 You are God’s Workmanship ✨

Pointing

You were not only saved from something, you were saved for something. God didn’t just rescue your life; He designed it with purpose, shaping you to reflect His goodness and carry His work into the world.


“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10


👉God intentionally created you with purpose. You are not an accident. Every step forward matters because God is working through you.God reminds us that we are not accidents, we are God’s workmanship. In Christ, God reshapes our lives with purpose and intention. Salvation is not only about being rescued from sin, but also about being prepared for a life that reflects God’s goodness. The good works we do don’t earn salvation; they flow from it. Each act of kindness, obedience, and service becomes part of the life God designed for us. Walk confidently today knowing God has already prepared meaningful ways for you to reflect His love and make an eternal difference.

Thought to Ponder:

Today, intentionally look for one opportunity to reflect God’s love through a simple act of kindness, service, or encouragement, trusting that even small actions can be part of the good work God prepared for you.

Journaling Entry:

Take time to reflect on how God has been shaping your life. Where have you seen His hand guiding you, teaching you, or changing your heart? Consider the gifts, opportunities, and passions He has given you. Ask yourself: How might these be part of the good works God prepared for me? Write about ways you have already seen God use you to encourage, serve, or help others.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, help me trust the work You are doing in me. Help me to understand when I cannot see what is going on. Help me to see what You want and effectively do Your will. In Jesus Name Amen

 Fear Does Not Come From God

Posted on by Leave a comment

Fear may shout loudly in a broken world, but it does not come from God, He has given His people power, love, and a sound mind to stand firm and live courageously in Christ.


For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7

Focus:
 Fear that paralyzes, controls, and shrinks your obedience is not from God. He gives power, love, and self-control, tools to stand firm when fear tries to dominate. God does not fill His people with fear, but with power, love, and a sound mind. Paul reminds Timothy that courage comes from the Spirit of God within us. Fear may speak loudly, but it does not define the believer’s life. Through God’s Spirit we receive strength to stand firm, love others boldly, and think clearly in difficult moments. When anxiety rises, remember what God has given you. Walk forward in faith, trusting His power to guide your steps and His love to steady your heart.

Thought to Ponder:
 Reject fearful thoughts and replace them with Scripture.

Journal Prompt:
 How does fear try to control my decisions?

Prayer:
 Dear Heavenly Father, replace my fear with Your strength and clarity. Give me direction and guide me through those things that make me afraid and question. In Jesus Name Amen

Fear vs. Faith

Posted on by Leave a comment
wave on sea shore

 Storms often reveal what we truly believe about God’s presence and power.

He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?” Mark 4:40

Focus:
When the storm raged and the disciples panicked, Jesus asked a revealing question: “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Our fear can grow when we forget who is with us. Mark 4:40 reminds us that the presence of Christ is greater than any storm we will face. Faith does not mean the storms disappear, but it trusts that Jesus is the one who is in control. When anxiety rises, return your focus to Him. The One who calms the wind and waves also steadies the hearts of those who trust Him. Jesus asked His disciples why fear overcame faith, not because storms aren’t real, but because He was present. Fear grows when we focus on waves instead of the Savior.

Thought to Ponder:
 When anxiety rises, pause and pray before reacting.

Journal Prompt:
 What “storm” is challenging my faith right now?

Prayer:
 Dear Heavenly Father, help me trust You during the chaos and storms. Guide my feet so I know where to take my next step. Give me the strength to move even when it feels impossible. In Jesus Name Amen

You are Not Alone

Posted on by Leave a comment

When life feels like you’re walking into the battle alone, remember this: you never take a single step without God beside you, His strength goes before you, His presence walks with you, and His promise stands firm: He will never leave you or abandon you.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

God never sends you forward by yourself. Even when you feel isolated or unsure, His presence goes with you. You can take the next step knowing He is near. God does not promise an easy path, but He promises His presence. Strength and courage grow when we remember we never walk alone. The Lord goes before us, stands beside us, and will not abandon us when challenges rise. Fear loses its grip when faith remembers who leads the way. When uncertainty presses in, hold fast to His truth: God is faithful, His presence is constant, and His strength is sufficient for every step ahead.

Call to Action:
Today, take one step forward in faith instead of fear. Remind yourself that God is with you, and move boldly into the task, decision, or challenge you’ve been avoiding.

