- 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)

A Shelter and A Shadow
The opening verse of Psalm 91 catches my attention this morning. At first read, it seems to be talking about me and what I can do and the results which are a “no-brainer” and an “of course” sort of outcome. … Continue reading
My Exceeding Joy
Chewing on Psalm 43 this morning. That it’s a continuation of Psalm 42 seems evident because of the common chorus in these two songs of David — still turmoil within . . . still a soul cast down . . … Continue reading

Delivered Many Times
It’s the kind of good news which, while you’re glad to hear it, in a way you’d rather not hear it. The promise of a good outcome sourced in another promise of a less than desirable reality. Something to look … Continue reading
A Lesser-Known Name
“I’ll take lesser-known names for God for 500, Alex.” (I’m hoping we still remember who Alex is). “The answer is, Psalm 17:7.” “Where is God referred to as ‘Savior of those who seek refuge?’” Correct. Wondrously show Your steadfast love, … Continue reading
God’s Wingman
For many of us, we hear the name Boaz and we immediately think redeemer. If we’re NIV readers, we think kinsman-redeemer. And, as I’ve learned this morning reading in the CSB, if you’re a CSB reader Boaz is going to … Continue reading
Father
This morning was one of those mornings when two of my four readings connected. Not an obvious connection, but a little bit of chewing on the songwriter’s plea illuminated something of what the good doctor penned. Psalm 142 is a … Continue reading

Under His Wings
Reading Ruth is kind of like engaging in a “Where’s Waldo” book. No, I’m not on the lookout for some skinny dude in a striped red shirt with a beanie on. Instead, I’m actively trying to spot Jesus. In particular, … Continue reading

A Song for Old People
Hovering over Psalm 71. There’s a song for old people in the bible, for those “in the time of old age” (v.9) and sporting a few “gray hairs” (v. 18). Who knew? Apparently, it hit my radar a couple of … Continue reading
Cave Time
When you’re in a dark place, what’s left to do but cry out? When the path outside is booby trapped by the enemy, when no one takes notice, when no one cares for your soul, what’s left but to plead … Continue reading
A Kept Man
For those of us who have viewed these past 3 months through the eyeglasses of “this is much to do about nothing”, emerging from “shelter in place” probably comes with very little anxiety. About time, they might say. But for … Continue reading
