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.…

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…
A Holy Life
What does it mean to be holy? It’s a question that’s come my way a lot recently. I’ve always just had it in my mind that it means to be like Jesus. It means to be Godly. It means to be pure. I think those things are certainly accurate. But I feel like, for me,…
Making Mistakes and Following God
I’m going to make mistakes. We all make mistakes. I don’t like making mistakes, and if you’re anything like me, you don’t either. I don’t like the consequences. I don’t like finding out that I hurt someone. It hurts. And truth be told, it’s humiliating. Can you relate? With so many of the mistakes I…
Go To God
God directed Moses and he followed. Moses did what the Lord told him to do. He put God first and walked by faith. He stood firm against Pharaoh. He didn’t compromise. It would’ve been so easy to negotiate, not hold fast to the direction of the Lord, and at least get some quick relief for…
Joy Is A Weapon
Joy is a weapon. The Lord has reminded me of this. Years ago, He spoke it and taught it to me. But He reminded me of it a few days ago by reminding my husband. And I needed the reminder. Joy is a weapon. This is so incredibly important to know and understand as believers.…
Flood of God
Of Noah it was said, this one shall give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the Lord has cursed (Genesis 5:29). Washing of the water. Baptism. Cleansing from sin. Repentance. These all give us rest. We rest from our works when we get cleansed…
My Birthright
Thus Esau despised his birthright (Genesis 25:34). Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of stew. He was hungry. He wanted satisfaction right away. He wanted the here and now. He wanted what he could see. He wanted the physical. He wanted his immediate needs satisfied. He was willing to give up everything. He effectively…
