Psalm 103 is a timeless piece of poetry that resonates deeply with themes of forgiveness, gratitude, and divine mercy. As we explore its context, we'll dive into the historical background of the era in which it was crafted and uncover the life experiences

Forgiveness Explored: Psalm 103’s Profound Distance Imagery In Psalm 103:12, forgiveness is portrayed with a beautiful metaphor that stretches as far as the east is to the west. This passage highlights a profound promise of divine forgiveness that offers not just pardon but a complete removal of our sins. Imagine a horizon so vast, it signifies an infinite distance—this is the assurance we find…

2 Timothy 2:22-26

"Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will."

Matthew 10:7

As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.

Note the time the Devil showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world (Luke 4:5) "in an instant of time" saying that the world has been given over to him and he could give it to whomever he chose, and the Devil chose Christ. The Devil said to Christ, "I will give you all this authority and their glory" (Luke 4:5-8).

Who is the ruler of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), is it not the Devil (Revelation 12:9)? And what are the inhabitants of the earth saying? Are they not saying that Jesus is God, giving Jesus all his authority and their glory? The Devil wanted Jesus to do an act of worship before him by means of the Devil's image of the heavens (Isaiah 14: 12-14) and earth by giving breath of life to it by means of the fruit of his lips (Hebrews 13:15). But note how Jesus replied when being tempted by the Tempter (Matthew 4:1), "Then Jesus said to him: 'Go away, Satan! For it is written: 'It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service' (Matthew 4:10)." Because it was God at the beginning who created the heavens and earth and said let there be light through His Spirit (Genesis 1: 1-3).

Read one Bible verse or read them all! 📖📚

1 John 2:16

because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world

Isaiah 29:13

Jehovah says: “This people approach me with their mouth And they honor me with their lips, But their heart is far removed from me; And their fear of me is based on commands of men that they have been taught.

1 Thessalonians 3:5

is why, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn of your faithfulness, in case somehow the Tempter might have tempted you, and our labor might have turned out to be in vain.

2 Corinthians 11:14

And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light.

Revelation 12:12

On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”

2 Corinthians 11:3

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent seduced Eve by its cunning, your minds might be corrupted away from the sincerity and the chastity that are due the Christ.

Revelation 13:13

And it performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind.

Luke 10:18

At that he said to them: “I see Satan already fallen like lightning from heaven.

[aniah-who]

The devil only has as much power over you that you allow him to have. You can overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of your testimony. Jesus Christ is the victory, and in Him, you have the authority to tread on the devil and over all of his power. Because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You don’t have to be afraid anymore, friend; be glad and rejoice in the Lord.

Revelations 12:11 / 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Luke 10:19 / 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

1 John 4:4 / Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

[bernievm]

If you are still heart broken about the destruction of the Alexandria library, you will be happy to hear in a far away world, there’s a vast library hidden from the world for centuries, contains 84,000 books, which are planned to be digitised, translated and share with the world.

The Sakya Monastery in Tibet, founded in 1073 by Khon Konchog Gyalpo, is renowned for its vast library of ancient manuscripts, many of which remain untouched for centuries.

Most of these texts are Buddhist scriptures, meticulously handwritten in various languages like Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian, and Sanskrit. But the depth of this collection is vast. It isn’t limited to religious teachings; it expands into the realms of literature, history, philosophy, the stars above with astronomy, the logic of mathematics, the beauty of art, and even the practical wisdom of agriculture.

The scale of this library is staggering. Picture traditional bookshelves stretching 200 feet and soaring to 33 feet, all packed with a whopping 84,000 books! Among these, there’s a standout: a single scripture that tips the scales at a massive 1,100 pounds, claiming the title of the heaviest in the world. Thanks to the region’s dry climate, the library also boasts a collection of delicate palm-leaf manuscripts, preserved in near-perfect condition.

The library is not open to the general public but is accessible to members and visiting scholars with permission. Efforts are underway to digitize these manuscripts, making them more widely available for research and study. This initiative highlights the library's role as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern scholarship, offering invaluable insights into Tibetan culture and knowledge.

Now, these precious papers give us a peek into Tibet’s history. They show us how people lived, what they believed, and how they dreamed. Thanks to the Sakya Monastery, a whole world has been brought back to life from long ago. Everyone can learn and be amazed by the wonders of the past.

