“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:16
“In all circumstances part 1: trust in God's character” By Antique Candle Co.:
“Why is it that we most often seek the Lord during the valleys of life? We know from His Word that He wants us to seek Him in every season. During the peaks, with moments of great joy and celebration; during the valleys, in times of worry and uncertainty. Not only does He desire His children to seek Him out, but He calls us to be faithful in all circumstances.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...” —Proverbs 3:5
Trusting in the Lord's character allows us to find hope in every situation. It's not just about trusting God to get us through the difficult moments, but fully trusting in who He is, which extends to every moment of life.
So what is God's character? Many things. God cannot be compared to anything else in all creation. He created all things. Therefore, there are some attributes of Christ we can and cannot understand. We can't understand being 'unchanging' or 'all-knowing' ourselves because, as we are finite beings, we are neither. However, His Word tells us these truths about Him so that we may trust the characteristics that are unique to God alone. We can see and acknowledge the truth of His character in the Word and in our own lives.
GOD IS UNCHANGING:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” —James 1:17
GOD IS FAITHFUL:
“...if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” —2 Timothy 2:13
“The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.” —Psalm 100:5
GOD IS ALL-KNOWING:
“He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” —Psalm 94:9
GOD IS SOVEREIGN:
“For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” —Romans 11:36
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.” —Ephesians 1:7-8
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” —Matthew 24:14
Place your trust in a God who is unchanging, faithful, all-knowing, sovereign, and so much more. In all circumstances, His character is something that will never fail.”

Mother and Father as a means to connect with Divine Fem and Masc
An excerpt from 1 Thessalonians:
"But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. So being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us... For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory."
1 Thessalonians 2:7-8, 11-12
When reading this, I was reminded of masculinity and femininity and embracing it when it comes to spirituality.
Reading scriptures that call to mother and father images can help us understand how we conduct in the divine masculine and divine feminine, and embrace each one.
Along with that, it's not only about how you share the gospel, or how you literally tell people to walk with God, but how you act in light of his word as a human being.
As a mother does, we can affectionately wish for the best of the people around us. We can be ready to share our time, space and resources to help others. Like a mother would her child.
As a father does, we can call on others to walk a path of kindness, compassion, grace, loyalty and to be slow to anger. We can encourage them and enable good faith in how they conduct around others, which is not limited to sharing the word, but can be by our actions.

Imagine spending all your energy being cool and mysterious 24/7.
What an idiot have I mentioned I love him?
Idea came from a cool post @nouverx made about Alastor’s possible sleeping habits. 💕

Mesha Stele and the Name "Yahweh"
By: Scott Reynolds, D.Min., Ph.D. | March 24, 2024 One of the most significant artifacts for Jews and Christians is the Mesha Stele or Moabite Stone, as it contains the first-known mention of Yahweh. The history of the artifact’s discovery is no less remarkable than its content. The inscription was first reported by an Alsatian missionary, who had seen it among the ruins of Dhiban, an ancient…

What if everything collapsed around you?
What if everything collapsed around you? In normal day-to-day living, some days are worse than others. But then there is that one day. Possibly out of nowhere, your world collapses around you. The worst thing you could imagine happens. What once was a manageable life now seems as if the wheels have fallen off. Everything around you seems in shambles. If someone were to tell you what was going to…

Why just "believing in God" isn't enough.
I’ve mentioned this before in a previous post, but simply put- everyone believes in God. Some don’t, but this article is for those who do. I’m sure Trump does, I’m sure Biden does, I’m sure a lot of people do. And that’s great. I knew someone in prison who believed in God. He was in for arson and a double murder and is serving life without parole plus 25 years, but he believes in God. He also has…

The Voice
I am a fan of the television show, The Voice. The judges’ backs are turned to the singer as they belt out a hearty song. The judges listen and they turn their chair if the singer’s voice is worthy of the competition. There was one voice that got may attention. It was my mama’s when she would call me indoors for dinner. Then, when I became a mama, it was my baby’s voice that I heard in the middle…
