September 27 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 92:12-15 You are not too late to flourish. In Psalm 92:12–15 (KJV), the righteous flourish like the palm tree, gro

September 26 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 What if the next breakthrough begins with letting God show you what you cannot see in yourself? In Psalm 139:23–24 (KJV), David prays, “Search me, O God,” inviting God into the hidden places that could shape where he goes next. Holy Ground is where honest self-examination becomes sacred preparation for th

September 25 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. Psalm 7:10 You do not have to fight every battle when you know what is guarding your heart. In Psalm 7:10 (KJV), David declares, “My defence is of God,” trusting God to protect those whose hearts are upright. Holy Ground is where you stop letting opposition control your attention and start protecting the heart that must carry the vision. Living High And Lifted Upmeans sitting with the vision until confidenc

September 24 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. 1 Chronicles 28:9 What if the vision is waiting for your heart to catch up with what your eyes can already see? In I Chronicles 28:9 (KJV), David tells Solo

September 23 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. I Samuel 16:7 Some of the most sacred work happens where nobody can see it. In I Samuel 16:7 (KJV), God reminds Samuel that people look at outward appearance, “but the LORD looketh on the heart,” revealing that Holy Ground begins w

September 22 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 1:1-3 Where you plant yourself will eventually show

September 21 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. Isaiah 30:15 Sometimes the most powerful move you can make is to stop moving long enough to become still. In Isaiah 30:15 (KJV), God declares that “in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength,” reminding us that Holy Ground does not always demand activity; sometimes it demands trust. Livin

September 20 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Ple

September 19 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: whi
