Guarding Words, Thoughts, And Influence; Podcast Episode 4

Posted on by Leave a comment

Pip: Drink of Jesus is out here asking the hard questions — not about theology degrees or church attendance, but about the words coming out of your mouth, the thoughts you’re feeding, and who you’re letting sit at your table.

Mara: That’s the territory covered in this episode: how speech either builds or destroys, how inner desire quietly escalates into action, and how the company and habits we keep are shaping us whether we notice or not.

Pip: Let’s start with the words.

Words That Build Or Break

Mara: The question here is straightforward but uncomfortable: are the words leaving your mouth actually helping anyone? Ephesians 4:29 sets the standard directly.

Pip: And the verse doesn’t soften it. The text reads: “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”

Mara: So the upshot is that speech isn’t neutral. Every word either deposits something or takes something away from the person receiving it. Grace or damage — those are the options on offer.

Pip: Which is a tighter standard than most people apply when they’re, say, venting in a group chat.

Mara: Proverbs 18:21 sharpens that further: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” The post on that verse connects what we say directly to the condition of the heart — speech reveals what’s already inside.

Pip: So the mouth is basically a diagnostic tool. What comes out tells you what’s been growing in there.

Mara: That’s exactly the framing. Both posts push toward the same practical checkpoint: before speaking, ask whether these words will help someone grow and draw closer to God. That’s the filter being proposed.

Pip: And if you can’t clear that bar, maybe the occasion doesn’t fit.

Mara: From words, the posts move inward — to where those words originate, in desire and the heart.

Thoughts, Desire, And The Heart

Mara: The deeper question underneath the speech posts is this: where does harmful behavior actually start? James 1:14–15 traces the full sequence.

Pip: The verse lays it out with uncomfortable precision: “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”

Mara: What this means in practice is that the danger isn’t the final action — it’s the unchecked desire well before that. The post argues that victory begins with recognizing the battle early, not after it’s already escalated.

Pip: Proverbs 23:7 anchors the upstream cause: as a person thinks in their heart, so they are. Thoughts aren’t just passing weather — they’re infrastructure.

Mara: And Guarding Your Heart makes the practical application explicit: “What you allow in today will shape who you become tomorrow.” The post frames the heart as territory requiring active defense, not passive hope.

Pip: The company we keep shapes that territory too — which is where this lands next.

Influence Of Company And Habits

Pip: This segment is about the slow drip — the relationships, habits, and daily inputs that reshape a person without any single dramatic moment.

Mara: Proverbs 13:20 makes the relational side plain: “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”

Pip: The consequence isn’t dramatic or sudden. It’s directional — the people closest to you are quietly setting your course.

Mara: Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 15:33 reinforces that: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Good intentions, the post notes, are not enough to neutralize constant negative influence.

Pip: Guarding Your Heart: The Slow Influence of Daily Choices pulls the full picture together — music, entertainment, conversations, habits, all of it discipling you whether you’ve signed up for it or not.

Mara: The post puts it directly: “Every day, something is discipling you, even when you do not realize it.” The argument is that spiritual decline is rarely sudden — it’s repeated small exposures that gradually dull conviction and normalize compromise.

Pip: Which means the guard has to go up before the problem is obvious, not after.

Mara: Words, desires, company, habits — it’s all connected. What we speak flows from what we’ve fed the heart, and what we’ve fed the heart reflects who we’ve been spending time with.

Pip: Guard the inputs, and the outputs tend to follow. More on what that looks like in practice next time.

Finding Strength in God: Your Safe Haven

Posted on by Leave a comment
Two men, one in robes and one in modern clothes, walk along a sunset beach.

You don’t have to carry this alone, He is your safe place and your help in every moment of need.

 Bible Verse:
God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

God is your refuge when everything feels unstable. When your body is tired and your heart overwhelmed, His strength becomes yours.  When sickness overwhelms your body and fear grips your thoughts, God reminds you that He is not distant, He is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Even when you feel weak, He is steady. When uncertainty, wariness, and unpredictability rises, He is your place of safety, defense, welfare, and protection. You may not control the diagnosis, but you are never alone in it. God steps into your fear, not just your faith, and He holds, and carries you while you are there.