Journal Prompt:
Where in your life do you currently feel alone, afraid, or uncertain? Write about that situation honestly, then reflect on how God’s promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you, changes the way you can face that challenge today.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You, God, for walking with me today and being the light in the darkness. In Jesus Name Amen

The Trap of Offense

Posted on by Leave a comment

“Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.” Psalm 119:165


 Offense is a stumbling block that robs peace and clarity. It often feels justified, but Scripture says peace, not reaction, is the fruit of loving God’s truth. When being offended controls us, it controls our responses, relationships, and joy. God invites us into a steadiness that cannot be easily shaken, even when others act wrongly. 

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, show me where offense has taken root in my heart. Help me to understand what is offending me. Help me release it. Lord,I choose Your peace over my reactions. Teach me to walk unoffended. In Jesus Name Amen.

Daily Action:
Pause before reacting today. Choose silence or prayer instead of instant response.

Journal Prompt:

 Shepherds Are Called to Protect

Posted on by Leave a comment
shepherd


 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep. You haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor. Ezekiel 34:2–4


God holds leaders to a higher standard because their choices affect many. Spiritual authority is never meant to shield wrongdoing but to guard those entrusted to their care. Ezekiel’s rebuke reminds us that neglecting protection is a form of failure before God. True shepherds intervene, confront, and act decisively to keep the flock safe. Leadership that prioritizes image over integrity abandons its calling. Faithful leadership reflects God’s heart by choosing protection over popularity.

Thoughts to Ponder
 Pray for leaders to act with courage and accountability.

Journal Prompt:
 How do I define faithful leadership according to Scripture rather than culture?

Closing Prayer:
 Dear Heavenly Father, raise up shepherds who protect, guide, and lead with integrity. Lord give them Your heart, help them to see the way You see, and do and act the way You would. In Jesus Name Amen.

You Can’t Demand Respect While Giving None: The Silent Crisis Between Generations

Posted on by Leave a comment

“You Can’t Demand Respect While Showing None: The Leadership Failure Fueling Today’s Cultural Divide”

Everywhere you look, people are demanding respect, but fewer people seem willing to give it. Many older voices insist younger generations must honor them simply because of age or position, yet too often those same voices model criticism, ignorance, arrogance, or dismissal toward others. This contradiction has quietly shaped the culture we now live in. When respect is demanded but not demonstrated, trust collapses, resentment grows, and entire generations begin rejecting the very idea of honor. If we want to understand why society feels increasingly divided and hostile, we must first examine the example set by those who have expected respect the most.

Respect has been something that has been spoken of as something that should automatically be given to our older generations. While Scripture does encourage honoring elders (You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:32). If we read the bible we can see that biblical honor is closely connected with character, humility, and wisdom. A serious problem arises when individuals demand respect based solely on age or authority while consistently showing disrespect, harshness, or disregard for others. When we allow it, respect becomes something demanded rather than modeled, it loses its moral authority.

As we grow up we learn far more from what we observe than from what they are told. If older leaders, whether parents, elders, teachers, community figures, or church leaders, speak about honor while acting with impatience, arrogance, ignorance, or hypocrisy, the message becomes confusing. This contradiction breeds cynicism. Young people begin to associate “respect” with control rather than mutual dignity. Over time, they may reject the entire concept because they see it as unfair or one-sided. Why wouldn’t they?

This continual pattern has contributed to the broader cultural breakdown of civility. When respect is not demonstrated by those asking for it, society begins to treat respect as optional or transactional. Public discourse becomes harsher, authority is distrusted, and generational relationships fracture. What should have been a chain of wisdom passed down becomes a cycle of resentment.

Biblically, leadership and maturity are meant to be examples. Older believers are called to model patience, gentleness, and integrity so that younger people can see respect lived out in action:

 “ That older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance, and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good, that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded. In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, and incorruptibility. Titus 2:2–7”

True authority grows from humility and consistency. When respect is both given and demonstrated, it restores trust and helps rebuild the moral fabric that healthy communities depend upon.

The truth is simple but uncomfortable: respect cannot be forced, demanded, or commanded into existence, it must be demonstrated. When those with age, authority, or influence fail to show humility, patience, and dignity toward others, they weaken the very standard they claim to defend. Over time, younger generations stop listening not because they hate wisdom, but because they rarely see true wisdom and respect practiced. If society is ever going to recover a culture of honor, it will not begin with louder demands for respect. It will begin when people, especially those in positions of maturity and leadership, choose to model the very respect they hope to receive. Real honor is not claimed; it is earned through consistent character.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Fear Has a Voice

Posted on by Leave a comment
portrait of man on survival in forest


“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3

Fear is a natural response when life feels uncertain, when the uncertainties and chaos become overwhelming. We can see that this verse gives us a better direction for our hearts: trust. David never pretended fear is absent; instead he chooses where to place it. Instead of letting fear control him, he places his confidence in God. Trust redirects our focus from the size of the problem to the power of the One who holds us. When anxiety rises, let it become a signal to turn toward God in prayer. Fear may visit, but it does not have to rule. In every uncertain moment, choose trust and rest in God’s faithful care. God invites us not to hide fear but to place it directly into His hands.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I bring my fear to You today. Teach me to trust You when fear rises. In Jesus Name Amen.

