Encouraging Women to Passionately Pursue God
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 8 Just…
2 This I declare about the Lord:He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are…
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 Tired? I bet we can all answer that affirmatively. The mental stress of living in a pandemic wears a person out, body and soul. I need rest. I bet you do too. We all need…
How’re you doing? Really. Are you shocked, confused, bewildered? Trying to stay positive for those around you, knowing maybe, (like me) it’s an uphill battle to keep a sincere smile upon your face?

“But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge – to the great amazement of the governor.” Matthew 27:14 (NIV) The time had come. Awaiting His sentence, He stood silently before the Governor, Pilate. The memories of betrayal, of the rough guards “guiding” Him through the garden, still fresh in His mind. Jesus…
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.” Proverbs 16:20 NIV Jesus’ final day as a free man. His last chance to instruct His disciples on what they needed to know, to do, and how to make life work. Jesus knew His time with His disciples was…
“You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” Matthew 22:29 (NIV) Five days until death would be conquered. Five days to teach, to love, and to encourage.
