Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:30, KJV) Jesus said not to be anxious about anything food, body, or clothing related. Have you noticed though, how society screams at us daily: “Be anxious about all things food, body, and clothing related! You need prettier food! A prettier body! Prettier clothes! You’re incomplete, damaged, and a bundle of imperfections!” And they scramble to sell us goals and products and styles that will…
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8, KJV). In the years since the start of the pandemic, I’ve wrestled with staying informed and staying peaceful. I care about…
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his…

Proverbs 16:4 “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps” I’m not the type of person that likes to have plans set in stone, nor am I completely a free spirit. I’m somewhere right in the middle of let me know where to be and when, and let’s take it as it comes. It’s an entirely different story when it comes to God’s will for my life though. I panic when I can’t see what He is doing in my life, and I struggle to give Him full control. I try and take matters into my own…
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24 KJV). My past does not dictate my future. My past is under the blood of Jesus! See me today as I grow and mature in the Lord. I declare I am committed! I am changed! I ask you, my dear sisters, to hold hands together with me as we nurture the gifts God has given to each of us. When we help each other and love each other as sisters in the Lord, the beauty of Jesus will be seen in our…
“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” James 5:16 Have you ever listened to someone pray and thought, “I wish I could learn to pray like that?” Their words just seem to flow so freely to the Lord, and we think surely the Lord must be pleased with their eloquent words and will answer their requests. Why can’t I pray like that? Sometimes it seems like we stumble and stammer over our words and wonder if the Lord even hears us. Sometimes we cannot even find the words to pray, and we can only whisper the name…
“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.” (II Thessalonians 3:3, NKJV) I feel like I am a hospitable person, but some of my recent “guests” have been very trying. They entered my home uninvited and proceeded to make themselves comfortable. If I hadn’t taken steps to get them out, I think they may have stayed forever. Has your home ever been invaded like that? First it was a squirrel that chewed its way into my attic. I suspect the large oak tree that overhangs the roof may have given it a good…
