You have taught children and infants to tell if your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. Psalm 8:2
Taking refuge in the mercy of God's omniscient way wraps one's mind in a warm blanket of heavenly peace, and rest fills the soul full.
Walking the halls of faith brings such a sweet peace of hope. Jesus longs for us to journey with Him, get to know Him, and live abandoned to His call. Oh that we could be counted friends of God.
The Lord allures us, He can often bring us to the wilderness moments in life to reveal His glory - and for our good. These hard times can hold unexpected moments of hope.
The power of God's Word changes us, and we can always depend on its truth to strengthen us.

Our enemy is a hunter chasing to kill our faith. He is a thief in pursuit of our peace. And, he is certainly a warrior seeking to destroy our walks with His. Yet, our Father's hedge of unbroken vigilance around us is stronger than our enemy's bark and bite!
When we choose to turn away from hurtful situations (and nabalish (my word) type of people,) we should pray to walk in a manner worthy and pleasing to the Lord. This speaks volumes to the world around us of the love of Christ which compels us to regard one another with a heart fixed on the One who gave His life for us all.

Something amazing happens when we are willing to see the real moments from an eternal perspective - we see just how good God is for making opposites work!
Through Jesus, we can destroy arguments and high opinions contrary to the knowledge of God.
"It would be a tragedy to believe our lives could never be a mix of good and bad, ugly and beautiful, confidence and uncertainty or sorrow and rejoicing - often in concert with each other."
Our Creator knows us – He knitted us in our Mother’s womb and called us to do anointed things for Him. He will use our uniqueness to design our faith. And, He most assuredly will use one woman’s faith in the most marvelous of ways! This episode is also available as a blog post: http://onewomansfaith.org/2020/07/09/companion-faith/
