    May you gladly express your dependence on God, and confess the depth of your inability to please the Lord in yourself, giving Him the honor for all good things done right and extending to Him the praise for His mercy extended through Jesus' sacrifice, covering all mistakes and rectifying each fatal error. 1 Chronicles 15

    May you celebrate the victorious entrance of the Lord's presence with dancing and singing. 1 Chronicles 15

    May your joy in the Lord find expression through your generosity to His people. 1 Chronicles 16

    May you call upon the name of the Lord, giving thanks and making known among the people what He has done as you sing praise to Him and tell of all His wonderful acts. 1 Chronicles 16

    May you look to the Lord and His strength, seeking His face always, letting your heart rejoice with those who seek the Lord and glory in His holy name as you remember the wonders He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He has pronounced for His servants, the chosen ones. 1 Chronicles 16

    I, the Lord thy God, am the judge of the living and the dead, My child. I judge according to the heart, and not by the outward appearance, nor by the words, nor by the deeds; My judgement is made according to each heart's motivation for what is said and done.
    I judge fairly, without influence from bribes, for who can offer Me, their Creator, anything I do not have? I judge righteously, without influence from power, for who can threaten Me, the King of kings?
    My judgments are true, My questioning one, for My attention does not wander, nor do I grow bored, neither do appetites distract Me.
    My judgments are not to be feared, My precious one, for there are two sides to each issue. When you have humbled yourself before Me, realizing your need, and accepting My salvation into your life, you no longer stand against Me, but start aligning with My will and abiding in My blessings.
    I resist the proud and arrogant, the disdainful and self-sufficient, for they resist My purpose and oppose My will, receiving for themselves My righteous anger. They cannot harm Me nor diminish Me, but in their blindness and lusts, they seek to consume those who look to Me for protection.
    The weak I judge to be worthy of strong defense, My concerned one, so rejoice in your weakness, while those who claim to be strong need to fear.
    The poor I judge to deserve the payment of their debts, so be glad, My dear one, to know that the eternal riches of heaven are yours, freeing you from your debt of sin which you could not pay, while those who have extorted the wages of others will suffer loss.
    You are not the judge, My learning one, for you do not yet see truly nor do you understand fully. You are, however, My hand outstretched, executing My judgments. This is the work to which I call you, My eager one.
    Go forth in My power, My willing one. Lift up the fallen with My love, binding their wounds; demonstrate My compassion to the discouraged, easing their load; share the sorrows of those who mourn, bringing My comfort; encourage those who seek to follow the path I lead them on, sharing My strength.
    The time will come when the iniquity of the world is full and all decisions have been made. The anger of My judgment, then, will be poured out. But now is still the time, My tender one, of seeking and drawing, of meekness toward all, that whosoever will, may come.
    Share My judgments of love and redemption, grace and mercy, with all while there is still time, seeking that none should perish. All too soon this period of grace will be completed and night will fall, when no man can work.

    May you sing to the Lord of all that earth and proclaim His salvation day after day, declaring His glory among the nations and His marvelous deeds among all peoples for the Lord is great and most worthy of praise, and greatly to be feared above all powers and principalities.. 1 Chronicles 16

    May you ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, which is due His name, bringing an offering as you come before Him to worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness, for splendor and majesty are before Him just as strength and joy are in His dwelling place. 1 Chronicles 16

    May you give thanks to the Lord, for He is good and His love endures forever, and cry out for God your Savior to gather and deliver you from nations so that you may give thanks to His holy name and glory in the praise of the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. 1 Chronicles 16

    May you realize that what can be known about God is plain to all because God has made it visible to each one, yet there are men who choose to suppress the truth by their wickedness, causing the wrath of God to be revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of these people. Romans 1

    May you come to understand that since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, such as His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen and been understood from what has been made, but although they knew God and are without excuse, they neither glorified Him as God or gave thanks to Him, and therefore their thinking became futile and their hearts darkened. Romans 1

    May God remember the helpless and arise against the arrogance of the wicked who revile the Lord, for He sees the trouble and takes note of the grief, and is the helper of the fatherless. Psalm 10
