O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. — Psalm 31:23

The LORD is good. Because you hope in the LORD, be strong. In other words, know what you are good at. Know where your grace comes from. Give thanks to God for the Holy Spirit, which brings us his great mercy and power. The KING God keeps his people safe. Even if faithfulness is laughed at in this world, he respects it. The LORD will bless his people and punish those who make fun of and hurt them fairly.

Prayer

Give me strength, LORD, because I am going through hard times with enemies at my door and rivals everywhere. Please give me the sense to see that it’s your grace that’s leading me. Please give me the strength to stand up for what is right, pure, and holy. Please open my eyes so I can see what you want me to do for your glory. Please keep my hope burning with passion while I wait for you to finish your work in me. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
