humble thyself
The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.” – Ruth 2:12 Ruth was a woman who left her people, her country, her prospects of re-marrying after the death of her husband to follow her aged mother in…

At home
I was taking a walk the other day, praying. And I began to think about how completely different I am from God, and how very little I truly know or understand about God. And I think about heaven, and being there and being at home, but having so much to learn. It’s like traveling to…

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…

But is He real?
I was sitting on the floor in Barnes and Noble with my daughter yesterday, checking out the children’s Bibles. My daughter Gemma suddenly said: “Is God even still real?” Good question. Children speak their minds, adults are often afraid to. And it’s a question that most of the world is asking (if, only secretly). IS…

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…

Ashamed of the gospel
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Rom 1:16 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in…
