    Psalm 31 – Daily Bread From the Psalms

    Daily Bread:  Thoughts & Prayersfrom the Psalms ~ Psalm 31 ~   Good morning beautiful family! What stuck out to you in Psalm 31 today? Leave me a comment and lets talk about it! The Family of God is so diverse, and it always amazes me how each unique piece fits together with the others.  Imagine designing a puzzle this large!  Don’t forget, I would LOVE to hear what YOU are seeing in the Psalms each day… I bet your piece and mine put together would make the meaning so much fuller!

    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 24 – Daily Bread from the Psalms

      Daily Bread:  Thoughts & Prayers from the Psalms ~ Psalm 24 ~ “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. “ ~John 1:1-4 Everything rightly belongs to the Lord. That means the whole of the earth. Seas, and lands, and animals, and the skies. And, everyone who has ever lived on this earth belongs to Him as well. Why?  Because we are HIS creation. Who is this One to whom…
