Psalm 31:24 “Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.”

Beloved,

Settle down for a minute. Listen to the song that is being sung over you. It is a simple song of hope and love, and in the midst of it all, you are rescued from yourself.

Release joy over yourself. You have the authority and the ability. Choose His joy, that you might be strengthened in your hope. Standing on higher ground your eyes become accustom to the view, and you see further than you every have before. Grow in this, that you might be mature in all your ways, for there will be many that stand hopeless in their situation and you will answer them with the joy of the Lord. Hope rooted in God’s joy is fertile ground, rich in the nutrients necessary for growth. You will flourish in the House of the Lord. Seek those things that are of good report, the testimonies of those before you that experienced the goodness of God when they were desperate to hope.

Bright is your day before you. The light shines brighter than ten thousand suns and glory surrounds you. The Bridegroom sings over you today, of things that are constant and never failing. Unlike sin and the darkness seeking to entrap you, that is temporary but God is eternal. The song has words that only you know, for they were written on your heart long ago. That is why it sounds familiar to you, a song sung long ago by a mother or father doting on his or her child. You are a child of God, no matter the circumstance of an earthly parent. He calls His sons and daughters to His side, and He never relents until He has found you. Put weariness aside this morning. Stretch out on the ground, laying your head in the crook of His arm and He will take all of your tiredness.

He is right on time. Jesus is the friend that never fails, it is in His promises. Remain in His love always, though the day grows dark and cold, His light and warmth are but a breath away. His words will comfort you in all events, equipping you with the hope necessary to overcome every obstacle. God will instill in you the ability to heal others of their circumstance, of any sickness whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. His oil is freshly pressed and runs down your frame covering every wound, every hurt and He kisses you with the words of His mouth. Today know that He brings you hope, walking with you in the cool of the evening. Each step, you feel His strength growing in you. Every step of the way.
