Psalm 61:2 When storms rage and the flood waters rise, the wisest advice is always to seek higher ground. Because the higher we climb, the more distance we put between us and the howling winds, the safer we become. And there’s no safer place to be than sheltered in the tent of the Lord. During… Continue reading January 9th – Psalm 61:2

January 8th – Psalm 56:3
Psalm 56:3 There are many fears in the world today. And while some are real, legitimate, fears, most are rooted in the lies of the Enemy. For he knows the power he wields when we are afraid. And as cunning as he is, Satan offers ample, worldly solutions to overcoming our worries. Because for every… Continue reading January 8th – Psalm 56:3
January 6th – Psalm 36:3
Psalm 36:3 It’s estimated that around 45% of the world’s population are active on some sort of social media platform. This has caused a rise in the very lucrative business of social media influencing. And one of the greatest influencers out there is Satan. Without restriction or consequences, the Enemy goes about influencing the world… Continue reading January 6th – Psalm 36:3
January 5th – Psalm 31:14-15
Psalm 31:14-15 Sadly, as long as there is sin there will be suffering. And this side of heaven we may not understand the reason behind God letting it in our lives. But like David, we can trust that no matter what we endure, God always has a purpose for our pain. I think of Jesus.… Continue reading January 5th – Psalm 31:14-15
January 4th – Psalm 26:1-3
Psalm 26:1-3 It hurts when we are condemned and convicted for something we didn’t do. And trying to prove our innocence can be frustrating and futile. Because no matter how we plead, or the truth before set them, some people will never believe our faultlessness. David was falsely accused by Saul. Yet instead of taking… Continue reading January 4th – Psalm 26:1-3
January 3rd – Psalm 21:13
Psalm 21:13 When someone hurts us, it’s in our nature to want to retaliate. To make them feel, not only the same, but worse pain than they caused us. But instead of encouraging revenge or getting even, God demands something unfair, undoable, and unjust. Not only does He want us to leave the punishing to… Continue reading January 3rd – Psalm 21:13
January 2nd – Psalm 34:8
Psalm 34:8 We’ve all heard the expression, the proof is in the pudding. That’s why David doesn’t want us to just take his word that God is good. To be content in just admiring God from afar. Instead David wants us to taste and see for ourselves. To experience, like him, the peace, love, and security… Continue reading January 2nd – Psalm 34:8
December 27th – Matthew 11:28
Matthew 11:28 Are any of you weary and burdened? Like me, do you at times feel overloaded in your mind and in your spirit? Do your burdens manifest themselves in physical ways? When you go to bed at night, are you exhausted from the battles you fight each day? If so what you need is… Continue reading December 27th – Matthew 11:28
December 26th – Psalm 46:10
Psalm 46:10 The phrase “be still”, comes from the Hebrew word, “raphah.” Translated it means to relax, cause yourself to let go, or to let yourself become weak. And although it seems counterintuitive, it’s only when we deliberately surrender all to God, our fears, worries, and hurt, can we really take control of any situation.… Continue reading December 26th – Psalm 46:10
December 13th – Psalm 51:1
Psalm 51:1 David committed horrendous sins against God. Sins others might find unforgivable. The conviction was heavy on the mighty king of Israel. And the pain he felt knowing the hurt his sin caused God, brought him to his knees. It was there on his knees where David confessed his wrongdoings and begged God for… Continue reading December 13th – Psalm 51:1
