Now is the time. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, but right now. Now is the time to praise You. Now is the time I need You. I cry out to You, Lord, and call on You. My needs are great. There is nowhere else for me to go, no one else for me to seek. There…

Lucy Living
“Oooh,” Lucy exclaimed at her computer screen. She clicked “Add to Cart” and scrolled down. “Oh, I like that,” she said, leaning in for a closer look. Roger ambled to her side. Resting his gnarled hand on her shoulder, he asked, “How’s it going?” Lucy smiled up at him and patted his hand, “Good.” “It’s…
Enough For Today
If He did it once, He can do it again. I will remember the things He has done. How many times has He rescued me? How many times has He answered just when I’ve needed it? How many times have I wondered about how He’ll do it this time? Today, everything’s taken care of. Comfortable?…
To Dwell in His House
How lovely are Thy dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! (Psalm 84:1 NASB) It is good to dwell in Your house, Lord. To rest in You. To praise You and let You minister to me. There is always so much going on, so many things to do, so much demanding my attention. But You give…
The Most High God
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name (Ps. 103:1 NASB). Let all that is within me proclaim that You alone are the Most High over all the earth (Ps. 83:18). When terrors come my way, let me remember You always. The only wise God (Ro. 16:27).…
Sing for Joy
I want to walk in joy today. I don’t want to be irritable and angry and frustrated. And the answer is…Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob (Psalm 81:1 NASB). Thank You, Father. I will sing. I will sing loud and with conviction. I will sing with joy.…
Feeling God and Knowing He’s Always With Me
How come, if You’re always with me and You’re always there, do I only feel You sometimes? I’m sure there’s some great theological explanation, but frankly, I don’t want theology. I don’t want mans’ study of You. I just want You. And I’m sure that there’s a theological debate about feeling You, experiencing You, and…
Remember His Mighty Works
My voice rises to God….In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord (Psalm 77:1-2 NASB). When trouble comes, as it always does, I will remember Your mighty works. That’s all You ask of me in rough times, or any time really. You are faithful and You always have been. So even when everything…
Know No Limits: Why I Can Do All Things
God is big. Really, really big. He is to be praised. He is to be feared. Lord, You are able to do all things. I know this in my head. But when You call me to do something I am not able to do, I’m quick to tell You I can’t do it. I suppose…
God Fought For Me
You are my king from of old (Psalm 74:12). You redeemed me. Back when I only knew stories about You, back when I wanted my way, not Yours, You reached down. You sought me out. I was intrigued, but not sure. I was tempted to right, but still too curious about the ways of the…
