Psalm 25 Today we aim to try something different, let us review the words of Psalm 25, read them throughout the day as a prayer to God. Find peace in the words that were written. In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on…

Praying for Boldness Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 2 Corinthians 3:12 Boldness tends to get a connotation of being a trait that is exhibited by those in society that are labeled “extroverts”, but is it really? I think back to the story of Moses, who in all accounts was an introvert, and how he reacted to God’s calling to him: Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in…

Love over Knowledge and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19 At times in our lives we are filled with more knowledge than we can hold. We see the fleetingness of amassing knowledge as we fight a loosing battle to retain it all. Love though is something that can be easily obtained and retained, if we shift our focus of our mindset not on collecting knowledge,…

LEarning to Sing Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song,his praise in the assembly of his faithful people Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;let the people of Zion be glad in their King. Psalm 149:1-2 Did you KNow? Zebra finches are teaching scientists about how humans learn to sing. Like human babies, new finches start out babbling.

Classic C.S. Lewis Devotional There is, perhaps, more social conscience than there was ever been before: and though chastity in conduct is probably low I think modern young people are perhaps less prurient and less obsessed with lascivious thought than more modest and decorous ages have been. (This is only an impression, and may be mistaken.) I also think that the very fact of our isolation, the fact that we are coming to be almost the only people who appeal…

Preoccupied . . . in a Good Way Originally Posted on Harvest.org, View original post here For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:14 I’m adopted. A man named Oscar Laurie, one of my mother’s husbands, adopted me and treated me as his son. That is where I got my last name. He’s in Heaven now, and I still feel a great love for him. In the same way, God chose us…

Have All of God You Want Originally posted on Love Worth Finding, view original post here Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless. Ecclesiastes 5:10 We live in a day that confuses luxuries and necessities. Material things can never bring contentment, for they can never satisfy the deepest need of your heart. Either you can’t get enough of them, or when you get them, you find out they…

Setting Expectations We’re all guilty of setting expectations too high and find ourselves falling short, making a promise that we know we’re going to be unable to keep, or exaggerating our abilities knowing full and well that we are ill equipped to live up to. We also find ourselves “swearing” on things that we hold near and dear to our hearts. Part of this is our nature, part of this is also that we forget what Jesus said about oaths/promises:…