Thought to Ponder:
What does refuge mean today?

Journal Prompt:
Where do you need strength?

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, Be my strength, power, and hardiness. Help me to see things through the lens that You see it. Lord help me to reject what others say is impossible because through you everything is attainable. Help me to manage everything that comes my way and always be my guide for the path that lays ahead. In Jesus Name Amen.

Seize Today’s Opportunities for Christ

Posted on by Leave a comment

This moment in history is not meaningless, it is merciful. Every sunrise is another opportunity for salvation and surrender.

“ 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

We currently live one of the most amazing seasons often called the Church Age, the time between Christ’s first coming and second coming. This is the era where the Gospel is spreading across the world, nations, languages, and cultures.

Jesus said the Gospel would be preached throughout the whole world. Today, through missions, technology, churches, translations, and media, the message of Christ continues to advance. What prophets longed to see, we are currently witnessing.

Since the day Christ was raised from the dead it has been marked by grace. Sins can be forgiven. Hearts can be changed. Broken lives can be restored. People from every background can become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Even though it is so interesting sometimes we will focus so much on future prophecy that we forget our present responsibility. While we wait for Christ’s return, we are called to share His love now. The purpose of prophecy is not passive curiosity, it is active obedience.

We are not merely waiting for the end. We are serving in the meantime. We are praying, loving, witnessing, forgiving, and growing.

We need to appreciate each and every day as a gift. Every conversation may be a divine opportunity. Every act of kindness can reflect the Kingdom of God.

Do not underestimate the season you are living in. God placed you in this generation on purpose. He knew the cultural challenges, the spiritual battles, and the opportunities available. He chose this time for your life because He intends to use you in it.

The age of grace will not last forever, but while it remains, let us live urgently and joyfully.

Thought to Ponder:

Are you using today’s opportunities as if grace is precious and time is limited?

Journaling Prompt:

Who in your life needs the hope of Christ right now, and how can you be a witness to them this week?

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the evidence of fulfilled prophecy and Your unchanging faithfulness. Thank You for the gift of grace and the privilege of living in this season. Help me use my time wisely, love others deeply, and share Your truth boldly. Make my life fruitful these days. Remind me that Your delays are never wasted and Your promises never fail. Give me peace while I wait and faith while I cannot see. Be my light for the road ahead and the pavement to smooth out the bumps. In Jesus Name Amen

Find Strength in God’s Grace Today

Posted on by Leave a comment

You may not have strength for tomorrow, but God promises enough grace for today. One step at a time, He will carry you forward.

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

Feeling, saturated, overloaded and overwhelmed often comes from trying to carry tomorrow’s troubles, tensions, and worries today. God never asked or said that you need to do that. He instead invites you to trust Him daily. When your strength runs out, His strength begins. Waiting on God does not mean doing nothing, it means placing your hopes, your fears, and your doubt in His power instead of your own. Even the most weary people can rise again when God renews their spirit. Today, take a breath, meditate and focus and trust that God will provide exactly what you need for this moment.

Thought to Ponder:
 Am I relying more on my strength or God’s strength?

Journaling Prompt:
List areas where you need God’s strength the most right now.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, renew my strength today. Help me stop striving alone and teach me to rest in Your power. Place me under Your wings and give me energy to take the next step and the one after that. Lord, place Your mighty army around me, those fiery chariots from 2 Kings 6:17 and allow them to fight those things that are trying to stop me from walking the path you want me to go. In Jesus Name Amen.

Strengthening Faith Through Life’s Trials

Posted on by Leave a comment
Lit white candle centered in front of a blazing fire inside a brick hearth.

When life turns up the heat, your faith isn’t falling apart, it’s being revealed. What feels like pressure is actually God proving that what He placed in you can’t be destroyed.

