Psalm 3:3-4 NIV
But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
As I read this scripture, I picture myself in the middle of a war zone that I must go through to make it to my destination. As I am traveling through that war zone that seems never ending, I am in protective armor that protects me from all weapons fired at me by the enemy. The war zone,

Psalm 118:5-6-NIV
When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
Who and what do you turn to as you face hardship in your life? Every solution that is offered by our society is temporary. Oftentimes, most solutions that the world offers to our problems are conditional. God is the only solid and genuine solution to all our hardships without any condition. Whether we messed up or misused his solutions or blessings, he still loves us and seeks a relationship with us. When God is on your side your

Psalm 119:11 NIV
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
When you woke up this morning, was God's word the first in your mind? We live in a busy and stressful society where our heart and mind are always being tugged in different directions. Hiding God's Word in our heart takes being persistent and intentional. Jesus exemplifies the importance of hiding God's word in our heart so that we can stand strong against the devil’s schemes throughout our testing times in this world (Mark 1:35, Mathew 4:1-11).If we do not hide the Word of God in our heart, we

Psalm 34:12-13-NLT
Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies!
I recently read a statement that I can’t recall the exact wording, but it says something like: Lying has become the norm of society, therefore telling the truth has become an extraordinary thing to do. As you read these scriptures, do you find your mind spinning like mine did? It appears to me the opposite of what the scripture says is happening all around me. It seems that those who lie

Psalm 23:1-NIV
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
Who is Lord of your life? The word Lord signifies that someone or something has full authority, power and influence over your life. That person or thing is your master and is also the source of your being. Is that who Jesus is your life? When David wrote this verse, it is obvious he was referring to how he views God’s authority in his life. God gave David the confidence that he lacks nothing as long as his creator is his shepherd. Does this message reflect your relationship with Jesus? Jesus calls us to carry our burdens to him (Mathew

Psalm 28:5-NIV
Because they regard not the work of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
What areas in your life that you know you are not being obedient to God’s Work? Let’s choose the work of the Lord and his perfect example through Jesus Christ in our lives so that he can build us up to our fullest potentials. The best way to assess this area of your life is to observe where and what you spend most of your time doing, thinking about or wishing for. Where your energy is being spent that is usually a clear indication of your work.
