Psalm 107 Daily Bread
“Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.” ~Psalm 107:43 Just a few thoughts I had this morning… I hope this encourages someone else as much as the Lord has encouraged me! There is SO much grace waiting for us that we leave “on the table”. Our Father has the most beautiful table we can imagine (more than we can imagine actually!) set and waiting for us, and a seat there right beside His. His table isn’t just for special times like holidays and banquet feasts. It’s not just for Sunday dinners with family and friends, or even Saturday morning pancake…

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…

Daily Bread from the Psalms (Psalm 14)
Daily Bread from the Psalms -Psalm 14- What would it be like to walk through all the ups and downs of life without God? Do you remember a time when you tried? If you’ve been a believer for awhile, you will understand how different your life is since you met Jesus. Hopeful. Peaceful. Joyful. And none of which depend on your circumstances. Maybe you’ve found yourself reading this post today, and wondering about the existence of God at all. Come and meet Him. He’s more real than anything you’ve experienced before. He loves you. He cares. He moves. If you don’t know Him, my heart reaches out to you…
