The Word of the Lord stands forever. And the Lord stands in my midst. He is the Good Shepherd, shepherding me, shepherding His people, shepherding all who come to the waters, the living waters to drink. The Lord is a strong tower and is mighty. He fights for His own. He fights for us, all…

Remember and Know
“My people, remember…in order that you might know the righteous acts of the Lord.” Micah 6:5 He’s speaking here of Balak and Balaam, when Balak wanted Balaam to curse the Israelites and God stepped in, convicted Balaam, gave language to a donkey, and instead caused Balaam to bless the Israelites. (Numbers 22) God gave a…
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…
The Lord is There

“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…
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…
Feelings, Circumstances, and God’s Faithfulness
“And you shall be My people, and I will be your God (Jeremiah 30:22).” I know the Lord is with me. I know my God is faithful. It doesn’t matter if I feel it. It doesn’t matter what kind of season I’m in. God is faithful. And that’s a matter of faith. Faith is not…
Assisted Living – A Short Story
She unfolded herself from the Focus, stood beside it, and stretched. He was already at the cart corral, yanking two carts apart. She smiled and shook her head. The carts didn’t stand a chance. He came back triumphant. “Ready?” she asked. “Yup!” He took off, skipping as he pushed. She tightened her abs and followed…
