Trust in God under Adversity

1 The psalm of David, when he fled from the face of Absalom, his son. Lord, why be they multiplied that trouble me? many men rise against me. (The song of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. Lord, why be there so many who trouble me? why be there so many who rise up against me?)

2 Many men say of my soul, None health there is to him in his God. (Many say of me, There is no help for him from his God.)

3 But thou, Lord, art mine up-taker; my glory, and enhancing mine head. (But thou, Lord, art my defender; my glory, and the one who lifteth up my head.)

4 With my voice I cried to the Lord; and he heard me from his holy hill. (I cried to the Lord with my voice; and he answered me from his holy hill.)

5 I slept, and rested, and I rose up; for the Lord received me (for the Lord had protected me).

6 I shall not dread thousands of people (en)compassing me; (I shall not fear even thousands of people surrounding me;)

7 Lord, arise thou; my God, make me safe. For thou hast smitten all men being adversaries to me without cause; thou hast all-broken the teeth of sinners. (Lord, rise thou up; my God, save me. Thou hast struck down all who be my adversaries; thou hast broken all the teeth of the sinners.)

8 Health is of the Lord; and thy blessing is on thy people. (Victory is from the Lord/Salvation, or deliverance, is from the Lord; and thy blessing is upon thy people.) — Psalm 3 | Wycliffe Bible (WYC) The Wycliffe Bible is in the public domain.

Why not just become a faith healer if that's what she believes? Is she just scared of snakes since that's apparently a major feature of a lot of faith healing acts

Well, obviously, she still needs to bring in legitimate money while peddling 'alternative health advice' on the side.

October 23, 2024 Verse Of The Day

[the-big-picture-bible-blog]

What is the 'ALL THINGS' work together of our good in Rom.8:28?

Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. This verse has been abused by prosperity teachers who pull this verse out of its true context and use it falsely and according to their own vain imaginations. There is so much more to this verse than putting people under the hope that the “all…

True Worship and Righteous Living: Insights from Alma 31

Alma 31 highlights the undeniable power of God's word to lead us to righteousness. Despite the Zoramites' severe separation from the Nephites, Alma trusted in the virtue of the word of God to bring them back.

God’s Word Leads Us to Righteousness: Insights from Alma 31 Righteousness is more than a mere term—it’s a way of life that aligns us with divine principles. Alma 31 addresses the complex issue the Nephites faced with the Zoramites, who had separated and adopted false beliefs. The solution might have initially seemed to lie in politics or force, but Alma knew better. He trusted the “virtue of the…

"Support Mohammed's Family: A Beacon of Hope Amidst Hardship"

In one of the afflicted corners of Gaza, Mohamed Al-Khaldi, a man in his twenties, took his heavy steps amidst the chaos of life. Mohamed, known for his resilience and patience, worked as a freelancer, spending long nights behind his computer screen, striving to ensure a decent life for himself and his small family.

Before the war, his life was filled with challenges, but he never knew despair. He began saving to cover the costs of his apartment with great difficulty, and his joy was indescribable when he finally got married after a bitter struggle. His wife, whom he loved deeply, was always his support, encouraging him every time he felt the burden was heavier than he could bear.

But the war... that merciless war turned everything upside down. The early days were filled with fear and anxiety, and Mohamed struggled to provide for his simple household amidst the shelling and explosions. One day, while he was trying to bring some basic necessities for his family, a missile fell nearby, and he was hit by shrapnel in his head.

Mohamed was transported to the hospital amidst sounds of crying and prayers. In those tense moments, he thought only of his wife, who was expecting their first child, and the home he had built with his patience and struggle. The pain was intense, but the fear for his loved ones was even greater.

Despite everything, Mohamed slowly recovered. A scar remained on his head, a witness to those difficult moments, but it was also a testament to his resilience. After returning home, he saw his wife with a smile that wiped away all her sorrows. She held a picture of the ultrasound showing their upcoming child and said to him:

"Mohamed, we are stronger than anything, and this child will be a symbol of the life they couldn’t destroy."

On that day, Mohamed realized that despite all the hardships he had gone through, life is worth living, and no matter how harsh the war is, love and hope are stronger.

YIELD UNDER GREAT PERSUASION comes out on September 17th! (Edit: It's out now!!!!) It's a cozy M/M romantasy about second chances, the difficult journey to self-forgiveness, and a one-sided enemies-to-lovers situationship 👀 It's available from most book retailers in hardback, paperback, and ebook (with more retailers coming soon) -- links to most of the common ones right here. The cover art is by the amazing @holographings, check out more of his work!

