Sunday Psalms 13

Psalm 13

LORD, have You forgotten me? Why are You hiding? I have no words. I am completely covered in sadness. My enemies seem to be winning.

LORD, hear me. Think of me. I can’t sleep. I need Your protection from the bullies around me.

I trust You! I know You love me! You have saved me. You have given me so much.

I will sing of Your love forever!

Sunday Psalm 12

Psalm 12

LORD, there is so much dishonesty, so many who lie.

It seems like no one is Godly, no one is faithful.

Abba, stop those who boast and lie. Stifle those who think that just because they said it, it is good.

GOD has heard the poor and needy. He will provide a safe place.

He always does what He says.

ALWAYS!

Wisdom for Life – Book Review

Are you like me? We buy a book of devotionals that looks like it is exactly what we need and four or five days in we give up and find something new to read because it wasn’t what we thought it was. I found Wisdom for Life by Gail Purath to be exactly what I needed and wanted.

If you want to gain a deeper understanding of the Psalms and Proverbs this collection of 100, 1-Minute readings, gives direction on how to use Biblical principles to direct daily life.

If you’re dealing with discouragement, depression, or discontent you will find how the psalmist dealt with these tough issues. Are you wanting a more joy-filled, positive outlook? You’ll find some answers here. Have you wondered how to praise our God more effectively? She gives some excellent suggestions on how to give thanks in the mundane activities of daily life.

I love her style! When an issue is important to understand how the Holy Words apply to our life she wastes no time in explaining the errors in our thinking. Many of these very short, daily writings spoke to me about the people and this crazy world around me. Each devotion ends with a short section that helps us dig into the subject more deeply and use it more effectively in our own life situations.

This book will be available for you to read on February 21, 2023. You can pre-purchase it here (Wisdom for Life). It is definitely worth your time!

Sunday Psalms – 11

Psalm 11

I will hide in my GOD.

He gives me safety from the evil around me.

He is everywhere watching and seeing everything.

He tests the righteous and the evil.

Because He is righteous, He loves those who make the right choices and they will see Him.

Sunday Psalms 10

Psalm 10

Father, why do You hide from Your people? Evil is everywhere. Seize those who are scheming and dishonest, prideful, saying there is no God. Why do You let people prosper who curse You, are dishonest, arrogant, deceitful, oppressive, full of lies, sinners, murderers of the helpless and innocent? Why do You let them think You don’t see them?

Father, we need You to act! You see everything. Stop the evil! Take control!

Other nations will die out, but You are the Alpha and Omega! You will always be King!

I know You hear. Strengthen us! Let Your law and justice rule our land and this (Your) World!
