PSALM 138:6-8 (2025)

PSALM 138:6-8

From above, the Lord watches over the lowly; 

from afar, he marks down the haughty.

If I walk in the midst of trouble, you give me life. 

With outstretched arm, you save me from the wrath of my foes, 

with your right hand, you deliver me. 

How the Lord cares for me! 

Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. 

Forsake not the work of your hands.

---- mine,

Take to heart these words of the psalmist; they are for you and for those you love, and for whom you are earnestly praying night and day. I know the struggles that each of them is going through. I also know how much you are suffering and grieving because they are facing difficult times. The cross grows heavy, they are weary, and they ask, "How much longer, O Lord?" To them and to you I say today, 'Take heart, do not be anxious. For only as long as is necessary will they have to carry the cross laid on them now. It is one that is needful to purify, strengthen, and make them grow in fortitude and teach them to trust in Me in all circumstances. Even though it may seem to them that they are alone and I seem distant, it is not so. I AM closer to them than I ever was. I carry their cross with them. I have My arms wrapped around them. I ache because they are struggling to hold tightly on to their faith in Me, trusting that in the end I will work all things for their good, and I will. But anxiety creeps in as the days run into weeks and their prayers remain unanswered, or so it may seem. Nothing ever goes to waste in the Kingdom of God. I use it all for it is through trials, tribulations, grief, and suffering that they are purified and made strong, just as steel is tempered, and silver and gold are purified in the fiery furnace. Be at peace. Soon, the words of the psalmist will be their own hymn of praise and thanksgiving to Me. Have faith! I have overcome the world. 

ISAIAH 25:9-10 (2025)

ISAIAH 25:9-10

On this mountain God will destroy the pall cast over all peoples, 

this very shroud spread over all nations, 

and death will be no more. 

The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all cheeks and eyes; 

he will take away the humiliation of his people all over the world: 

for the Lord has spoken. 

On that day you will say: This is our God. 

We have waited for him to save us, 

let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 

For on this mountain the hand of God rests.

---- mine,

Do not be afraid. Do not let your heart be troubled when you look at all that is going on in the world. Nations against nations, leaders bought and sold by the powerful who are only interested in their own personal gain at the expense of the little ones, the forgotten, those who are outcasts, discriminated against, and rendered helpless and voiceless. Let not your heart be troubled. I see all, I hear all, and I make a record of every injustice, every blow of the enemy. I see every life snuffed before its time. I know how far the works of the enemy have spread like a shroud over all the earth, and the life of the Spirit is being smothered by the godless, idolaters, and those who worship the transient things of the world. The innocent cry out to Me for vengeance, and the upright are wondering where God is. Is asleep, does not hear? How much longer will the enemy prevail over the good, the innocent, the faithful, the poor? Do not lose heart, this is the final hour of evil let loose over all the earth. The final battle is gathering momentum. The devil believes that he has won the battle for hearts, minds, and souls. But you know the Truth, the victory was won when God, nailed to the Cross, bled into the earth and claimed it forever. Every soul has been ransomed. My Life was the recompense for the life of every sinner. The debt is paid completely. The Father of Lies knows this, but he continues to spread his falsehoods, and many are tricked into believing that evil has won. But this is a lie from the deceiver. the murderer, the destroyer. The victory is won, the battle lines are drawn between good and evil, and before too long, the Enemy will be crushed and annihilated, and My reign of peace will begin. Continue to pray with hope, and do not worry, I will wipe away every tear, I will heal all wounds, and I will establish My Kingdom in every heart.
