“After All”

“Everything I did, I did right in front of you, for you saw it all. Against you, and you above all, have I sinned.” (Psalm 51:4) After all, it ends up that these are the words that make us strong and take us to the heart of God. These words rolled off the lips of King David, known as “a man after God’s own heart,” yet, known as an adulterer, murderer and cover up artist. HOW CAN IT BE?

While in process of assessing my thoughts, my faith feet and my joy meter, a striking question crossed my path. “Can trust and distrust hold hands?” (2 Cor 6:14-16 MSG) What a vivid picture.

“Be Boisterous In Battle”

The Lord “spoke and created.” (Genesis 1:3) All went from void-less and empty to abundant and life giving, “by God’s spoken Word.” We choose life the same. Our words hold the power of life and death.

Personal paraphrase (John 1:14) Be intent on hearing His Voice of Truth, and swift to speak up over a misaligned mind. Jesus spoke with power and confidence. His message is unchanging, it holds the keys to life now and life eternal. When unleashed it changes everything. Do you read His … Continue reading“Be Boisterous In Battle”
