Good Morning “Accepters, NOT Rejectors.”  Today we are in Psalm 68.God desires that the nations hear about Him, are shown example of lives changed by Him, and in turn choose to leave their Pagan ways and follow Him.  He made that clear through Psalm 66 and 67.  Jesus paid a price we never could!  We must choose to turn from our flesh and toward Him, receiving His free gift of grace.  Paul describe...  Read More

Good Morning “Glowing Faces”.  Today we are in Psalm 67.  Today’s Psalm carry’s the same theme as Psalm 66 yesterday.  God wants the nations, ALL the nations,  to know Him… and He wants His people to show them how they can.   It all began with Israel.  They were each to reflect The Love of God to those around them so that foreigners would see the difference and choose life with God rather than the...  Read More

God Morning “Observed”.  Today we are in Psalm 66.  “Praise to God For His Awesome Works.”  At first glance it appears this is a Psalm for the nation of Israel.  After all, the psalm praises the awesome works of the God of Israel.  Sure, Israel is the intended audience, but the psalm is also written to the nations, the “peoples” (Vs 8).  The intent of its message is for the nations to observe how ...  Read More

Good Morning “Inspired In Awe.”  Today we are in Psalm 65.Through David, God reminds us of His intimate care and Sovereignty.  Our world, at times seems to be spinning out of control.  Natural disasters appear to come out of nowhere.  The Truth, however; is just the opposite.  The God who created it all (Isaiah 40:12), holds it all in His hand (Psalm 95:4-5), and brings about each measure like a c...  Read More

Good Morning “Hard Working Above Reproach-ers.”  Today we are in Psalm 64.  David’s enemies are working hard to plot their schemes, and spread their lies.  The evil one is always at work (1 Peter 5:8).  He never rests.  He and the way he works through the deceived are more powerful than we are… alone that is!  But with God, there is no battle at all!  “But God will shoot them with his arrows; they...  Read More

Good Morning “All Day Meditators On the Word.  Today we are in Psalm 63.David writes this Psalm while he was in the Judean wilderness.  Pay close attention, it parallels Jesus’ time in the wilderness, leading up to His being tempted by Satan.  Look past the Judean desert… there is more here.  Both David and Jesus’ strength for survival came from Gods Word - not food and water.“Then Jesus was led b...  Read More

Good Morning “20%-ers”.   Today we are in Psalm 62.We ARE blessed!  Satan is the master of deception… to the point that it’s very easy to begin to; put our trust in things, stuff - our resources and wealth.  David as King no doubt was very wealthy!  His son Solomon became the richest man alive.  Yet, David sings of his trust in The Lord ONLY!  God is his eternal rock and refuge!  His security.  I ...  Read More

Good Morning “Examples”.  Today we are in Psalm 61.  Here David sings about God’s help in times of weakness.
