Today’s Scripture: Psalm 142:1, NIV- “A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.” The term maskil required a quick search for meaning this morning. Most biblical commentaries agree that this is a musical term for a song of instruction. So I am approaching this Psalm to ... Continue Reading »
Thank You LORD for listening to us and hearing us.
Today’s Scripture: Malachi 3:16, NKJV- “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.” When we know the LORD is listening and hearing our conversations do we speak more carefully?

I am following that which is good.
Today’s Scripture: 3 John 1:11, KJV- “Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good.

Ephesians 6:12, NIV, puts it this way- “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual ...

I pray with joy
Today’s Scripture: Philippians 1:4 ESV: always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, Paul’s heart was revealed in his honest introduction to those in the church at Philippi. What our hearts say is more important than our mouths. We can read between the heartbeats and the lines. “I thank MY God” in the previous verse ... Continue Reading »
I have the privilege of trusting in Christ
Today’s Scripture: Philippians 1:29 NLT: For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.
