Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. For a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to [...]

Amid all the confusion and tangle
(J. R. Miller, “The Beauty of Self-control”)“Hold me up–and I shall be safe!” Psalm 119:117Certain ancient mariners were accustomed to say, as they put out to sea, “Keep me, O God, for my boat is so small–and the ocean is so great and stormy!” There could not be a fitter prayer for a Christian–as he [...]

Trust His Heart
Its 6:30 the following morning after Na08 and I’ve already been at work for 30 minutes. I think this borders on insanity. The word “exhaustion” doesn’t seem to come close to describing my state right now.

Like the Children of Israel, we get bored with manna and forget that its a gift. We grumble because we only have water to drink. We look to [...]

Too Busy?
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. For [...]
