Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it upright between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, explaining, “The Lord has helped us to this point.” 1 Samuel 7:12 HCSB . My anxiety is due to the fall of man and is due to sin entering the world (Gen 3). But truly I just plain forget that God is my Helper (Psalm 54:4). Truly at times it seems as if everything is up to me and on me. And, yet the burden of sustaining and carrying us is solely the responsibility of our Creator. . Join me in intentionally meditating on God's condescension to be our Helper. Then when anxiety attempts to eclipse the goodness of the day.May we raise up our own Ebenezer. May we remember, "but God is my Helper." May we remember that God is near to us and willing to be given all of our burdens as they arise. Because He cares for us. . Glory be to our Helper who hasn't allowed our feet to slip.

ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕓𝕝𝕠𝕘 𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕥 I’m so excited to share this blog post with you all! I’ve never had a true passion in my life until I became a Christian. In other words God gave me this passion for the Bible. I want everyone to know about Him and to hear what He has to say about things. The link is in the bio!!

Will you join me? We live in a world where people are constantly anxious about what they could possibly be missing out on. It keeps some glued to their phones and some restlessly waiting to be included on whatever they feel they are lacking. • What we get shoved down our throats is that we need more, faster, better and even something different. That something more fulfilling is right around the corner. Most people believe that what they are missing is something they can buy, someone they can meet or perhaps a new environment will do the job. • But what people are truly missing out on is a relationship with the God of the universe. And that relationship can only come through Jesus Christ. • People believe that something created can actually fill the void in their lives. But only Christ can. He is a full God for empty sinners like us. And for those who know Him as their Lord and Savior there is nothing for them to miss out on. We have endless life and a far better county being prepared by our Father. • God is the only true treasure among all these cubic zirconias. Christians can’t stop talking about Him because of all He’s done for their souls (Psalm 66:16).

I found this quote in a precious little book by the name of The Valley of Vision. It’s a book of prayers that has been collected along a few centuries. • I’m usually not a fan of praying prayers that others have written. In fact at first I put this book down because of that same reason. But this book is more of a devotional than anything else. Every prayer I’ve prayed or simply read has increased my devotional life, and has stirred me up to pursue holiness. • I’ll be sure to share the full prayer in my IG story. Or you can look on the internet for this prayer, it’s called “Shortcomings”.

𝙽𝚎𝚠 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚐 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝 (Link in my bio) In this blog post I’m sharing “A Better Way To Be Encouraged”. Some look to new-age theories and self-love tips to give them courage. But I would argue all that we truly need to do in order to be encouraged is to behold God. • And there is no better way to behold this God than to read about Him in Scriptures. Fresh courage is put on not by looking to ourselves but by looking at God. • It is not when we love ourselves first that are lives are well ordered and truly blessed. But it’s when we love Him first that our lives’ and steps are well ordered and blessed. • When I look to myself I am bound to be faint, withering and despondent. But when I look to God then and only then is my face radiant(Psalm 34:5). When I turn to Him my sorrow is turned into joy(Psalm 30:11). When I behold Him then I feel His grace fueling my endurance. • “If you look at the world you’ll be DISTRESSED If you look within you’ll be DEPRESSED If you look at God you’ll be AT REST.” -Corrie Ten Boom

Discouragement is a tool of the Devil. If our Savior and the Author and Finisher of our faith tells us to take heart or to be of good cheer, why do we believe Satan’s lies that say there is no hope? Why is it that those who have been born to a living hope can be so easily convinced that there is no hope? No hope in their marriage. No hope in God continuing the good work that He begun (Phil. 1:6)? Why does quitting look like a viable option? Why does running from our amazing Benefactor make any sense at all? • Believe me, I am preaching to myself as well. Recently, the Adversary whispered in my hearing a few lies that I believed. I didn’t hold the lies up to God’s word. I didn’t wrestle to believe in God’s truth. I took Satan’s lies as the gospel and never doubted that they were not the truth. • None of us are walking through a flowery field we are in the battle for our lives. Not for our salvation, Christ has already finished His works’. But we are in the fight of our lives against sin and darkness. We are in the fight of our lives for our satisfaction in Christ. Not only on the outside is their warfare going on, but also on the inside. Our flesh opposes what the Spirit desires and the Spirit opposes the desires of the flesh (Gal. 5:17). • I know just how the idea of warfare can in itself seem discouraging. But Christ has won the victory. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under all of the saints’ feet (Rom. 16:20). • Don’t stop following Christ. Don’t give into those passions of the flesh which wage war against your soul (1 Peter 2:11). Don’t quit being faithful to whatever God has called you to. Don’t give up on your ministry. Don’t walk out on your marriage. • God is able to do far more abundantly. than all we think or ask (Eph. 3:20). Don’t forget about God’s great and precious promises (2 Pet 1:4). Don’t forget about the crown(s) while you bear the cross. Don’t miss out on what God purposes to do through and in your life. And, lastly don’t be too proud to ask God for help. Hasn’t He drawn you from every pit you have fallen into? • Be encouraged saints, Christ has won it all.
