Psalm 37
Psalm 37: Scripture to pray over--keeping in mind the promised land, abiding in the Lord, and spiritual warfare. Read it. Pray it. It's worth it.
v. 1-Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers!
v. 2-For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
v. 3-Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
v. 4-Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
v. 5-Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
v. 6-He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
v. 7-Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
v. 8-Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
v. 9-For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
v. 10-In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
v. 11-But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in peace.
v. 12-The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him,
v. 13-but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
v. 14-The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy; to slay those whose way is upright;
v. 15-their sword shall enter their own heart, and the bows shall be broken.
v. 16-Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked.
v. 17-For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.
v. 18-The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever;
v. 19-they are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance.
v. 20-But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish-like smoke they vanish away.
v. 21-The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives;
v. 22-for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
v. 23-The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way;
v. 24-though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.
v. 25-I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.
v. 26-He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.
v. 27-Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever.
v. 28-For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
v. 29-The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.
v. 30-The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
v. 31-The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip.
v. 32-The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death.
v. 33-The Lord will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
v. 34-Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off.
v. 35-I have ssen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree,
v. 36-But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.
v. 37-Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
v. 38-But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
v. 39-The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
v. 40-The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
I believe we are already in the promised land. We have been working the Kingdom of God, the Lord has shown us many things about Him. All He wants us to do is live like we already have the promised land--dwell in it by faith and abide in Him.
How do you delight in the Lord? How about asking Him the desires of His heart?
So, if you commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, he will act--sound familiar?
Just let go and let God. Do not worry--there might be a battle out there that we were not meant to fight--Let the good Lord do His job.
So, if we already have the promised land, then what do we have to inherit? Well, we do have it, we just have to continue to fight the good fight and not let Satan get us down. Evil is still roaming on this earth and Satan is angry at the righteous. We can never give up. Revival is coming to Auburn--this is a promise from the Lord. Have hope and trust in the Lord. Listen to Him and He will tell you what to do. We cannot let evil trespass anymore. Auburn and the surrounding area is ours--it's the Lord's! Praise God! There are lives that are in need of a Savior and that is part of our promised land.
Well, you probably did not need my two cents, the Psalm speaks for itself. But seriously pray for Auburn and the revival. Peace.

Love is in the air
Love is in the air. I am loved. I am desired. I am being pursued by the most perfect one--my Savior--my Jesus. He is the one who fills those voids. He is the one who makes me complete. He is the one who surrounds me with His loving kindness. I desire His heart and He desires mine. He wants me and I want Him. I love this giving and receiving relationship. If I never get married to a man, it's okay. If I am single for the rest of my life, it's alright. All I need or could ever want is in Jesus. He is my comfort. He is my friend. He is the only one that will never let me down. He is my true love. He tells me I am beautiful through other people. He tells me that He desires me through scripture. Being in His presence is my delight. He makes me feel like a woman. I am no longer a little girl...I am a woman...His bride. O how I long for that wedding day--a day of joy. I feel as if I am a different person now. I like who I am. I love who I am. I love who I am becoming. I am still growing--the process will not stop. What else can I say? I am in love with Jesus and He is in love with me.
