Psalm 23: For His Name’s Sake
The Lord is my Shepherd. I have what I need. He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name’s sake. For his name’s sake. Sweet friend, as we meditate on what it means for the Lord…

Welcome back, friend! I don’t know what topic God will place on my heart for next week, but I want to close out this week with at least one more name: Citizen of Heaven. If you’ve been able to read the other nine posts in this series, I’m sure you’ve noticed a trend regarding the…

What’s in a Name: Child of Light
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine!” Hello, friend! I hope you sang “This Little Light of Mine” with me just now. It’s a great song, isn’t it? So simple that children can learn it easily. So true that adults hold onto it…

What’s in a Name: Accepted Part 2

What’s in a Name: Peculiar Person
I know what you’re thinking, “Of all the names you could have picked, Andrea, you went with peculiar?” Yep, there are a lot of names that sound more positive or more empowering than “peculiar” – names like conqueror, daughter, son, joint heir with Christ – and I’m sure God will walk us through those in…

What’s in a Name: Ambassador for Christ
2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, ‘Be reconciled to God’.” What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ? Click the image below to find out…

What’s in a Name: New Creation
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17 I shared in yesterday’s post that the Lord has been working with me for several weeks on the topic of identity, specifically identity in Christ, and today I’d like to share the…

On Assignment
Why am I here? Does my life even matter? Sweet friend, those are two questions that the enemy loves to twist us up in knots over. I know he’s certainly distracted me with them and filled me with doubt over them too. BUT GOD – man I love that phrase! – God gives us very…

Psalm 107: From Worldly Waters
Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world. And they observed the Lord’s power in the storms deep at sea. Sweet friends, verses 24-27 can be difficult to take in – How could God, loving and gracious and kind, cause storms in our lives? Orchestrate events so that we…
