Strife is a swindler
Strife wants to waist our life away, deplete our bodies, dehydrate good emotions, eat at our life savings, deteriorate our marriage, and make us forget about the fact that God placed everything in His Son’s hands! We’ve got to realize fear and strife are tactics. Then we’ve got to PAUSE. Shift. Shake things up for the enemy. Interrupt his actions. Flip the script- Disagree with his discord. Quit consenting to his clashing, cheating, and scamming. If God put all the things in the Son’s hands, then we should too.

A House Home
Foundations are put in place first. When you have Him as your foundation, you want the walls to be strong. You want the power to come on! You want the electricity to work. You care about the running water! You desire the airflow and heat to generate as needed. You want that house to be a home! For that to happen, you need something warm in it! You need love. You need things that only God can provide. You want Him to circulate through the house and make it feel homey. When He’s invited in, we are more considerate. When He is around, we want to be kind. When He…
