Psalm 111 (New Living Translation)
1 Praise the Lord!
I will thank the Lord with all my heart
as I meet with his godly people.
2 How amazing are the deeds of the Lord!
All who delight in him should ponder them.
3 Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.
His righteousness never fails.
4 He causes us to remember his wonderful works.
How gracious and merciful is our Lord!
5 He gives food to those who fear him;
he always remembers his covenant.
6 He has shown his great power to his people
by giving them the lands of other nations.
7 All he does is just and good,
and all his commandments are trustworthy.
8 They are forever true,
to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.
9 He has paid a full ransom for his people.
He has guaranteed his covenant with them forever.
What a holy, awe-inspiring name he has!
10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever!

in the valley there is Grace
2 Kings 3
9 So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. After a roundabout march of seven days, the army had no more water for themselves or for the animals with them.
---------
16 and he said, “This is what the LORD says: I will fill this valley with pools of water. 17 For this is what the LORD says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink. 18 This is an easy thing in the eyes of the LORD; he will also deliver Moab into your hands.
---------
20 The next morning, about the time for offering the sacrifice, there it was—water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.
_______
the 3 kings and their armies took a route through the desert of Edom enroute to fighting Moab their enemy. they were dry. walking thru Edom - walking in man's limited strength. they were walking in circles. after 7 days, they ran out of water. they found themselves in a perfect valley situation brought about by depending on their own strength. they had to seek the Lord.
when you come to the end of yourself and turn to Him, even when u find yourself in a perfect valley, the Lord says He will fill it up. with the waters of His Grace. His unmerited Favour. you may not see how it comes about, yet this valley will be filled with water. He will fill the valley with pools of water. not just for you. but because of you, everyone around you also gets to drink. He says this is an easy thing for Him!
the next morning, the waters flowed from the desert where it was dry, right into their valley. wow. the dryer the place, the more the Grace.
the rest of the passage shows how the victory was given to the Israelites. Don't focus on the circumstances, focus on the Grace that is present in your circumstances! A valley situation filled with Grace, leads to triumph over the enemy!

The gift of perspective.
Showing ppl how to see things from God's perspective. Like Elisha and his servant in 2 Kings 6.
____________
Big destinies need big foundations. The foundation is being prepared to receive the vision.

Vision
Proverbs 29:18a (NKJV)
Where there is no revelation(or prophetic vision), the people cast off restraint;
But happy is he who keeps the law.
____________
Vision gives us focus. See it, speak it, it will manifest.
God gives us dreams. Hold on to those God-given dreams no matter what the circumstances say. Between the promise and the palace is the process.
Give me big dreams, Lord.
Vision gives us focus. Does that even make sense?

2 Kings 6
16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Cause me to know the way in which I should walk
Psalm 143:8
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You
Open my eyes to see Your unbelievable goodness.
Teach me and guide me. Show me the way to go and help me to follow it.
Every day.
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You
Open my eyes to see Your unbelievable goodness.
Teach me and guide me. Show me the way to go and help me to follow it.
Every day.

Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
We are in the world but not of the world. We live as light in the darkness. We must be so rooted in our identity in Christ that we are able to live as light in the darkness, and not be infected by the darkness. We have to be like Daniel and his 3 friends, who were able to do just that. Customise without compromise, and God will be glorified.
Thoughts.
