Facing Lions

“Roaring lions tearing their prey open their mouths wide against me. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint.” Psalm 22: 13,14

It wasn’t a dream. It was worse than a nightmare. It was a vision—a terrifying vision. 

A Splendid Weapon

“He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”  Isaiah 49:2, 3

Sometimes, people seem confused about Jesus. 

He Had a Dream

“In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Ephesians 6:16 NIV

I have a shield. I did not make it. I did not buy it. I received it as a gift.

My Shield

“In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Ephesians 6:16 NIV

I have a shield. I did not make it. I did not buy it. I received it as a gift.

The Way of Sorrows

“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” Isaiah 53:3 KJV

There is a path marked out in the city of Jerusalem that is said to be the route on which the Roman soldiers led Jesus from the Judgment Hall to Golgotha. It is called the Via Dolorosa— “The Way of Sorrows.”

Peaks & Valleys

“After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them.” Mark 9:2 NIV

We like the peaks in our lives. We dread the valleys.
