Singing God's Word With the Elliott'sنموونە

Imagine that you’re in a battle; you run up to God, and He pulls you behind His shield. Your heart rate begins to slow, and you catch your breath.

Sometimes, when we make bad choices, we avoid running to God, thinking we need to “get right” first. But Christ already died while we were sinners (Rom. 5:8), so let’s practice bringing God into our negative spaces when we feel guilty or ashamed.

“God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield to all who look to Him for protection.” Psalm 18:30 NLT
