(Psa 20:4) May He grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed.
Are you happy and content with what you have received from the Lord? Are you thankful to God for His mercies, help, guidance, protection and provision? Are you happy for what you have achieved so far?
OR
Are you still crumbling and mourning over the past failures, loss in business and work, life and family?
When we are faithful in acknowledging His grace and blessings over the little little things, He'll be happy and shall fulfill the desires of your heart.
It is only by His grace we can survive and sustain in this world. When we depend on this grace fully and do our part, He shall bless all our efforts and shall make your plans succeed. You shall be successful. Your sorrows will turn into Joy. Your failures will turn into success.
Rejoice. Be thankful to God. He'll make you successful and grant your desires.
(Psa 20:1b)The name of the God of Jacob will protect you.
Those who believed and accepted the name JESUS were given the right to be called as CHILDREN of God. JESUS dwells in them and He is their refuge.
Have you accepted Christ as your personal Savior? Are you sure of your salvation? If so, you are under the banner JESUS the name above all names. Every knee shall bow before Him and every tongue shall confess that JESUS is the Lord. This name is all powerful and whatever you ask in this name according to the will of the Father, you will receive it.

| Under the Blood of JESUS |
Devil trembles before this name. As long as you stay right under the blood of Christ, you are safe and He will protect you. Don't get diverted and deviate from the Godly way of living. Don't compromise your living standards but let it be as per God's plan. Don't get allured by the wicked schemes of the devil. Always look up to the cross of Calvary and be content with what you have for today.
Don't be greedy. Greedy heart is a playground for the devil. So, when you remain in Christ, you are under His protection.
(Psa 20:1)The LORD will answer you in times of trouble.
We are living in uncertain times. Problems are there in everybody's life. No one is insulated from going through tough times, chaotic situations, pain, agony etc. These situations are there for both good and bad, righteous and unrighteous, saint and sinner.
But, as a Child of God, the greatest hope for us is JESUS Himself. He is there to help us all the time. He is never busy to listen to our prayers. All that we need to do during our times of trouble is to call unto Him before calling for help from other sources. Then He will make things perfect for you. He will take care of all your worries. He will surely answer you in times of your trouble.
Most of the time we don't call Him. We seek the help of fellow men, family and other sources thinking that He may not respond on time. But BIBLE says, He is always watching over us and He never fails. So learn to depend on HIM all the time..
(Psa 19:14) May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
What do you think about God, yourself and others? During the times of pain and agony, what were you confessing in your mind? We may put a good show outside, neatly dressed, giving a broad smile and talking pleasant words. People may be impressed with your manners and body languages. You may even be an inspiration to many others in adjusting and accommodating the unexpected happenings or disappointments by your kith and kin.
But deep inside you may be complaining, cribbing and cursing people. Even while you are shaking hands with a smile, your heart may be cursing or mocking the other person which is not seen outside.. BUT, be careful, God is watching that. He even knows our hidden intentions and attitudes. We cannot hide anything from God..
Sometimes we do negative confessions quite frequently . Are you a critic, tearing apart the performance of others and are you known for insulting others and making them feel miserable? Watch out..
God is an impartial Judge.. What you sow only you will reap. He repays according to our deeds and words..
Take a decision today. Make a covenant with your mouth and heart not to indulge in anything that is not pleasing and acceptable to God..
Check whether your thoughts and words are pleasing to JESUS?
(Psa 19:7b) The witness of the Lord is certain,giving wisdom to the foolish.
The Lord Himself testifies about His son. Yes, God's word is the most reliable witness about our Lord Jesus Christ. His words are Yes and Amen. These words are the real source of wisdom and understanding. Anyone who believes this will obviously spend more time with it.
The more we read it, the better our understanding will be about our Creator. God will open our spiritual eyes to see and experience the truth. The truth will deliver the person from the clutches of darkness and the lies of the devil. Even if a person is considered a fool according to worldly standards, God will transform him to be wise.
Enjoy your life by spending more time with the word. Encourage others also to do it.
(Psa 19:7a) The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul.
In this fast paced life which is full of competition and tight deadlines, every day is a tough battle for most of us. Working to the satisfaction of higher authorities, making both ends meet in our family life and maintaining the old and existing relationships etc. is becoming a herculean task. With the survival issue glaring before us, we tend to work more and more resulting in a situation of burn out.
You may even feel weak and weary. But, what is the way out?
Only God's word can refresh you. But unfortunately, the first casualty in most of our life is the Quiet time with the Lord, where we get to read and meditate His word. It is not a ritual. But the real life line. If you ignore this time, you will end up with spiritual dryness.
Prioritize God to be first in ur daily life. Give importance to His written word. God will revive you and shall refresh you.
Do you read God's word daily?
(Psa 10:17-18,HCSB)LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will listen carefully, doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed, so that men of the earth may terrify them no more.
Our God is the Father to the fatherless and He gives hope to the hopeless. Anyone who is humble and submissive to HIM will enjoy His protection. Don't be terrified by the wicked. Set your eyes on JESUS alone. He will be your refuge and hope.
(Psa 10:16,GNB) The LORD is king forever and ever. Those who worship other gods will vanish from His land.
Our God is an eternal God. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He reigns forever. He is GOD. He alone is GOD. Anything and anyone who tries to take the place of GOD, or anyone who worships the creation as GOD will be banished by HIM into eternal fire. Be careful to give all glory and honor to this KING, for He alone is worthy to be praised.
(Psa 10:14,GNB)You take notice of trouble and suffering and are always ready to help. The helpless commit themselves to You; You have always helped the needy.
God is always willing and capable to help the poor and needy. He said, seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given.When people who go through troubles and difficult situations, He is ready to help them, provided they turn their heart to Him, He will never let down those who depend on Him fully. Do not keep HIM as a standby.
Are you happy and content with what you have received from the Lord? Are you thankful to God for His mercies, help, guidance, protection and provision? Are you happy for what you have achieved so far?
