I love the personal relationship the psalmist (most likely Moses) shared with God. He doesn’t say that the Lord is *A* refuge and *A* fortress, but rather *MY* refuge and *MY* fortress. Think about what that means. A refuge is a shelter, a place we go to when we’re being…

HYMN DAY! “He Hideth My Soul” by Fanny Crosby. Dare you not to sing it! 1 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, a wonderful Savior to me; He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, where rivers of pleasure I see. Refrain: He hideth my soul in…
King James phrases it, “…shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” The Lord Himself shields those who dwell with Him. When we commune with God, we are safe from Satan’s darts. The minions of hell cannot reach us when we are in God’s shadow. Yes, we’re still trapped in…
When the storms of life are crashing down, I often turn to Psalm 91. I actually love the King James version of this Psalm. “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High…” Sad to say we aren’t referencing all believers here. Some believers appreciate God’s grace and…

When I look at majestic mountains, a thick forest of trees, or a carpet of delicate flowers, I see the Maker. The wonder and awe of creation fills me, and I can’t help but look heavenward and praise God for His amazing creation. But does that moment of admiration and…
HYMN DAY! “Serve the Lord with Gladness” by B. B. McKinney is a battlecry of sorts—a challenge to every believer to find your joy in serving Him. Serve the Lord with gladness in our works and ways. Come before His presence with our songs of praise. Unto Him our Maker,…
My hope isn’t built on a bank account or a husband or a publisher. My hope is built on the One who is, who was, and who is yet to come. Everything else in my life will, whether intentionally or not, let me down at some point. But not God.…
I love how available God is. The world is ever-changing, but He is never-changing. Whenever a lost soul reaches out, He is there to take hold and draw him near. The tiniest faith, even the size of a mustard seed, is enough when it’s offered in sincerity. If you feel…
