Turn Neither to the Right Nor the Left

  It has been the pattern of my life that some of my deepest, most insightful thoughts occur in the fall. Today was one of those days and provided much insight into the current political climate and state of affairs, cautioning me to stay focused straight ahead through verses like the following:  “Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:27  Also “So you shall observe to do just as the LORD your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left. 33“You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33 Another, “And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.” Deuteronomy 28:14 “So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you a...

He Will Make My Feet Like Deer's Feet

There is a tree out my window with branches that look like a stag. I have been contemplating it for years. Sometimes I forget about it, others I see it. The tree stag has been jumping out at me recently again.  I looked it up and found a couple quotes on websites, “the stag came to symbolize God’s power, nobility, freedom and purity.” In Scottish lore, it symbolizes regeneration because of the antlers. “In the Christian imagination, the deer is a symbol of piety, devotion and of God taking care of his children: men.” “In it's simplest form, deer symbolize the joys of loving Christ intimately (Song of Songs 2:7). In biblical symbology, deer represent piety, devotion, and safety in God's care. They are a symbol of thirst and longing for the Lord. ... Deer feet are an analogy for our spiritual feet.”  There were also a couple saints associated with the stag as divine encounters. It basically represents something good in every culture, but I went with the Scottish...

Keep Believing No Matter How Long it Takes

It’s just a little story. Forty-three years ago today, I lost someone very special to me. It pretty much did me in at such a young age. For a couple years, I asked every day for a sign; something, anything. There was nothing. I remember asking on that day; the birds were singing, the sun was still shining, someone was mowing a yard and life was carrying on yet to me, all was silent.  This morning I recalled that person and only a bit later while sitting at the window looking o ut into the trees to which I look every morning, there I saw it, a tiny redbird flitting through the trees and this time, instead of a tear, there was a smile. Keep on believing, no matter how long it takes, just keep believing. It may take years, it may take decades, it may take a lifetime, but the blessing and the healing will come if you believe.  About Cheryl Yale-Bruedigam Cheryl Yale-Bruedigam has been writing spiritually for thirty years.

Letters To My Sisters - The Key

More Than You Can Bear?

In reflection this morning on the verse, 1 Cor 10:13, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation (shown in KJ Study Bible alternately as trials ) also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it,” that when we read this, most times we are looking for an external answer or help. We feel disappointed or let down when it does not magically appear, but it is probable that God is the escape. Simply turning to God is the way to bear it. Rather than always looking outwardly for help or escape, we may need to turn inward. It's not always about getting us out of the situation but sometimes is about getting us through it. God will always be with us and He is the way out or through even the worst of times. About Cheryl Yale-Bruedigam Cheryl Yale-Bruedigam has been writing spiritually for thirty years.

Baptism by Fire - New Video

Watch here or on my channel Baptism by fire and the Holy Spirit. Beautiful depiction upon the feminine.  Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Have you felt with all that you have been through in the trials of your spirit that you too were baptized by fire? It is the fire of purification. Once we commit to God, we receive these trials and are purified through the fire and the Holy Spirit where we emerge cleansed and pure, ready for the fresh start in the light of God.  Inspiring, uplifting women's music video.
