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…

God Reigns: How Do I Respond?
I know God reigns. He reigns over all, the heavens, the earth, and me. I can harden my heart and rage against Him, or I can worship Him with reverence and praise Him with trembling. What will I do? I long for the Lord, and I long for His ways. My only choice is to…
Worthy of Praise
The Lord is worthy of praise. He is worthy of praise no matter my circumstance, no matter my busyness or overwhelm, no matter my mood. He is worthy of praise. He is worthy of my praise. He is first. That’s my God. He is the One who created the heavens and the earth. He is…
Power of Praise
It’s not my job to figure things out. It’s my job to praise and give glory and proclaim that God is God. How many times I’ve said that God is God and I’m not, yet I keep trying to step into His shoes. His ways are not my ways, yet I keep trying to figure…
Sing to the Lord
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. (Psalm 96:1-2) When all else fails, sing. Sing to the Lord. Nothing may make sense. Sing. Everything may be going wrong. Sing. Everything may…

Waiting
O Lord, be gracious to us, we have waited for Thee (Isaiah 33:2). Waiting is hard. Any way you look at it. I’ve waited for ten babies, through ten pregnancies. And through each, I knew what I was waiting for. A baby. And sure enough, a baby was born each time. No surprise there. Yet…
Waiting and Praising
I’m a little frustrated right now. Frustrated with waiting. It’s hard to praise the Lord in a season of waiting, yet that’s all there is to do right now. And it’s hard to connect with Him when I can’t get my mind off the wondering how this season will end. I’m waiting for one thing…
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…
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…
