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…

God’s Presence in Our Lives Part 2
After my last post, I have to ask, are you knowing God’s presence? Or are you feeling it? Either way, God is present. I know this to be true, but still, after I hit publish last time, my thoughts continued dwelling on so many questions about God’s presence in our lives. Is there a difference…
God’s Presence in Our Lives
Sometimes, the presence of the Lord is palpable. God’s presence in our lives is unmistakable. Sometimes, the emotions are overwhelming and the feelings so incredible. And then there are days when feelings are dry and the knowledge of God’s presence is completely by faith, prayer for God’s presence desperate. On these days, I know God…
God’s Word, My Light
My soul languishes for Your salvation: I wait for Thy word (Psalm 119:81).Forever, Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven (v. 89)…For Thou Thyself has taught me (v. 102)Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path (v. 105). His word is a light to my path. May God shed…
Worshiping In Spirit and Truth

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.…
He Will Fight For Me
I have no fight in me. Jesus, I need You to fight for me. You are my sword. Fight for me. And here we are again. Shout joyfully to the Lord (Psalm 100:1). Serve the Lord with gladness (Psalm 100:2). He’s in charge. He’s in control. He’s got everything covered. I can shout joyfully because…
My Need, Right Now
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…
Go Forward
I feel so blank today. My heart is so overwhelmed that I can’t put words to it. There’s so much to do and I feel like I just need to do each thing, check it off my list, praise the Lord, and not concern myself with emotions today. Go forward in all you do. Some…
