I Trust in God

" You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows," (Ps 23:5, ESV). ~ As we head into the Easter season and during this time of Lent, I find myself meditating on the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace...and the list goes on. Throughout the Bible, we can find verses referencing these Christlike attributes. There is even a reference to "the shoes of peace" in the armor of God. The Bible reminds us that when we arm our self - our mind, will, emotions, the flesh - we can withstand the wiles of the devil. We are also empowering the Holy Spirit to rise up within us and guide us as we fight the good fight of faith. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that if we place our hope in God, He will renew our strength! God made sure His kids have the heavy equipment we'll need for ministry and Kingdom service. So, let us put on the whole armor of God, develop mature fruits of the Spirt, and watch the Word come alive in us...
