Morning At Last

Mat 6:31  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

As I’ve said in the past, I like to read Michael Q. Pink’s blog.  The following is a familiar scripture that his wife paraphrased for him to meditate on while he was traveling.  First off, how sweet that she would do that for him.  If more wives would strengthen their husbands and see themselves as part of what they were doing when they left home, it would strengthen their marriage bond.  (Conversely, men need to include their wives but that is a post for another day.)  Secondly, we all can share in the strength of this verse.  Simply begin to meditate on it for yourself.

The Lord is my Shepherd… therefore I want for nothing.

Because He loves me, He supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory.

He makes me to lie down in lush green pastures along the banks of cool still waters, giving me rest and restoring my soul by the washing of the water of His word.

He has given me the robe of righteousness to keep me on the right path.

And though I walk through the dark valley, I have no fear of evil; I have no fear of death, for He is with me, always giving me confidence, strength and comfort.

He gives me great favor and causes me to triumph over my enemies.

His anointing over me fills my cup to overflow.

His goodness and His mercy follow me all the days of my life on Earth, and then I am privileged and abundantly blessed to live in His house forever.

Amen!
