The Lord is My Light and My Salvation

I'm a gal who loves Jesus and loves you! (I also love a lot of other stuff.) If you need a pick-me-up, go to #for-a-bad-day

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

[supapoopa]

What a time to be alive.

[tenthcorner]

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

[brunhiddensmusings]

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

[stephendann]

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

[unclebeanbag]

I crack up every time at seeing that runestone.

don’t forget: God has a unique calling and purpose for your life. You will face opposition and trials. You will have days when you want to walk away from your faith, but trust me, God knows what He is doing. He has been faithful all this time, so what makes you think He will leave you stranded? Even when the enemy tries to bring you down, God is bigger and stronger than any giant you will face. Trust me, living out your calling is worth it. It isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.

The biggest hurdle for Christians is that people don’t think they need someone to save them. They don’t see the reality of their sin, and they reject the idea that God would condemn them because of it. They say “God is not a loving god if he doesn’t accept me as is.” instead of seeing how far they are from the biblical command for holiness. They accept their blindness and claim they can see just fine.

“He will bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” - Isaiah 61:3

Taught my brother today that we ought to treat every person with respect.

Regardless of their skin color, regardless of their religion, regardless of their beliefs, regardless of their politics,

Every person.

Why?

Because everyone is made in the image of God and deserve respect as such.

i’d rather be a “jesus freak” to people on earth who don’t really know me instead of meeting jesus at the end of my life and hearing “depart from me, i don’t know you” 

[studyandrunforyourdreams-blog]

Woah that just hit me hard…

[meetingthestoryteller]

This should be on our minds every minute

[msburgundy-but-worser-deactivat]

it's sad to see people who clearly crave religion so badly but look for spiritual fulfillment in literally anything else. that hole you keep trying to fill with self affirmations and good vibes is going to sit like an open wound until you actually let God into it

[melladh]

so religion seems as gorey as I remember it

[msburgundy-but-worser-deactivat]

it's gory because humanity needs divine healing

[seekhim]

Great is Your faithfulness Lord, even if others abandon me…

Living under God’s wings is a choice. The Bible is clear regarding the benefits that come from living under God’s wings. Psalm 61:4-5 says: “I long to dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.Psalm 36:7-8: "How priceless is Your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Psalm 91:4-6 proclaims: "He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day; or for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday."What wonderful benefits: we find abundant sustenance, we have support, and we have confidence to help us overcome fear.

God of all Creation

[thewordfortheday]

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.-1 Corinthians 15:57 What victory is that? Simply put, when Jesus went to the cross for our sins and rose again from the dead, He finally defeated the very things that keep us enslaved – sin and death. Every temptation, anxiety, fear, and doubt that plagues our lives each day can be traced back to one thing – our fallen nature and sin. Yet in Christ Jesus, we are released from that sin and death forever, and we are free to live the lives that God created us to live! When we see that every battle has been won by the blood of Jesus, we truly have something to be thankful for. How will you show that thankfulness and gratitude to God today? How will you live your life knowing that truth today?

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
