Yahweh will always guide you where to go and what to do. He will fill you with refreshment even when you are in a dry, difficult place. He will continually restore strength to you, so you will flourish like a well-watered garden and like an ever-flowing, trustworthy spring of blessing.

- Isaiah 58:11

Whenever you feel stressed, vulnerable or scared, stop and remember that the Lord goes before you and guides your path.

He will never abandon you amid sunless valleys and treacherous canyons.

Since you belong to Him, He is responsible for you.

God is keenly aware of the condition of your body, the state of your life’s situations, and the needs you have.

He promises to continually restore you along the dry road, blessing you with the overflow of His peace in the place of rest.

He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That is where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name. (Psalm 23:2-3 TPT)

Because you are a part of His royal family, you never have to worry if you will have enough. When you are overwhelmed with frightening circumstances, remind yourself that God is your source and provider, nothing else.

It doesn’t matter what it looks or feels like, because His heavenly resources are not limited by mankind’s way of thinking. They are unlimited!

The Lord knows your situation and your needs. He also knows the future. With this in mind, you can relax in His endless provision and promise to strengthen you. His blessings are ever-flowing from His spring of love.

TODAY: Walk in confidence as a child of the King of Kings, knowing that He is always taking care of you!
