Look Up and Give Praise to the Lord: Sunday Devotion

Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day, they pour forth speech; night after night, they reveal knowledge. They have no speech; they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens, God has pitched a tent for the sun.   We were in a rural…

Intimacy...

Rarely has anything to do with sex...

Yet often leads to deeper and more soulful connection.

Behold, the Lamb of God,

Who cleanses this world of sin.

He who chose to receive a crown of thorns,

So that we may be crowned with his love.

He is beaten, he is whipped, he is crucified;

He is risen.

I am of the opinion that all the gods and goddesses will sit and have a warm drink with you if you invite them. (I was going to say “have tea,” but I imagine coffee works just as well.)

Psalm 37 is a great chapter, it's all about patience and trust.

Being persecuted by some people who want to see you hurt? You look around and see all the 'evil' people "succeeding" and being rewarded with all the "nice" things life has to offer? Meanwhile, you're there and have practically "nothing"?

God says that's not your problem, you have your focus and it's as simple as being patient and trusting that in the end, somehow, it'll work out. That's why his yoke is easy (Matthew 11:28-30).

Psalms 37:13, 34-36 NLT

[13] But the Lord just laughs, for he sees their day of judgment coming.

[34] Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed. [35] I have seen wicked and ruthless people flourishing like a tree in its native soil. [36] But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

The word steadily really stood out to me here, it's definition is this:

in a regular and even manner, without change; continuously.

in a controlled or unwavering manner.

No matter what we're facing in this life, any trial or tribulation, any period of persecution, even if we're in a period of life where we're very much like Job who was stripped of everything, we are called to walk with him through it all steadily.

We are called to walk with him on a regular basis, continuously, without change in our faith based on our circumstances we are to walk with him in a controlled unwavering manner.

My dear brothers and sisters, no matter what we're facing in this life always remember to walk with him with a steadfast kind of love.

I love you my brothers and sisters, but always remember, there is no love like the love of Jesus Christ, Amen 🤍

I like to headcanon Shin as a hardcore atheist (complete opposite of Hiyori who's a very religious person). He can't see himself believing in a higher power, not when his plights and tragedies and suffering were always met with indifference by whatever higher power may exist. But not by Sou Hiyori-- his guardian angel all throughout high school. His protector and his tormentor. His saviour and his captor. Someone he devoutly followed for years after having found him. Someone he looks up to; someone superior (always "Hiyori" while he's still "Shin", never his equal). Someone whose teachings he takes to heart and lives by. Someone he seeks out instinctively in his hour of desperation and need. Someone whose hand-me-down he wears dutifully around his neck to keep him close at all times. Someone who will praise him for his obedience and dependency and punish him for his defiance and independence. Someone he loves and respects and fears all at once. The moon can't shine without the sun, and Hiyori all but shone upon him when he couldn't find the light within himself. Shin doesn't believe in God, but loving Hiyori is the closest he's ever gotten to religion. I think it's poetic, in a way.

Be Strong and Work for the Kingdom of God: Sunday Devotion

Haggai 2: 4-9 But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.  ‘This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you.

today i offer a heinrix x livea snippet of the spicy variety under the cut because i have literally felt like this about them all weekend

"Throne damn you, Heinrix." He breathed a laugh against her, delighting in her reaction. Livea looked down at him with a fondness that made his heart clench, a gaze so full of light and love that Heinrix found himself at once unworthy of such rapturous devotion and made divine in its glory, sanctified by the one who held his heart and his soul so delicately in her palm. Haloed by stars, cast in the iridescent glow of the Expanse, Heinrix understood then what the Ministorum priests had meant when they spoke of the beauty of worship, the sacred veneration of looking upon the divine and knowing that in your soul resided a devotion unshakable and pure. For as long as he drew breath, Heinrix vowed to worship at the alter laid before him; fervently, and thoroughly.

Snippet Sunday 12/01

Have an introduction to my four favourite lil' guys for a snippet today!

~*~

"I am Luus, and this is my brother Neer, and my cousin Nol." She began, before sweeping an arm out towards the stall behind them where a fourth Favalan was stood perusing some wares. Her ears twitched at Luus' voice. "And over there is the most beautiful creature ever to grace this good earth, and who I am unendingly fortunate enough to call my wife."

The Favalan turned around then and caught her wife's eye, raising a dark, bushy brow. "Luus, love, you had better not be waxing poetic to strangers again."

"But Til, your ears are so long and elegant, I have to let everyone know that you are not available, otherwise I shall have to fight them all off!"

Til flushed darkly at this and swatted her wife playfully. "No one here cares for the length of my ears, and you had better stop this before I combust!"

"Master Delfman, do you not agree that my wife has the broadest nose of any you have ever seen?" Luus said, turning to a slightly disgruntled and entirely baffled Aarna.

"Do you hold such things in high regard?" He replied.

Luus looked shocked, but her wife and brother shared looks of exasperated fondness. "Why sir, of course! A broad nose is a broad mind, good senses and a level head! To call anyone narrow nosed is an insult of the highest degree!"

Aarna's frown loosened and he made a small, polite bow. "Then I am certain all of your family, wife included, have broad noses indeed."

Luus' small face burst into a joyous smile. "There then! What did I say, Til!"

Sunday Tarot

So I usually do my devotion work/tarot readings on sundays. Given its Lord Apollo's Day it just makes sense. I always aks him for general message. I was pretty anxious, cus I didn't have anytime for him and my mental state was pretty fucked too. I was very worried he was mad at me for ignoring him this long, until the reversed Star showed up:

I couldn't be more grateful for him. He is so understanding and loving. Thank you, Apollo I only have a major arcana deck at home, so I can't wait for the new one
