[The Whole Armor of God]

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

-Ephesians 6:10-18

I pray that God shows you His goodness and His never ending mercy this year

I pray that you learn to love Him even more than you have before

And that you are reminded and encouraged, that though our trials may seem dark and lonely, the Lord is always by our side, and He is faithful in his blessings and promises

Have a blessed 2024 💕

Jesus said: The greatest among you will be your servant. (Matthew 23:1-12)

Baptized in the Holy Spirit, we have been clothed in Christ forever. And God can say to each one of us, “You are the only one for me; in you, I find my joy.” In the tenth century, a Christian named Simeon wrote, “Christ will come to each person as if he were concerned with that person alone.”

2. Mark 1:11

‭1 Kings 3:5-143 (GNT‬). “That night the Lord appeared to him in a dream and asked him, “What would you like me to give you?” Solomon answered, “You always showed great love for my father David, your servant, and he was good, loyal, and honest in his relation with you. And you have continued to show him your great and constant love by giving him a son who today rules in his place. O Lord God, you have let me succeed my father as king, even though I am very young and don't know how to rule. Here I am among the people you have chosen to be your own, a people who are so many that they cannot be counted. [9] So give me the wisdom I need to rule your people with justice and to know the difference between good and evil. Otherwise, how would I ever be able to rule this great people of yours?” The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this, and so he said to him, “Because you have asked for the wisdom to rule justly, instead of long life for yourself or riches or the death of your enemies, I will do what you have asked. I will give you more wisdom and understanding than anyone has ever had before or will ever have again. I will also give you what you have not asked for: all your life you will have wealth and honor, more than that of any other king. And if you obey me and keep my laws and commands, as your father David did, I will give you a long life.”

“Put God’s Priorities First” by In Touch Ministries:

“If we trust God and seek to honor Him in our decisions, we’ll have the chance to see Him work mightily.”

“Imagine if God showed up and said, “What do you want? Ask, and I’ll give it to you.” How would you answer? Most of us would ask for loved ones’ safety, enough money to meet our needs, or a long, healthy life. Solomon may have been tempted to name something similar—but he made a different request. What he wanted was an understanding heart so he could serve God’s people well.

Solomon’s life was full of personal needs and desires not so different from our own. But when given the opportunity to ask God for anything, he prioritized the Lord’s concerns. God was so pleased with the request that He gave Solomon not only wisdom but riches and honor as well (1 Kings 3:13)! This encounter foreshadows Jesus’ words in the Gospel of Matthew: “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you” (Matthew 6:33).

God won’t necessarily give wealth, influence, or long life because we put His priorities first, but He will always be faithful to provide all we need according to His purposes. Solomon’s heart was set on seeking God’s kingdom and righteousness, and the Lord honored that in a multitude of ways—both tangible and intangible. When we make God’s priorities ours, we too will have the chance to see Him work mightily in our life.”

I feel like God put something for me in the homily this Sunday. The priest was talking about a woman who was very promiscuous is her youth but then found God. She was praying one day and Jesus gave her a vision of her place in Heaven and she was confused to find that it was among the virgins (not to say that not being a virgin is inherently not virtuous.) She asked Him why and He said there was nothing he could not wash clean. I feel God put that in there for me as over the weekend I (yes I am underage, he is not, and I regret this, don't be stupid like me kids) sent people my nudes under pressure/coercion from people and under that same pressure posted them. I feel like He put that in the homily to let me know that I can and should come back to Him. God wants us to be with Him and will wash away anything. This also is a great time to point out that no rational Christian would say that the abused (idk if that would be my situation) is the sinner, that's straight from the Catechism, if you're Catholic.

But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

-Revelation 9:20-21

If you are, like me, obsessed with every detail of your writing being intentional and appropriately weighted but sometimes get overwhelmed with the decision fatigue that accompanies a blank page, Wonderbook really fucking slaps. Highly recommend. It walks you through examples of choices made in writing with such clarity and vision that it helped clear up multiple sticking points in my wip I've been worrying over for months. Also it's occasionally really fucking funny.

#great book for people who read that fitzgerald obsessively structured his novels and took that as a challenge (me)#i love structure okay!!! its great!!!#I think too be really effective in the weird you need to lean into structure MORE instead of less #breaking the rules for effect is most off-putting when you've followed all the others #god I'm such a fucking earth sign. Jesus Christ.#megs is reading