 Bible Verse:
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials, that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ 1 Peter 1:6–7

Faith that lasts isn’t built in comfort, it’s forged in fire. The trials we live have a way of exposing what we truly believe, not just what we say. When life heats up, weak foundations crack, but genuine faith grows stronger. Just like gold is purified by fire, God uses pressure to help refine your trust in Him. You may feel overwhelmed, stretched, or uncertain, but this moment is not pointless. God is shaping something eternal in you. Your struggle is not a setback; it’s a setup for deeper faith. The fire you’re in today is producing a strength that comfort never could.

Thought to Ponder:
Make a choice today to trust God in the middle of your trial, not just after it ends.

Journal Prompt:
What trial in your life is testing your faith right now, and how can you surrender it to God?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, refine my faith through every trial I face. Lord while I am in the middle of the fire and everything seems to be overheating. Help me trust You deeply, even when life feels overwhelming and chaotic. In Jesus Name Amen.

God’s Mercy Transforms Unworthy Lives

Posted on by Leave a comment
Older man wearing a black helmet and leather jacket smiling thoughtfully with Route 66 sign in background

You may feel like your past disqualifies you, but God specializes in rewriting broken stories. No failure is stronger than His mercy, and no sin is beyond His reach.

“Though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,  and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.  The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” 1 Timothy 1:13-15


 In these verses, Paul openly admits who he used to be, a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. By human standards, he seemed completely unqualified, undeserving and completely unworthy. But he emphasizes, “I was shown mercy… Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst.” Paul did not hide his past; he highlights, stresses and accentuates it to magnify God’s grace.

When we read this passage we can see how it reminds us that Christianity is not about being “good enough” it’s about recognizing that we never were, never have been, and never will be without Jesus. Jesus didn’t come for the perfect; He came for the broken, the guilty, and the ones who think they’ve gone too far. Understand that the very thing you think and believe disqualifies you may be the exact place where God wants to show His mercy the most.

Your past doesn’t cancel you or your purpose. God’s grace is greater than your worst moment and He is still calling you.

Thought to Ponder:
 Am I defining myself by my past, or by God’s mercy?

Journaling Prompt:
Write down the mistakes or regrets that make you feel unworthy. Then write how God’s grace, according to this passage, speaks directly to those areas.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that I often feel unworthy because of my past. But thank You for showing me that Your mercy is greater than my sin. Help me receive Your grace, not resist it. Remind and show me that You came to save people like me. Give me the courage to walk in freedom, leaving shame behind. In Jesus Name Amen.

1 Peter 1:6–7

Posted on by 1 Comment
Bible open to 1 Peter chapter 1

In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Peter reminds believers that trials are not meaningless interruptions to faith; they are often the very tools God uses to strengthen it. Just as gold is purified through intense heat, genuine faith is refined through difficulties, hardships, and seasons of uncertainty. These tests reveal what is real, producing endurance, trust, and spiritual maturity. While suffering can be painful, God is at work, shaping a faith that is more valuable than earthly treasures. One day, when Christ is revealed, the faith that endured through trials will bring glory, honor, and praise to Him.

1 Timothy 1:13-15

Page from the Bible showing the title 1 Timothy and text from Paul's epistle including warnings against false doctrine

Though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

Paul’s testimony reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Before encountering Christ, he actively opposed the very faith he would later preach. Yet God’s mercy transformed his life and gave him a new purpose. This passage reveals the depth of Christ’s love and His willingness to forgive even the greatest sins. When we recognize our need for a Savior, we discover that God’s grace is greater than our past failures. Jesus came into the world to save sinners, offering hope, forgiveness, and new life to all who trust in Him.

Psalm 1:1–3

Posted on by Leave a comment
Open Bible opened to Psalm 23 alongside previous Psalms pages with a lit candle on wooden surface

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;  but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

crooked trees growing over river

These verses paint a picture of a person who chooses God’s way over the influence of the ungodly. Rather than following sinful advice or embracing worldly values, they delight in God’s Word and meditate on it continually. As a result, they become spiritually strong and fruitful, like a tree planted beside a flowing stream that never lacks nourishment. Even through difficult seasons, they remain rooted, steadfast, and productive. This passage reminds believers that true blessing, stability, and spiritual growth come from a close and consistent relationship with God and His truth.

