Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. (Psalm 96:1-2) When all else fails, sing. Sing to the Lord. Nothing may make sense. Sing. Everything may be going wrong. Sing. Everything may…

Rest For My Soul
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:29).” That’s all I want. Rest for my soul. That’s it. No striving or straining to get it right, to figure it out. Just rest. Rest for my soul.…
The Lord is Coming
So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; and He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth. Hosea 6:3 The Lord is coming. He will answer. Do not stop seeking Him. Press in and do…
God is Able
“…We do not need to give you an answer concerning this. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O King. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O…
God is Good
God is good. I need to live and choose joy. I need to glorify His Name. There are hard days and there are easy days, good days and bad days, but that doesn’t change that my God is good. My God is on His throne. My God doesn’t change. My God’s word is good. God…

This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). Sometimes, this is all I need: to rejoice in the Lord. The day is His. My concerns are His. My needs are His. Today, it’s all about rejoicing. Rejoice in the Lord. It may be a…
Eyes To See
I pray all the time for eyes to see and ears to hear. Jesus said, “while seeing, they do not see, while hearing they do not hear (Matthew 13:13).” I want to see and I want to hear. I want to understand what my Lord has to say. I want to understand what He has…
Seasons of Chastening
“I am the one who has seen affliction because of the rod of His wrath. He has driven me and made me walk in darkness and not in light.” (Lamentations 3:1-2) There are seasons of trial, seasons of chastening. We like to talk about blessings and good things and joy. And these are all true…
What’s In My Heart?
God calls me to declare blessings, but so much of my words are complaints. So much of what I say are judgments. Yet I desire to speak words of life. Who can tame the tongue (James 3:8)? That’s a good question. And out of the heart the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45). So what, exactly is…
Why I Get Quiet With the Lord
I know You’re with me always, whether I’m sitting quietly at Your feet, or running around super busy, or my attention is on the day ahead. And in all those circumstances, I can hear You. And I have heard You. Sometimes, You’ve broken in to my most distracted moments and made Yourself known. If You…
