The Day of Trouble

May 11, 2022

Psalm 20: 1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!

Matthew 25: 37 - 40 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You as a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of Mine, you did it for Me.’

The more I focus my mind and words on praise and thanksgiving, the more praise and thanksgiving well up in my heart.

Galatians 5: 24 – 25 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. So many times, when people hear about passion and desire they think of sexual desire. That is a very limited view […]

Stirred, not Shaken

Psalm 46: 1 – 2 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. That is why we are not afraid even when the earth quakes or the mountains topple into the depths of the sea. Imagine, for a moment, standing on a bluff. Beneath your feet you feel the earth […]

Trusting Heart

December 13, 2018

Psalm 28: 6 – 7 God’s Word Thank the Lord! He has heard my prayer for mercy! The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusted him, so I received help. My heart is triumphant; I give thanks to him with my song. These two […]
