Scriptures About the Lord is a Shield

Scriptures About the Lord is a Shield Throughout the Bible, scripture names many metaphors for God. Many of these relate to and tell us about his character. A large part of God’s character, as is true of any good parent, is a protector. Thus, one of the things that the Bible says is that the Lord is a shield. A shield by definition is a defensive armor used to protect or defend a person. It can…

Scriptures and Encouragement For When You’re Feeling Crushed

Scriptures and Encouragement For When You’re Feeling Crushed A few weeks ago, I posted about some analogies of the pressing of olive oil and the pressing of Jesus. If you haven’t had a chance to read it yet, I encourage you to take some time to visit that post and read over some of the parallels and symbolism of the three phases of pressings. I think it can definitely give us encouragement and…

The Pressing of Olive Oil – The Pressing of Jesus

The Pressing of Olive Oil – The Pressing of Jesus About a year ago I saw an Instagram post by Dave Adamson that brought several analogies to mind and inspired me to do some research and write a post. His post was about Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and the parallels of an olive press (“Gethsemane”) and Jesus being pressed with the weight of our sin and his sacrifice. As we enter the…

Get Back to the Basics

Get Back to the Basics As we are a couple of weeks into the new year, several people are making new commitments, forming new habits, and strengthening spiritual disciplines.

Below are some links to revisit some of the basics via some of our previous posts. (You can also find these…

Funny Friday: Advent calendar

Funny Friday: Advent calendar I don’t have an advent calendar so I’m just opening cupboard doors and eating whatever’s in there. “For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,” 1 Timothy 4:4 (ESV)

Funny Friday: Now I know my ABCs

Funny Friday: Now I know my ABCs My sister sent this to me yesterday saying “Now I know my ABCs”. I love this person’s sense of humor! 😂 “For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all things are accomplished.” Matthew 5:18 (CSB)

Choose Gratitude

Choose Gratitude Sometimes the holidays can be a difficult time for people. It can feel like something to “get through” rather than something to enjoy. At times there are triggers that can keep us from loving and appreciating the holidays as much as we could. It’s in times like these that we have to make a choice to be grateful and find joy. We need to choose gratitude. I recently heard that…

Prayers for Israel

Prayers for Israel As we watch the events taking place in Israel, we should be reminded to pray. We are called to pray for the physical and spiritual peace of Jerusalem (and all of Israel). It’s a time to pray for the peace of Israel, protection of people, wisdom for the leaders, help and comfort during trouble, deliverance from enemies, and a spiritual awakening. I would like to give you a list…

Start the Day with Surrender: A Prayer to Surrender

Start the Day with Surrender: A Prayer to Surrender Surrendering to God is an excellent way to start the day. Surrender is the opposite of self-effort. To surrender we have to stop resisting and submit to an authority other than ourselves. We can surrender to God’s authority because we can know and trust in God‘s character. The act of surrendering to God shows that we have confidence and hope…

Scriptures About Surrendering to God

Scriptures About Surrendering to God As a Christian, I think one of the most challenging but most important things we can do is learn the act of surrendering to God, to His will, and to His ways. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, many people like to conveniently leave out the “Lord” part. We want the saving—we just don’t want to be told what to do or how to live by a master. We want to…
