God Our Shield And Sun

by Hazel Straub

Praise of the Lord God, brings his presence. There is nothing like dwelling in his presence. He gives us grace and favor. God is our Shield and Sun and he withholds nothing that is good from us!

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:10-11 AMPC)

Yahweh God Your Rock

by Hazel Straub

Yahweh God, keeps all whose thoughts are confidently fixed on him, in perfect shalom (peace, wholeness, nothing broken or missing). Yahweh honors your trust in him as you lean on him, your Rock. Know he is your shelter from the storm.

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]. (Isaiah 26:3-4 AMPC)

Holy, holy are you Lord God Almighty, our precious Father
All the honor, worship, praise and glory belongs to you

Holy Spirit Fruit

by Hazel Straub

Live in Holy Spirit and let him produce good fruit in you, through the love of God. Walking in love produces excellent fruit.

But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions:

joy that overflows,
peace that subdues,
patience that endures,
kindness in action,
a life full of virtue,
faith that prevails,
gentleness of heart, and
strength of spirit.
Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless. (Galatians 5:22-23 TPT)

God’s Mercy Fresh Each Day

by Hazel Straub

The love of God keeps us from destruction. We can depend on God’s faithfulness. His mercy and compassion inexhaustible. His mercy gives a fresh start to our day.

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT)

Listen To God And Change Your Life!

by Hazel Straub

My laptop’s battery had no charge because I had neglected to plug-in its charger. Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, when we meditate on fear and negativity, the charger of our soul is not connected to God. Repenting, turning back to Father God through Jesus, changing the thoughts entertained in our mind, will get Holy Spirit charging our lives with his light, love and light. Although the laptop might not have any battery charge, immediately when  connected to electricity, the laptop comes to life and is useful.

In the same way, ask Holy Spirit to give you understanding as you read Bible scriptures out loud,  meditate, speak and decree Bible verses over your life. Give your requests to God and then spend time in his presence listening to his reply because he loves you and speaks. Write it down and see your life transformed, as you listen and obey. Relating to God, by active listening, will change how you think and act. Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.(James 1:22 BSB)

The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.…(2 Corinthians 10:4-6 BSB)

Flourishing Like A Green Olive Tree

by Hazel Straub

When we seek God and dwell in him, his living water nourishes us. In his presence, our perspective changes to an eternal viewpoint. We become like a tenacious olive tree that enjoys long life, produces olives, oil for lamplight, eating and anointing oil. The olive tree is an evergreen. The roots of the olive tree can thrive in hot arid conditions, needing minimal water, and some still produce after 2,000 years. The olive branch, is the symbol for peace. (Noah sent out a dove from the ark after the flood and the dove returned with an olive branch in its beak. Like the olive tree we will flourish as we seek God and bask in his presence.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever. (Psalm 52:8 AMPC)

The LORD Is My Light

by Hazel Straub

In Alaska, at this time of year, we enjoy the midnight sun. It does not get dark at night and is light, 24 hours a day. People, plants, and all living things do well in the light.

In the same way, the Lord God, Yahweh, lights our way, casting out the darkness. Light shows us the pathway on which we can safely travel. It energizes us and warms us. Yahweh is our shelter and refuge, protecting us, and his love for us casts out fear.

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble? (Psalm 27:1 NLT)

Trust, Praise God For Victory!

by Hazel Straub

When we meet big obstacles and problems, we cannot solve, we choose to either give up or let God fight our battles. Humbling ourselves, surrendering our independence, yielding our pride in doing things our way, we cry to God for his help. Trusting (having confidence) and dependence on God, knowing he loves, cares and fights for us. Our focus turns to praise and worship of God, not the circumstances. He works wonders on our behalf and saves us out of our troubles. Hallelujah!

Though I am surrounded by troubles,
you will protect me from the anger of my enemies.
You reach out your hand,
and the power of your right hand saves me. (Psalm 138:7 NLT)
I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and he saved me from my enemies. (Psalm 18:3 NLT)
