Psalm 18:1 (NRSV) — 1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.

I love You, O Lord my … …

Psalm 16:11 (NRSV) — 11 You show me the path of life. In your presence 

there is fullness of joy; 

in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Where is your path of life leading right now? Do you sense the fullness of His Joy in you? 

In His Right Hand are pleasures forevermore … what are they for you?

Rejoice in our Lord—for He is good!

Psalm 13:6 (NRSV) — 6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

How has our Lord dealt bountifully with you? 

Count the ways today and sing songs of bountiful praise!

Psalm 12:6 (NRSV) 

The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure, 

silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

God’s Word is pure, proved and preserved and you can depend upon it. 

Much of the words we hear in the world are cheap and temporary 

whereas God’s Word is valuable and lasting. 

May your words be influenced by His Word and your words made valuable in His Sight.

Psalm 8:1 (NRSV) — 1 O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

His Name is Majestic! He has set His Glory high! 

We praise Him from earth unto Eternity! 

O Lord! How Majestic is Your Name!

Psalm 4:8 (NRSV) I will both lie down and sleep in peace; 

for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety.

We may not be able to do much about the war that rages outside us but we can commit our inner battles to our Lord and subsequently sleep in peace.

Today Dailies Blogspot begins a new series focusing on one or two lines from the Psalms of encouragement! The Psalms address our emotions attached to the ups and downs of life and because God is with us through these we have the privilege of always—well usually—

being filled with His Joy. 

The first Daily is quite long … the rest will resume normal format! Be blessed! Amen.

Psalm 3:3 (NRSV) But you, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, 

and the one who lifts up my head.

Once upon a time I went through a low season of breast cancer treatment. 

This psalm and the Jars of Clay song lifted my head and my spirits every day. 

Just as it does today in a new season of ‘low’.

Give to the wind your fear

Hope and be undismayed

God hears your sighs and counts your tears

God will lift up

God will lift up

Lift up your head

[Chorus]

God will lift up your head

God will lift up your head

God will lift up your head

He will lift up, lift up your head

Leave to His sovereign way

To choose and to command

Then shall we wandering on His way

Know how wise and how strong

How wise and how strong

[Chorus]

Through waves and clouds and storms,

He gently clears the way

Wait because in His time, so shall this night

Soon end in joy,

Soon end in joy

Soon end in joy,

Soon end in joy.

[Chorus]

Psalm 28:7 (The Message) He proved he’s on my side; I’ve thrown my lot in with him. 

Now I’m jumping for joy, and shouting and singing my thanks to him.

Psalm 23:3 (The Message)  True to your word, you let me catch my breath and 

send me in the right direction.

Holy Spirit indwells you ... how can you not shine forth His Beauty?

Bill Johnson says: you won't have to watch what you say

if you watch what you think!

It is by His wounds that we are healed ...

believe and receive today!

Love puts eternity into life. 

Love lasts and what love does will last. 

Love is the greatest and does the greatest because 'God is love'.

He honors you - all the time!

I am blessed with the best of friends!

Prepare for the brook of blessing that leads you onto

the highway of holiness.

These are signs of the breakthrough you have been praying for.

He hems you before and behind.

Who is your strength and shield?

Let you heart rejoice in Him and sing a song of praise to Him!

Father, I am so grateful that You chart the path ahead of me. 

You direct me by Your Spirit, You orchestrate the seasons of my life, 

and You lead and guide me. There’s not a moment that You don’t know where I am, 

nor is there a moment You don’t know my next step, 

and I take great comfort in that. 

Thank you for establishing my way, today and every day. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

How I love to walk in the ways of our Lord! 

The powerful simplicity of our Christian life!

See your life through the spiritual eyes of God.

Romans 8:28 (NCV)  We know that in everything God works for the good 

of those who love him. They are the people he called, because that was his plan.

Jehovah Rapha - God our Healer regards your scars as sacred scars

just as Jesus' scars are sacred scars.

Our God is a good, good God.

Rule #1 of warfare prayer!

We pray from the point of victory.

Jesus has won the victory.

Today we begin a series of images from authors who have become close to my heart 

since moving to Canada ... I hope you are as encouraged as I have been.