James 1:14–15

Posted on by Leave a comment
Bible book of James

But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

James revealed that temptation often begins within our own desires. When sinful desires are entertained rather than resisted, they grow and eventually lead to sinful actions. If sin continues unchecked, it produces spiritual destruction and separation from God’s best for our lives. This passage is a warning to guard your heart and mind carefully, recognizing temptation before it takes root. God provides strength and wisdom to overcome temptation, but victory begins with acknowledging the battle early and choosing obedience over desire. Every small choice matters in your walk with Christ.

close up shot of printed paper

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

This reminds us that the people we spend time with have a powerful influence on our thoughts, attitudes, and direction in life. Wise companions encourage godly decisions, strengthen our faith, and help us grow in character. On the other hand, continually following foolish influences can lead us away from God’s best. This verse is an invitation to evaluate our relationships and seek friendships that inspire wisdom, integrity, and spiritual growth. The company we keep today often shapes the person we become tomorrow.

Open antique Bible showing The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians next to eyeglasses.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.

We can see here that Paul gives a powerful warning: the people and influences we allow into our lives can shape our character, beliefs, and choices. Good intentions alone are not enough to overcome constant negative influences. Just as iron sharpens iron, unhealthy relationships and ungodly influences can slowly pull us away from God’s truth. This verse encourages believers to be discerning about their friendships, entertainment, and daily influences. God desires us to surround ourselves with people who encourage faith, integrity, wisdom, and a closer walk with Him.

Ephesians 4:29

Open Bible showing the title Ephesians and chapter one text

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

This verse reminds believers that our words have the power to either build up or tear down. God calls us to speak in ways that encourage, strengthen, and benefit those who hear us. This means avoiding harmful, careless, or destructive speech and choosing words filled with grace, truth, and kindness. Before speaking, it is wise to ask whether our words will help others grow and draw closer to God. As followers of Christ, our conversations should reflect His love and bring life, hope, and encouragement to those around us.

Bible proverbs

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

This verse reminds us that our words carry tremendous power. That what we speak can either build up or tear down, encourage or discourage, heal or wound. God calls His people to use their speech wisely, recognizing that words often reveal the condition of the heart. Speaking truth, kindness, wisdom, and faith can bring life to those around us and strengthen our own walk with God. Before speaking, consider whether your words reflect Christ’s love and truth. Choose words that honor God and bring life, hope, and encouragement to others.

Proverbs 23:7

Posted on by 1 Comment
Proverbs Bible

For he is like one who is inwardly calculating. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

This verse reminds us that our thoughts shape our character, attitudes, and actions. What we consistently dwell on in our hearts eventually influences how we live. If our minds are filled with fear, bitterness, or negativity, those things can take root in our lives. But when we focus on God’s truth, His promises, and things that are pure and honorable, our lives begin to reflect His character. This verse encourages believers to guard their hearts carefully, knowing that inward thoughts often become outward realities.

Matthew 6:22

Posted on by 1 Comment
Bible opened to Matthew

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,

In this verse Jesus teaches that what we focus on shapes our entire life. Just as a lamp illuminates a room, our spiritual vision influences our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. When our eyes are fixed on God, His truth, and His kingdom, our lives are filled with spiritual light, wisdom, and direction. On the other hand, when we continually focus on sinful, worldly, or unhealthy influences, darkness can begin to cloud our judgment. This verse is a challenge to carefully consider what we are allowing into our hearts and minds, knowing that our focus ultimately affects our walk with God.

