How do I trust again?

This daily devotion stole my heart this morning. With all that is going on (again), I found great comfort in her words, in her determination to draw her strength from the Lord, and to trust again...

. .. Lord, I don’t want to do this again... 
... With tears, I whispered the beautiful words over and over until they soaked into my heart: Blessed is the {woman} who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord... 
... Maybe you are in a hard place today. Perhaps it’s a place you've encountered before, and it’s the last place you wanted to be...

Go in Peace and Walk in the Freedom of Who Christ Created You to Be

I awoke with a heavy heart this morning, a heaviness that has only grown stronger over the past couple weeks, and tears on the verge of piercing my already inflamed & tired eyes. Searching through God's word this morning I am desperate for a SOAPing in God’s word to wash this from me...

My Core, My Foundation

Matthew 7:24-27 Message

These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.

“But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.

The words God gives to us in the bible through Jesus ARE the core of who we are to build ourselves up in. Applying and working His words into my life give me the gateway to his peace and strength through his loving, guiding words.

Spending time in God's word is helping to continue to build the foundation of who I am in Christ and who I am to others because of His light within me. Soaping is creating a deeper avenue in this area of my walk with God.

Holy Spirit, fill me a fresh with the words of the living God. Let my foundation continue to be solid and grounded in You, Lord. Let my life show Your strength, Your grace, Your love, and Your goodness in every area, in Jesus Name.