Thought to Ponder:
 Name your biggest fear out loud to God.

 Light Exposes, It Does Not Hide

Posted on by Leave a comment
photo of person covering his face


“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11


God’s word is a message of light, not concealment. The Bible calls believers to expose evil, not protect it through silence. When wrongdoing is hidden “for the sake of unity” or reputation, darkness becomes empowered and held up. God’s healing and justice begin with truth. Exposing harm is not divisive; it is redemptive. A church that walks in the light creates safety, accountability, and trust. Truth may be painful, but secrecy always destroys.

Thought to Ponder
 Commit and walk in truth, even when it feels too costly.

Journal Prompt:

Led, Loved, and Never Alone

1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (Psalm 23)

We are reminded that God is not distant, He is our Shepherd. He leads, provides, protects, and restores. Even when life moves through dark valleys, we are never abandoned. God’s presence brings peace, not fear. This psalm invites us to trust His guidance daily, rest in His care, and believe that His goodness and mercy are not temporary blessings, but faithful companions that follow us all the days of our lives.

Thought to Ponder:
 Today, intentionally pause and acknowledge God as your Shepherd. When a worry arises, pray Psalm 23 aloud and choose to trust His guidance instead of rushing to control the outcome.

Journaling Prompt:

  • Where do you most need to trust God’s leading right now; green pastures, still waters, or a dark valley?

Running on Empty? God Refills

Posted on by Leave a comment
a bearded man resting against a post

But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31


Feeling exhausted doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’ve been carrying a lot. God has never expected you to rely only on your own strength. We are promised renewal for those who wait on Him. Waiting isn’t quitting; it’s trusting. When we slow down and lean into God, He replaces your burnout with endurance and your frustration with peace.

Call to Action:
 Pause today and intentionally bring your exhaustion to God.


Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I’m tired, and I need You. Please renew my strength and teach me to rely on You instead of myself. In Jesus Name Amen

God’s Heart for the Vulnerable

Posted on by Leave a comment
heartwarming brown bear mother and cub interaction

Defend the vulnerable and stand up for those who cannot stand alone. God calls His people not to overlook injustice, but to actively protect the weak and rescue those in danger.

“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”  Psalm 82:3–4

 God consistently reveals His heart for those who cannot defend themselves. Children are not secondary to the mission of the church, they are central to God’s considerations. The Bible does not treat protection as optional compassion but as moral obedience. When the church overlooks warning signs or excuses harmful behavior, it contradicts God’s clear command to defend the vulnerable. True gospel ministry reflects God’s justice and care, not institutional convenience. Protecting children is not a distraction from ministry; it is an expression of it.

Application:
 Choose to see protection as biblical obedience, not an inconvenience.

Thought to Ponder
 Where might God be calling me to defend someone vulnerable more intentionally?

Prayer:
 Dear Heavenly Father, align my heart with Yours. Give me eyes to see the vulnerable and courage to act in love and truth. Give the strength to stand in the chaos and turmoil that these truths might cause. In Jesus Name Amen

Don’t Quit on a Bad Day

Posted on by Leave a comment
man in blue and brown plaid dress shirt touching his hair

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up. Galatians 6:9


 It’s easy to feel motivated when life is going well, but faith is tested when it’s not. This verse reminds us that doing the right thing doesn’t always feel rewarding right away. God sees every prayer, every act of obedience, and every moment you choose not to give up. Just because you don’t see results yet doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Growth first happens underground before it shows above the surface.

Call to Action:
 Today, choose not to quit, especially where you feel tired.

Prayer:
 Dear Heavenly Father, help me stay faithful in the chaos, disorder and turmoil, even when I don’t see immediate results. Give me strength to keep going and trust You with the outcome. In Jesus Name Amen

Love That Looks Like Jesus

Posted on by Leave a comment
Jesus

The credibility of our witness depends not only on what we believe, but on how we love. When love looks like Jesus, the world notices, not because we are perfect, but because we are different. In times of division and hostility, Christ calls His Church to love in ways that reflect Him.