Bible Luke

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

In this verse Jesus teaches that what comes out of our mouths reveals what is stored in our hearts. Words are not random; they are the overflow of our inner thoughts, attitudes, and spiritual condition. A heart filled with God’s truth, love, and wisdom will produce encouraging and life-giving words. Conversely, a heart consumed by bitterness, anger, or selfishness will eventually reveal those things through speech. This verse challenges believers to focus not only on their words but also on cultivating a heart that is continually transformed by God’s presence and His Word.

God Sees Your Unseen Efforts

Posted on by Leave a comment
Stressed man sitting at desk with hands on face, glowing comforting figure behind

God has not overlooked a single act of your faithfulness, not one prayer, not one quiet sacrifice. Even when no one else sees, He remembers, and your labor in love is never wasted. God Sees What Others Don’t.

 Bible Verse:
 “God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him.” Hebrews 6:10

It’s easy to grow weary when no one seems to notice your efforts. You serve, give, love, and sacrifice, but feel invisible. Yet Scripture reminds us that God is not unjust, He sees everything. Every quiet act of kindness, every unseen sacrifice, every moment of faithfulness is recorded in heaven. You are not overlooked, you are seen by the One who matters most. Don’t let the absence of human recognition steal your motivation. Your reward is not in applause; it is in God’s faithfulness. God sees what others overlook. Every act of kindness, every quiet sacrifice, every moment you chose to serve when it was hard, none of it is wasted. We are reminded that God is just and faithful; He never forgets the love you’ve shown in His name. Even when you feel unnoticed or weary, heaven keeps a perfect record. Your service matters.

Thought to Ponder:
Whose approval am I truly living for?

Journal Prompt:
Write about a time you felt unseen, how does this verse change your perspective?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You see me even when others don’t. Help me to serve with a pure heart and not for recognition. Remind me that my labor in You is never wasted. In Jesus Name Amen.

Understanding the Value of Your Labor in God

Posted on by Leave a comment
Older man comforting young woman on park bench outdoors

In your most tired moments, it’s easy to wonder if any of this really matters. But what if every small act of faithfulness is echoing into eternity in ways you can’t yet imagine? “It’s All Worth It in the End”

 Bible Verse:
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58

In moments of weariness, it’s easy to question if any of it really matters. Some days obedience feels exhausting, and progress seems invisible. But Scripture is clear, your labor in the Lord is never in vain. Every sacrifice, every act of obedience, every moment of faithfulness carries eternal weight. You may not see the full impact now, but eternity will reveal what earth concealed. Don’t measure your impact by what you see today, measure it by what God has promised forever. Stay faithful. It’s worth it.

Stand firm, remain steadfast, and keep working for the Lord because our labor is never wasted. God sees what others overlook. He honors what feels small. What seems slow on earth is storing reward in eternity. When doubt asks, “Is it worth it?” let faith answer, “Yes, because God never wastes faithfulness.” When you’re tired, unseen, and wondering if all your effort even matters, heaven gives a clear answer: it does. Every faithful step, every quiet sacrifice, and every act done for God carries eternal value.

Thought to Ponder:
Do I believe that my faithfulness has eternal value?

Journaling Prompt:
How would my life change if I truly believed my labor is not in vain?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I am tired and feeling overwhelmed. In Matthew 11:28 You have said that I can come to You when I am exhausted and You’ll comfort me. Lord, I need comfort and rest, please help me to rest and see the light. Strengthen my heart to endure. Thank you. In Jesus Name Amen

Finding Refuge in God During Life’s Storms

Posted on by Leave a comment
Person comforting a stressed man sitting on a bench with his face in his hands

When life feels like it’s falling apart, God remains your safest place. Even when everything shakes, His strength never does.

 Bible Verse:
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. Psalm 46:1–3

God is our shelter and someone we can lean on when the world trembles. Even as confusion surrounds us and foundations shake, He is there unshakeable and standing firm. Fear can not hold and choke us when we run to Him. Today, place and cover your heart in this truth: God is near, He is powerful, and He is enough in every storm. Remember God’s presence is stronger than any threat. Praise and unshakable faith begins with trust. So take a breath and allow Him to take control.

