When Life Sucks, Faith Doesn’t Come Easy
I sat down to my computer, wanting to write a more upbeat blog than the last; as the last was kind of depressing. So, I opened my Bible to Psalms chapter 10, since it’s the next chapter in our series entitled, “Walk Through Psalms.” As I read, I began to realize chapter 10 was a…
God Has Something to Say to the Hurting
(Psalms 9/Paraphrased as if from God’s point of view) This morning, as I read Psalms chapter 9, a message began to form in my mind. A message, I believe, to be from God. A message, He wants all the hurting to hear. And so as I pondered over the verses I began to read it as…
