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,…

God Never Ends
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting (Psalm 136:1 NASB). God’s love never ends. God’s love lasts forever. Forever is a long time. When I was in college, in Math for Teachers, we were discussing infinity and how to explain the concept. How could we show the abstract…
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?…
Praise, Love, and Everlasting Truth
Psalm 117 is short and sweet. And it’s all in there. Praise the Lord. It’s everywhere in the Bible to praise Him. It’s a foundation. We praise Him because He’s worthy of praise. We praise Him, and all creation praises Him. It’s in our nature to praise something, someone. It only makes sense to praise…
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…
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…
The Most High God
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name (Ps. 103:1 NASB). Let all that is within me proclaim that You alone are the Most High over all the earth (Ps. 83:18). When terrors come my way, let me remember You always. The only wise God (Ro. 16:27).…
Know No Limits: Why I Can Do All Things
God is big. Really, really big. He is to be praised. He is to be feared. Lord, You are able to do all things. I know this in my head. But when You call me to do something I am not able to do, I’m quick to tell You I can’t do it. I suppose…
God Fought For Me
You are my king from of old (Psalm 74:12). You redeemed me. Back when I only knew stories about You, back when I wanted my way, not Yours, You reached down. You sought me out. I was intrigued, but not sure. I was tempted to right, but still too curious about the ways of the…
