Energized by The Spirit
Mowing the grass for a single mom. This particular woman has her own lawn mower for me to use. There is an electric one for the back yard, which is too steep for a tractor/mower. At first It was very difficult and took a lot of energy, but I found out the electric mower had …
Deliverance From Fear
Psalms 46 begins with, in my opinion, one of the most comforting truths in scripture. That our God is a safe place for us to flee to, finding refuge; a protection/strength; and an exceedingly near aid in time of distress. "God is [our] protection/defence/refuge, an exceedingly present help in trouble." [Psa 46:1] These three aspects …

Boasting in The Cross
David says in Psalms 21:5, speaking of "the king," "His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him." This is quite remarkable. David had many earthly and fleshly things to glory of. If he wanted to boast about something of worldly value he had no lack of material. He …
Boundaries on the Waters
The Father sets boundaries on our trials and afflictions. He graciously and mercifully does this. David says to God of the waters, "Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth" [Psa 104:9] And The LORD also promises, "When thou passest through the waters, …
The Mystery of Contentment
Paul uses an interesting word in Philippians 4:12. The KJV translates it as "instructed." The word means to be initiated into the mysteries, to be initiated into a secret previously veiled. But just what kind of mystery is Paul talking about? He's not speaking of some sort of special knowledge, nor some progressive thinking, nor …
