psalm 138:2
…your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. Consider that one. If God has promised you something — it’s backed by the honor of His name. He cannot lie, and He will never fail.

Striving and Peace
Cease striving and know that I am God… Psalm 46:10 This verse is most often rendered: “Be Still and know that I am God” But I love the way the NASB phrases it. To “cease striving”. Today is saturday and a lovely one at that. I slept in, cut the grass, had mexican food for…

it’s settled
Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89 What’s the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning? For me — it’s usually some song that starts playing in my mind. But yesterday, the first thought that pops into my head is this: “Your going to be killed…

psalm 42
This morning I was reading Psalm 42(in the NLT). I love the Psalms, it’s one of my favorite places to go. I had a great teacher in Jr. High who told me that he read a Psalm every day. Psalms so often are a catylst for praise. Extoling and magnifying the Lord. Often times I…

More on Suffering
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; (Phil 3:10) The one constant prayer in my life has been “I want to know you Lord.” I’m certainly not the first to pray such things. It was said of Tozer that…
