God is my...



There are truths that run through and over run Scripture about us.  Similar to what we have talked about many times including yesterday.  Scripture gives us great foundation to stand on, gives us what to believe and potential that makes us powerful.  But that power and foundation only comes when we believe God.

Take some time today to read the following verses.  Choose 2 or 3 of them to claim.  Maybe memorize these verses, but at least take the truth in that connects you to God.

Read on and pick out the ones that stand out.

Exodus 15:2  NLT
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!

2 Samuel 22:33  NLT
God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect.

Psalm 7:10  NLT
God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right.

Psalm 18:2  NLT
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

Psalm 54:4  NLT
But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!

Psalm 62:7  NLT
My victory and honor come from God alone. He is myrefuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

Psalm 91:2  NLT
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

Psalm 118:14  NLT
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.

Hebrews 13:6  NLT
So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”

Which 2 or 3 stuck out for you?  Take it the next step.  Memorize them.  Take them with you.  Repeat them often.  God is so much more than we can imagine.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
