Safe in the Lord

"1 Those who go to God Most High for safety will be protected by the Almighty.
 
2 I will say to the Lord, 'You are my place of safety and protection.  You are my God and I trust you.'

3 God will save you from hidden traps and from deadly diseases. 

4 He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you can hide.  His truth will be your shield and protection.

5 You will not fear any danger by night or an arrow during the day.

6 You will not be afraid of diseases that come in the dark or sickness at noon.

7 At your side one thousand people may die, or even ten thousand right beside you, but you will not be hurt. 

8 You will only watch and see the wicked punished. 

9 The Lord is your protection, and you have made God Most High your place of safety.

10 Nothing bad will happen to you; no disaster will come to your home. 

11 He has put His angels in charge of you to watch over you wherever you go.

12 They will catch you in their hands so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.

13 You will walk on lions and cobras; you will step on strong lions and snakes.

14 The Lord says, 'Whoever loves Me, I will save.  I will protect those who know Me.  

15  They will call to Me, and I will answer them.  I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them. 

16  I will give them a long, full life, and they will see how I can save."

~Psalm 91~

When you are afraid, call out to the Lord and thank Him for His protection.  Put your trust in Him, and He will protect you from every danger!  You will be safe in the Lord!

Standing Strong Against Temptation

There's one thing that we won't be able to run from no matter how many times we try to, and that's temptation. Temptation is always coming at us every which way. There's temptation when you go to school or work, when you're alone, and when you're hanging out with friends. There's temptation to watch ungodly movies, read ungodly books, and listen to ungodly music.There's temptation to take things into our bodies that we shouldn't be. You might not even realize you're being tempted at the moment, because the temptation is something a lot of your friends are doing, and it's normal to them. For instance, eating something sweet right before you go to bed. Or drinking pop when your parents told you not to. Or taking that extra piece of candy when no one was looking. But don't worry; you're not alone! We're all being tempted to do things. We're all human. Even Jesus was tempted when He was fasting for forty days. So, what do

Book Spotlight - To Slay a Curse by Rae Graham

Today I have a different kind of post than I normally write. A good friend of mine wrote and published her first book! She takes Biblical concepts and puts them into an adventure-filled story full of forgiveness and hope. Definitely worth the read!  I encourage you to check it out :) A parasitic monster. A timid young woman. A deadly inner world. Giselle is cursed. A monster lives within her, preying upon her mind. She sees no hope for her future when thoughts disappear as they form, and every small pleasure is met with a fit of pain. Then her closest friend offers her a single, harrowing chance at freedom. Terrified that failure is inevitable, but desperate for the life stolen from her, she sets out to slay her curse armed with a magical talisman. Now, the girl who can’t do anything right must defeat the beast within before her dreamsnare fills, or risk dying trapped in her own mind.  What Readers are Saying: “This book excels at feeling cozy, heartwarming, and altogether lovely!

The Battle Between the Poverty and Prosperity Gospels

My family and I have visited many churches over the years, so we have seen how several different denominations hold their services. Some of these churches have either been all for the prosperity gospel, or very much against it - that we should live as poor people like Jesus did.  In one particular church that we had been attending for quite some time, my family and I witnessed several situations that were very concerning to us. In the youth group, I remember everyone going around the room, saying what they were "believing" for. But the things they were believing for - every one of them was material possessions. When it got to my turn, I just kinda blurted out that I was believing for a piano. It was honestly the first thing I could think of at the moment, and I didn't want to look stupid in front of all these teens. Well, when you're afraid you're going to look stupid, oftentimes people pick up on that and decide to dig.  "Do you have a verse you
