Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be overwhelmed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41:10 I was contemplating staying home from church on Sunday and just watching it online. It had been a long week and there had been many moments of battling with the enemy. Some battles ended in victory and some didn’t. It felt like a week of constant attacks, hence, the temptation to stay home. But, I deeply wanted to be obedient to God and I knew He wanted me to go to church.…

 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. – Joshua 1:9 At our Sunday service the pastor gave the congregation the opportunity to come forward and share what they were thankful for. It was a special and encouraging time of hearing how God is working in so many lives. One woman said she was thankful that God trusts her. That was a unique statement because we often here, “I trust You Lord,” but to hear that He trusts us made me want to know about her story. After services I asked her and…

I am God Most High! The only sacrifice I want is for you to be thankful and to keep your word. – Psalm 50:14 November is a month that people tend to be more aware of the things they are thankful for. Lists are made, posts are written and stories are shared at the dinner table, all in the spirit of Thanksgiving. Gratitude brings true honor to God and we should be thankful for all His blessings, His provision, the beauty of nature, His love and His forgiveness. Today’s passage challenged me to go deeper. The NIV translation reads, “Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most…

You are ____________’s King, O God. Command victories for her! Through You, will ________________ push down her adversaries. Through Your name will _______________ tread them under who rise up against her. _______________ will give thanks to Your name forever. – Psalm 44:4-5,8 There are so many incredible stories in the bible of people who experienced unimaginable victories. They overcame obstacles, found freedom, were released from prisons and became new creations in Christ. The beginning of Psalm 44 speaks about remembering the days of old. How God delivered His chosen people and placed them in the promised land. It wasn’t by their own efforts, but by the power of God working…

O my God, shine Your light and truth to help me see clearly, To lead me to Your holy mountain, to Your home. – Psalm 43:3 When I first saw this image it made me want to throw my hands in the air in praise and worship. It was an answer to my prayer for a cover photo for the new Royal Records book. The theme of the new book is Blessed is She Who Believes. Jesus gave His longest recorded message to His followers at the Sermon on The Mount and it contained clear direction on how to live differently in this world. His ways are not our ways and…

I thought this passage was very fitting for this season and wanted you to experience it personally. We have so much to be thankful for and…

I will instruct _____________ and teach her in the way she should go. I will counsel _____________ and watch over her. – Psalm 32: 8 My husband recently started working with a new contractor. This man is not from our area and there are many new things that he needs to learn about building in Idaho. One the nicest compliments that my husband has made about him is that he is teachable. That is a great quality in a Daughter of The King. As today’s verse mentions, God is willing to teach, instruct and counsel those who are willing to listen and learn. I especially like the part where He…

________________ has trusted in the Lord without wavering. – Psalm 26:2 One of the incredible blessings about reading the personalized bible is that it calls you out. The written Word comes alive and it helps me to take hold of the promises and instruction found within. But it goes even deeper when verses like today’s, makes you ask if that is a true statement of yourself. Launa has trusted in the Lord without wavering. I want that to be true! I know that it currently isn’t. The beauty is that in just a few verses later it reads, “For Your steadfast love is before her eyes.” God is ever leading…

The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. – Proverbs 24:16 While on vacation I walked quite a bit but I fell prey to the,”it’s a special occasion so a few desserts are okay,” mindset and no surprise, I gained back a few of the pounds I had worked so hard to lose. Even when I was in the midst of deciding whether or not to partake, I could hear the verse, “When tempted He will provide a way out.” I just didn’t take it. The enemy didn’t stop there. At home I was attacked mentally about the new number on the scale and condemnation started…
