    Episode 34 Resting and Dwelling in God's Shelter

    In Psalm 91, we read beautiful and powerful promises of God's protection and care for us. We can take this gentle but strong image with us: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

    Episode 33 Letting God Be Your Light

    What does it mean to see Jesus as the light of the world? Just as a candle cannot light itself, we cannot bring light into our own souls.

Then Jesus becomes the light of the world.

    Episode 30 Cast Your Cares

    In 1 Peter 5:7 we see that verb "cast" and in Psalm 55:2 we read, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." As you think about your cares or burdens today, what would it mean to give these worries to the Lord?
