- 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)

My Portion
Psalm 142 is a cave prayer. Over the years, I have regularly paused to capture in my journal thoughts on cave dwelling — four of those times prompted by Psalm 142. So, I’m not surprised that Psalm 142 again gives … Continue reading
Righteous Hammers (2019 Remix)
Found myself hovering over Psalm 141 this morning. A relatively short psalm but, for me at least, not an easy psalm to figure out. It’s prayer, that’s clear (v.1-2). And there are some enemies involved, that’s obvious too (v.5b-10). But … Continue reading
The Lord Will Fulfill His Purpose for Me
I’m wrapping up an 18+ month cohort with some guys at my church, a cohort focused on preparing someone for pastoral leadership within the church. It’s been a great run. But honestly, this last assignment, though I appreciate its intent, … Continue reading
Like Hitting a Bad Note
It really is kind of a shocking end to what’s been a magnificent and glorious opus. And what an opus Psalm 119 has been. It’s been a song to beat all other songs — not just in length, not just … Continue reading
Where Understanding Comes From
From today’s readings, I’ve been shaken a bit by a fresh reminder that God will send even lying spirits from heaven to accomplish his long-range plans on earth (1Kings 22:19-23). And that just set me up for a fresh remembrance … Continue reading

Exceedingly Broad
If we really believed it then we’d really be after it. If we thought it was true, we’d make sure to invest the time. This morning, I’m chewing on a verse in Psalm 119. I have seen a limit to … Continue reading

Songs for the Sojourner (2014 Rerun)
Hovering over a verse in the Psaltery’s love song to the Word of God. If I had decided to write down a few thoughts this morning, I think I might have titled it “Whistle While You Walk.” Instead, I was … Continue reading
The FROM and FOR of the People of God (2016 Remix)
It’s a short song. Less than a hundred words parsed into eight verses packaged into four stanzas. It’s a short song about a great God to be sung by a redeemed people. The God of Jacob is the focus of … Continue reading
Deliverance Plus
Noted a command to obey in Psalm 107 this morning. So . . . I’m gonna obey it! Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD. (Psalm 107:43 ESV) After 42 … Continue reading

Seek, Seek, Seek
It’s a command to obey in Psalm 105 that hooks me this morning. Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples!Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wondrous works!Glory … Continue reading
