Jesus, this one thing I seek to do…May I love others as you have loved me. Break my heart for your people…may I see them as you see them. May I be you today. Amen “This is My commandment, that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another, just as I have loved you.”…

Walking Through Psalms: Focus
When my glasses become smudged, I’m forced to read words through a haze. Many times I’ve taken them off my nose and used my shirt to wipe away the haze; however, it only creates a greater murkiness in which to navigate the letters upon the page. This is frustrating. Why doesn’t the shirt work? Shirts are…
Be On The Lookout
Psalms 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. This morning I was reading my little devotional (Jesus Calling) and one sentence seemed to jump off the page and speak to me in a personal way. It said, “Be on…
You Can’t Fix Everything
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. This verse became ever apparent to me, some 28 plus years ago. My first-born lay in an incubator attached to all sorts of life saving apparatuses. She was a preemie baby. I had stayed diligently by her…
Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. (Sarah Young) Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. (Psalms 95:2) Corinne and I were blessed to be able to go to Newport, Rhode Island last weekend. The weather was perfect,…
More Than a Feeling
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalms 11:3 True faith is more than a feeling. Our feelings change but the foundation of our faith never changes. That’s not to say we can’t change our opinions, of course we can. I once believed drinking alcohol in any fashion was sin, but I no longer hold…
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…
How Majestic is Your Name
Psalms 8 In song… O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. When I consider Your…
Knowing The Enemy
Psalms 7:1-2 O Lord my God, in You I take refuge; Save me and rescue me from all those who pursue me, So that my enemy will not tear me like a lion, Dragging me away while there is no one to rescue [me]. In any battle it is advantageous to know your enemy. In…
Renewed Spirit
“…but establish the righteous; for You, Who try the hearts and emotions and thinking powers, are a righteous God.” (Psalms 7:9) My emotions are fickle. One day I’m confident and then the next I’m doubtful. One moment I’m in love and the next I’m angry. Sometimes I’m on the verge of tears for no reason…
