But You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head (Psalm 3:3). The Lord is my shield, my covering, my protection, no matter what comes my way. He is that for us, His children and bride. Whether it’s people or false accusers, He is our shield. Whether it’s…

God’s Presence in Our Lives Part 2
After my last post, I have to ask, are you knowing God’s presence? Or are you feeling it? Either way, God is present. I know this to be true, but still, after I hit publish last time, my thoughts continued dwelling on so many questions about God’s presence in our lives. Is there a difference…
God’s Presence in Our Lives
Sometimes, the presence of the Lord is palpable. God’s presence in our lives is unmistakable. Sometimes, the emotions are overwhelming and the feelings so incredible. And then there are days when feelings are dry and the knowledge of God’s presence is completely by faith, prayer for God’s presence desperate. On these days, I know God…
God Doesn’t Make Mistakes
When the road gets long, or hard, or just plain strange, it’s easy to wonder how in the world we got where we are, or if we should be in this place at all. But God is the one who directs our steps, and God doesn’t make mistakes (Proverbs 16:9; Psalm 37:23-24). I pray that…
Feeling and Knowing
“I am always with you. I am with you.” The Lord is always with us even when it doesn’t seem like it. When we can’t feel Him, He is with us. The Bible never talks about feeling God that I’m aware of. It talks about loving God. It talks about knowing Him. It talks about…
The Lord Loves You – Remain in Him
I asked the Lord for a word from Him for those reading my blog. He spoke, and as He did, I realized He was speaking to me. This word He was blessing me with was a word for me. So I spent some time taking it in, meditating on it, pondering what He’s saying here.…
If God Is For Us
The Word of the Lord stands forever. And the Lord stands in my midst. He is the Good Shepherd, shepherding me, shepherding His people, shepherding all who come to the waters, the living waters to drink. The Lord is a strong tower and is mighty. He fights for His own. He fights for us, all…
Remember and Know
“My people, remember…in order that you might know the righteous acts of the Lord.” Micah 6:5 He’s speaking here of Balak and Balaam, when Balak wanted Balaam to curse the Israelites and God stepped in, convicted Balaam, gave language to a donkey, and instead caused Balaam to bless the Israelites. (Numbers 22) God gave a…
God is Good
God is good. I need to live and choose joy. I need to glorify His Name. There are hard days and there are easy days, good days and bad days, but that doesn’t change that my God is good. My God is on His throne. My God doesn’t change. My God’s word is good. God…
God is Always With Me
God is always with us. He’s always with me. He is the God of my salvation. He is the rock of my refuge. And He’s always with me. God is with me whether I’m full of faith or full of doubt. He’s my salvation either way. He gave me my faith. He knows what I’m…
