Posted on April 5, 2021 by Pete

Sinai is in the Sanctuary

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Pete

Hovering over Psalm 68 this morning. A psalm of David. A song of victory. A song of a God who will arise to deliver His people. The “Father of the fatherless” and the “Protector of widows” (v.5), the God David … Continue reading →

Show Me A Sign

Posted on April 11, 2019 by Pete

Hovering over another song of David this morning, Psalm 86. A prayer song. A desperate prayer song. Insolent, arrogant, proud, presumptuous men had risen up against him. A band of ruthless men who sought to take his life. Men devoid … Continue reading →

The God To Whom I Belong

Posted on February 21, 2018 by Pete

D, U, M, B . . . dumb!!! That’s what it was, dumb. A dumb decision to set sail. It was the majority decision, but it was the wrong decision. It was the expedient decision, the pilot preferring another port, … Continue reading →
