Hear my cry, O God (Psalm 61:1). I know God hears me. His word promises me that He hears everything. But I don’t always feel like He hears me. I call and cry out. And wait. How long, Lord? I see the appearance of an answer, but then it fades away. I call and cry…

Fear, Trust, and Going Forward
In God, I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. (Ps. 56:11 NASB) Today, I will not be afraid, I have put my trust in the Lord. Or so I have said. My mind insists on it, but my heart often rebels before I can rein it in and remind it that He…
God Reigns: How Do I Respond?
I know God reigns. He reigns over all, the heavens, the earth, and me. I can harden my heart and rage against Him, or I can worship Him with reverence and praise Him with trembling. What will I do? I long for the Lord, and I long for His ways. My only choice is to…
Who Reigns In My Life?
Psalm 2 starts out with the rulers of the nations raging against God. They don’t want His rule. They don’t want to be restrained by God. They want to “…cast away their [the Lord’s and His Anointed’s] cords…” (Psalm 2:2). They don’t want God’s ways. And they don’t want to submit to the Lord. (Psalm…

Marci never misses a socialization opportunity. Normally, they visit…
It’s What He Does
For Thou, O Lord, hast made me glad by what Thou hast done, I will sing for joy at the works of Thy hands (Psalm 92:4 NASB). You have done amazing things because it’s what You do. It’s who You are. You have done amazing things in me because it’s what You do. It’s who…
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…
Better Than Life
The God of all creation is my God. I will rest in Him. Lord, You have created everything. The heavens, the earth, all that is in it. There is none like You. My day is full. Worries bombard me from every side. It seems there is no end in sight. But You are my refuge.…
