In the Night Seasons
NOTHING comforts me like a Word from my Abba. “I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also … Read More
The Divine Shift
Take a moment and read Psalm 57. My “title” for Psalm 57 would be “The Divine Shift“. All mixed in together in this Psalm were David’s circumstances (lions who devour, mean hurtful words, traps, pits dug for him); David’s cry to God Most High in whom He chooses to take refuge; and his acknowledgment that God accomplishes great things for … Read More
My Salvation and My Honor Depend on God
“My salvation and my honor depend on God…” ~~Psalm 62:7 ~~ So this morning I was doing Day 2 on the Trusting God topical study. I was to read Psalm 62.

That probably … Read More
Psalm 51:1
I’ve been reading the Scriptures chronologically. As I read Psalm 51, my intention was to just write down any phrases that popped off the page to me and dig into them. Well, I didn’t get very far before the Spirit stopped me. Verse one reads… “Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness; According to the greatness of … Read More
Sunshine and Snowflakes
I was sitting at my kitchen table ready to dive into God’s Word, when He decided to use sunshine and snowflakes to teach me a lesson about myself and my purpose. Two main things popped into my mind. Every snowflake is UNIQUELY DESIGNED by God, and so am I. “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in … Read More

You’ll Never Hit What You Aren’t Aiming For
I was reading Psalm 107 this morning. As I began my word-study in verse one, I began to see some really cool truths. “Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His mercy is everlasting.” ~~Psalm 107:1~~ “Give thanks” is imperative (it’s a command, not a suggestion), and it means, literally, to use (i.e. hold out) the hand; … Read More
