The scripture tells us to let our gentleness be evident to all. Sometimes that is so hard but with the nearness of God we can do it. When we continue to lean in to the close presence of God and keep Him close, He gives us all we need and shows us how to be gentle with others and with ourselves.

The Lord watches over us and keeps us. No matter what we face, we are preserved from all evil now and forever. God is faithful.

The Lord determines where and how we are to reach the things that He has purposed for us. In Him we move quicker and higher and faster. God is our help and hope!

When we spend time in the presence of God we are safe in His shadow. He covers us and we have nothing to fear or worry about.

Seeking after and gaining everything outside of Jesus is death to us. When other things take the place of Jesus we lose ourselves and our souls. May there be no idol that keeps Jesus away from us and us from Him. May we desire and seek Him more than anything else.

There is nothing that we need to hide from God. He knows everything about us and loves us still. Confessing our sins opens the door to freedom. He wants us to walk in peace.

God has blessed us so that we can be a blessing. When we sow bountifully, we reap bountifully. May we start by sowing time with God so that we can reap the best of His presence and what He intends for us. Then with His presence filling our lives, we can go forth and live in purpose

No matter what we are doing, nothing is separate from God and his purposes. Every activity and opportunity we get to live out is an opportunity to live for God and glorify HIm. In everything may we choose to please God's heart.

A stronghold keeps you inside it's covering, behind strong walls-keeping the enemy out. That is who God is. He keeps the enemy away from us. He protects us and watches over us. In His presence and in His arms there will always be safety.

Waiting on God is never in vain. He is always worth the wait. We grow in courage and strength waiting on the Lord. He will always do what is best. He may not move on our time but He is always on time.
