Psalm 30 – Daily Bread from the Psalms
Daily Bread: Thoughts & Prayers from the Psalms ~ Psalm 30 ~ Don’t let your heart be silent. Wait. It’s true. I did once write a whole post with the title “Keeping a Quiet Heart“. It sounds like a contradiction, but it’s not at all. There’s a difference between ‘silence’ and ‘quiet’. A quiet heart is a good thing. It’s praising God even when the walls are crashing down around you, and also when the times are easy and full of blessings! A quiet heart chooses faith, and discards fear. A quiet heart talks to God. A silent heart, however, is not a good thing. A silent heart forgets…

Psalm 29 – Daily Bread from the Psalms
Daily Bread: Thoughts & Prayers from the Psalms ~ Psalm 29 ~ “The LORD blesses His People with peace.” Read or Listen to Psalm 29. Have you ever wondered what the Psalms must have sounded like being sung by the voices of His People, who are also our people, so long ago? You can listen to this beautiful piece of Psalm 29 sung in Hebrew or this version “Havu l’Adonai” Psalm 29 (in Hebrew)! And THOUSANDS of years later His people are still singing these precious words! I bet most of you can still sing the songs that you heard as a child. It’s almost supernatural the way that…

Psalm 28 – Daily Bread from the Psalms
Daily Bread: Thoughts & Prayers from the Psalms ~ Psalm 28 ~ Reliance. It’s a word that is somewhat disdained these days. We are taught to be self reliant. Self sufficient. Dependent on, or in need of no one. Yet is that what God’s word really teaches? Not at all actually! Does that surprise you? In Psalm 28, David realizes his desperate RELIANCE on the LORD! He understands and confesses his utter need for the LORD’s mercy, His intervention, His love, His guidance, His presence… and even for His vengeance! Yikes! Maybe this part of reliance isn’t too hard for us to accept. But the Word also exhorts us…

Psalm 27 – Daily Bread from the Psalms
Daily Bread: Thoughts & Prayers from the Psalms ~ Psalm 27 ~ Why are things so much scarier in the dark? A few nights ago I was up in the middle of the night feeding my newest, precious grandbaby. All of a sudden there was a terrible crash. My husband (who usually sleeps through EVERYTHING), came bolting out of the bedroom to make sure we were alright. He looked outside, in the garage, and even in our closets trying to figure out what had happened. He didn’t find a thing. It was a mystery, and though we were all fine, it felt really unsettling. If this had happened in the…

Psalm 26 – Daily Bread from the Psalms
Daily Bread: Thoughts & Prayers from the Psalms ~ Psalm 26 ~ Have you ever read a Scripture that just rubs you the wrong way? PLEASE don’t say I’m the only one this happens to. Hoping I’m not, I’ll continue typing 😀 I’m not meaning to be blasphemous in any way, just honest. Ok. Here goes… When I read the Bible, I usually just read slowly and wait to see what pops out, or what strikes a chord in my heart. So when I read Psalm 26 through the first time this morning, the thing that stood out loud and proud, was David’s confession of his super righteous living. And… it…
