I’ve realized that in trying to push myself to write here everyday, my morning are crazy rushed and I end up stressed out. So, for a bit, things will be kind of hit or miss. Sorry! I’m not really sure anyone actually reads this, so I’m probably just apologizing to myself. Psalm 57:2 I will…
It seems that no matter how badly off my family is, I am always reminded that there are others with less. My family doesn’t have much – financially, that is. We don’t have our own home, we don’t drive fancy new cars (although right now I get to drive my mom’s fancy new car), we…
My desires don’t include a Lamborghini (in fact, I really don’t even know how to spell it – I looked it up), but today they include not being sick (summer cold all weekend – yuck), healing for my son with autism (or perhaps just that he would learn to speak clearly), and enough financial blessing that we…
Psalm 22:1-5 For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God,why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning. O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them. To You…
Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. The last few nights my little Mr. G has had a tough time sleeping. So I’ve been going in and singing to him, praying over him, and telling him Bible verses. The sad thing is that I remember so…
Psalm 119:147 I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word. In Hebrew this verse actually reads something like: I anticipate (go before) the twilight and cry out for help. I await Your word. A couple of thoughts on this: To me, twilight is a peaceful time….
Romans 11:3-4 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I alone am left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” And do you remember God’s reply? He said, “You are not the only one left. I have seven thousand others who have never bowed down to Baal!” There are…
Zechariah 8:6 This is what the LORD Almighty says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small and discouraged remnant of God’s people. But do you think this is impossible for me, the LORD Almighty? I feel a little bit like the remnant sometimes. I feel small and discouraged by the circumstances of…
Zechariah 1:3 Therefore, say to the people, `This is what the LORD Almighty says: Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD Almighty. I liked how this commentary by Chuck Smith puts it: “This basically is God’s message to the people through the ages. “If you’ll turn to Me, I will…
Haggai 1:9 You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the LORD Almighty, while you are all busy building your own fine houses. I read this and immediately thought about my life and finances. We…
