Wear your helmet

Psalm‬ ‭140:7‬ – “O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.” Unless we’ve actually been in the heat of battle, we may never actually understand what soldiers go through. They stand in the line of fire and wage a war against the enemy, based […]

Delight in God’s Word and Prosper

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭1:2 -3 – “…but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” The Psalms are […]

Seek wisdom and instruction always

Psalm 90:12—”Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.” Most of us don’t sit and think “oh! I am going to die because life is short”. Either we think about other pleasant things, worrisome things, or some don’t even have time to think with the busyness of everyday […]

Galatians 5:16 – “So I Say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.” When we write our exams the thing that pops in our mind is ‘I wish I could listen to music’; ‘what if I watch just one movie and then study for the […]
