Psalm 18: 24 Therefore, the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes. There are a few Old Testament prophets who have New Testament eyes and spirits. David and Isaiah are chief among these. David wrote most of the psalms and he wrote this one […]
Psalm 107: 6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses. I love this passage of scripture. Talk about good news. It is pretty simply, theologically.

1 Kings 3: 5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, “Ask what you wish me to give you.” Wouldn’t we all like for God to appear to us with the promise to grant whatever we wish? That is what happened to Solomon. As you probably know, […]
