Let’s raise confident, creative, and encouraged children—one story at a time

SPIRITUAL COVERING
I know the Bible speaks of spiritual covering in Hebrews 13:17, but I wasn’t sure how that translated into today’s modern-day church. I’ve always known that pastors cover their sheep, husbands cover their wives, and parents cover their children spiritually but today I really understood it.

I was in the ocean with Brielle. The beach here is very uneven, so you can be standing on high sand one minute and suddenly step into a deep hole the next. We went in deeper and came up to a sandbar, and the waves were pretty strong not super high, but strong.
I am taller than Brielle, so she was holding on to me. When the waves came, she would hold my hands and jump with them. A few times she forgot, and she got slammed with sand and seawater in her mouth and eyes.
As the waves started getting higher than her height, I would grab her and hold her up so she wouldn’t get hit. Then I saw a big one coming. Instinctively, I grabbed her, turned my back to the wave, and placed her right in front of me. She felt the wave, but she didn’t get hit I did.
My entire body protected her from the wave. She was able to simply hold on to me and feel the current.

This is covering.
Many times you’re being taken in deeper water to help you go deeper.
Many times you are being held up because you’re not tall enough spiritually to see above the waves.
And a lot of times your covering is getting hit and fighting battles that you only barely feel—because they are covering you as Christ covers them.
Here’s the thing: Brielle could have chosen not to let me protect her. She could have chosen to let go and be dragged by the current. But she chose to trust the person who has loved her and covered her the entire time.
In that moment, I began to have flashbacks of the many times I stepped out from under my covering because I thought I knew it all. The many times I thought I could do everything on my own. I began to deeply repent.
It’s true—you really don’t know until you’re there.
The number of times in my adulthood that I have said, “They were right,” has been humbling. I hate to admit it, but it’s true.
We can’t be covered if we don’t want to be.
We can’t be covered if we don’t trust.
And we can’t be covered if we don’t surrender.

-Madai

Jealousy is the DNA of Satan.

It was jealousy that grew in his heart when he was an angel of light standing before the throne of God. He wanted to become who he was never created to be. Jealousy gave birth to rebellion in his heart.
He first began to wrestle with identity—questioning whether he could be more than he was created to be, or something other than what God had designed him to be. He wanted to take control of his own creation and destiny, desiring to become like God—his own god. He no longer wanted to submit to the One seated on the throne he himself wanted to occupy that seat.
Jealousy is the root of rebellion. When you inject yourself with it—or allow it to be injected into you—you allow Satan’s DNA to run through you. This is why he uses the airwaves to spread the disease of lust, jealousy, and greed. He seeks to impregnate the mind so that his seed will run through your veins.
Address the root, and you will heal.
