Grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness. Acts 4:29 Peter and John had been declaring the gospel in the Temple courtyard when they were arrested and put in jail overnight. The next day they brought before the rulers, elders, scribes and high priest to be interrogated and were asked,… Continue reading Praying for Boldness
Author: Carolyn Dawson
I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer. My first book - aptly named 'The Narrow Path' will be published in September 2024. I live in Northern Ireland and when I get the opportunity, I love to travel.
Such Love
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 A Sunday School prize that I received when I about 7 or 8 years old was a framed picture of a little girl holding a lamb with Romans 5:8 quoted along the bottom. It was… Continue reading Such Love
Strength Comes From Trusting
No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God. Romans 4:20 Abraham had absolute belief that God’s word was true. The trust that he had in the One that called them out of Ur grew in strength every day. From the… Continue reading Strength Comes From Trusting
A Good Heart
As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. Proverbs 27:19 If the eyes are the windows of the soul then the mouth is the doorway of the heart. The things that we see and hear create feelings and emotions within our heart. The more intense the emotion is, the… Continue reading A Good Heart
The Truth Shield
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Proverbs 30:5 In a world full of mistrust, fake news, slander, rumours and gossip, it is reassuring to have a firm and sure foundation on which to build our faith. God’s Word is true and it is upon… Continue reading The Truth Shield
Walking with Unshakeable Faith
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king… “our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.” Daniel 3:16,17 Throughout the bible and history, great men loved to build great statues and Nebuchadnezzar was no different.… Continue reading Walking with Unshakeable Faith
Walking with Daniel
Daniel 1:19 – And the king (Nebuchadnezzar) spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Having been carried off into captivity and chosen to serve the king, Daniel and his friends were taught the literature and language of the Chaldeans for three years. On orders of… Continue reading Walking with Daniel
Walking with Habakkuk
O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Habakkuk 1:2 I think we can all relate to Habakkuk in one way or another. Like Jonah, he wore his heart on his sleeve and at this moment, his heart is confused. He is calling out to God but it seems… Continue reading Walking with Habakkuk
Faith of a Centurion
Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. Matthew 8:8 Of all the people most likely to see the truth of who Jesus was, a Roman centurion would probably not be at the top of the list. How it happened… Continue reading Faith of a Centurion
Walking with Micah
But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Micah 7:7 Micah was a prophet in Judah, and although he walked in the ways of God, he identified with the collective sin of the nation he belonged to. He understood… Continue reading Walking with Micah
