On God I Rest

Psalm 62
For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure [...]

Romans 8:9a What If I Am?

Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Read this verse in light of every single verse since Romans 7:7 [reading link], how much weight does this [...]

I Smiled On Them When They Had No Confidence

Job 29:21-25
Men listened to me and waited
and kept silence for my counsel.
After I spoke they did not speak again,
and my word dropped upon them.
They waited for me as for the rain,
and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.
I smiled on them when they had no confidence,
and the light of my face they did [...]

No More Posts

I just realized that so many of my posts were full of arrogance and pride.  I never realized this until just this moment.
I am so sorry.
I am stopping all posts indefinitely.
John 12:49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say [...]

I Called. You Answered.

I called. You answered.
Psalm 17:6
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my words.

You came to my rescue

Psalm 18:17
He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
and I want to be where you are.

Moses said, “Please [...]

My God Did Not Leave Me To Die

I could write a book on this so with that in mind, I will be as brief as I can.
I truly wonder if we would actually, sincerely pray for these things… what would happened.
I know in my past that I didn’t want to go headlong into sin but my prayers and thoughts toward God [...]

Doxology: Psalm 73:25-26

Whom have I in heaven but You?
There is none on earth I desire besides You.
My heart
my soul
my strength
my light
my mind
my body
my hands
my feet
my mouth
my eyes
my actions
my very best
have failed
and will fail
time and time again
But You
are the strength of my heart
and my portion
Forevermore
I ask only one thing
to dwell in Your presence for the rest of all [...]

Doxology: 1 Timothy 1:12-17

From the bottom of my heart,
I thank you for giving me strength.
You are my Christ Jesus, my Lord.
You judged me faithful.
You appointed to Your service.
Despite my dishonoring and blaspheming your holy name.
Despite my persecution of those who love you
Despite my perverted and violent opposition towards you
I only received mercy
because I was lost
I was blind
I was [...]

Doxology: See This Heart Of Worship

See my heart Lord
know the worship of my heart
I have no one else
I have nothing else
You are the only One I have
When I am weak, you are my strength
When I am poor, you are my portion
When I am stupid, you are wisdom
When I crumble, you will not be moved
When I collapse, you are my foundation
When [...]

Doxology: Nothing Can Come Between Us

I will proclaim who You are to all the world.  My heart sings for you.  My soul aches after you.
You are mine and I am yours.
There is no separation [...]