+ John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

=======================

VERSE OF THE DAY 

======================

+ Philippians 3:13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,  but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,

=======================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM NEW IN CHRIST 

I AM FREE IN JESUS 

I AM HEALED 

I AM COMPASSIONATE 

======================

READ TIME: 8 Minutes & 17 Seconds

======================

THOUGHTS:

======================

    It's hard to forget our past; it's hard to say I forget who I used to be. Some things are hard to forget, but God wants us to move forward and forget our past. Sometimes, people around me mention who I was, and they find it hard to move past it that was who I use to be , but that’s not who I am anymore; we must remember we are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, the person we once were is now dead, and we have risen with Jesus Christ no longer bond but free in his name! 

     God wants us to realize that who we are isn’t who we are now, and we don’t have to remember it; yes, we need to learn things from our past, but we must forget and move forward in the person we are now, and what lies ahead, we don’t know but God does we have to allow what he's doing in our lives right now to be what we are focused on. 

  In this chapter, Paul had a moment, and he told us everything he found valuable about himself at one time. 

    Verse 5-6. I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin—a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demanded the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. 6 I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.

     He tells us why he could have all this confidence because of his identity. He was a pureblood Citizen of Israel, a member of the tribe of Benjamin, and a member of the Pharisees; he was everything. At least, he thought so, but after he met Christ on Damascus Road, he realized all those things are meaningless and what is important is his identity in Christ NOW.

    Verse 7: I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of Christ's actions. 

  So, you see, he forgot about his past because he realized it was nothing compared to the love of Jesus. He realized that Jesus was the only person that means anything, and that’s what we must think about our past that it is nothing and that it is forgettable because who we used to be isn’t who we are now; we are people of God, and that is the only thing we should be concern over not who we use to be ,not what we use to do, and of course share your testimony share who use to be to others so they may see the glory of God but don’t take pride in who you use to be because it’s nothing there but darkness, and darkness is of the enemy.

 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

     Here's another verse that tells us we are a new creation, and the old has passed away. We are no longer these people who wander in the dark and are blinded by our actions. We are now in him; don’t allow your past to disrupt your future, and don’t allow your old life to stop you from achieving a new life. Jesus paid the price for us to be new in him; every day, we must thank the lord for making us new.

   Our past is what we used to be; we no longer have any ties to it; we are free in Jesus; when someone mentions your past, tell them Jesus has cleansed me and changed me and forgotten about my past; why can’t you ,don’t get mad stand proud of who you are now and know that you’re walking in the light ,no longer full of darkness. Tell them, yes, I used to do these things, but these things aren’t me anymore. I have a new identity in Jesus' name. Don’t let people define who you are because you’re no longer that; you are a new creation in Jesus.

   Philippians 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do is forget what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead

   We are told that we didn’t do this on our own; he said to forget what lies behind us and go to what is ahead, which is the future. People will mention your past to tear you down; people will mention the past to kill your joy, but don’t let them do it; rebuke them and walk forth in your new calling in Jesus. Jesus didn’t fill you with all this joy and peace just so people can disrupt it, and he gave you peace to walk in his name; he gave you joy to replace the hurt that you endured; you don’t have to endure alone anymore you have the lord of Jesus helping you through your new walk in him. 

   Isaiah 43:18- 19: Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of the old. Behold, I am doing something new; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

   It tells us here don’t remember the former things but consider them old; our past is our past; a lot of people like to hide who they once were, but the lord is saying don’t hide who you are; just forget who you are it is old now it’s no longer tied to you let it go. What happens is we get so lost in trying to prove ourselves to family and friends that we are DIFFERENT now, but let your walk speak for you, let your words speak for you, let your life speak for you, and most of all, let GOD SPEAK FOR YOU. 

   ***Today, we discussed letting our past go and not allowing what others think to destroy our future. Some of us allow people to destroy our destiny because we allow their words to attach to us and bother us; people are always going to have something to say because they are allowing the enemy to use them; don’t allow what they say to affect you allow what God is speaking to you to resonate in you.

  Isaiah 43:25: “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins

   The Holy Spirit is speaking to us this day; he’s saying don’t allow your past to hurt your future; remember I have blotted out all your sins, and I don’t remember what you did, how you used to act, what you used to do, I know you now and who you are now is my child. Many of us have been abandoned and left isolated, but God is saying you’re not alone anymore. I am walking with you; you're not alone. I am here for you. The Holy Spirit is saying whatever you go through, I’m walking with you; even though you walk through the valley of shadows of death, fear no evil because my rod and my staff will comfort you; you are not alone; YOU have a comforter now in me, if you feel you are alone and that everything is stacking against remember you have Jesus. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

PRAYER

=====================

Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. I ask you to be with us as we walk through our day and help us not to lose sight of the plan, which is our new life with you. Lord, we ask you to help control our emotions so when someone says something about our past that we don’t come out of character; help us to remain walking in you. Lord, continue to help us through our walk, lord we love you, and we thank you for everything, in Jesus Name, Amen

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

[feedingtheflockministry]

FOR GOD alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. [2] He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be greatly moved.