Scripture: John 13:34–35; Romans 12:9–18

Examination:

Love is always easy when everyone agrees with you. It will come naturally when our relationships are comfortable and conversations feel safe. The Bible makes it clear that the love Jesus calls His followers to is not through measured convenience, it is revealed in difficulty. Chaos and crisis does not create love; it exposes what kind of love we truly carry.

In John 13:34–35, Jesus gives His disciples a new command: to love one another as He has loved them. His command does not come during a moment of peace, but instead it was right before the eve of betrayal, denial, and the cross. Jesus knew that fear, confusion, and division were about to test His followers. Love, He taught them, would be the unmistakable mark of those who belonged to Him.

The world’s culture has a version of love that is often conditional. It loves when they are affirmed, and will withdraw when challenged, and retaliates when wounded. Christlike love is different. Romans 12:9–18 shows us that love is sincere, it’s love that clings to what is good, honors others, seeks peace, and overcomes evil with good. True love does not ignore truth, but it refuses to surrender compassion. It does not compromise convictions, but it never abandons grace.

In times of extreme chaos and crisis, love becomes costly. There will be times when it means listening when it would be easier to argue. Sometimes it will mean showing patience when emotions run high. One of the hardest things sometimes will be refusing to dehumanize people who see the world differently, when they are pushing and doing things that do not make sense to us. Practicing this love does not mean that we agree with everything, it means understanding everyone is someone Christ died for.

When believers respond with harshness, defensiveness, or contempt, the gospel becomes harder to hear. But when believers personify love with humility and courage, hearts soften, even if minds do not immediately change. We must resist the temptation to mirror the world’s anger. Instead, it must reflect Christ’s heart. Loving well in difficult times may be the most powerful testimony believers can offer.

My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure. I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come. Psalm 71:15-18 

Christlike love will require self-examination. Crisis can amplify frustration, impatience, and fear. If we leave these emotions unchecked, we can quietly reshape how believers speak and act.Romans 12:9–18 challenges us to pause and ask: Is my love genuine? Am I seeking peace, or proving a point? Am I reflecting Christ, or simply reacting to pressure?

In a divided and hurting world, love that looks like Jesus stands out. It speaks truth without arrogance. It offers grace without compromise. It holds convictions firmly while holding people gently. This kind of love does not blend in, it shines.

Thoughts to Ponder

  1. Who is God calling you to love more intentionally?
  2. How can you show Christlike love without compromising truth?
  3. What attitudes might need to change in your heart?

Choose today to let love, not fear or frustration, guide your responses.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, teach me to love like You love. Soften my heart and shape my words and actions to reflect Your grace. Help me to walk the path that You want me to take, make obvious so that I can walk confidently in it. Use my life to point others to You. In Jesus Name Amen

Truth Without Fear

Posted on by Leave a comment
chaos

The Church has been called to stand on truth His truth even when it is unpopular or resisted.

Scripture: John 8:31–32; Ephesians 6:14

Examination:

One of the first casualties when chaos and crisis hits is truth. Fear will overwhelmingly pressure people to compromise, stay silent, or soften convictions. When we get to know Jesus we’ll understand that He made it clear: truth is not optional, it is freeing.

Truth will become challenged the most when fear is at its highest. During times of crisis, people crave certainty, but they often reject the very truth that can anchor them. The Bible reminds us that truth is not merely an idea or opinion, it is revealed by God and embodied in Jesus Christ. When Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” He was not offering some catchy marketing slogan; He was offering and extending out a lifeline.

Fear pressures believers to soften their positions causing them to stay unnoticed, or try to become camouflage. It whispers that standing there and speaking truth will cost too much, our relationships, opportunities, approval, or peace. But when has fear ever been a reliable guide for faithful living. When fear leads, compromise always follows. When truth leads, freedom prospers.

The Church is called to be “girded with truth,” as described in Ephesians 6. A belt may seem like a small piece of armor, but it holds everything together. Without a good belt, the armor collapses. In the same way, if we neglect the truth, every other aspect our of Christian life weakens. Love becomes a sentimental momento. Grace becomes vague. Faith becomes fragile. Truth grounds everything.

