There are many blessings that come with living in our Father’s shelter—food, clothing, and provision (Matthew 6:19–33). However, when you live in Daddy’s house, you also abide by Daddy’s rules (John 14:15). This is where the internal struggle can begin if we’re not careful. Many of us want to rest under Daddy’s roof, eat Daddy’s blessings, and be protected by Daddy’s shelter—all while disobeying Daddy’s rules. Is it fair to expect the shadow without the abiding?

The most important decision any woman (any person) will ever make is which God to follow. That single choice shapes everything—your friends, your habits, how you handle stress and loss, what you call “joy,” how you raise children, your worldview, and ultimately whom you marry.

<p>As I work furiously to transfer all of the knowledge I have in my head to my protégé with less than a week to go I am reminded of a similar transfer between Elijah a prophet and Elisha his pupil. Elijah was an amazing prophet who God called into glory while he was still living&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://newwordtoday.wordpress.com/2017/10/06/times-of-transition/#more-531">Continue Reading &rarr;</a></p>

What if God is whispering a warning through a pop-culture parable? People don’t fear you until they notice your potential. Announce that potential loudly enough—boast, brandish, broadcast—and you paint a target on your back. It’s not that excellence is wrong; it’s that arrogance invites opposition.

<p>Today we are going to become Quantum physicists! Becoming a quantum physicist was my lifelong dream until very recently and if I am honest with myself I kind of still want to study quantum physics. I love this field of science because it deals with Space-Time or how speed and distance can actually affect time&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://newwordtoday.wordpress.com/2017/10/03/quantum-faith/#more-349">Continue Reading &rarr;</a></p>

<p>&nbsp; Today America witnessed one of the most atrocious massacres in US history the grandeur of which will be felt for ages to come.

<p>Today I put in my two weeks’ notice at a job that I’ve been at for over half a decade. I love the job and cherish the people.

<p>In the midst of massive worldwide devastation, many feel insignificant, alone and hopeless. Multiple hurricanes in less than two weeks have devasted multiple American cities and many coastal islands. An earthquake the likes Mexico has never seen had toppled building and killed hundreds. Many around those areas of the world and many watching what appears&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://newwordtoday.wordpress.com/2017/09/28/takes-more-than-a-hurricane/#more-206">Co

<p>I get it! No one likes to fail. Failure can leave one feeling depressed, defeated, emotionally a wreck, rob one of motivation and even leave a person feeling like less than worthy and this is especially so when someone looks at a fall, misstep, or delay as an actual failure. However, there is another way&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://newwordtoday.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/the-three-best-ways-to-fail/#more-197">Continue Reading &rarr;</a></p>

<p>He Who Dwells Today we will look at one scripture, but before we do there are a few words we will need to have a deeper understanding of. First there is the word shadow which comes from the Hebrew word tsalal.

<p>Are You Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb? A song that is a staple in old American churches that have a traditional background is Are You Washed in The Blood.
