Verifying that what they are saying is truth by studying Godâs word for myself. Seeking truth. Reading truth from the Bible and reading books from trusted Biblical scholars. Seeking truth. Friend, are you also seeking Godâs truth out for yourself and studying Godâs word on your own? Are you having truth-filled inputs throughout your day with songs based in…

Lord, let the words that I use to communicate today be pleasing to you Lord. Let the thoughts I have and the things I think a lot on and worry over, plan for, and potentially even ruminate about- Let it be honoring to you.

God- The One With Us In Every Battle & Storm We Face
The song âAnother in the Fireâ by Hillsong United is so powerful with the imagery of the story of the fiery furnace and the story of Moses and the parting the Red Sea- The imagery of God being present in those moments. The last part of the song says: âThereâll be another in the fire Standing next to me Thereâll be another in the waters Holding back the seas And should I ever need reminding How good Youâve been to me Iâll count the joy come every battle âCause I know thatâs where Youâll beâ Other words in the song that are so powerful to me are âEither way I…

In whatever life’s circumstances you are faced with today, know that God has the ability and power to bring joy and peace to your heart. He can bring joy and peace to my heart. All we have to choose to do is to trust Him. Trust. God. As I say those words (Trust. God.) I pause and reflect and consider myself and whether I am trusting God with the current circumstance before me. I can look back and see how God has been faithful before and made a way in so many instances prior. I can look back and remind myself of the miracles in my life and then come…
