SEPTEMBER 27 – MEDITATE

9/27 Psalm 134
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. Oh, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, you who serve as night watchmen in the house of the LORD. 2 Lift your hands in holiness, and bless the LORD. 3 May the LORD, who made heaven and earth, bless you from Jerusalem.
MEDITATE
We need times when we are alone with the Lord. We can think about Him, His wonderful greatness, His amazing love for us, bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless the Lord.

SEPTEMBER 26 – LOVE

9/26 Psalm 133
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when brothers live together in harmony! 2 For harmony is as precious as the fragrant anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. 3 Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And the LORD has pronounced his blessing, even life forevermore.
LOVE
We are to love one another. Harmony is our goal. Peace reigns, God’s peace. That is what we want to promote in our life. Love one another as the Lord Jesus loves you.

SEPTEMBER 25 – LORD

9/25 Psalm 132:8-18
Arise, O LORD, and enter your sanctuary, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. 9 Your priests will be agents of salvation; may your loyal servants sing for joy. 10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you chose for your people. 11 The LORD swore to David a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne. 12 If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and follow the decrees that I teach them, then your royal line will never end.” 13 For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem ; he has desired it as his home. 14 “This is my home where I will live forever,” he said. “I will live here, for this is the place I desired. 15 I will make this city prosperous and satisfy its poor with food. 16 I will make its priests the agents of salvation; its godly people will sing for joy. 17 Here I will increase the power of David; my anointed one will be a light for my people. 18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but he will be a glorious king.”
LORD
We surrender our life to the Lord Jesus and begin to live day by day. We do not see all of the things that happened and are happening in the spirit world. Jesus is life. He has conquered death and provides the same power and strength that Christ displayed on our behalf as He paid the price for our sin. Live with joy. Know that the Lord is good and everything He does to you is for your good.

SEPTEMBER 24 – REMEMBER

9/24 Psalm 132:1-7
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. LORD, remember David and all that he suffered. 2 He took an oath before the LORD. He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel, 3 “I will not go home; I will not let myself rest. 4 I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber 5 until I find a place to build a house for the LORD, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.” 6 We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar. 7 Let us go to the dwelling place of the LORD; let us bow low before him.
REMEMBER
The Lord saves you and in that act of salvation grafts you into His family. Jesus will never let you go. He will not abandon you; Christ will not let you go. Remember that eternal life is part of the results of being in God’s family.

SEPTEMBER 23 – HOPE

9/23 Psalm 131
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me. 2 But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother. Yes, like a small child is my soul within me. 3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD — now and always.
HOPE
Hope in the Lord, not as wishful thinking but as a determined confidence that the Lord will see you through your troubles. Know the Lord. Surrender to the Lord and recognize the wondrous gift of life that He has given you. Be strong in him.

SEPTEMBER 22 – FREEDOM

9/22 Psalm 130
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help. 2 Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. 3 LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? 4 But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you. 5 I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. 6 I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn. 7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love and an overflowing supply of salvation. 8 He himself will free Israel from every kind of sin.
FREEDOM
Ask the Lord and He will free you. Jesus will cleanse your heart and mind. He will not let you suffer. He will give you victory. Bend you knee to Jesus and He will help you walk the path to recovery. Jesus is Lord.

SEPTEMBER 21 – BLESSING

9/21 Psalm 129
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me — let Israel now say — 2 from my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me, but they have never been able to finish me off. 3 My back is covered with cuts, as if a farmer had plowed long furrows. 4 But the LORD is good; he has cut the cords used by the ungodly to bind me. 5 May all who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shameful defeat. 6 May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown, 7 ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder. 8 And may those who pass by refuse to give them this blessing: “The LORD’s blessings be upon you; we bless you in the LORD’s name.”
BLESSING
This Psalm is a wonderful blessing to each one of us. It comes from our Father who loves us totally. Let Him have control of your heart. Give yourself to Jesus. He is worthy of all of our attention.

SEPTEMBER 20 – FOCUS

9/20 Psalm 128
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. How happy are those who fear the LORD — all who follow his ways! 2 You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How happy you will be! How rich your life! 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine, flourishing within your home. And look at all those children! There they sit around your table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees. 4 That is the LORD’s reward for those who fear him. 5 May the LORD continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. 6 May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. And may Israel have quietness and peace.
FOCUS
The Lord is good and is trustworthy. He has made significant promises to us, more than 7,000 in His Word. The only way we will be able to stand in the face of the enemies attack is to focus our mind and heart on Jesus. We need to always be aware that “greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

SEPTEMBER 19 – TRUST

9/19 Psalm 127
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is useless. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. 2 It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. 3 Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. 4 Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows in a warrior’s hands. 5 How happy is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
TRUST
The question is a question of trust and belief. Do you trust the promises the Lord has made to you? If you do you will trust HIM with the current moment. Jesus is with us and is always up to date on what is happening in our life.

SEPTEMBER 18 – AMAZING

9/18 Psalm 126
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. When the LORD restored his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! 2 We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the LORD has done for them.” 3 Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy! 4 Restore our fortunes, LORD, as streams renew the desert. 5 Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. 6 They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.
AMAZING
What an amazing life the Lord fashions for us if we will follow Him. Each day is another opportunity to glorify the Father by living our life under His rule. Jesus is Lord and we can know Him. Amazing that the Lord loves us. Thank you Lord.
