Psalm 16:7-11

“I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol (the grave), or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

  • If we are not experiencing a fullness of joy, we are more than likely not dwelling in God’s presence. Our focus determines our attitude. Even as a child of God, when we let the troubles of this world overtake our mind, we will feel defeated. In God we find peace, joy, and a future glory, because no matter the trial, situation, or the circumstance, the Lord brings peace during the storm.  
  • If you attain the number one priority that you have established for yourself in this life, where will it lead you and how long will it last?
  • When you are walking with the One who created you and sustains you, why would you worry or be afraid?
  • Why would you seek peace and joy anywhere else besides from the Creator?

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

James 1:2-4 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

Isaiah 7:9 “…. You will stand on your faith or you will not stand at all.”

Dear Lord, please help us to understand and live out James 1:2-4 so that we will not be shaken. We praise you for instructing, correcting, guiding, sustaining, and saving us from death, and we thank You for loving us and being our strength when we are weak. May our focus be on You; Your love; Your directions, and Your promises. Amen 

Isaiah 5:11-12

“Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them. They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord, or see the work of his hands.”

“For the look on their faces bears witness against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them. For they have brought evil on themselves.” Acts 6:15 “And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.”

Isaiah 1:18-20

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” 1 John 1:6-7 “If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Isaiah 1:5-6

“Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil.” James 4:10 “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
