Psalm 37: A God-Centered Life

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate (His) faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him…                                                                                                                    Psalm…

Psalm 32: The Blessing Of Forgiveness

How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!                                                                                                                      Psalm 32:1-2  The blessing of God runs two ways: we must receive it and we…

Psalm 23: The Good Shepherd

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.                                                                                                                         Psalm 23:6  David knew a thing or two about being a shepherd. In his younger years that was his job. Guarding the sheep, protecting them…

Psalm 19: Spending Time With God

The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge.                                                                                                                Psalm 19:1-2 (NIV) Ok, let this be a personal challenge.

Psalm 16: The Pleasure Of Knowing God

You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.                                                                                                                    Psalm 16:11 For the Christian, only one thing matters, to be with God.

Psalm 1: Meditating On God’s Word

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and…

The Sowing And Reaping Principle

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time…

Examining Our Lives

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. For each one will bear his own load.                           …

Looking Out For Others

Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.                                   …

Life In The Spirit

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the…
