I've got this

Daily Devotional

by Larry Stockstill
Israel's blessings started with the word may. As Jacob laid his hands upon the heads of Ephraim and Manasseh, he uttered the word and invoked a blessing with it three times.

The psalmist blessed Israel with equal force: "May the Lord respond to your cry. May the God of Israel keep you safe. . . . May he send you help. . . . May he remember all your gifts. . . . May he grant your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory. . . . May the Lord answer all your prayers" (Psalm 20:1-5).

The word may could be translated "allow." In other words, allow God to do what He wants to do for you. You must settle in your mind forever that God wants to bless you. Any doubt will always result in questioning His desire to answer your prayers or to increase, deliver, and help you.

God's Word has the same power to bless you, as did Jacob's words for his grandsons. "Pay attention, my child, to what I say. Listen carefully. Don't lose sight of my words. Let them penetrate deep within your heart, for they bring life and radiant health to anyone who discovers their meaning" (Proverbs 4:20-22).

May the Lord bless you today!

Proverbs 4:20-27

²⁰ My son, pay attention to what I say;

turn your ear to my words.

²¹ Do not let them out of your sight,

keep them within your heart;

²² for they are life to those who find them

and health to one’s whole body.

²³ Above all else, guard your heart,

for everything you do flows from it.

²⁴ Keep your mouth free of perversity;

keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

²⁵ Let your eyes look straight ahead;

fix your gaze directly before you.

²⁶ Give careful thought to the paths for your feet

and be steadfast in all your ways.

²⁷ Do not turn to the right or the left;

keep your foot from evil.

Psalm 20:1-9

¹ May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;

may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

² May he send you help from the sanctuary

and grant you support from Zion.

³ May he remember all your sacrifices

and accept your burnt offerings.

⁴ May he give you the desire of your heart

and make all your plans succeed.

⁵ May we shout for joy over your victory

and lift up our banners in the name of our God.

May the Lord grant all your requests.

⁶ Now this I know:

The Lord gives victory to his anointed.

He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary

with the victorious power of his right hand.

⁷ Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸ They are brought to their knees and fall,

but we rise up and stand firm.

⁹ Lord, give victory to the king!

Answer us when we call!

 I had the best conversation with God last night. Like a real conversation. I heard his voice so clear and with each word He eased the pain and filled me with peace. I don't know why I let doubt even slip into my mind because things like this happen and I am just like "WOW, God is good." 

"Do you have this God?"

"Yeah, I got this."

"But what if.."

"I've got this."

"But"

"Don't worry, I have got her."
