Fire and Water | My Cup Overflows

Fire_and_water_Psalm_66:12_scripture_hidden_in_my_heart

I’m certainly afflicted. It’s been hard. In Psalm 34:19 it states that many are the afflictions of the righteous. In Psalm 66:10-12 it states that You (God) have tested, refined and afflicted. Both verses do not end there. They both say BUT (and oh how I love the “buts” in scripture… oh how I NEED...

Behold Your King

It’s Holy Week. I’m not one who typically rushes to celebrate the traditional Christian holidays, like Easter.

Kept

I’ve given myself a challenge to shorten my Hidden In My Heart posts. My desire is to get to the point, short and sweet (isn’t God’s word so sweet ~ Psalm 119:103!). We’ll see how this goes… I’ve been overtaken with awe over Jude 1:1. This is a letter to the early church, from Jude. ...

Hiding Place

Dear Friend, I feel your sorrow and your grief although I know I could never come close to understanding what it is like to walk in the difficulty of your shoes. The Lord has given me a word of encouragement for you, so I am blessed you would be finding these words to read right...
