresh air that brings praise to your lips...

Psalms 63:3 “Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.”

There is nothing better than the Lord your God. No one can compare to His goodness and faithfulness.

Psalms 103:1 “Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.”

Bless the Lord at all times; continuously praise Him for His goodness to you all today.

Psalms 113:3 “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.”

Be encouraged by His Grace,

Psalms 55:5 “Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.”

The initial shock of receiving the news of an overwhelming circumstance can set you back. You may wish that you could just get away from it all.

Psalms 55:6-7 “I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest- I would flee far away and stay in the desert;”

David who was very close to God wanted to escape. You or someone you know may feel the desire to escape from problems and pressures. Even if you did have wings and could fly away, the problem wouldn’t change because you took off. The key here is not to escape, but instead to wait. Wait upon the Lord.

Isaiah 40:28-31 “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

You can receive newness of strength knowing that you are not to be in the middle trying to arrange the outcome. Just as the eagle sores above the storm clouds in the perfect flow of air gliding over the storm, you too can rise above the storms of life and sore over the problems and the pressures knowing God is in control, not you.

Psalm 55:16-17 “But I call to God, and the LORD saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.”

Make the quality decision to call upon the Lord all day long, give Him all your burdens. For He cares for you affectionately and watches over you all day and all night!

Psalms 55:22. “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.”

Praise God for His faithfulness. The next time you have an overwhelming pressure, run to Him and wait.

Be encouraged by His grace today!
