    Listening for God’s Voice

    There have been times when I have prayed to God for guidance when I have faced a situation where I did not know what to do. Not wanting to choose the wrong direction or go down the wrong road, like David I cry out to God for an answer. I understand the distress David felt when his cries were met with silence. How unsettling it is to feel you are treading on shaky ground and may fall. It is during this tough time of waiting, that , like David, I hold fast to my faith and trust in God. I listen for His voice in His Word, seeking scriptures that may teach me God’s will.

    Let It All Out

    In this psalm, as in so many others, David opens up his heart and soul to God with deep and honest expressions of pain and need. As I examine myself and the way I pray to God, I think there are times I hold back my emotions and carefully edit my words. Why do I do this when I know Jesus says I can “cast all my cares on him because he cares for me?”

    Passion of Christ

    I will never truly understand Jesus’ love for me. He was wounded for my transgressions, He was bruised for my iniquity, the chastisement of my peace was upon Him and by His stripes I am healed (Isaiah 53:5). I thank Him that I will never have to feel the desperate sorrow and complete loss of connection with God. He will never leave me or forsake me. Thank you Jesus.

    Songs of Praise

    Since I was a child, I felt so much joy singing songs about Jesus in church. Throughout the years of my life, so many songs have lifted my spirit, strengthened my faith, and led me to a place of peace and worship. I pray that for the rest of my days, I will continue to sing of the goodness of God and rejoice in His mighty works. How Great Is Our GOD!

    Somebody Prayed For Me

    Psalm 20 brings to mind those times in my life when I felt overwhelmed with trouble. Feeling weak, anxious, helpless and afraid, I could feel my faith wavering as doubts flooded my heart and mind. In those tough times, I would call on my rolodex of prayer warriors. These precious saints would pray confidently about the faithful, unfailing and victorious God who is our Father, our refuge, our savior and deliverer.

    God Revealed

    In Psalm 19, David tells us that we need only to look to the splendor of nature, in the earth and skies, to come to know God. He speaks to all of mankind through His creation and by understanding how they are designed, we can come to understand God’s righteous laws. The one thing we all have in common around the world is that we all look up into the same sky, day and night. There is no speech or language where the voice of God is not heard (19:3). He speaks to all of us as we behold and study the sun, moon, stars, galaxies and so much more.
