The Lord is our Refuge

CastleHome

 

 

As the people of God assemble today
may they not be afraid of the terror
by night nor the arrow that flies by
day and may they not rehearse those
matters but rather encourage one
another and say that the Lord is our
Refuge, our Fortress, the One we lean
on and confidently trust in. (Ps.91:2)

Watch Outside by the Fireside

Outside by the Fireside with Marty Kathy and Melissa Gabler.
They discuss Psalm 91 and the One Who is our Refuge from
the terror by night and the arrow that flies by day.

Cuppa Cocoa by the Fireside

Grab your Bible and a cuppa cocoa. Throw an extra log on the fire (I’m gonna throw on a couple of pine cones too) and let’s see what the Word of God says about what we and our families can expect at this time in world events. Kathy will be joining me Outside by the Fireside.

Emancipation From Fear

2020 Perspective Shift: Perhaps
the intense nature of the end of
this decade is not a foretelling
of the hardship to come, but
rather the emancipation
from fear. —Melissa

Pursuing God’s Wisdom

I’m beginning to realize that pursuing God’s wisdom and understanding is more the heart of interpretation than seeing it as a specialized or rare gift.  Since clarity and connecting the dots is the goal of communication, then pursuing God for wisdom is evidently what He had in mind for us to do.  If we remember the definition of ManThinkingReadingwisdom is sage advice or the act of interpreting dreams and the ability to discover the meaning of a mysterious number or vision, then when we ask for it, we know we are asking for the ability to interpret and discover meanings.  And James 1:5 tells us that if we ask for wisdom, God will give it.  Even if God doesn’t give you a gift with a bow on it like a word of wisdom, He will give you wisdom that leads you in the search and discovery process.  Then you will be able to find answers or find resources or references with answers, and once you understand a dream, you can ask for wisdom also to know how to respond to it. –Kathy Gabler

Shedding Failure

hardship to come, but rather the
shedding of the things that have
kept us bound to cycles of failure.

Pursuing Wisdom

Genesis 40:8 says, “It is God who gives the ability to interpret dreams.”  I grew up BibleHandsPraythinking that interpreting dreams was a specialized gift and a calling that God only gave to certain people, but the scripture doesn’t really say that.  When we consider Daniel and Joseph, they pursued wisdom.  They knew that God had answers and they were confident they could go to God to enlighten them, (and they both said as much.)  We too can go to God and ask for wisdom and understanding, and we know that God can release a gift of His Spirit that opens understanding with a word of wisdom or a word of knowledge or discernment or prophecy, etc. –Kathy Gabler

Accelerating Understanding

Thankfully, there will also be times that Father accelerates our understanding with JetAfterBurner.jpga gift of the Spirit, (e.g., a word of wisdom – 1Cor 12), and the symbols and the meaning of the dream just become clear!  That’s exactly what happened the first time I interpreted a dream.  It happened at the  breakfast table when I suddenly understood Marty’s dream.  I had no idea that was a “word of wisdom” in operation.  All I knew was that God had finally answered my years of prayer to be like Joseph, Daniel and my Great Grandpa who were able to interpret dreams.  —Kathy Gabler
