“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” —1 John 1:9
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” —Psalm 20:7
“Trusting in the one who has never failed” by Jared Dyson (“Another Well Ministries”:
“There are a lot of people putting trust in a lot of places today. We know that in the current events of our world, many are trusting in their military might as is described here in Psalm 20. They are trusting that their military can accomplish all that they want it to accomplish, securing their safety and security.
You can have faith in the military might of the world, world leaders, or political systems all you want, but those things have failed. The Roman army was once the mightiest of the world, yet Rome fell. The political systems of England were once the most powerful and influential, and they lost their power and influence. Mighty leaders have lived in the past, yet they have all died and their influence diminished.
For the Christian, we should not place our faith and trust in these things of the world. As the psalmist says, we should remember the name of God! He is the one that we should be putting our trust in. His ways have never failed. His systems have never crumbled. His influence has never wavered. Through the resurrection, He conquered death and continues to live!
All of the greatness of this world will let you down. It will fail you and it will crumble in time. The greatness of God has never and will never fail. Rather than trusting in the things of the world, we should put our trust in the one who has never failed!”

Thanks for Christian Lutz you reminded me about this silent with peaceful so wonderful message through by guitar and her natural beauty vocal. Love it! 📿 🪷 🙏 然而在聖經中也曾記載所有有關上帝創造的"啟示",其實都是「與人發生關係的」,但由於人的接受程度不同,因而神的啟示亦有「逐漸揭開」的過程。and this's in my thought also. ℒan ~*
"Unto the end. A psalm for David.
May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

I really love the way the Christians in my church will look at me when I talk about things that interest me, like video games and anime and manga. They often look like they just want to tell me to grow tf up. They look like they never once considered the possibility that maybe God gave me these interests so that I can relate to certain other people in this world, people who have, themselves, been deemed as outcasts by the Christian community for their love of games and anime and manga.
God doesn't just sit in a church and preach. He can't only be found by volunteering for non-profit religious groups. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might" (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Do you know why this verse is in there? Okay, yeah, part of it is because people like to be lazy and they need to be reminded that God made us to work for Him. But I think it's partly also because God sometimes gives the "uncomely members" of the church (1 Corinthians 12:23) talents and/or interests that are niche or cringe. And He expects us to use those talents and interests, no matter how small and insignificant they might seem to be (Matthew 25:14-30).
Not everything that comes into our hearts and minds is from God (in fact, a good majority of it is NOT), but if you enjoy something that doesn't go against God's Word, then maybe, just maybe that thing IS from God, and maybe you should get to explore it and enjoy it and give God a chance to show you whether He wants you to use it or not.
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Psalm 37:4
The meaning of this verse is somewhat debated. No one can decide whether it means that God will give you the things that you desire, or whether He gives you the desires themselves. So I think it means both. He gives you the desire itself, and then He makes something out of it.
Some years ago I was walking around the reception tables after a wedding I had performed. An older woman approached me with a question. Almost everyone present at this particular wedding had come from a high church liturgical tradition. In their tradition, they had sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly recited either the Apostle’s Creed or the Athanasian Creed. But apparently, she hadn’t been…
The subject of mental illness is very controversial in Christian circles. Inside the extreme schools of thought we find balance and a scriptural viewpoint. First, let me say clearly, all mental illness is NOT the result of demonic attack. Further, good psychological care from Christian professionals is vital and in order when an individual is struggling. Also, professionally administered…
“I’m not good enough” is only one of the lies we tell ourselves. Moreover, this is what I told myself most of my life along with other lies like “You’re not good enough”, “You’ll never amount to anything”, “You’re too fat”, “You’re not pretty enough”, and the like.
What Lies Do You Tell Yourself?
I guess the point that I’m trying to make is that these are lies. So, why did I continue to believe…
