Psalm 63:1 A Psalm of David, [fn] when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; I shall seek You [fn] earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh [fn] yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. This should actually read: A Psalm…

Wilderness
Numbers 20:5 and why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place? no place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and water there is none to drink. I think it’s a little crazy how often the Israelites forget why they’re wandering in the wilderness. Okay,…
The Woodcutter's Wisdom
This is from a weekly devotional I get. It came this morning… The Woodcutter’s Wisdom by Max Lucado Once there was an old man who lived in a tiny village. Although poor, he was envied by all, for he owned a beautiful white horse. Even the king coveted his treasure. A horse like this had…
Just Breathe… Believe… You Are Holy, Lord
This is a morning where I am feeling a lot overwhelmed. My husband found out yesterday that he was let go by his company. Although it’s a bit of a shock, it’s not completely unexpected, especially in light of the new health care requirements. Faced with providing benefits for him and others in his position,…
I Can't Get No Satisfaction
Psalm 104:28 When you supply it, they gather it. You open your hand to feed them, and they are satisfied. In this Psalm, the writer (who isn’t David) is speaking about the creatures that God has made and how they are in awe of the Lord their Creator. The thing that caught my eye was…

Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others Right now I’m holding onto this verse and others like it.

Contentment, Again
Ecclesiastes 1: 8 Everything is so weary and tiresome! No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content. I was listening to the radio (Z88.3) and there was a clip by Joyce Meyer (I think). I didn’t really catch what the clip was about,…
Given
Daniel 1: 17 God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for understanding every aspect of literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams. Daniel wasn’t born with the ability to interpret dreams. He was given this gift when he needed it, when he…
He Knows Before I Ask
I need to preface the verses today with a small comment: I woke up this morning struggling not to worry about our finances this next school year. I found out that we won’t be getting our annual cost-of-living raise (no surprise there), but they would be increasing our insurance rates, again. As it is, we…
Parched
Isaiah 41: 9-10, 13, 16b, 17For I have chosen you and will not throw you away. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand… I am holding you by…
