Psalm 32:1-2 Knowing in your mind that you are forgiven is one thing, feeling it in your heart is another. But I once read that forgiveness takes place in the heart of God, not in our feelings. And God says that through faith in Jesus, along with confession and repentance, our sins are forgiven and… Continue reading July 26th – Psalm 32:1-2

July 17th – Psalm 16:11
Psalm 16:11 I once read the quote, “Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and our future is secured.” That was the attitude of David. Because he had complete confidence in the goodness of God, David could know joy both now and in the future to come. And so can… Continue reading July 17th – Psalm 16:11
July 9th – Psalm 32:11
Psalm 32:11 We all know the story of the adulterous woman. The one caught in the act of her sin. This woman could easily be you or I. Although our sin may not be adultery, we sin just the same. And as Christians, we would do well to humbly remember all Jesus forgives us for daily.… Continue reading July 9th – Psalm 32:11
July 8th – Psalm 27:6
Psalm 27:6 I love the quote, “safety comes in our nearness to God, not in our distance from our enemies.” The enemies of David were many. Even those he loved turned against and betrayed him. Have you ever felt like that? Like the whole world was against you? These are divisive times in which we… Continue reading July 8th – Psalm 27:6
July 2nd – Psalm 47:1
Psalm 47:1 John Calvin once said, “No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.” Membership in the family of God has always been by God's choosing. And… Continue reading July 2nd – Psalm 47:1
June 30th – Psalm 5:12
Psalm 5:12 I don’t know about you, but sometimes I wish I could put a protective barricade around those that I love, shielding them from the evils of this world. As Christians we have such a shield; the favor of God. And not a flimsy, fallible one that exposes our areas of vulnerability. We have… Continue reading June 30th – Psalm 5:12
June 26th – Psalm 103:8
Psalm 103:8 Does your heart ever grow heavy from bearing the weight of your mistakes? The truth is, we all fall short and need forgiveness daily. Fortunately, God’s grace comes in an abundant supply. The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to anger, and filled with unfailing love. He does not accuse, nor remain angry… Continue reading June 26th – Psalm 103:8
June 25th – Psalm 55:22
Psalm 55:22 Between the government, social media, and news outlets, fear is peddled as a hot commodity. No wonder in today’s climate people are afraid to even step out of their front door. But God, in His great love, reminds us that as His children we need not fear. For the Lord our God is… Continue reading June 25th – Psalm 55:22
June 19th – Psalm 24:7
Psalm 24:7 In Psalm 24, David makes a plea to Jerusalem to make room for the King of glory to enter the city. Who is the King of glory? To the priests the King of Glory is the Lord Almighty. To the the people the King of glory is Jesus. Both are right, for Jesus is… Continue reading June 19th – Psalm 24:7
June 4th – Psalm 55:22
Psalm 55:22 There’s nothing more painful than being betrayed by someone you hold dear. King David knew this well. Betrayed by one of his dearest friends, his heart was broken and his soul weary. David faced threats from all sides, enemies constantly wanting his destruction, and not knowing who would turn on him next. Too… Continue reading June 4th – Psalm 55:22
