Psalm 73: 77-78: Education and Strength

everfaith

The Lord has given me a passion for education.  I wanted to be a teacher from my first day of school and often subjected my stuffed animals and younger brother to my ministrations.  When a child “gets it,” and you see that a concept has been learned by the sudden bright quickening in her eyes, a nodding of the head, or even a hand slap to the forehead…the world seems new all over again. I like to think that my background in theater helped me become a better teacher.  I learned through theater how to project my voice.  I learned … Continue reading Psalm 73: 77-78: Education and Strength

1 Chronicles 3-5: Marching orders

everfaith

The Lord is awesome!  Yesterday I wrote about the power of the Name of Jesus.  Today in church, the worship music was all about the Name! Because today’s reading was so dry (more begats, from more tribes of Israel), tonight I want to record my thoughts about worship today. I wish I could bottle up the feeling I get when I am surrounded by fellow Christians of like mind.  As we sing to Jesus, it’s as if all walls are torn down.  Nothing exists beyond our praise for the true King…we are all fallen, broken people, who have come to … Continue reading 1 Chronicles 3-5: Marching orders

Psalm 43-45; 49; 84-85; 87: What’s in a Name?

everfaith

Since I’m back in the Psalms tonight, I thought I’d pick out a few of my favorite verses, especially those that reach out to me when I am in the middle of an anxiety storm. Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Psalm 43:3 Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. 6 I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;  Psalm 44:6 15 But God will redeem my life [f] … Continue reading Psalm 43-45; 49; 84-85; 87: What’s in a Name?

1 Chronicles 1-2: The Begats

everfaith

Somewhere there are scholars out there who are experts in ancient Jewish history.  These first two chapters of 1 Chronicles have my head swimming in “ites”.  I need a visual aid to get a better understanding of these people and where they lived and ruled. It just occurred to me as I read (okay, skimmed) through these chronicles of fathers, sons, and some daughters that they are all related.  All people on earth today got here through the sons of Noah. So when the Assyrians attacked, they were really attacking their brothers.  How did such animosity rise up between nations? … Continue reading 1 Chronicles 1-2: The Begats

Psalm 6; 8-10; 14, 16, 19, 21

Blogging too late tonight.  I read several of Davd’s psalms.  Man, I wish I had a relationship like that with the Lord, where I could just pour everything out to Him.  I do that when I pray at night… It’s been one of those days that I have been gone running errands all dy long  I’m too exhausted to ponder much more than the fact that I admire David’s honesty and that I want to be able to pour out my heart like him…but that’s not happening tonight! God can do anything.  We watched a portion of Life tonight and … Continue reading Psalm 6; 8-10; 14, 16, 19, 21
