Change and Praising God
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised (Psalm 48:1). No matter what, God is great. He is to be praised. No matter what. No matter the circumstance. No matter what comes our way. Nothing takes Him by surprise. None of my present circumstances and none of yours take Him by surprise. With every…
The Certainty of God’s Blessing
In Numbers 22-24, Balak comes to Balaam and asks him to curse Israel. Three times Balak comes to Balaam. And each time, Balaam blesses Israel rather than curses them. Balak was not happy. The thing is, Balaam had let Balak know upfront that he could only say what the Lord told him to say. Balak…
In The Wilderness
The Israelites complained all through the desert wilderness where God led them after they had spied out the Promised Land, the land God had said was theirs, the land they had left Egypt for. The Promised Land was an amazing, beautiful, rich land, but the Israelites didn’t trust the Lord that He was able to…
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…
The Lord, Our Shield
But You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head (Psalm 3:3). The Lord is my shield, my covering, my protection, no matter what comes my way. He is that for us, His children and bride. Whether it’s people or false accusers, He is our shield. Whether it’s…
What Is My Delight?
How blessed is the man…[whose] delight is in the law of the Lord (Psalm 1:1-2). Let me delight in You, Lord. There’s so little in this world that offers lasting pleasure. But You, Lord, remain. For a little while hobbies or activities or entertainment bring happy times and moments, but they don’t last. Eventually, boredom,…
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 Doesn’t Make Mistakes
When the road gets long, or hard, or just plain strange, it’s easy to wonder how in the world we got where we are, or if we should be in this place at all. But God is the one who directs our steps, and God doesn’t make mistakes (Proverbs 16:9; Psalm 37:23-24). I pray that…
