One thing I ask. One thing I seek. That I may dwell in Your house, Oh Lord (Psalm 27:4). It’s what I need. It’s where You are and where I am at peace, at rest. There are so many distractions. Circumstances, my thoughts, what I see around me. All fades as I dwell in the…

God Has Brought Me Here
God is faithful. I know it. I preach it. I proclaim it. I know He directs my steps, so I know He’s led me here, to this place, to this time. I know that if He has led me, then He has a purpose. He has a good reason for bringing me to this spot…
My Soul Longs For the Lord
I lift up my voice. My soul longs for You, Lord. My soul longs for You. I walk in this world on the path You have laid, on this path made for me. I walk step by step, seeking Your ways, to walk as You walked, by faith and in love. And I lift up…
Hemmed In
Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me (Psalm 139:5 NASB). The Lord has hemmed me in. To some, I think, this is a stifling thought, that God has enclosed them. To me, it’s a comfort. It’s freedom. It’s peace. It’s God’s love. God spoke that word to me once,…
Answers, Thankfulness, Trust, and Fears
I’m so used to crying out in my trials that when the Lord answers and relieves them or a portion of them, I’m not sure how to respond. Yes, I’m happy, often excited. I praise the Lord. I thank my God. Then I come before Him to fellowship and spend time with Him one on…
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.…
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…
We’re All Different
We’re all different. Some weird, some normal, some well-liked, some disliked. Just all different. All trying to do it right and be accepted, be in the in-crowd wherever we find ourselves. But we’re all different and unique. Who can say why one person can tell a joke and everyone laughs, says he or she is…
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.…
