- So . . . I'm "feeding myself" in the morning from God's Word and thought I'd post what I'm chewin' on and make my "food" available for others who might want to nibble a bit. Hope it's of some benefit to you . . .
The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

We Need a King
The last chapters of the book of Judges have to be among the most disturbing in all the bible. The train wreck of a life that marked Samson’s “rule” as a judge of Israel was but a relatively small indicator … Continue reading
A Heavenly Birth Certificate (2016 Rerun)
It’s kind of a cryptic song. For me it’s a little hard to completely piece together. But I do know it’s a song about Zion. The city on the holy mount founded by God Himself to be the place where … Continue reading
Do It Again, LORD!
You read the psalm and you sense something’s gone wrong. Some sin has entered the camp. Some disobedience has derailed God’s people. Some transgression has taken away their joy. So, the songwriter recounts a time past when, in a similar … Continue reading
That They May Seek Your Name
Psalm 83 is a “Go get ’em, God!” song. A psalm of Asaph composed as a lament for a people under threat by their enemies. It’s an “arise O’ God” psalm. A “do not keep silence; do not hold Your … Continue reading
How Are We Doing?
For as long as I can remember, it has been the first occurrence of a black underline, my marking for sin, when reading Judges. The first occurrence of when a tribe of Israel didn’t do what the Lord had told … Continue reading

Honey from the Rock
I don’t know if this psalm was part of the inspiration for that hymn, but that’s the connection I’m making this morning. For many years, the familiar “friend” found in Psalm 81 was in verse 10. Open your mouth wide, … Continue reading

A “How Long O LORD?” Song (2019 Rerun)
Doing something a little different as I read through the Psalms this year — I’m doing it with Dane Ortlund. Well, with his devotional on the Psalms. And something he points out this morning about Psalm 79 strikes me. . … Continue reading

Praise God! He Chose Judah (2015 Remix)
Gather round, says the songwriter, and listen up. Incline your ears and I’ll tell you a story. A story comprised of many stories. Stories you have heard and known. Stories which we should not forget. Stories that should be passed … Continue reading

Unseen Footprints (2017 Rerun)
“Unseen footprints” . . . that’s what I’m chewing on this morning. Had a familiar taste to it, pretty sure it was a meal that must have been served up in the past. So, I searched the archives. Nine years … Continue reading

Kingdom Power (2011 Remix)
“Arrogance subdues the kingdom” . . . Those words from some thoughts penned 15 years ago strike a chord with me today. In a day when “loud and proud” seems often portrayed as the way for the church to bear … Continue reading
