Lord

Write your word on my heart. Your promises are the only ones that never fail. The grass will wither and fade but every Word You speak is forever. Help me to trust You more than I trust earthly security. When you feel alone try to remember this. Above you are God’s overshadowing wings (Psalm 91:4). Beneath you are God’s everlasting arms (Deut 33: 27). All around you is the Angel of the Lord (Psalm 34:7). Inside you  is God’s peace (Philippians 4:7).

Holly Ridge Happenings

I was watching a video last night and a preacher held up a $100 bill.

He said when it was made it was a crisp bill with no wrinkles. That $100 bill was used in a drug deal. It was used on prostitution. It had been in the mud. It was worn. It had torn corners. 

How much is that $100 bill worth now? 

It is still worth the same as the day it was made. 

That’s how God see us. No matter our past, no matter what we’ve gone through and no matter how damaged we are now, we are worth just as much to Him today as we were the day He created us.

Simple truths to repeat when you’re in a spiritual battle:

God’s got this. The Lord fights for me. Jesus loves me. 

Not today, Satan, I am a child of God and He is able. 

It is finished. His  Grace is sufficient. Joy comes in the morning and I am not alone. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Fear has no grip on me. Christ is enough for me. He has overcome the world and I am a new creation in Christ. Jesus conquered the grave and Sin doesn’t define me. Christ does. Be still and know God is Good.
