Spiritual Practice Take Refuge IN God Choose God Deborah acrazyjourney.com

Bible Study Psalm 34:8 ESV When we choose God we also choose goodness, for no man is consistently and inherently good. Only God is good 100% of the time. Psalm 34:8 says, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!” Think of it this way…when we take refuge in God we inherit God’s goodness. It seems easy, doesn’t it? I wish…but there is a conundrum. While we can say we want goodness, it’s not a one time choice. That’s because the circu

Bible Study Choose 3 Zechariah 7:9 ESV The Lord God gave the Prophet Zechariah three “take-away” commands. The words were in the form of a command. In the Hebrew the first word is שְׁפֹ֔טוּ (pronounced šə·p̄ō·ṭū) which translated means “execute” or give true. In Zechariah 7:9 he was told: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another. The three items on the list for Zechariah were all intended to be a person to person take-away.

Today is the National Day of Writing. I wrote my first story in second grade and I was excited about writing stories. My dad helped me but he didn’t give me the answer…instead he asked key questions that helped me to decide what to write about. I don’t remember the story but I do remember how much I loved the assignment. I was forever hooked. Celebrate writing today! Deborah acrazyjourney.com

We’ve studied it before but it’s important to reiterate that in the ancient world their best means of protection was having a strong city wall. In Proverbs 25:28 we are told, “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” At first glance we might wonder how personal self-control can be compared to a protec

Zechariah 7:9 ESV Matthew 7:21-23 LB John 14:6 ESV Understanding kindness can be somewhat difficult. It seems like that’s because in today’s world we think of kindness as being a person who appears to do kind things. Because that person does kind things people today make the assumption that person always does kind things, even to the point they let others misread them. That is not Biblical kindness. In Zechariah 7:9 we are told, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgm
