My Desire Is to Know God’s Purpose

I’ve been listening to Jeremy Camp in my car this past week, and one song in particular spoke to me. “My Desire” expresses how I feel about my life and my God. I want my life to be real. I want to set aside all...

Psalm 25 – Of Mercy and Humility

Since I’ve been thinking a lot about mercy and humility lately, I decided to do a Biblegateway search for a Psalm about this topic to post today. Not surprisingly, my search for “humble” in the Psalms returned a number of verses. I settled on Psalm 25...

Psalm 123 – Humbly Relying on God

To determine what Psalm to post this week, I decided to actually open up my NIV Study Bible and read a few until one seemed right. I settled on Psalm 123 because it fit with the ideas of humility and reliance on God that I have been pondering...

Today is my birthday, and so I decided to do a Biblegateway.com search of the Psalms for one that talks about God being our hope from childhood. I found Psalm 71, and have posted the first nine verses of it. With this Psalm, I do...

Psalm 78 – Teaching Our Descendants

 Okay, so this is going to sound kind of strange, but here is how I decided what Psalm to post today. As I was driving back from the frame shop with my son, we passed a number 78 bus. The number 78 just jumped out...

Psalm 127 – All Is In Vain Without God

So many people live their lives without giving God a second thought. They work, they play, they eat, they build, they buy and sell, all without ever thinking about their Creator. There are even those who deny that our Creator even exists. I love this...

Psalm 113 – Praise the Lord for Mothers

Today is Mothers’ Day. The gift of motherhood is one of the greatest God can give to a woman, and the gift of a mother is one of the greatest gifts God has given to children. The love of a mother for her child is rivaled...

Psalm 64 – A Prayer for Protection

To decide which Psalm to post today, I asked my son to pick a number between 1 and 150. He picked 64. I don’t think he knows a single Psalm by number so this was truly a random choice. I was not surprised, however, to...

Psalm 22 – The Rest of the Story

For Easter, I thought it would be appropriate to post the rest of Psalm 22, the rest of the story. After the crucifixion, God did not turn His back on Jesus but listened to His cries for help. He was raised from the dead. As...

Psalm 118 – Blessed Is the Lord

Today is Palm Sunday, the day we celebrate the Triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem less than a week before His trial and crucifixion. So it seemed appropriate to post a portion of Psalm 118. Verse 26 is what the people shouted as Jesus entered...
