WORD OF GOD - PS 52:8-9

PSALM 52:8-9

But I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever.

I will thank you forever,
because of what you have done.
In the presence of the faithful
I will proclaim your name, for it is good.

---- my own,

Never forget for an instant that you are Mine, called by My Name, carved on the palm of My Hand. You are the branch that is attached to Me, the Vine. The Father is the Vinedresser and there will be times in your life that are difficult, and painful, there will be great suffering as well, during these times the greatest growth takes place. When they arise, be still and know that I AM God. And when the time of tribulation has passed as you discover that I was with you every moment of your suffering because I AM always faithful, testify to the world of how good God has been to you, testify to My unfailing love for you.

WORD OF GOD - LK 1:52-54

LUKE 1:52-54

He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly;
he has filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy.

---- mine

Keep this in mind always, the ways of the world are contrary to the ways of My Father. All that is eternal, all that is ordained by God, all that My Father wills is a sign of contradiction to those who feed at the fleshpots of the world. The only things that the world offers bring decay and death to the soul. Live the Beatitudes and you will see the proud, the haughty, the powerful, brought down and the poor, the lowly, the obedient, the anawim of God, raised up. Model your life on the disciple par-excellence, My Mother and yours, and you will never be sent away empty for the Lord loves those who trust Him and keep their eyes fixed on Him. Fear nothing. I, the Lord, your God, am with you now and forever.
