God and Insecurities
God placed this on my heart to talk about so I'm going to share.
I know sometimes it often feels hard to feel beautiful. Throughout middle school and parts of high school, I felt ugly and unwanted. I watched many boys and girls have crushes on my friends, and I watched my friends go through relationships. I saw them being complimented and desired. When I would hang out with my friends people would come up to them and compliment them saying, oh you're very pretty/beautiful while I was happy for my friend I was also envious and a little disheartened that no one came up and said that to me. It can be easy to pick apart your looks and wonder why no one likes you. It can be easy to zone in on your nose, weight, eyes, hair, etc. and feel ugly. As a black girl in predominantly white spaces, I began to feel insecure about my hair and other Afrocentric features. But our worth and beauty are not determined by the attention of others. Psalm 139 is a beautiful passage, outlining how well God knows you in the present, future, and before you were even born. God created you in His image. The creator who made the most beautiful animals, flowers, mountains, oceans, stars, planets, etc. made you not those in His image.
When you feel ugly or even just mediocre, remember who made you.
Psalms 139: 13-14 "For it was you who created me in my most inward parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I will praise you because I know I have been beautifully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderous I know this well."
Christian boy or girl, man or woman, know this God loves you, whenever He looks at you He thinks that you are very good. A masterpiece, His wonderful creation.
The world's beauty standards are constantly changing. In the 90s it was in to be super skinny and now it's in to be super curvy and even get BBLs. Do not feel you need to keep up with the world's standards when just by existing in your own body you are keeping up with the Lord's.
(Proverbs 3:15-17 "She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.")

âYou will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.â â2 Chronicles 20:17 (NIV)
âItâs discouraging to feel depleted and think, This was not supposed to be my story. Whether itâs the doctorâs report we never thought we would receive, the ending of a relationship we thought would last forever, or maybe the job we worked so hard for that is not turning out the way we expected, we often cannot escape the wars we feel raging in and around us. Yet we wish we could hide rather than face them.
Thankfully, God gave us the beautiful story of King Jehoshaphat that can help teach us how to deal with our problems His way.
In 2 Chronicles 20, we meet Jehoshaphat, king of Judah. He had just received word that a vast army was coming to destroy him and his people.
Jehoshaphat pleaded to the Lord: âFor we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on youâ (2 Chronicles 20:12b, NIV).
Godâs gentle response settled the kingâs anxious heart: âYou will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with youâ (2 Chronicles 20:17).
God cares about our safety and well-being, and often He does provide a way of escape from danger; in this story, though, God called the king to face his problem with praise. And as he began to sing of God's glory, the enemy began to fall (2 Chronicles 20:21-22).
God didnât tell Jehoshaphat to fight his problem, and He didnât tell him to flee; He told him to face it with God by his side. The king faced his impossible situation and responded with praise before he even knew the outcome.Â
In moments where you find yourself in a seemingly impossible situation and youâre not sure whether to fight, flee or face it, you can invite God into that space too. Even if all you have left is a whisper, whisper His name.
One simple decision helped me face the battle with my job: I decided to start listening to worship music on my way to work in the morning. Not just as background music â I would sing out loud with the words. You donât have to have a perfect voice to praise. Praise is a posture, not a performance. The choice to face each day with praise gave me the reminder that God was in the car with me and would walk into work with me every single day. This sounds easier said than done, but as we acknowledge His presence, we then notice His power. Our battle cry is the name of Jesus.
As we begin to sing, we can trust that God has already begun His work. By the time we get to the edge of our battlefield, we will see the Lord has already won.
Father, give me the strength to face this day with praise. Help me to remember this battle is not mine but Yours. Help me to keep my eyes on You through every situation I face. I praise You, Father, for Your goodness. Thank You for defeating all my enemies. Thank You for keeping me safe. Thank You for loving me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.â
âTaylor Stuart

God is testing our hypocrisy, revealing the truth behind what we say and how we live. As it says in Matthew 15:8, 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.' We may hide from others, but not from God. He sees our hearts, like it says in 1 Samuel 16:7, 'People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.' We are called to live out our faith, not just speak it. James 1:22 reminds us to be 'doers of the word, not hearers only.' Through these trials, God refines us, testing our hearts like silver in the furnace (Proverbs 17:3).

âRejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.â â1 Thessalonians 5:16
âIn all circumstances part 1: trust in God's characterâ By Antique Candle Co.:
âWhy is it that we most often seek the Lord during the valleys of life? We know from His Word that He wants us to seek Him in every season. During the peaks, with moments of great joy and celebration; during the valleys, in times of worry and uncertainty. Not only does He desire His children to seek Him out, but He calls us to be faithful in all circumstances.
âTrust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...â âProverbs 3:5
Trusting in the Lord's character allows us to find hope in every situation. It's not just about trusting God to get us through the difficult moments, but fully trusting in who He is, which extends to every moment of life.
So what is God's character? Many things. God cannot be compared to anything else in all creation. He created all things. Therefore, there are some attributes of Christ we can and cannot understand. We can't understand being 'unchanging' or 'all-knowing' ourselves because, as we are finite beings, we are neither. However, His Word tells us these truths about Him so that we may trust the characteristics that are unique to God alone. We can see and acknowledge the truth of His character in the Word and in our own lives.
GOD IS UNCHANGING:
âJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.â âHebrews 13:8
âEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.â âJames 1:17
GOD IS FAITHFUL:
â...if we are faithless, he remains faithfulâfor he cannot deny himself.â â2 Timothy 2:13
âThe Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.â âPsalm 100:5
GOD IS ALL-KNOWING:
âHe who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledgeâthe Lordâknows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.â âPsalm 94:9
GOD IS SOVEREIGN:
âFor from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.â âRomans 11:36
âIn him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.â âEphesians 1:7-8
âAnd we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.â âRomans 8:28
âAnd this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.â âMatthew 24:14
Place your trust in a God who is unchanging, faithful, all-knowing, sovereign, and so much more. In all circumstances, His character is something that will never fail.â

The Sweet Payoff of Love
Wednesday night, at our churchâs family dinner (a weekly blessing), we sat across from the cutest couple who married in December. He is 90 years old; she is 86. They are just recently out and about because three days before they married, she fell, broke her nose and required stitches from her nose to her lip. He fell a couple of days later. They are both going regularly for physicalâŠ