Standing for truth does not mean being loud, harsh, or combative using it as a weapon. Jesus Himself was full of grace and truth. He never compromised what was right and truthful, and He never weaponized the truth to dominate others. His courage was calm, His conviction steady, His authority rooted in love. This is the model the Church needs to follow in times of crisis. Never using it as a baseball bat, but never compromising the truth. To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.(James 4:17)

Fear will distort our view of opposition. It convinces us that disagreeing is dangerous and that when we come against resistance we are defeated. But Scripture tells a different story. The early Church faced hostility, imprisonment, and public pressure, but they prayed for strength, clarity and boldness, not safety. They understood that obedience mattered more than personnel comfort and that truth was worth the cost.

Speaking truth without love becomes destructive. Love without truth becomes deceptive. God calls His people to hold both together. When surrounded with a culture where truth is often redefined or dismissed, your truth, my truth, everyone’s truth, the Church must remain anchored, not arrogant, not angry, but assured. We do not need to embellish the truth. It does not need permission. It only needs faithful witnesses.

Fear does not always silence us loudly; sometimes it quiets us subtly. It shapes how we speak, or don’t speak. It determines which conversations we avoid and which convictions we keep private. Over time, silence born of fear can dull our spiritual courage.

God has not given His people a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) Courage is not the absence of fear, it is walking through it in spite of it. When we stand on the truth with humility and confidence, God uses our faithfulness in ways you may never fully see.

In times of crisis, the Church does not need to shout louder than the world, it needs to stand unyielding despite the world. When truth is lived consistently, spoken wisely, and rooted deeply in Christ it becomes a beacon of hope. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.(Romans 15:13)

Ask where fear may have influenced your faith. Invite the Holy Spirit to renew boldness, not the boldness of confrontation, but the boldness of conviction. The world does not need less truth. It needs truth without fear.

Thoughts to Ponder

  1. Where have you felt pressure to stay silent about your faith?
  2. How can you speak truth with both courage and grace?
  3. What fears do you need to surrender to God?

Ask God for boldness that flows from love, not fear.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, ground me in Your truth. Remove fear from my heart and give me courage to stand faithfully for You. Teach me to speak with grace and conviction, give me the word I need to be Your example. In Jesus Name Amen

1 Corinthians 10:13; Fearless

Posted on by Leave a comment

“No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

Thoughts to Ponder

Temptation is never unique, and it is never unbeatable. Paul reminds us that God knows our limits and remains faithful in every trial. He does not promise a temptation-free life, but He always provides a way through it. When pressure feels overwhelming, look for God’s escape route, often found in obedience, prayer, Scripture, and wise choices. This verse invites confidence, not fear. You are not alone, you are not trapped, and you are not powerless. With God’s help, endurance is possible, faith can stand, and victory is within reach.


Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen

No Fear

Biblical faith is not pretending everything is fine; it is choosing trust when everything is uncertain. Fear says, “What if?” Faith says, “Even if.” Even if the economy shifts. Even if health falters. Even if the future is unclear. God remains faithful.


Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen

Attacked

Attacked

As we get rid of the “stuff” that is always #haunting us we will be attacked, our war is a #spiritualwar Ephesians 6:12 that is being fought for our souls. So when things are going good expect that there will be road blocks 2 Timothy 3:12.  Some get ticked off because of the attacks; can I give you some perspective? You are that important to God that the devil is attacking you trying to make you doubt what you are doing trying to make you think that you are not worth it or even making you think that you are doing it wrong.

What have you ever done that was worth something and was easy to do? Sit back smile and know that you are loved by God, you’ve been chosen John 15:16, you are being attacked by someone so consumed by jealousy he wants to destroy you, the devil is attacking you. The definition of Doubt:  a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction, questioning the truth, fear and being afraid. When you let all of that “junk” in do you think you will be able to see clearly? Remember when you feel like you are drowning look to your guide. The one that if you allow him will be your life preserver, the light to your path John 1:5.

Know that when you are in the thick of it we are reassured: If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their indication from me, declares the Lord.” Isaiah 54:15-17 ESV

There seems to be something going on everywhere we turn. The division that has become an expected normal. The violence that appears to have gasoline being pored on it, always keeping it going. The lies that are getting told and accepted as truth. It feels like we are in a flood with our heads under the water not being able to breathe. Never forget God is there to help you walk through everything that is going on. No matter if it is around the world or if it is your personal life He has your back.

What God Says

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. Psalm 121:5-6

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I feel like I am surrounded by so much uneasiness, there seems to be turmoil every place I turn. Lord I need You. As I open this bible show me the direction and directive that You intend me to walk, Lord surround me with Your fiery chariots that Elisha had around him in 2 Kings 6:17 and have them remove the attacks, whispers, and distractions. In Jesus Name Amen
