Psalm 40:3 When we’re hurting we don’t want to wait for relief. We want God to act now! But trusting in His perfect plan for our lives means surrendering to God’s own way and own time. So if we’re in a season of waiting, it isn’t because God enjoys seeing us suffer. Instead He uses… Continue reading May 10th – Psalm 40:3

April 26th – Acts 3:19
Acts 3:19 Peter tells us that in order to receive forgiveness for our sins, we need to repent from our wickedness. But to repent means more than just apologizing for sinning. Because God isn’t looking for lip action. He’s looking for true, life changing action. For repentance includes transformation. Repent is from the Greek root… Continue reading April 26th – Acts 3:19
April 25th – Psalm 146:1
Psalm 146:1 Many are the reasons to give God the glory. Creator and Ruler of all things, He champions the weak, fathers the orphans, heals the afflicted, and blesses all who put their hope in Him.

Psalm 61:4 It's easy to fall into a state of worry and fear. Because it’s natural to want to feel safe and protected; to worry for our safety and the safety of our loved ones.

March 26th – Psalm 15:1
Psalm 15:1 If the list of requirements to dwell with God forever sound impossible, it’s because it’s supposed to be.

Psalm 27:14 We've all heard it said that patience is a virtue. It’s also listed by Paul in Galatians 5:22-23 as among the fruit of the Spirit. But when it comes to times of hurting and despair, the last thing we want to do is practice patience. Instead what we want is immediate relief. That’s… Continue reading March 8th – Psalm 27:14

Psalm 95:7 Throughout the the book of Exodus, we learn of the travels of the Israelites as they fled Egypt. Like the Israelites, we too are on an exodus.

January 10th – Psalm 66:20
Psalm 66:20 I love how psalm 66 starts out with songs of praise to God for His glory, greatness, and works. Oh how easy it is to sing such wonderful songs when we feel surrounded by God’s glory. Those times we experience a spiritual, physical, and emotional closeness with Him. Usually it’s due to a… Continue reading January 10th – Psalm 66:20
