Scriptures About the Lord is a Shield
Scriptures About the Lord is a Shield
Throughout the Bible, scripture names many metaphors for God. Many of these relate to and tell us about his character. A large part of Godâs character, as is true of any good parent, is a protector. Thus, one of the things that the Bible says is that the Lord is a shield.

The Pressing of Olive Oil â The Pressing of Jesus
The Pressing of Olive Oil â The Pressing of Jesus
About a year ago I saw an Instagram post by Dave Adamson that brought several analogies to mind and inspired me to do some research and write a post. His post was about Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and the parallels of an olive press (âGethsemaneâ) and Jesus being pressed with the weight of our sin and his sacrifice.

Choose Gratitude
Choose Gratitude
Sometimes the holidays can be a difficult time for people. It can feel like something to âget throughâ rather than something to enjoy. At times there are triggers that can keep us from loving and appreciating the holidays as much as we could. Itâs in times like these that we have to make a choice to be grateful and find joy. We need to choose gratitude. I recently heard thatâŚ

Surrendering to God is an excellent way to start the day. Surrender is the opposite of self-effort. To surrender we have to stop resisting and submit to an authority other than ourselves. We can surrender to Godâs authority because we can know and trust in Godâs character. The act of surrendering to God shows that we have confidence and hopeâŚ

Scriptures About Surrendering to God
As a Christian, I think one of the most challenging but most important things we can do is learn the act of surrendering to God, to His will, and to His ways. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, many people like to conveniently leave out the âLordâ part. We want the savingâwe just donât want to be told what to do or how to live by a master.