Psalm 62:1-2 ampc

When I think of soul care I immediately think of alone time with God.

In my personal experience I always found soul care from my sought out time alone with God. In college, for me that meant sometimes leaving my home, or simply going into a room alone and getting in the Word of God and prayer. In this time I soaked up wisdom from the Lord, and was able reflect on so many situations in my life.

This soul care is important for all Christians and we need it every day. True growth comes from it when we continue to seek this time out. People say this all of the time, but it is crucial in order to fill our souls with the love and wisdom of God.

I love Psalm 62 because David, in words, explains all of our need for the love and protection of God over our soul.

We all have a hunger and a need for God, and we need to continue to be filled by Him. When we do this, our souls are filled.

What can you do to better take care of your soul?

Train Up a Child: The Divine Calling of Teaching

I am incredibly blessed that every day, I get to work in a career that the Lord called me to follow. I teach, which is one of the most rewarding careers you can have.

A verse has been stuck in my head for the last 24 hours:

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”

- ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This timeless wisdom speaks volumes about the profound impact of early guidance and the enduring value of a good education.

While this verse often emphasizes parental responsibility, it also casts a powerful light on the noble calling of teaching. Educators, in many ways, step into the role of surrogate parents, nurturing young minds and shaping future generations.

How Teaching Aligns with Godly Principles:

Nurturing Potential: Just as a gardener cultivates a seedling, teachers cultivate the potential within each child. They provide the intellectual and emotional nourishment necessary for growth and development.

(Isaiah 54:13 - “All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.”)

Imparting Knowledge: Education is a sacred trust. Teachers are entrusted with the responsibility of imparting knowledge, fostering critical thinking skills, and igniting a lifelong love of learning.

(Deuteronomy 6:7 - “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.”)

Building Character: Beyond academics, effective teachers strive to instill moral values, cultivate empathy, and encourage ethical behavior. They play a crucial role in shaping well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society.

(Proverbs 22:1 - "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver and gold.")

Guiding Future Leaders: Teachers prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the future. They equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to become responsible citizens, innovative thinkers, and compassionate leaders.

(Proverbs 29:17: "Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your soul.")

If you feel drawn to a career in education, I encourage you to seriously consider it. Embrace the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people and become a part of something truly meaningful 🩷

The Full Armor of God

A Guide to Spiritual Resilience & Divine Alignment

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against (overcome/neutralize) the devil’s schemes.” — Ephesians 6:11

To “put on the full armor of God” comes from Ephesians 6:10-18, where Paul describes spiritual protection that believers need to stand against negative forces, deception, and challenges in life. It symbolizes embodying divine strength, wisdom, and virtues to navigate trials with faith and resilience.

The armor of God is not about engaging in physical battles but cultivating an inner state that protects against deception, fear, and ego-driven influences. It is about standing in divine truth, unwavering faith, and spiritual discernment. Below is a deep exploration of each piece, its scriptural foundation, insights from master teachers, self-reflection questions, and practical applications.

This passage is about SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT—it reminds you to stay centered in divine truth, reject fear-based conditioning, and navigate life with clarity, resilience, and love. It’s not about external battles but an internal alignment with your highest self, embodying divine presence in all areas of life.

"I've been to dark places. I've lost my foundation. Scrapped my knees, begging for something new. Just hold on tight so I can make it through. There's nothing else I can do. I guess I'm gonna have to trust you." -Stephen Stanley "Your Way, Not Mine Your Timing, Not Mine Your Will, Not Mine Your Path. Your Plan. My Life in Your Hands. I Surrender ALL to YOU!" -Jon Reddick

The Belt of Truth 

Grounding in Divine Reality

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” — Ephesians 6:14

The belt holds everything together, just as truth secures our spiritual foundation. This is about discerning divine truth from illusion—whether external deception or internal self-delusion. Truth aligns us with higher wisdom and prevents us from being swayed by fear, manipulation, or false narratives.

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32) — Jesus “Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.” — Lao Tzu “Don’t get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure.” — Rumi

SELF-REFLECTION

What internal or external illusions am I clinging to?

Where am I afraid of truth, and why?

