BIBLE COVER

 

Psalms 32:7

“Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.” 


“I was looking for it. 

My Bible with the black cover. 

 It zips up.  

My initials are on the front.

It’s large print.

 I have got to find it.

Oh yeah, I remember. 

 It’s in my car. 

I want to go get my Bible.

 I want to put my new book tabs on it.

However, it is very dark outside. 

I am going to have to wait until tomorrow.”


I have several Bibles.

 Some have been given to me over the years. 

Some have wrinkled and torn pages.

 One is relatively new. 

A few I can read without my glasses. 

The big burgundy Bible encased in the black cover has large print.

I have had it for twenty-six years.

My father and mother were both with me when I purchased it.

The date was July 20, 1997.


Why the details?

For me… It is because every moment matters.

From cover to cover, beginning to end, start to finish.

Every moment matters.


God knows that in order for us to live a life of love, faith, and hope, we need protection.

We need cover from the intense pressure and threatening challenges that occur over the course of a lifetime.


Bible cover. 

Scriptural saturation.

God has given us the Living Word.

The Bible addresses all that pertains to life.

The scriptures are light in darkness.

They offer peace in the midst of chaos.

The Word of God is a shield and an anchor.


Bible cover.

Within the pages of scripture we find meaning.

The fruit of the Spirit, covering…covered:


Love☑️

Joy☑️

Peace☑️

Longsuffering☑️

Gentleness☑️

Goodness☑️

Faith☑️

Meekness☑️

Temperance☑️


Life and death.

Everything is covered. 


Bible cover.

What a blessing…

Covered by God.


God bless✨ 

In Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
