The LORD our Righteousness!

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.

“In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

“Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’

“but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.””

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭23:5-8‬

Thank you O Lord!

Thank you that there will be a gathering of the flock. You will call us unto yourself and we will leave this sin sick world. And we will dwell in safety.

“Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the Lord.

“There are many who say, “Who will show us any good?” Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

“You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.

“I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭4:5-8‬

“There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you, And in His excellency on the clouds.

“The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, ‘Destroy!’

“Then Israel shall dwell in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens shall also drop dew.

“Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, The shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, And you shall tread down their high places.””

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭33:26-29‬

O Hallelujah! Thank you Lord that you have saved us. You give us shelter and safety. You shield us from the enemy.

So shield America.

So shield Israel.

So shield the Nations.

So shield our churches and communities.

So shield our families and friends.

We place our trust in you and you alone. You are our refuge, our strength and our hope. You are our righteousness.

Thank you that you are going before us and making every crooked path straight. You will work it ALL out because that is what you do.

You will rule and you will reign with honor and power and glory.

In Jesus name.

Amen.
