My son, if your heart is wise, my own heart also will be glad (Proverbs 23:15 NASB). The one thing I want for my kids is that they know Jesus. I’ve said it from before they were born. They can do or be whatever they want, I don’t care, just as long as they know…

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…
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 Help, My Shield
The Lord is the help and shield of Israel, His chosen (Psalm 115:9). I’m chosen by God too (1 Peter 2:9). So that’s me. He’s my help and shield. The Lord is the help and shield of the house of Aaron, the priests (Psalm 115:10). I am of a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). So…
A Prayer from Dust
…He is mindful that we are but dust (Psalm 103:14 NASB). But it sure doesn’t feel like it sometimes. God directs my steps and designs my days, and He allows calamity. And I know He uses all things to form me and make me into His image more and more. He uses the good things…
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…
Good Changes and Fear
Why is it that I get some strong desire, pray over it, the doors open, I even hear You say yes, this is what You have for me, and then when the moment of fruition comes, I suddenly don’t want it anymore? Not only do I not want it, but I’m sure it’s a bad…
The Lord, My Deliverer
You, Lord, are my deliverer. You deliver me out of all calamity. You deliver me out of all troubles and trials. I know there are seasons. I know there are ups and downs. I know that You alone remain through it all. And You know I wonder, how long will this last, Lord? How will…
My Need, Right Now
Now is the time. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, but right now. Now is the time to praise You. Now is the time I need You. I cry out to You, Lord, and call on You. My needs are great. There is nowhere else for me to go, no one else for me to seek. There…
