How Do You Get Dressed?

So when I talk about getting dressed in the morning, you may be thinking Well, duh...I put on my underclothes; shirt and pants (or dress or skirt); maybe a jacket; nylons, leggings, tights, or socks; shoes, etc. In the book of Ephesians, however, we're told of some things we must not forget to put on before we start our day.  Here's how Ephesians 6:11 reads: "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." Paul's not making a suggestion.  And he doesn't ask us to put on half of the armor or just…

Scripture Sunday: 1 Peter 5:8

"Stay alert!  Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.  He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8 This verse has come across my path a lot lately--even moreso in the last week or so.  So I felt it appropriate to share with you this week as a reminder that we are constantly under attack from Satan.  He is always seeking ways in which he can bring us down. Last week I asked how God is changing your heart to do what's right, and I think this goes along with that.  My mother-in-law…

Scripture Sunday: Psalm 51:12

"Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you." -Psalm 51:12 I love this verse, not just because the first part is part of a song, but because of the second half of the verse, "Make me willing to obey you."  Some of you might think that this is just allowing God to control us, but it's not.  I can tell you that, in my life, I pray often for God to make me want to do what's right.  It's not easy to do what's right, because sometimes sin looks so much more appealing and we…

Scripture Sunday: Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28 This wasn't the original scripture I had chosen for today.  But after seeing it, and after the computer lost my original picture, I figured I was just supposed to post this one. I have trouble with this one.  I just like to go go go and never rest, because when I rest I have time to think and mull over things and then just get depressed.  Or anxious.  So I prefer to be busy.  But I think what God…

God, I Don’t Understand What You’re Doing: 3 Ways to Let God Be Your GPS

  "God, I don't understand what you're doing." In this year of faith, I find myself saying this a lot. It's hard to understand what He's doing when it's hard to hear Him speak.  Especially when He leads you in one direction and then decides to tell you to turn where you didn't expect.  Because sometimes, you know, God does that.  He starts by saying, "Go like you're going toward California."  Then, later on, he says, "Now I want you to turn left toward Texas."  Two different locations, but you have to go like you're going West first and then…
