“THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“Trust in Adonai, and do good; settle in the land, and feed on faithfulness. Then you will delight yourself in Adonai, and he will give you your heart’s desire” (Psalm 37:3-4).

Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in His eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God, and you will dwell in the land, feasting on His faithfulness.

Find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh, and He will give you what you desire the most in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