Thought to Ponder:
If God is truly my refuge, why do I sometimes run to fear before I run to Him?

Journaling Prompt:
Write about a season when life felt unstable. How did you see God sustain you through it?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, be my refuge today. Help me praise You instead of panicking. Give me strength when I feel like I do not have any. Guide every step I take and be my light in the dark. In Jesus Name Amen

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

In the Book of Ecclesiastes verse 3:1, we’re reminded that life moves in seasons, every moment has a divine purpose under heaven. This verse emphasizes timing, patience, and trusting God’s plan, even when life feels uncertain or out of control. It does not matter whether or not you’re in a season of waiting, growth, loss, or breakthrough, this scripture encourages faith over fear. God’s timing is never random, it’s intentional, purposeful, and perfectly aligned with your journey. Understanding your season can unlock peace, clarity, and spiritual growth.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and…

Hosea 4:6

Posted on by Leave a comment
Antique Bible open to the Book of Hosea and Joel

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.

This is a sobering warning about the danger of rejecting God’s truth. The verse says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” revealing that spiritual ignorance can lead to ruin, confusion, and separation from God. This lack of knowledge is not simply the absence of information, but the refusal to know and obey God’s ways. The verse especially addresses leaders who failed to teach truth faithfully. This verse reminds believers today of the importance of studying Scripture, seeking wisdom, and living by God’s Word so that lives, families, and communities can be guided by truth and protected.

Daily Bread; Psalm 91:4

Breaking bread
Daily Bread Psalm 119:105

Daily Verse

He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4 ESV

Refuge: shelter or protection from danger, trouble, etc.; to take refuge from a storm; a place of shelter, protection, or safety; anything to which one has recourse for aid, relief, or escape.

Synonyms: asylum, fortress, haven, hideaway, hideout, hiding place, protection, resort, retreat, sanctuary, security, shelter, stronghold, safe place, way out

God’s protection is personal, gentle, and powerful. This verse paints the picture of a loving Father covering His children like a bird shelters it’s young beneath its wings. In moments of fear, uncertainty, or spiritual attack, you are not abandoned or defenseless. His faithfulness becomes your shield and refuge when life feels overwhelming. Even when storms surround you, God remains near, guarding your heart with His presence and peace. You can rest confidently knowing His love covers you completely and His promises never fail.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, place me under Your wings, shield me from the traps and deceptions that the devil is trying use to deceive and convince me with. Surround me with Your arms giving me the protection only You can Lord. Thank you for keeping me safe from the hazards while You are fighting off the things that are getting thrown at me. In Jesus Name Amen

Dear Heavenly Father, as this is read give understanding and conviction to those reading this. May there be understanding where there needs to be understanding and conviction where there needs to be conviction. Please soften the hearts of those reading this and open them to receive Your message. In Jesus Name Amen


Over the last few days I have seen all of the fighting, the name calling, insults, character bashing and I wonder why. We as Christians and human beings are told that we should not return evil with evil: 1 Peter 3: 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

That is one definition of Respect. With that said I do not blame any of the uncertainties that there are out there. I will just say one thing and that is CAKE, we all know what happened. But we have been commanded: Romans 12: 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

I know that when we observe the respect that we are expected to give others yet receive disrespect in every manner that you can imagine, it gets disheartening. We are still told that 1 Peter 23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

We should always respond with meekness: Matthew 5: 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

We have been instructed to follow in the footsteps that Jesus gave us, to walk on the path that he took. 1 Peter 21: 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

There are two things that we should never forget, his commandments to LOVE one another: Matthew 22: 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. And with that said never forget: Luke 6: 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. Jesus did not say these things were acceptable but he did say we need to Love everyone. Continue……

 “For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.

This verse reveals that God does not act without warning His people first. The verse teaches that the Lord shares His plans and purposes through His prophets, showing His mercy, justice, and desire for people to repent before judgment comes. It reminds believers that God speaks clearly through His Word and that spiritual discernment is important for understanding His guidance and direction.