How can I cultivate a deeper relationship with divine wisdom rather than seeking validation from human narratives?

FIND YOUR TRUTH

Engage in honest self-inquiry—journal truths you’ve resisted.

Practice discernment—notice where fear clouds your ability to see truth.

Meditate on scriptural wisdom to distinguish divine truth from societal conditioning.

The Breastplate of Righteousness 

Guarding the Heart with Integrity

“With the breastplate of righteousness in place.”  — Ephesians 6:14

The breastplate protects the heart, symbolizing the need to guard our inner world against resentment, judgment, and misaligned desires. Righteousness is not about moral superiority but about alignment with divine love, acting from integrity rather than ego-driven impulses.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8) — Jesus “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” — Buddha “Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.” — Dalai Lama

SELF-REFLECTION

Do my actions align with divine love, or are they driven by pride, fear, or validation?

How do I protect my heart from resentment without closing it off to love?

Where am I called to act with greater integrity in my relationships and work?

FIND YOUR INTEGRITY

Engage in heart-centered meditation to release anger or judgment.

Choose conscious kindness—act from love, even when ego wants to react.

Cultivate moral courage—stand for righteousness, even when inconvenient.

The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace 

Walking with Inner and Outer Harmony

“And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” — Ephesians 6:15

Shoes represent our foundation—how we move through the world. The gospel of peace is about embodying inner stillness and non-reactivity, choosing to walk in harmony rather than conflict.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.”  (John 14:27) — Jesus “Peace is every step.” — Thich Nhat Hanh “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” — Gandhi

SELF-REFLECTION

Where am I allowing external chaos to disturb my inner peace?

How do I contribute to peace (or conflict) in my relationships?

In what areas do I need to trust divine timing rather than forcing control?

FIND YOUR PEACE & HARMONY

Practice mindful walking—move with presence and gratitude.

Engage in conscious breathwork to cultivate inner stillness.

Choose peace over reaction—pause before responding in anger.

The Shield of Faith 

Deflecting Doubt and Fear

“Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” — Ephesians 6:16

Faith acts as a shield, protecting us from the “arrows” of fear, doubt, and negativity. It is trust in divine order, even when circumstances seem uncertain.

“Do not be afraid; just believe.” (Mark 5:36) — Jesus “Faith is not about everything turning out okay. It’s about being okay no matter how things turn out.” — Mother Teresa “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” — Rumi

SELF-REFLECTION

Where am I letting fear dictate my choices instead of faith?

Do I truly trust divine timing, or do I try to force outcomes?

How can I strengthen my faith in difficult moments?

FIND YOUR FAITH

Affirm divine protection daily—replace fear-driven thoughts with trust in God and Self.

Keep a faith journal—record moments where divine guidance appeared.

Surround yourself with faith-affirming people and teachings.

The Helmet of Salvation 

Guarding the Mind from Falsehood

“Take the helmet of salvation.” — Ephesians 6:17

The mind is a battlefield. This helmet shields against limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and deceptive thoughts. Salvation consciousness means aligning thoughts with divine wisdom, rejecting ego-driven fears.

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)  — Jesus “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”  — Marcus Aurelius

SELF-REFLECTION

Are you choosing to indulge in Fear or Love? Are you loving yourself, too?

Are you choosing to feed Doubt or Faith?

Are you choosing to live in Deception or Truth?

Are you choosing alignment with Chaos/Distraction or Peace/Clarity?

HONE YOUR CLARITY/DISCERNMENT

Challenge limiting beliefs—ask, “Is this thought from love or fear?”

Meditate on higher truths to rewire thought patterns.

The Sword of the Spirit 

Using Divine Wisdom as Power

“The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” — Ephesians 6:17

The sword represents discernment and spiritual wisdom. Unlike other armor, it is the only offensive piece—truth and divine wisdom cut through illusion.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4) — Jesus

SELF REFLECTION

How are you recognizing and disengaging from manipulative or ego-driven dynamics?

Are you trusting in divine guidance when faced with emotional challenges?

How are you moving forward with clarity and faith, rather than getting caught in cycles of doubt or external validation?

Are you holding onto your joy, creativity, and your spiritual calling despite resistance from others?

CULTIVATE YOUR WISDOM

Study sacred texts—use them as guidance.

Speak with clarity and truth—words create reality.

Putting on the armor of God is a daily spiritual practice—aligning with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, divine wisdom, and salvation consciousness which must be aligned with to sustainably produce the fruits of the spirit in your mortal life. 

How will you implement these in your life today?
