in the Lord, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

       Psalm 37:3–4

      My light is shining on your way. My path is unfolding before you as you walk with Me. You do not need to see ahead, and it would be harmful to you if you could. My way and My wisdom are always best. Do not fear what lies on the path. The darkness will disappear at the right time, and you will see everything you need to see. No harm can come to the soul that is in My care. No harm can come to you as long as you stay with Me.

       January Twenty-fifth

      Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in all ways.

       II Thessalonians 3:16

      My dear son, I am still working out My purposes in your life. The mantle of My mercy is still over you. My goodness is your daily supply.

      Walk in hope and truth. Be quick to confess your inward sin—avoid the trap of self-pity. My glory and mercy will yet be seen.

       January Twenty-sixth

      Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

       Isaiah 43:19

      Yes, My son, you need to listen—like Martha, you are busy about many things in your mind. I could overpower your thoughts if I chose, but I prefer to have you struggle to be quiet and make that an offering to Me. You will be more greatly blessed by that procedure. You see, do you not, that when you get your mind focused, you can hear and receive My word to you. Yet this focusing is easily lost to a straying thought if you do not guard it well.

       January Twenty-seventh

      Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

       Matthew 5:16

      Rest now with Me and in Me, My son, in the full assurance of My love. Abide in Me quietly and let this day be a quiet one for your soul. Much is accomplished in the hidden depths of a quiet heart.

       January Twenty-eighth

      And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

       I Kings 19:12

      Like light piercing through the darkness My Spirit pierces through the muddle of your mind and thoughts. They still form a dense thicket—and much pruning must be done.

      My grace has been heavy upon you. Let your mind rest now on the knowledge that I love you and have accepted you as My child. You have far to go and grow in this basic truth.

       January Twenty-ninth

      Your ways and your doings have brought this upon you.

       Jeremiah 4:18a

      The wounds that you inflict upon your soul wound Me also. Remember this when you are tempted and drawn toward evil. Forbidden pleasures, even mental ones, are short-lived, but leave a residue of injury behind. Flee from these temptations to Me and abide in Me. Recognize the tactics of your adversary and do not play the fool!

       January Thirtieth

      Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.

       Psalm 55:22

      Go in My strength to the duties of the day. Stay close to Me in your heart, and you will know the communion of My Spirit. Walk in the light I give you in each situation, and know that I am with you to bless and guide. Fret not yourself over what “might be.” I am still in charge and will give you what is best for you. This is My promise.

       January Thirty-first

       Is My hand shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver?

       Isaiah 50:2b

      Believe and you will see. Greater wonders will yet unfold. My arm is not shortened, and My purpose stands. I lead My flock in ways that seem strange to you. But I know the way and I know the destination to which I led you. I do not expect you to see or understand all. But I do ask you to believe. That is the strong cord binding heart to heart—believing, trusting. Against that the enemy has no power. But it is yours to choose. And I counsel you again, My child, “be not faithless—but believing.”

       FEBRUARY

      How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

      Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word.

      What more can He say than to you He hath said?

      To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled.

      “Fear not, I am with you, Oh be not dismayed;

      For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.

      I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand

      Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

      “When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,

      My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply.

      The flames shall not hurt thee, I only design

      Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

      “When through the deep waters I call thee to go,

      The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow.

      For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,

      And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.”

      K. in Rippon’s Selection, 1787

       February First

       Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!

       I Chronicles 16:34

      Thanks and praise become the upright. Thanks and praise become the sinner. Forgiveness begets a thankful heart. Never cease to lift your heart in grateful remembrance of what I have done for you, My child, for in this is your safeguard. Once the well of thankfulness goes dry or is clogged through misuse, disobedience is not far behind, and with it, all the sorrows and pain it entails; you need to practice praise. Your identity and welfare are intimately tied up in it. Praise is not a luxury. It is as vital as the air.

       February Second

      For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from Him.

       Psalm 62:5

      Expect a blessing—that is the faith attitude I am pleased with when you come to pray. You would not go repeatedly to someone with a request you did not expect to be received favorably. Likewise, My child, when you approach the throne of grace, I want that expectancy to flood your heart. With such sacrifice I am well pleased. The sacrifice involved is the laying down of your old fear-filled, guilt-laden thoughts. I have promised that those who trust in Me will not be confounded. So come to Me expecting a fulfillment of My word.

       February Third

       Then said Jesus, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”

       Luke 17:17–18

      My greatness and My glory are seen in little things as well as great ones. For those with eyes
