“I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” (Psalm 16:8, NIV)
Jehovah
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:14)
Father, we set You before us as the LORD—Jehovah, I Am who I Am (Exodus 3:14)—You are beyond time and space, the One who set the start in place (Psalm 8:3) and calls them each by name (Psalm 147:4)—100 billion galaxies, each with 100 billion stars! You are eternal (Genesis 21:33) and unchanging (Malachi 3:6), the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Father, bless us with keeping our eyes on You (Hebrews 12:2), no matter how difficult the times may be. Grant us the courage You gave Peter when he got out of the boat to walk on the water with You (Matthew 14:29). May we see You as our LORD—Jehovah, I Am who I Am (Exodus 3:14)—always present (Psalm
139:7-10), eternal (Genesis 21:33), unchanging (Malachi 3:6). Bless us with setting our minds on You (Colossians 3:2)as we move through this day.
God is able
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8, NIV) LORD, we set You before us (Psalm 16:8) as our God who is able—You are our Creator God who is infinitely creative, infinitely conceptual, infinitely powerful, infinitely able—what an awesome God we serve (Psalm 68:35)! Your love is abounding (Psalm 103:8), Your faithfulness
reaches to the skies (Psalm 108:4). There is no other God than You, the one and only living God (Jeremiah 10:10), our glory (Psalm 3:3) and our only hope (Colossians 1:27). Without You we can do nothing (John 15:5); with you all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)!
Father, bless us with believing the truth that nothing is impossible for You (Luke 1:37), nothing is too hard for You to do (Jeremiah 32:17). May we trust that You who parted the Red Sea (Exodus 14:26-29), brought water from the rock (Exodus 17:6) and fed thousands with a few loaves and fish (Luke 9:16) are equally able and willing to meet our needs. Grant that we will have more than enough for the good works You have prepared for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). Bless us with standing firm in our faith (Isaiah 7:9)!
