everything we need

Mm, Most Holy God,

Thank You for rest. Thank You for Your love. Thank You for reminding me yesterday that “our hope is in You alone” (Psalm 33:22b).

May I just say, so incredibly truly, “Oh my God!”

Turning to The Message just now I have tears stinging my eyes before they roll down my nose. Thank You Father for this heart that is so very sensitive to Your Truth.

“We're depending on GOD; He's everything we need. What's more, our hearts brim with joy since we've taken for our own His holy name. Love us, GOD, with all You've got – that's what we're depending on” (Psalm 33:20-22).

Depend on You. Everything we need. Hearts brimming with joy. Your love.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC), “Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield. For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name. Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.”

I confess to You right now the frustration that led me to this Truth. As embarrassed as I feel to say it, I was complaining about the hopelessness of ever having a green, healthy lawn. The words I used were, “There is no hope in...”

Thank You for stopping me mid-sentence to remind me that my hope is in You. You have us covered. Covered by Your Son's precious blood (1 Peter 1:9). Wow! We are truly blessed!

Thank You Blessed God. Use me this day exactly as You wish. I love You. Thank You. Praise You. Need You. Want You. Trust You. And hope in You. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
