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.

Psalm 22 – Daily Bread from the Psalms
Daily Bread: Thoughts and Prayers from the Psalms ~ Psalm 22 ~ Did you read Psalm 21 yesterday? Yep. What a change in tone! Same David, totally different day. Do you ever feel like you’re riding a rollercoaster with the LORD? One day praising Him and rejoicing from the highest mountain top, and the very next day crying out from a deep pit, and wondering where He’s gone? Do you ever wonder if He UNDERSTANDS what you’re going through? There are a couple of things I’ve been learning from David. First, life is made up of BOTH of these kinds of days. I should expect it. You should expect…