SUMMARY: Tam Becket has hated Lord Lyford since they were boys. The fact that he’s also been sleeping with the man for the last ten years is irrelevant. When they were both nine years old, Lyford smashed Tam’s entry into the village’s vegetable competition. Nearly twenty years later, Tam hasn’t forgiven him. No one understands how deeply he was hurt that day, how it set a pattern of disappointments and small misfortunes that would run through the rest of his life. Now Tam has reconciled himself to the fact that love and affection are for other people, that the gods don’t care and won’t answer any of his prayers (not even the one about afflicting Lyford with a case of flesh-eating spiders to chew off his privates), and that life is inherently mundane, joyless, and drab. And then, the very last straw: Tam discovers that Lyford (of all people!) bears the divine favor of Angarat, the goddess Tam feels most betrayed and abandoned by. In his hurt and anger, Tam packs up and prepares to leave the village for good. But the journey doesn’t take him far, and Tam soon finds himself set on a quest for the most difficult of all possible prizes: Self care, forgiveness, a second chance... and somehow the unbelievably precious knowledge that there is at least one person who loves Tam for exactly who he is—and always has.

This book might be for you if:

You like enemies-to-lovers but you think it would be improved by being one-sided and meanwhile the other person is living through a “hopelessly yearning for childhood crush” trope

you like it when two people are so, so, so stupid that they’ve been fucking for 10 years and Person A hasn’t figured out that Person B is in love with him, and Person B hasn’t realized that Person A doesn’t even know about his feelings

You know how fucking hard it is to Do The Work In Therapy and you want some catharsis about it

you want to read about an imperfect, truly difficult person who still gets loved, because being perfect is not a requirement to deserve affection and care

you know that apologizing for wronging someone doesn’t just magically take away the bad feelings and automatically repair the relationship, and you want to read about someone having to do the extra steps that come after the apology

this one’s for the wlw: fat harvest goddess milf. my gift to u

you like gods who don’t have anything better to do than stick their noses into human business

when you see a gorgeous man holding an infant, it takes you out at the knees

you like queernorm fantasy AND small-town gossip, and you find the intersection of the two delicious and intriguing

a religion based on pre-Christian Brythonic England. That is, they’ve got henges and standing stones instead of churches and altars. it’s cool

plant magic!!!!!

“god of temptation and evil” actually “god of self-care and personal boundaries and taking responsibility for the consequences you consented to”.

"Alongside the sexiness and absurdity (and the sexy absurdity) in Yield Under Great Persuasion is a tender, resonant story of second and third chances and being loved when we need it most and feel we deserve it least. Evocative, emotional, and endlessly entertaining." —Jules Arbeaux, author of Lord of the Empty Isles Preorder links for most retailers are here! If you live in the US and you'd like to order a paper copy from the retailer that benefits me most (thank you!), that retailer is Allstora.

Seven Ways To Pursue Joy

Dale Pollard We’ll keep this really simple. Let’s start with a few facts about joy and then dive into seven ways to find joy when we lack it.  1. Joy is not a feeling, it’s a godly perspective.  2. A Christian’s hardships aren’t pointless, they’re productive.  “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your…

[beloved-31-proverbs-women]

My spirit is grieved and if mine is grieved, I can't even imagine how grieved the Lord Spirit is. I speak truth and will continue to speak it regardless to who like it or don't like it.

God never once told us in His word that life would be easy. He let us know off the bat we are going to go through sufferings, affliction, persecution, be lied on, talked about, betrayed, deceived, rejected, backstabbing, and so on and so forth. So why do people get so mad and upset when things happen to them, and then take it out on everybody else who had nothing to do with it? And some even get mad with God. I am not talking about those that are babies in Christ. I am referring to those that are suppose to be eating meat.. I am referring to those who have been saved for years. It's time to grow up!

The word tells us, Therefore we must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus-(2Timothy 2:3). Beloved, think it not strange-(be not surprised) concerning the fiery trial which is to try-(test) you, as though some strange thing happened unto you-(1Peter 4:12). Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but I will deliver them out of them all-(Psalm 34:19). As long as we are in this world we are going to go through things there is no way around. As A Believer we suppose to know how to handle whatever we go through . We are not to act like the world, and handle things the way the world handle it.. How is that Christlike? Where is the godly Characteristics, morals & integrity? Where is it? How is that drawing anyone to Christ?

We should never allow what we go through in life to make us angry, hateful, unforgiving, nasty or bitter. Where is the fruit of the spirit? The main fruit is love, if a person don't have love/exhibit love they don't have the rest of the fruit. Many are being tested and many have failed the test because of their ungodly character. God is not pleased. Period!!
