Write ten verses a day from the book of John until you reach its end. That was the challenge set forth by J.R. Briggs from Kairo Partnerships and one I was ready to take on. I had never heard of “hand copying” Scripture before; I’ve dabbled in Bible journaling and drawing, but if it weren’t for J.R.’s invitation during a chapel in undergrad, I would’ve missed out on the beauty of writing Scripture. Want to learn the biblical precedent behind hand copying and how to make it part of your Scripture engagement toolbox?

Knowing these details beforehand helps me better appreciate and understand the story unfolding on the big screen. Watching a trailer does more than just entertain us for a few minutes; it opens the curtains ever so slightly into the essence of the movie. While not every movie appeals to us, every book of the Bible shows us the character of God and who we should be in response. Every book is a chapter in the bigger redemption story. They all will appeal to us somehow, simply because it is God’s love letter to his beloved. https://www.delightinthelordministry.com/blog/oreo-birthday-mug-cake monthly 0.5 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/d070365f-9cdc-4613-bce7-fa5c925f94b3/465A0010-Edit.jpg Blog - Oreo Birthday Mug Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/fb26a512-fc48-40fa-968d-4223cc8ab64e/465A0067-Edit.jpg Blog - Oreo Birthday Mug Cake - Procedure 1.

Or even as we beat ourselves up for not following through with our goals. Yet, in light of God’s salvation, we don’t have to try so hard to reach an impossible standard—Christ already met that standard for us at the cross. Instead, we can stand firm in his victory, receiving his grace and seeking to honor him with God-glorifying thoughts and resolutions. We can hold loosely to our resolutions, trusting that God ultimately has the best plan to advance his glorious name. But what do we do when last year’s failures and new year anxieties threaten to hijack our minds? How do we set our minds on God-honoring goals? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/e6cbae7d-24a4-4511-8648-4f2012b4a864/Services+1.png Writing - Featured Writing Below, you will find my most recent featured articles and blog posts! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/3ce1f2c0-ed8b-46a7-b3df-0d73e5352317/About+1+%281%29.png Writing - When You Don’t Like What You See in the Mirror With so many voices flooding our social media grids and populating our news outlets, it’s easy to ignore the voice of our God, who knows us best. This is especially true when we look at ourselves in the mirror, tempted to compare ourselves to others or even our past selves. Shame might be a product of the fall, but the truth is embodied by our King and Savior, Jesus Christ, and it’s available to all who come to him. While we may not always like what we see in the mirror, God has already called our bodies good, and Jesus came to dismantle any lies that say otherwise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/fd9b9a38-9d8e-40f6-b4df-cfb15a79bc4c/Home+2.png Writing - The God of Our Salvation “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29, ESV) Some things only belong to God, including the understanding behind why certain things happen the way they do. But all the knowledge we need to trust him is revealed throughout Scripture. While I still didn’t get it, and my physical pain didn’t diminish, God was faithful to provide as I obeyed his commandments. He provided abounding comforts, peace as I ate, and delight in him, his people, and His Word. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/0b19bcaa-bcd7-43cf-a96e-c436adb1d7a0/Home+1.png Writing - Working from a Place of Grace As God’s carefully designed workmanship, we have a new calling to do good works in response to his salvation. And when we rest in the truth of his salvation, we can confidently work as an act of worship to honor God and serve others. When viewed in light of the gospel, our work can be done from a place of grace, not striving or approval. But what do we do when the intrusive lies about our work threaten to overcome us? God calls us to meditate on what’s true (Phil. 4:8), so here are three gospel-centered truths to soothe our anxious minds: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947515201-GESZM054ZY8AD3AKDJGR/Services4.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947526223-XMOW8Z2ZVH8UGA8VXEUF/About4.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947534868-A3Q8A6PYJZYBHNQ41KDX/Services3.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947538080-50VOLX81MSCFEKXVWY5A/About3.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947541384-9BMMJX9K9G4OTCM08IDW/About3.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1677463683778-05IIXBBEGW279LX6P7GE/pexels-marta-dzedyshko-2067631.jpg Writing https://www.delightinthelordministry.com/about daily 0.75 2023-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1683515094151-YHTSF1WO206OA5E4B011/WhatsApp+Image+2023-04-13+at+6.07.01+PM.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1683515093977-RGMLI781RI3DBUILS5F5/WhatsApp+Image+2023-04-20+at+5.38.39+PM.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1683515094771-CMN26N2BR5WPNKZR6HZU/WhatsApp+Image+2023-04-28+at+8.09.02+PM.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1683515093097-RCNWX74127TBIWO6R8J8/WhatsApp+Image+2023-05-07+at+9.53.04+PM.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/826ebf62-b060-438d-b83d-a5c1b13466de/Services+3.png About - Hey there! I’m Ela Alvarado, a Honduran-native writer who loves to delight in God’s creation. As my love for Scripture grew in college, I knew God was calling me to dig deeper into His Word. Over the years, I’ve found that when we have the right tools and the diligence to dig deep, we encounter pure delight. “Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.” (Psalm 111:2, NIV) Ready to go deeper? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947532659-KPZ0SJ187D044Q6EPX8Z/About4.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947560633-Z2HK3U3BFUDN7NN8E6QV/About4.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1676947572645-H31CUS4WL6B2156XSND9/About3.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1677454014562-RSKBGUKOXZHIG62EJTG7/pexels-amy-far%C3%ADas-12812920.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/1677454526806-QUBD6R5X3F4JLR7FR3FQ/pexels-tara-winstead-8383476.jpg About https://www.delightinthelordministry.com/printables daily 0.75 2024-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/fef29392-a248-4509-94e7-40486358ee10/Morning+Bible+Verses+Printable.jpg Printables - 5 Bible Verses to Pray in the Morning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/cd15dec6-b60a-4994-8a18-35b614d1bab3/5+Ways+to+Identify+a+Theme+in+the+Bible.png Printables - 5 Ways to Identify a Theme in the Bible https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/2a84d82e-2078-45c4-8863-22948aa179ec/5+Tips+to+Enjoy+Reading+the+Bible.png Printables - 5 Tips to Enjoy Reading the Bible https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f4303a68f64528eca2915e/5dbace1b-9b02-4dcc-a606-a75a53a1fd4c/5+tips.png Printables - 5 Questions to Ask After Reading the Bible
