Personal, Private, Sacred Space – 07.03.2023
The Book of Psalms is altogether different from the other scripture. In the Psalms, you are allowed into the inner sanctuary of man’s soul, his Holy Place. It is his personal, private, sacred space where thoughts are generated and feelings are exposed. This is the writer’s secret dwelling, yet the Holy Spirit has allowed us … Continue reading Personal, Private, Sacred Space – 07.03.2023

In My Distress – 01.11.2023
“In my distress I cried unto God.” (Psalm 18). Ever been there? “He abideth faithful,” Paul said to Timothy. He cannot, will not, make a promise and not keep His word.

God Takes Notice Of Our Tears -09.01.2022
We were reading recently how the Roman women would keep their tears in a bottle, shed at the funeral of a family member. The practice may seem strange, but as recently as the Civil War, the women whose husbands had gone into battle would keep their tears in a bottle. David, several centuries before the … Continue reading God Takes Notice Of Our Tears -09.01.2022

We desperately need wisdom in knowing how to approach God. If you were going for a meeting with the governor, you would not wear a pair of dirty overalls, or farm shoes where you had just walked through the mud, etc. You would present yourself as a person of character. Let it be so with … Continue reading Approaching The Throne – 08.05.2022

But on the tenth … Continue reading Stored Up Then Poured Out – 9.25.2021
Ask… Seek… Knock! – 7.31.2021
Isaiah was writing to a people, who for the most part, were backslidden and defying their God. It was his sad job to warn Israel of coming judgement for their sins. But God being merciful, spoke to them of a better day, a day when they would return to Him with their whole heart. God … Continue reading Ask… Seek… Knock! – 7.31.2021
