My Psalm 334 is title “Glory” This is a term that brings me satisfaction. One of my favorite books I completed is called “Live-Changing Water: Chaos to Glory” because it traces God’s providential story of salvation from Genesis to Revelation. He brought chaos to glory through the salvation message of Jesus Christ. I am…..
I like this passage from 1 Peter 5:6-7. When life becomes overwhelming, it’s good to know that God is our refuge, and that if He can control the whole universe and holds me in the hollow of His hands, I can rely on that merciful knowledge to hold things in perspective.
Chaos on the news, personal issues, and a feeling that I’ve set too many goals for my eighty-two year old body seem to cause me sleeplessness and a sense…..
There is nothing like singing in a huge choir, especially majestic things like the Hallelujah Chorus. I can’t wait to hear the harps and voices in heaven. We’ll be doing a lot of praise and worship.
The church from the beginning has included hymns and psalms and spiritual songs. Music unites hearts as nothing else can do, and it is an act of devotion to God the Creator, Sustainer, and Perfecter of our faith. It may be harder to sing…..
When I wrote this “My Psalm 332 You Love Even Me” it was in a time of gratitude to God for loving me, yes, even me. It is true every day. And old hymn says, “New every morning, new every morning, great is Your faithfulness, O God!” It is so true. If you’re not living a life of thanksliving, perhaps this will inspire…..
Serving others is a big part of living the Christian life. It’s no surprise that Christians top the charities list with hospitals, aid to orphans and widows, senior centers, hospices, shelters, and aid to immigrants. Jesus taught us to love others above ourselves, and that’s part of our mission in life.
MY PSALM 328 SERVING
Heavenly Father, Precious Lord, Loving Savior I offer myself to You as Your servant. I know You have prepared…..
The first day of spring is to be celebrated~ although, in Florida, we live in eternal spring and summer. We can count on one hand the days we’ve had to dress in layers. This is one of them! and it is occurring on the first day of spring. It is just under 50 degrees, and yesterday there was a chill wind whipping the palms…..
As women, we wear many hats. In the traditional sense, as homemakers, we are responsible for keeping order, decorating, cooking, cleaning, setting the tone of hominess, whatever that means, and usually, raising children. Not all women hold these tasks to be self-evident, but in addition, they may, as I did my whole life, work outside the house as well. That brings additional duties…..
The difference between God and man is mortality. God is, always was, and always will be. We are mortal, since Adam and Eve sinned and we carry the death penalty.
However, God has prepared a place for us after we die in this first death–the one all of mankind faces. He provided a savior, Jesus Christ, who allows…..
Sometimes it’s good to live life adventurously; sometimes we crave constancy. I’m traveling Europe vicariously from photos of three families touring all the sites of Paris, London, and Rome. While I’ve never visited these places in this life, I’ve dreamed of doing so. So, I’m reveling in pictures of the Louvre, the cathedrals, and the city streets I’ve longed to visit.
But, in contrast, Ev and I have discovered the old movies channel and have been watching movies made in…..
Rhetoric, the title of today’s “My Psalm 323” has to do with the art of writing or speaking–of choosing how to express a thought. The book of Proverbs has many statements such as: “The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the sinner will rot.” (See chapter 10) These are balanced statements. Here’s another:…..
