Be Still and Know
God knows it’s challenging for us to feel safe and secure in such an unstable and uncertain world. He knows our natural tendency is to walk by sight, cling to earthly things and live in fear (whether or not we say so out loud). This frail alliance often causes us to panic when what we want […]

A New Song
I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise […]

The Doe of the Dawn
Psalm 22 has been on my mind, and I hope you will take time to read it – and read it with a prophetic eye to Jesus. Written 1,000 years before Jesus was born yet having “My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?” as an opening line, this psalm should easily capture our […]

The Two Paths
If you’re like me, you are repeatedly drawn back to the very center of the Bible: the Psalms. These ancient, inspired songs supernaturally connect our lives with the very heartbeat of our Heavenly Father. They openly express vast ranges of raw emotion, ask difficult questions and invoke intimate conversations with God. They take us on […]

Praise Awaits You
Recently, I celebrated a numerically significant birthday. We could just leave it at that, but I’m going to disclose the digits as I talk about my “birthday psalm” anyway. So, turning sixty-five is kind of hard for me to believe. It seems a long way off, and then inexplicably, there are a lot of candles […]

The Sounds of Silence
“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 NIV As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God. Psalm 42:1 NIV In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. Psalm 5:3 NASB95 I call […]

Jars of Clay
Isn’t it interesting one of the things Scripture calls us is “jars of clay” 2 Corinthians 4:7. Not long ago, I was broken and defeated from the relentless personal attacks of the enemy – you might call it spiritual identity theft as a result of agreeing with the lies spoken over me. And the more I […]

What Does Scripture Say?
What does Scripture say? Rom 4:3 NIV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1 ESV I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from […]

The King of Glory
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! Psalm 24:7-8 ESV The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and […]

A Sure Foundation
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3 NIV “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but You do not come to save. Must I see these evil deeds forever? Why must I watch all this misery? Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence. I am surrounded by people who love […]
