In the 68th Psalm, David is praising God for His power and for David’s deliverance from His enemies. He recounts the various times God has saved the children of Israel. He writes and sings this beautiful song that encourages all the earth to bow down at the “one who rides in the highest heavens andContinue reading “The Mountain Where God Dwells”

Who May Approach His Mountain?
One of the repeated questions of David throughout the Psalms is seen in our verses from yesterday and today: Psalm 15: Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? Psalm 24: The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. For he laid theContinue reading “Who May Approach His Mountain?”
The Mountains Quake Before Him
If you’ve hiked up a mountain or climbed to the top, you know that mountains can sometimes be scary. You have to respect the mountain. The higher or deeper you go the more careful you should be. Mountains demand respect because they are greater than you. You cannot tame the mountain but the mountain canContinue reading “The Mountains Quake Before Him”
Formed By God’s Power
The mountains are breathtaking. They are ancient. As John Denver wrote, life is old there, older than the trees. It is no wonder ancient societies either worshipped or worshipped at the feet of mountains. They reach up to the skies and go deep into the earth. Mountains remind us that we are but mere smallContinue reading “Formed By God’s Power”
The Battle Belongs to the Lord
We’ve spent the last month examining what it truly means to be a soldier for Christ. We’ve examined: 🪖 The Battlefield. 🪖 The enemy. 🪖 Our Spiritual Armor. 🪖 Our Actions & Attitudes as Soldiers. 🪖 God as our General. 🪖 Our Guaranteed Victory. While we are soldiers for Christ, it is important to rememberContinue reading “The Battle Belongs to the Lord”
The Lord is My Banner
In war, banners/flags were often used to indicate the leader/country an approaching army represented. It was also generally multiple soldiers’ job to hold the banner – the banner must always be waving – as the banner went so did the army. If a soldier died holding the banner, another would pick it up and moveContinue reading “The Lord is My Banner”
Never Give Up
Ultimately, no matter the outcomes soldiers hope to fight well and win the war. Soldiers want to stay true to the cause, their fellow soldiers, and their leader. It is no different for soldiers of Christ. In 2 Timothy, in some of his final words, Paul wrote to Timothy his protege in the faith. PaulContinue reading “Never Give Up”
A Soldier’s Death
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. It is a day when we remember and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Soldiers for Christ have and will die. Some die very violently and suddenly (similar to those honored on our Memorial Day); some die after years of fighting for ChristContinue reading “A Soldier’s Death”
Become an Overcomer
Soldiers in Christ’s army are overcomers. Because of Christ and our faith in Him, we are guaranteed to overcome this world. Overcome means to get the better of – to surmount. This world is a hard place. It is full of violence, sadness, cruelty, disappointments, loneliness, evil, and sin. It can be overwhelming at times.Continue reading “Become an Overcomer”
More Than Conquerors
God not only guarantees us victory if we are part of His army – He declares that we are more than conquerors. And the verb here is important – we ARE more than conquerors not we WILL BE but WE ARE ALREADY. So many times we – soldiers of Christ – believe we are waitingContinue reading “More Than Conquerors”
