The Joy of My Heart

 

The law of seedtime and harvest operates in every aspect of our lives. If we plant God's Word in our hearts and allow it to germinate and mature, we will reap a bountiful harvest. This is God's best for us—His Word producing His life within us. 

 

Here are a few Scriptures I love reading and meditating on until I "see" them in my heart. These verses speak of those who are His, so I have personalized them and made them my own. If you take the time to meditate on them and make them yours, you will start to see them as your reality in Christ.

 

Psalms 23:6:  

For your steadfast love is before my eyes,

and I walk in your faithfulness.

 

Psalms 5:12:  

For you bless the righteous, O Lord;

you cover me with favor as with a shield.

 

Psalms 112:1-4:

Praise the Lord!

I am blessed because I fear the Lord,

   I greatly delight in his commandments!

My children will be mighty in the land;

   the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Wealth and riches will be in my house,

   and my righteousness endures forever.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;

   he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

 

Psalms 103:1-5:

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

   and all that is within me,

   bless his holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

   and forget not all his benefits,

   who forgives all my iniquity,

   who heals all my diseases,

   who redeems my life from the pit,

   who crowns me with steadfast love and mercy,

   who satisfies me with good

   so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's.

 

Psalms 34:8

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! I am blessed because I trust him.
    

Psalms 34:10

Because I seek the Lord, I shall not lack any good thing.

 

Psalms 37:3-4:

I trust in the Lord, and do good;

I dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

I delight myself also in the Lord,

And He shall give me the desires of my heart.

Lord Jesus,  I find your Words and take them into my heart. I meditate on them and make them my own. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You came so that I may have life and have it more abundantly. It is your desire for me to prosper and be in health. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Therefore, I will speak your words of life. I will not waver at your promises through unbelief, but I am fully convinced that you are also able to fulfill what you have promised. Jesus, you are the Word and joy and rejoicing of my heart!
