Short and Sweet

Psalm 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

This Psalm has been showing up in my world and I decided to share it today.  I chose this verse simply because I've experienced it.  I don't have any fancy words to bring.  I just know that when I ask God to send His angels, He does.  Short and sweet.

Mercy and Compassion

Jude 22-23 Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. This is something I have struggles with, loving those who frustrate me.  How can we be merciful to those who are "corrupt" without being judgmental?  It is definitely not our place to judge one another, it is our place to love one another.  Sometimes loving the people who are rude or cruel is the hardest part of being a Christian.  My humanity would like to judge people for their behaviors and choices and lash out at them.  I believe we are only able to show true mercy and compassion for others when we accept these for ourselves from Jesus and then He lives them through us.  Allowing God to change our hearts in order that Jesus' mercy and compassion shine through is a journey.  It's not always easy.  On those difficult days, I remain quiet and ask God to love on me, so I...

Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land.  Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord. This is God's word through Ezekiel in the Valley of the Dry Bones.  There are a couple of thoughts that come to mind with this verse.  First, I have to admit that sometimes I feel as though I have dry bones.  I continue on my path and lose sight of the One who brings life. At times I am surrounded by things, people, or situations that suck the life out of me and I need the breath of life from the Spirit again.  It is a conscious effort for me to not involve myself in things that are life taking.  I make the decision to spend alone time with Jesus in order to experience His life giving power.  Second, one word in particular stands out to me in this verse.  It is the word settle.  It is speaking to me today of a peace and calm that is ahead.  Things ha...

Surrender in the Struggle

Psalm 138:8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever--do not abandon the works of your hands. Today I am bogged down by all of the little things that I am waiting for in my life.  I am disappointed in the way some things have gone and I am looking for a word of hope in what I know about God's will.  This verse is a good reminder for me that God is in the midst of the trial and that there is purpose in the struggle.  The soul growth that comes from the struggle is deeper than any other.  We must come to God in those times and it forces us to look at Him directly.  We can waste our time trying to find ways that we can step in and make God's will happen,  but if we make it happen, then it truly isn't God's will.  It very quickly becomes our will.  I must be reminded of God's plan and purpose for my life and then ask God not to abandon me when I take over.  I must surrender in the struggle.  It is God's ...
