Coming to nothing
1 Corinthians 2:6-8 NKJV However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. [7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, [8] which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. I say a hearty "hallelujah" to this promise that the puffed up rulers of this w

Shade
Shade Psalm 91:1 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. This long hot summer has found me constantly looking for shade. Anything that casts a shadow from the sun is so welcome. Trees are fantastic providers of shade, spreading out their branches casting a shady shadow in which to walk. There's a "tree" in the spiritual realm which brings blessed relief to our souls. The precious Cross of Jesus provides the ultimat

In Him we live
Acts 17:23-28 NKJV for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: [24] "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of Heaven and Earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. [25] Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and

Stand
Ephesians 6:13 AMPC Therefore put on God's complete armour, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. 1 Chronicles 11:13-14 AMPC He was with David at Pas-dammim [where David had long before slain Goliath], and there the Philistines were gathered for battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley or lentils; and the men [of Israel] fled before the Philis

Don't fall on your sword!
1 Chronicles 10:3-5,7 GNT The fighting was heavy around Saul, and he was hit by enemy arrows and badly wounded. [4] He said to the young man carrying his weapons, "Draw your sword and kill me, to keep these godless Philistines from gloating over me." But the young man was too terrified to do it. So Saul took his own sword and threw himself on it. [5] The young man saw that Saul was dead, so he too threw himself on his sword and died. [7] When the Israelites who lived in Jezre

Condensation over my spirit
1 Corinthians 13:12 GNT What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. What I know now is only partial; then it will be complete-as complete as God's knowledge of me. Today I can't see the garden very well because condensation has covered the glass impeding the view. Of course, I know it's there but the image is marred and blurred. Outside Condensation Good window insulation: Water on the outer pane means your double or triple-pane glass is d

Distress
Jeremiah 16:19 CSB LORD, my Strength and my Stronghold, my Refuge in a time of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, "Our ancestors inherited only lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all." We all face times of distress (great pain, anxiety, or suffering of the mind or body)! It can demonstrate like a spiritual straight jacket, paralizing prayer and positive activity. There is only one place to turn at these times - to the eve
