SIRACH 2:3-6 (2025)

SIRACH 2:3-6

Hold fast to the Lord, do not separate yourself from him 

so that you may be successful to the end of your days. 

Accept all that happens to you, 

be patient when you are humbled, 

for as gold is tested in the fire, 

so those acceptable to God are tested 

in the crucible of humiliation.

Have confidence in him and he will take care of you; 

follow the right path and hope in him.

---- mine,

I understand that you grow weary and wonder when I will answer your prayers, ease your burdens, bring your children home to Me, and your heart will be filled with joy. You long for the day when laughter will burst forth from you because you cannot contain the glorious happiness of knowing that they are saved. As I have assured you often, you must wait on My time, and while you wait, continue to pray and hope without anxiety, confident in the knowledge that all you ask for with tears, prayers, supplication, and fasting, will be granted to you. However, you must wait patiently for Me to act. I know best. At a time chosen by Me and in the manner decided by Me, every good and perfect gift will be bestowed on them and on you. Have faith. Remain in My Presence. Do not allow doubt to dim your hope or fear to steal your trust in Me. I AM the Eternal Word of God, and it is the will of My Father that not one of His little ones be lost. He who watches over the birds in the air and the flowers in the field will certainly look after His little ones, His sons and daughters. All will be well. Trust Me! Trust My Word.

PSALM 17:4B-8 (2025)

PSALM 17:4B-8

I call on you, you will answer me, 

O God; incline your ear and hear my word. 

For you do wonders for your faithful, 

you save those fleeing from the enemy 

as they seek refuge at your right hand. 

Keep me as the apple of your eye; 

under the shadow of your wings hide me.

---- mine,

Yes, when you call on Me, I will answer you. I will keep every one of the promises I have made to you. Every assurance that I give you, you can count on. I keep My Word always.  I AM God and the Son of God and the Son of Man. I came that you and all who believe in Me will have life in its fullness. In this life, ---- my own, you will trouble and sorrow, heartache and heartbreak, you will walk in the valley of tears, but I will always be with you. I AM yoked to you. I will go ahead of you, I will walk behind you, I will be to your right and your left, I will be above and below you, and most importantly, I will abide in you. You have nothing to fear; fear paralyses. Fear has no place in the life of those who are grafted onto My Body and are its members. I give you My Life, I give you My Flesh to eat and My Blood to drink. No harm will come to you, for My mighty protection covers you. I have appointed angels to guard you and your loved ones because you are Mine. You are the apple of my eye, you are my sheep, and I AM your Shepherd, and no one has the power to snatch from Me what I have declared to be Mine. Rejoice and be glad and remain always in My love.
