Battles

March 22nd – Isaiah 53:5

Isaiah 53:5

The pain we carry can feel unbearable, the wounds from broken relationships, the weight of past mistakes, the silent battles no one sees. But there is One who knows every hurt, every scar, every tear we’ve cried. Jesus bore it all. His back was torn by the whip, His hands and feet pierced, His body crushed under the weight of our sin. He took every ounce of suffering so that we could be healed. Healed not just in body, but in heart, mind, and soul. The blood He shed wasn’t just for a moment in history. It was for you, for me, and for every wound we would ever endure.

When the pain feels too heavy, when the brokenness seems beyond repair, look to the Cross. That is where healing begins. Not in our own strength, not in the world’s empty promises, but in the wounds of the One who died to set us free. His suffering bought our peace, His stripes covered our shame. And through His sacrifice, we are made whole. Whatever hurt you carry today, bring it to Jesus. His love is greater, His healing is real, and His victory is ours.

June 30th – Psalm 5:12

Psalm 5:12

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I wish I could put a protective barricade around those that I love, shielding them from the evils of this world. As Christians we have such a shield; the favor of God. And not a flimsy, fallible one that exposes our areas of vulnerability. We have a “tsin’nāh.” A massive, standing shield that protects us on every side from the arrows of the Enemy. The battles will be many this side of heaven. Yet because of His great love, God will never make us fight those battles on our own. He surrounds us with His glory and might. And that which the Lord favors, no one can tear down. There is no safer place to be than sheltered under God. For He promises that those who find refuge in Him will not only find protection, but will be glad and ever sing for joy!
