I’ve prayed through Psalm 40 for my children, and for me. I share it here as a prayer for my children, and a prayer for your children. Our God is good. Lord, let my children wait patiently for You. Listen to them and hear their cries. Bring them up out of the pit of destruction.…

Sing Praises
O clap your hands, all peoples; shout to God with the voice of joy…Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises…sing praises…sing praises…God reigns…He is highly exalted. (Psalm 47:1,6,8,9 NASB) I woke up feeling a little off. Too many thoughts ran through my mind. Too many things for my to-do list. Too much. My mind…
God is Good
How did you wake up this morning? Did you wake up in a bad mood, a good mood, or just an ok mood? God is good. How are you doing lately? Have you had some rough news come your way, good news, or no news at all? God is good. What does your day ahead…
Change and Praising God
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised (Psalm 48:1). No matter what, God is great. He is to be praised. No matter what. No matter the circumstance. No matter what comes our way. Nothing takes Him by surprise. None of my present circumstances and none of yours take Him by surprise. With every…
The Certainty of God’s Blessing
In Numbers 22-24, Balak comes to Balaam and asks him to curse Israel. Three times Balak comes to Balaam. And each time, Balaam blesses Israel rather than curses them. Balak was not happy. The thing is, Balaam had let Balak know upfront that he could only say what the Lord told him to say. Balak…

The Israelites complained all through the desert wilderness where God led them after they had spied out the Promised Land, the land God had said was theirs, the land they had left Egypt for. The Promised Land was an amazing, beautiful, rich land, but the Israelites didn’t trust the Lord that He was able to…
To Be in The House of The Lord
But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, at Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You. O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes…. (Psalm 5:7-8) It’s the place I want to be, the house of the Lord (Psalm 5:7). I want to be…
At The Command of The Lord
At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they set out; they kept the Lord’s charge, according to the command of the Lord through Moses (Numbers 9:23). At the command of the Lord. That phrase grabbed me as I read this verse. We, as Christians, move at the…
A Sacrifice of Righteousness
I am a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). I lay down my life. I lose it. That’s a sacrifice of righteousness. Everything I am and all my hopes and dreams in this world, I lay down at the feet of Jesus. God created this world, so any of my hopes and dreams and plans for the…
The Lord, Our Shield
But You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head (Psalm 3:3). The Lord is my shield, my covering, my protection, no matter what comes my way. He is that for us, His children and bride. Whether it’s people or false accusers, He is our shield. Whether it’s…
