Fearless Bed of Comfort
Psalm 23 is one of the most universally recognized passages in the Scriptures. It is cherished for offering profound comfort and hope. The Psalmist, believed to be David, conveys utter confidence and unwavering conviction in God’s protection. David depicts his circumstance as having provision amid adversity (reference Psalm 22). The Lord is my Shepherd, I […]
The “I Shall Not Want” Life
Lack is essentially a scarcity mindset. The focus is typically on what you do not have. It is rooted in fear, self-reliance, comparison, and distrust as a result of anxiety, envy, hoarding, perpetual dissatisfaction, and feeling empty. Of which, the basis is from the world’s narrative, and system of disconnection from the Shepherd. Prosperity is […]
Sufficiency Over Scarcity with the Lord, My Shepherd
Seems ironic but it has been said that ancient near Eastern kings would call themselves Shepherds of their people. The writing of Psalm 23 has been attributed to David who was a king, understood God as King of kings, and addressed Jehovah as his Shepherd. Incidentally, David had no lack. He had sufficient provision to […]
In the Shadow of the Almighty
We must strive to demonstrate faith over fear while observing the Most High as our dwelling place. When we trust God and His sovereignty, we shift our focus from circumstances to His Power. Divine shelter and refuge in God invites our active and engaging participation. Like David facing Goliath, we declare, “The Lord who rescued […]
Refuge in God’s Divine Protection
Uncertainties. Global crises. Personal struggles. Sounds familiar, right? These are moments in life that can stoke fears to threaten and overwhelm us. However, God’s protection offers profound comfort. But what does it truly mean to be “protected” by God? Let’s explore the promise of God’s safeguarding presence. Scripture repeatedly affirms God as our protector. It […]
Living the Protected Life
Understanding that God has a hedge around us should fill us with peace and confidence. However, it’s important to remember that this protection doesn’t mean we’ll never face difficulties. Instead, God is with us in the midst of trials and tribulation, working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Even when we can’t see […]
God’s Protective Hedge
It’s comforting to know that we are not left to navigate life alone and we can move forward in faith with our Guardian and Protector. As believers, we have the assurance that God’s protection surrounds us like a hedge, shielding us from harm and guiding us through every season. Psalm 139:5 and Psalm 34:7 reminds […]
Forward Pursuit of the Mark
Moving forward in faith also requires trusting God’s word, especially when circumstances seem to cause conflicting views. It’s easy to doubt when we face difficulties, but let this be a reminder that God’s protection is not limited by our understanding or our timeline. He works in ways we cannot always see, and His promises are […]
Flawless Promises
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to place our trust, especially when there is uncertainty, shifting opinions, and broken promises. As believers, we are reminded that God’s word stands firm, unchanging, and utterly reliable and He shall keep His words forever. Psalm 12:5-7 beautifully captures this truth. He will keep the needy […]
Steady Your Faith With Action
The relationship between faith and works has been a topic of curiosity in religious and non-religious conversations, alike. While faith is the foundation of our relationship with God, the role of works in demonstrating and living out that faith is even more important. The scriptures provide clear guidance on this matter, emphasizing that genuine faith […]
Work It Out to Walk It Out
Experiencing the fullness of our faith depends on how we walk by faith. A known concept about faith from the scriptural perspective is that it requires working it out, otherwise, it is plain dead being stagnant, doing nothing (James 2:17). Know that there are methodology and practices of which we are justified by the works […]
Faith is Substance and Evidence
…blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed ~John 20:29 (KJV) An aspect of faith that we sometimes neglect to consider is the tendency to formulate our criterion for faith. We inherently decide why we believe and trust that a particular thing will occur in our lives. For instance, when we sit […]
Let Your Faith Be Heard
What is the substance (i.e., the tangible matter of which a thing consists) that convinces you of what you are hoping for will actually manifest? What is the evidence (i.e., data on which to base proof or to establish truth or falsehood) that makes you convinced of what you do not see yet in front […]
The Irrelevance of Meager Faith
Have you noticed that in situations where you are trying to make faith connections, that some results take a lengthy time to manifest and others seem immediate. There must be a magic formula to this faith stuff, right? Well, I am not entirely convinced that we may assert magic to be involved in the execution […]
