PSALM 12:5-7 (2026)

PSALM 12:5-7

“Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
I will now rise up,” says the Lord;
“I will place them in the safety for which they long.”

The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,
silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.

You, O Lord, will protect us;
you will guard us from this generation forever.

---- my own,

Each day you come to Me long before dawn and make all your petitions known to Me, you bare your soul, you remind Me of My promises and My covenantal love with you. I want you to know this and engrave My promises on your heart so you will never be troubled, alarmed, anxious, or afraid. Rather, in such moments, you will look into your soul, be still, and recall that I have espoused you. You belong to Me, you are my bride, my little sister, and I am your Bridegroom, your Brother, your Friend, and your Savior and Redeemer. Look at the palms of My hands, and you will see your name etched deeply on them. I hear you, I know every storm that assails you and tosses you about, leaving you afraid. I also know that your fear is not for yourself but for those you love deeply. You fear for their safety, the loss of their immortal souls. I assure you that as long as you pray and fast for them, as long as you know that they are Mine just as much and in the same measure that you are Mine, all will be well, for I share the same relationship with them as with you. Why are you troubled? Why are you afraid? Have not all your past experiences of My love for you taught you that you can always trust Me for all your needs? Count your blessings. Recall all the times when I have delivered you and those you love so much from the most difficult situations, and praise and glorify Me, and your faith, hope, and trust in Me will grow and be strengthened. Be still and know that I AM God and that victory, glory, and power belong to the Lamb that was slain to redeem you and the whole world.

LUKE 7:48, 50 (2026)

LUKE 7:48, 50

Then Jesus said to the woman, 

“Your sins are forgiven.”

But Jesus again spoke to the woman, 

“Your faith has saved you; go in peace!”

---- my own,

What I said to the woman, I also say to you: take heart. Do not allow the storms to disturb your peace. You have come to Me. You have cried out to Me, and I heard you. I always hear you. I see your tears and wipe them away. I have given you an unmistakable sign that I AM present in the eye of the storm. Why do you look at the waves? Do not worry about the world, for nothing in it has power over those whom I have declared to be my own, and you are Mine. I claimed you before the foundation of the world was laid. I have given you a name. I have saved you, redeemed you. I strengthen you with My own Body, and I satisfy your thirst with My Blood. Why do you allow worry to weigh you down and rob you of your peace and joy, which are My gifts to you by the Holy Spirit? You grieve the Holy Spirit in you when you allow your anxieties, worries, and fears to disturb the peace that is My gift to you. It is My peace that I give you, not the peace that the world gives with its ephemeral and empty promises. It is I, the Son of the Living God, who has forgiven all your sins and made you a new creation. Continue to ponder My Word and let My Word fill you with light and life, for My Word is eternal and My promises are true. Faith has saved you, and faith continues to save you. Grow in it by trusting in Me completely and believe this - you are saved for life in Me now and forever.
