Daily Reflections With Jesus

Escort me along the way; take me by the hand and teach me. For you are the God of my increasing salvation; I have wrapped my heart into yours!

Psalms 25:5 TPT

Another version says

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You [and only You] I wait [expectantly] all the day long.

Psalms 25:5 AMP

Reading the footnotes in The Passion Translation it says this:

The Hebrew word most commonly translated as “wait” (wait upon the Lord) is qavah, which also means “to tie together by twisting” or “to entwine” or “to wrap tightly.” This is a beautiful concept of waiting upon God, not as something passive, but entwining our hearts with him and his purposes.

What a beautiful picture this paints. I love how the TPT says “I have wrapped my heart into yours”. It makes me think about when someone wraps there arms so tightly around you that you can’t even move or break free. My heart is WRAPPED into Gods heart. It is binded, it is secure, it is not easily broken. Those are the words that I hear when I read that passage. When our hearts are wrapped with his there is such peace and security. The more we wait on the Lord the tighter our hearts get wrapped into His. The easier it is to hear his voice and the easier it is to live in alignment with the beat of his heart. The more you wait in his presence the more you know. He wants to speak to you! He wants to reveal his revelations-secrets of his promises. In verse 14 it even says “There’s a private place RESERVED for the lovers of God, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.” God already has a place reserved for you! He wants you to come near and sit and wait in His presence. He wants to teach you and download His word, his promises into you. It is up to us to take the next step and receive it. Will you take that step? His blessings are right in front of you what are you going to do?

Psalms 25:1, 5

Oh Lord I give my life to you, I trust in you God. I give it all to you. Oh Lord I bring my life to you and hope in you God. I give it all to you. I give it all to you.

Lord God you are such a faithful, merciful God. You are so loving and so gentle even in the midst of trial or exhaustion. Thank you, Lord, for valuing me and showing me you genuinely care daily. Thank you for reserving a place specifically for me. God, I ask that as I spend time with you daily that you would continue to download your word and your promises into me. That my heart would beat in sync with your heart. Lord I give my life to you! I give my heart to you. Everything that I have I lay it down at your feet. Today, no matter what comes my way, no matter what I go through or feel whether it be good or bad I will Face Everything And Rejoice and leave False Expectations About Reality behind. Today and every day YOU gets the Glory no matter what! In your Holy and Precious name, Amen!

Blessings Abundantly,
