Exodus 14:14 NIV The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Now that we’ve talked about our spiritual armor, you might be thinking, “Okay, great. But I don’t want to fight battles anymore. I’m tired.” I get it. I’m right there with you. It’s been a heavy few months. Every time…

Ephesians 6:17a “Take the helmet of salvation….” In 1938, Chicago Bears NFL star, Dick Plasman, suffered a severe head injury when he crashed into Wrigley Field’s brick wall. In that era of football, helmets were leather and uncomfortable. Dick Plasman felt the helmets obscured his vision, so he refused to wear it and instead relied…

Ephesians 6:16 NIV “In addition to all this,take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Let me ask you a question. How do you know when you’re in the midst of a spiritual attack vs. normal, every day life? This has been a question…

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the Plans I have for you,” declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you, and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope, and a future.” Surprise. I’m still here. I’m still working on preparing Armor Of God devotions but the break has been a real curve ball. I realized…

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit.” In my prayer time this week, I found myself quoting this scripture back to God. My prayer time has included a lot of tears and honesty. I’ll be frank here; it’s a rough season. I am struggling with a lot…

Good morning! I apologize for not posting last week. Yesterday was Resurrection Day- or at least what some of us refer to as Easter Sunday. I have to say, this is probably my favorite holiday. Around this time, I always do a lot of reflecting. Perhaps it’s the Holy Spirit working through me. This year,…

Ephesians 6:14 NIV Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist… I don’t know why, but when I hear ‘belt of truth’, I automatically just see Wonder Woman with her lasso in hand. While I do have a fondness for the princess of the Amazons, the belt of truth goes much…
