Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.
What are we hearing or what have we heard? Sometimes it’s good to stop for a minute and check whose voice we’re listening to inside our own heads. If they’re depressing, negative thoughts then we’ll recognise the enemy has been at work, trying to infiltrate our minds. If that’s the case then God wants to help us ‘hear’ something else today.🙂The Holy Spirit is talking to us all the time and because He is the God of Hope and Comfort it will be positive and uplifting. It may be challenging, or be a word of warning or correction but it will never be to condemn us or bring us down or make us feel defeated. God wants to bring us up higher all the time, to be victors not victims.
God reminds us that He has crowned us with His loving kindness and tender mercies. That means we can walk with our head held high so our crown stays on. If we’ve been looking down we’ve forgotten God gave us a crown to wear and we need to metaphorically put it back on again! I’m listening!🙂
God tells us His favour surrounds us like a shield, that it lasts for a lifetime! Wow God is favouring us wherever we go, when we enter a room, go for an interview or just go shopping. We all appreciate it when we find a good deal in a shop and it’s the favour of God on our lives. Let’s hear and believe it.🙂
God tells us we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We’re His masterpiece, made for His glory, we’re made in His image and He approves and accepts us in Jesus His Son. Listen to what He says about our sins - Hebrews 8:12 And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins. Hallelujah, He is not holding our sins against us! He’s made us righteous. Thank You Lord.
And best of all, His love is wrapped around us and He won’t change His mind, because it’s forever.
So….We are indeed highly favoured, greatly blessed and deeply loved by God.
Praise Your Name Lord and help us ‘hear’ and believe what You say, especially when we feel down. Amen.
