Psalm 32 ~ Blessings of Forgiveness
Embrace and enjoy the blessings of forgiveness that bring safe places, heavenly instructions, and rejoicing. 
 
Psalm 32
1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;    my strength was dried up  as by the heat of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity;I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to You at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.
7 You are a hiding place for me; You preserve me from trouble;    You surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;    I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,    which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,    but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,    and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
Scriptures:
* Matthew 7:24-27 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
* John 14:26-27 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. “
* John 16:13 “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.”
* Ephesians 3:14-21 “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Psalm 31 ~ Fortress & Redeemer
Let us ask God today to redeem and help our current circumstances, the lives of those around us, and especially those in deep suffering and need—physically, emotionally, spiritually.
Passage: Psalm 31
Scripture Highlights:
* Psalm 31:2-4 “Incline Your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! For You are my rock and my fortress; and for Your name's sake you lead me and guide me; You take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for You are my refuge.”
* John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I [Jesus] came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Jesus came for the oppressed, the captive ones. 
* Psalm 82:3-4 “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
* Luke 4:18-21 (from Isaiah 61) “‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’ Then He [Jesus] rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on Him. He began by saying to them, ‘Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.’”

Psalm 30 ~ Asking for Joy
Trials will come. God brings Joy. Pray for His Joy.
Psalm 30:5 “… Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
Psalm 30
1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to You for help,    and You have healed me.
3 O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;    You restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you His saints,    and give thanks to His holy name.
5 For His anger is but for a moment,    and His favor is for a lifetime.Weeping may tarry for the night,    but joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,    “I shall never be moved.”
7 By Your favor, O Lord,    You made my mountain stand strong;You hid Your face;    I was dismayed.
8 To You, O Lord, I cry,    and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,    if I go down to the pit?Will the dust praise You?    Will it tell of Your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!    O Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;    You have loosed my sackcloth    and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever!
Additional Scriptures:
* 1 Corinthians 6:19 “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?”
* John 14:16-17 “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” 
* James 1:2-4 “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

May the Lord bless you and all His people with strength and peace today. God’s power and voice as Creator & King invites us to ask for His strength and peace in our lives today.
Psalm 29:
1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name;    worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;    the God of glory thunders,    the Lord, over many waters.

11 May the Lord give strength to His people!    May the Lord bless His people with peace!

Psalm 28 ~ Protecting Us
We can cry out to God with the expectation that He hears us. We need His help. He rescues and protects us. God is strong…He is our shield and our Shepherd King.
** Psalm 28
1 To you, O Lord, I call;    my rock, be not deaf to me,lest, if you be silent to me,    I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,    when I cry to You for help,when I lift up my hands    toward Your most holy sanctuary.
3 Do not drag me off with the wicked,    with the workers of evil,who speak peace with their neighbors    while evil is in their hearts.
4 Give to them according to their work    and according to the evil of their deeds;give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord or the work of His hands,He will tear them down and build them up no more.
6 Blessed be the Lord!    For He has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;    in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped;my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people;    He is the saving refuge of his anointed.
9 Oh, save Your people and bless Your heritage!    Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
 
Scriptures:
* Romans 12:16-21 “Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’ …Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
* John 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus] was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
* Colossians 1:16-17 “For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”
* 1 John 4:4, 13-15 “Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He [Jesus] who is in you is greater than he who is in the world…By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”
* John 10:14-16 “I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know Me,  just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.”  
* Romans 8:16-17 “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him
* 1 John 3:1-2a “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are God's children now…”
