The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:…

Ousting Fear
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 8 Just…
His Promises= Our Protection
2 This I declare about the Lord:He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are…
Finding Rest in His Shadow
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 Tired? I bet we can all answer that affirmatively. The mental stress of living in a pandemic wears a person out, body and soul. I need rest. I bet you do too. We all need…
Choosing Alarms
How’re you doing? Really. Are you shocked, confused, bewildered? Trying to stay positive for those around you, knowing maybe, (like me) it’s an uphill battle to keep a sincere smile upon your face? Late one afternoon I sat in my room, just having closed my computer for the day. The ‘official’ workday ended; time to…
Trusting He’s Got the Whole World
5:00 am: the birdsong wakens me. The sweet chirping is so innocent. The birds have no concerns as they chorus to welcome another day. They are not worried about the world, about a virus plaguing the earth, instilling fear, stealing joy and claiming lives. The sky is still dark and my eyes cannot see the…
Be Still, and Grow!
Are you tired of staying in the same place, with the same people (or lack thereof!)? Are you wishing to go somewhere, anywhere, to do something, anything! Most of us are bored of staying home, waiting for this too, to pass. I wonder if God ever watches us, wishing we would stop staying in the…
Communion With Him
“Mom!” A common call as my daughters filter through the door after school. Sometimes, that one word is carried in a tone of distress, said slowly, indicating it was not a great day. Other times, a daughter shouts it as she rushes in the door, cheeks red from the run home, excitement oozing out around…
God Gave His Word
“You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” Matthew 22:29 (NIV) Five days until death would be conquered. Five days to teach, to love, and to encourage. In Mark 11:12-14, Jesus left Bethany. After starting on this journey, He felt hungry. Seeing a fig tree, He walked…
God Gave Courage
“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion; see, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” John 12:15 NIV Six days until His reunion with His Father. It’s time to enter Jerusalem, a place where Jesus is a marked man. Religious rulers didn’t like how this man riled the people and called the…
