Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. Proverbs 9:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Fear in this instance means respect.
Wisdom is having knowledge and putting that knowledge into action. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The more we are blessed with knowledge of how loving and kind our Heavenly Poppa is to us the more we respect and love Him.
The more we love Him, the more we desire to please Him.
The more we desire to please Him ,the more He will reveal the proper manner which you, as His cherished child, should behave (which is wisdom) and the more He will instill that power within you to behave as prescribed in His Divine instruction manual (the Holy BIBLE).
This is the process that a Christian uses to mature into the beautiful creation Jehovah intend for us to be.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El-Deah ( God of knowledge.Romans 11:33 ) for blessing me with one of the most precious treasures, the knowledge of You and how to nurture a loving relationship with You. No other love can compare to the love we share. I praise You in the name of my loving big brother, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with abundant wisdom to continue to mature into the beautiful creation our loving Heavenly Father desires for you to be.

Oh my Beloved El Emunah (Deuteronomy 7:9 The Faithful GOD ), I need You in my life today and every day.
Please bless me with Your gentle healing touch when others inflict me with cruel words or actions today.
Please bless me to be forgiving as You are forgiving unto me.
Please bless me with Your forgiveness when I am cruel in my words and actions today and guide me to repent to those I have offended either intentionally or unintentionally.
Please constantly remind me to depend upon Your guidance instead of foolishly depending upon my own or others flawed intelligence.
Thank you for Your healing balm upon my wounded heart as You are the best doctor there is.
Thank you that there is always a purpose in the wounds and aches and pains that come my way. They are for teaching me, maturing me or correcting me when I am going astray. You allow these because You love me too much to leave me as I am and desire for me to be the child of Yours You know I can be. It is because of these my Lord that my love for You grows ever deeper every day and we grow ever closer every day.
Thank you for that, the best blessing You can give me above all other blessings.
I humbly say this prayer in the name of my best friend Jesus Christ. Amen

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 Holy Bible New Living Translation
As Christians we are in a continuous war.
There is of course, war with those that are liberal minded (if it feels good do it, there is no absolute right or wrong, there is no God).
There is the constant was against demons who relish nothing more than destroying our loving relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
But, the most brutal of all wars is raged in our hearts and minds.
Thoughts of lust, greed, anger, fear and worry are our ever present foes.
That is why it is so important to be in continuous prayer.
When these thoughts and emotions enter our minds and hearts we are to immediately call out to Jehovah to send the Holy Spirit to sweep these thoughts from us like you sweep dirt out of a house.
Then, to fill our house with the sweet fragrance of love, joy and gratitude to our loving Father Jehovah our precious Savior Jesus Christ and our strong Deliverer the Holy Spirit.
“Who sits in solitude and is quiet has escaped from three wars: hearing, speaking, seeing; yet against one thing shall he continually battle: that is, his own heart.” St. Antony
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Gibbor Milchamah (Psalms 24:8 The LORD Mighty In Battle) for blessing me with the weapons required on a daily basis for the continual battle in my mind and heart. Thank you that through Your strength and wisdom victory is guaranteed. Thank you that when I lose a battle and call out to You, You sooth my soul while blessing me with healing balm for my heart. You are such a wonderful Warrior King. I praise You in Your majestic name. Amen
Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing
Today, my Beloved, I choose to receive my joy and strength in You.
Joy in knowing You love me with a Heavenly love as I seek opportunities to bring joy to Your treasured heart.
I know that in the cold dark world out there the devil reigns in bringing chaos and difficulties to everyone’s life but his aim is on the bulls eye of my heart because it belongs to You. He will do everything in His power to destroy our loving relationship.
I have great joy in knowing You are a force field that his evil wicked arrows cannot pierce when I place me confidence in You. Please bless me to never be in such a hurry I cannot be loving and respectful to others even when they are not respective unto me.
Please bless me to be forgiving instead of holding petty grudges and resentments.
I know that I am weak and gullible and as such an easy target for satan .
I also know that no one is as strong nor as intelligent as you. Therefore my loving Poppa in Heaven will protect me from the manipulative schemes of the wcked as I venture through this day. For that my heart dances with songs of praise for You through out the day.
Thank you my love for blessing me with all that is needed to live a victorious life in You and through You this day and every day.
It is in the name of the best Sheppard that guides this little lamb of His to Your Heavenly home that I humbly ask for these blessings and joyfully praise You them, Jesus Christ. Amen

Thank you oh my most Beloved that the rewards for this obedience is an ever closer loving relationship with You my loving Poppa, Jesus Christ, my best friend and the Holy Spirit, my most amazing Teacher. It is in the name of He whose precious sacrifice made it all possible that I praise you and ask of You, Jesus Christ. Amen

Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. Psalm 146:2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament Version
This is the secret to having joy in your life, singing praises to Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit at every opportunity through out the day.
Try this: thank Him before eating a meal (believe me, you go live in a third world country and you will see how good you have it).
Thank Him for giving you a place to live, I have seen many that live in one room as a family with no indoor heating or cooling.
Thank Him for the water you drink, I have seen many that live off of three liters of water for cooking, cleaning and drinking, try that some time.
Thank Him for living in a secure place, I have lived where it was common in the morning walk to see dead folks laying the street.
Thank Him for the air you breathe. I have lived in places where old folks drop to the ground and choke to death off of the polluted air.
Most importantly, thank Him for blessing you with the greatest blessing of all, a loving relationship with Them and for them caring for you and caring about you. Then, you will find your life filled with joy no matter what your circumstances are.
A grateful heart is a joyful heart. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Simchath Gili (Psalms 43:4 GOD My Exceeding Joy) for blessing me with Divine exhilarating joy that can only be gained by being in communion with You. It is the most special treasure there could ever be. I praise You in the name of He with whom I experience the greatest joy being with Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
Recently I was convicted while reading a morning devotional. The Holy Spirit convicted me that the words of my mouth did not match the meditation of my heart. Someone was terribly abusive to me and I said some very unchristian words in anger and frustration (the abuser did not care that her actions caused me great physical pain).
I promptly repented and even though she is still abusive my meditations with my Beloved are in love again.
It does not matter how much anyone is physically and or mentally abusive to me. All that matters is my loving obedient relationship with my Heavenly Beloved. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Heseh (God is love) bless me to always keep my focus on our loving relationship no matter how abusive those around me are. It is the anchor that hows me close to You in those horrible storms. I humbly request this in the name of He who calmed the violent storm on the seas for His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
It is my duty (which is an act of love) to be obedient and do as the Holy Spirit directs me to do in service to my Heavenly King, Jesus.
When feeling rejected or bitter, I am to stay focused on Jesus’ satisfaction and rewards not mans. I obey King Jesus and leave the results to Him.
It then becomes obvious that Jehovah, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and I have a deep loving relationship. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) Ps10:16 for blessing me with the honour of serving such an awesome King as You and depending upon You and You alone for praise. It is in Your magnificent name I pray amen.
May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year.
