By Amber Balista Psalm 40 1-3& 11-17 This is the Psalm for my devotional today. Its bit longer but worth taking some time with, so I am encouraging you to do that. Read it though twice, and highlight some things that stand out for you. Read it outload even to a loved one or pet. […]

March 24, 2020 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, […]

From Amber Balista For the past few weeks, I have been praying through the psalms. As a part of my field education (internship) my school requires that I practice not only skills in leadership and ministry but in self-care and soul care (spiritual disciples).

Isaiah 40:27-31         27 Why do you say, O Jacob,             and speak, O Israel,       “My way is hidden from the Lord,             and my right is disregarded by my God”?         28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?             The Lord is the everlasting God,             the Creator of the ends of the […]

1 Corinthians 12: 12-26 12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink […]

Psalm 46         1 God is our refuge and strength,             a very present help in trouble.         2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,             though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;         3 though its waters roar and foam,               though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
