- 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)

Pray About It
Hovering over the third stanza of Psalm 119 this morning. In it is one of my life verses, not surprised to encounter it. But this morning I also encounter a verse which particularly resonates for the first time. Bottom line, … Continue reading
Vindication and Trusting
It was certainly a prayer of David’s back then. Is it to be a prayer for today? Chewing on it. Read between the lines in Psalm 26 (vv. 4-5), and it sounds like the accusations were flying against David. He … Continue reading
Taking Pride = Trusting
At first, this CSB rendering of a well-known ESV verse seems so different. Initially, I’m thinking that the two sets of translators seem to have ended up in very different places. But the more I chew on it this morning, … Continue reading
No Choice in the Matter
Yesterday I confessed I’m struggling with patience. This morning it’s before me that I’m struggling also with silence, as in the need to be so. Yesterday the story concerned a promised son, this morning it’s about his promised bride. Genesis … Continue reading
Agree with God

I am wired to be a justifier. Not necessarily a justifier of all things to all people, just a justifier of myself. I don’t think I have to be right all the time–I think I know enough about people in … Continue reading
The Prayer of Battle
It ain’t no prayer of Jabez (1Chron. 4:10). But it is a prayer. And it is buried in the genealogies that fill the opening chapters of 1 Chronicles. And, while I don’t think I’ll be able to convert it into … Continue reading
Fret Not Yourself
They are like old friends. Verses that I haven’t read for probably a year. But they were implanted within me as a young believer and have been part of me ever since. While our formal interactions may not be frequent, … Continue reading

Who Came Up with that Plan?
There’s no way Abraham could have predicted the path when he received the promise. No way he could have imagined how God’s promise of land, seed, and blessing (Gen. 12:1-3) would be realized. It wasn’t to be realized in his … Continue reading

From Blues to Bounty
The psalm is only six short verses in length. But the distance the song travels, from the first line to the last, is huge. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? . . . I will sing to … Continue reading
