God can do whatever He wants. Whatever He pleases, He does (Psalm 135:6). Sometimes I have to remind myself of this. Sometimes, I don’t like what He’s doing. Sometimes, character building is hard and painful. Sometimes, trusting God is the last thing I want to do. Sometimes, I want Him to step in and stop…

My Needs, His Faithfulness
Jesus says His Father in heaven knows my needs. He says He’s my provider. If He’s my provider and He’s my supplier, then who’s responsible for meeting my needs? Him or me? If He’s my everything, if He says one thing is needful and that’s Him, then what about my physical needs on this earth?…
The Road that Leads to Life
The Lord does it all. Unless the Lord builds…unless the Lord guards (Psalm 127:1 NASB). The Lord builds me up and He guards me. He builds me from the inside out. He leads me and makes the path before me. Sometimes I want to build my own house, to go my own way, or simply…
Keep Fighting
He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him (Psalm 126:6). Is this scripture talking about Jesus, or me, or both? Jesus sowed in tears. He had a lot of good days but He also had a lot…
The Lord, My Master
To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He is gracious to us.…
God Wins Again…and Again…and Again
I find it interesting how many times the history of Israel’s freeing from Egypt is recounted in the Bible. It seems like something I should take note of. Not only the story, necessarily, but also the repetition. It’s told over and over again. God continually reminds Israel of how He got them out of Egypt,…
My Hope in Helplessness
I need to keep my eyes on You, Jesus. You are all good, full of lovingkindness, and just. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice, to You, O Lord, I will sing praises (Psalm 101:1 NASB). There is so much wickedness around me, in this world. I am so overwhelmed by it. When I hear…
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…
The Lord Reigns
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice…(Ps. 97:1). That pretty much says it all. Plain and simple. God reigns. End of story. He’s in charge. He created everything. He’s Lord over everything. And the earth should rejoice. I should rejoice. Again, a simple statement. No wiggle room there. I don’t have to wonder what God…
Shout Joyfully!
O Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; Let us shout joyfully…Let us come…with thanksgiving…For the Lord is a great God. (Psalm 95:1-3 NASB) Just because He’s a great God, we praise and shout joyfully. Just because He’s great. I love this Psalm. There’s nothing complicated here. Nothing I need to figure out.…
