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…

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…
Yesterday I said growth should be our goal every day of our earthly lives. How should we strive to grow? In knowledge and discernment.