The King is Coming

Posted on by Leave a comment
Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey, surrounded by people with palm branches.

They shouted “Hosanna” like a King was arriving, but didn’t realize a Savior was surrendering. Don’t just celebrate Jesus for what you want Him to do, honor Him for who He truly is.

Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna!* Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Mark 11:9

When Jesus entered Jerusalem as a humble King, and not as the political ruler people expected. He came as the Savior they desperately needed. The crowd was excited and praised Him, but most of them misunderstood His mission. If we are honest with ourselves we can do the same, celebrating Jesus while resisting His true authority in our lives. Sometimes we will overwhelmingly proclaim Jesus until it makes us uncomfortable or it gets in the way of something we want to do. This week, Easter week, begins with honest reflection: do we welcome Jesus fully, or only partially? True worship starts with surrender, looking past the end of our nose to see what is beyond, not just praise.

Thought to Ponder:
 Take 10 minutes to invite Jesus into every area of your life, especially the ones you’ve held back.

Journal Prompt:
 Where in my life am I praising Jesus, but not fully surrendering to Him?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I welcome You not just as Savior, but as King over every part of my life. Remove my misunderstandings, illusions,and shame.  Please help me see You clearly, distinctively, and understandably. Teach me to surrender fully and follow You wholeheartedly. In Jesus Name Amen.

*Hosanna:

  • The word Hosanna comes from Hebrew: “hoshia na”, which means “save us now”, “please save.” or “help us, we pray”.Over time, especially in worship, it also became a joyful expression meaning “salvation has come!” or “praise to the Savior.”
  • It’s a word that holds both desperation and hope, need and faith, all at the same time.

Bible opened to Matthew

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

This verse Jesus shares the Master’s joyful words to a faithful servant: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” This verse highlights the reward of stewardship, obedience, and faithfulness in both small and great responsibilities. It reminds us that God values consistency, trustworthiness, and a heart committed to Him. The promise of entering into the Master’s joy points to eternal reward and deep fellowship with God, encouraging believers to live with purpose, diligence, and an eternal perspective.

2 Peter 2:1-3

Stone monolith with ancient scripts, illustration of a man pointing at a wolf, and text: BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS.

But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned. In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

Peter warns that false teachers will arise among believers, quietly introducing destructive lies while appearing convincing. They exploit others with smooth words and twisted truth, driven by greed and self-interest rather than faithfulness to God. Though they may seem successful for a time, their judgment is certain. This passage calls believers to stay discerning, grounded in truth, and alert to teachings that distort the gospel for personal gain.

❤️The Heart of Worship🛐

Posted on by Leave a comment
elegant perfume bottle spritzed in dark setting

What the world calls waste, Jesus calls worship, your sacrifice for Him is never overlooked. Bold, extravagant faith stands out in a culture that misunderstands true devotion.

 “She has done a beautiful thing to me.” — Mark 14:6

When a woman poured her expensive perfume on Jesus, she offered Him something costly and deeply personal. There were others there who criticized her, but unlike them Jesus saw and knew her heart. Always consider that true worship is not measured by what others think, it’s measured by love and sacrifice. As we approach Easter something to look at and consider is: are we giving Jesus our leftovers, or our best? Never forget to remember that worship that prepares us for the cross is always going to be costly, but it will always be worth it.

Thought to Ponder:
 Give something meaningful to God today; your time, attention, or a sacrifice that stretches you.

Journal Prompt:
 What is something valuable I can give to Jesus as an act of true worship?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, teach me to worship You with sincerity and sacrifice. Take away the distractions and pride, and help me give You my best. Let my life be a beautiful offering that honors You. In Jesus Name Amen.

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”

This verse explains that Jesus’ birth fulfilled the prophecy spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child.” These verses reveal that Jesus was not an ordinary child, but the promised Messiah sent by God. The name Emmanuel, meaning “God with us,” shows that through Jesus, God came near to humanity to bring salvation, hope, and restoration.
