Jesus says His Father in heaven knows my needs. He says He’s my provider. If He’s my provider and He’s my supplier, then who’s responsible for meeting my needs? Him or me? If He’s my everything, if He says one thing is needful and that’s Him, then what about my physical needs on this earth?…

The Road that Leads to Life
The Lord does it all. Unless the Lord builds…unless the Lord guards (Psalm 127:1 NASB). The Lord builds me up and He guards me. He builds me from the inside out. He leads me and makes the path before me. Sometimes I want to build my own house, to go my own way, or simply…
Keep Fighting
He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him (Psalm 126:6). Is this scripture talking about Jesus, or me, or both? Jesus sowed in tears. He had a lot of good days but He also had a lot…
The Lord, My Master
To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He is gracious to us.…
Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.” Psalm 122:6-7 I do pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but I don’t know how to write about it for a blog. It’s such a political issue, and tensions and opinions soar.…
When There’s Nothing Left
He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber (Psalm 121: NASB). I am struggling today. I’m looking up, seeking help from You, crying out to You. Hearing nothing. Getting no answers. I sort of sense You here with me, but sort of feel a bit in the dark.…
At All Times, Rest and Love
There are so many distractions swirling around me. There are so many things I want to do. There are so many things I need to do. So many things others want me to do, need me to do. What do You want me to do, Lord? My list, my ideas, my thoughts seem never-ending. What…
Today, I Live
His lovingkindness is everlasting. It never ends. He answers me and is for me. The Lord answers me and is for me. You answer me and are for me. You help me and are my refuge. I can rest in You. My trust is placed in You. You are my strength. You are my song.…
Praise, Love, and Everlasting Truth
Psalm 117 is short and sweet. And it’s all in there. Praise the Lord. It’s everywhere in the Bible to praise Him. It’s a foundation. We praise Him because He’s worthy of praise. We praise Him, and all creation praises Him. It’s in our nature to praise something, someone. It only makes sense to praise…
My Help, My Shield
The Lord is the help and shield of Israel, His chosen (Psalm 115:9). I’m chosen by God too (1 Peter 2:9). So that’s me. He’s my help and shield. The Lord is the help and shield of the house of Aaron, the priests (Psalm 115:10). I am of a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). So…
