Psalm 117 “Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you people. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.

The Pancake Flip of Faith
Psalm 112:7 “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting the Lord.” You know the friends you have who are constantly looking for bad news? Those people who seem to seek out the bad and say, “I told you so! This was going to happen!” Sometimes they are right, but

Before It Breaks

Delivered from the Trap
Psalm 91:2-3 “I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper, and from the deadly pestilence.” In today’s world, we usually don’t set snares and go out to hunt for a meal. In Bible

One Day in His Courts
Psalm 84:10 “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.” If I said “Disney trip!” my whole family would instantly go back to February 2007 in Florida. That was such a special

The View from the Driver’s Seat
Psalm 73:16-17 16 So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is!17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.
