Sweet Tea for the Soul

Down Home Devotions to Comfort the Soul 

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

Psalm 91:5-6

Get Your Goat

There is a certain breed of domestic goat that is known to faint when startled.  At the sound of a loud noise, its hind leg muscles freeze up for about ten seconds and this 'fainting goat' collapses on its side like a sack of potatoes!  

What happens when the enemy catches you off guard?  Are you temporarily paralyzed with fear?  Many of us feel overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear.  These are all natural responses, but faith is a supernatural response to these feelings.  Believers have a choice - to flee in fear or flex their faith muscles.  Speak His Word over your circumstance.  Proclaim the name of Jesus over your fear.  Don't worry about what people think.  Instead, open your Bible and find out what God has to say about the situation.

Faith Check

We don't have to let fear floor us.  Let's take our eyes off our circumstances and look to Christ instead.  After all, faith is what separates the sheep from the goats.

Friday Fotos

Mr D and I set outside for a little while yesterday afternoon.  It was a little cool, but we opened the garage door and sat right inside.  That way we are protected from the wind and keeps us a little warmer.  I noticed how blue and clear the sky was, Mr D told me it was a Blue Bird Sky.

It was a nice day to be outside.

Post Script

I would like to mention, the glass in the first picture came from a set that belonged to my mother-in-law.  I was so happy and blessed to get a few of them.  The family did well dividing her things between them, things that are now our treasures.

Until Next Time
