Exodus 16:3 The people of Isra’el said to [Moshe and Aharon], “We wish ADONAI had used his own hand to kill us off in Egypt! There we used to sit around the pots with the meat boiling, and we had as much food as we wanted. But you have taken us out into this desert…
Psalm 91:2 I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Trust. That’s a tough word, I think. It’s easy to say I trust God, but sometimes I certainly don’t act like it. The word used here is “batach” and it means to be bold, to be…
So do not fear for I am with you, Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. It’s funny how a song sticks with me. This one is a verse and a song and this morning it’s running…
Commit your way to YHWH, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 (Hebrew text) Today’s post by Skip Moen really struck a chord, so I’m directing this post to that one. If you read my response to the post (below), you’ll see why. It’ll make more sense if you…
This morning I am reminded to live what I speak – that God is holy and faithful. I’m in the middle of transitioning from one job (from which I just resigned) to another (where I have the signed offer, but much of the paperwork has yet to be finished), and things have just seemed to…
Numbers 19:6: “And the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer. And I was curious what the scarlet yarn was, probably from my experiences with Campus Crusade growing up and The Scarlet Thread. So I began to hunt. I check the Hebrew, but it…
Some days I feel like that’s so true. No matter what I do to make something turn out the way I hope it will, ultimately my plans are foiled. It seems like lately I’ve been learning that no matter how hard I try, it’s not enough. Or at least it doesn’t seem to be enough….
Psalm 28:7 (HNV) The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him. I found a new version of the Bible on the Blue Letter Bible that I use when I read online. It’s called…
Psalm 31:3 You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of your name, lead me out of this peril. Psalm 61:2a From the ends of the earth, I will cry to you for help, for my heart is overwhelmed. Psalm 91:5-6 Do not be afraid of … the disaster that strikes at midday….
Psalm 56:4, 9 O God, I praise your word. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? … On the very day I call to you for help, my enemies will retreat. This I know: God is on my side. Today I’m feeling a little overwhelmed…
