Psalm 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. David knew about fear. Saul, the King of Israel, was out to get him. This means that the armies of Saul were after him, and anyone loyal to Saul. That’s something to fear! When I became a mother for the first time on …
Psalm 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. It wasn’t too long ago that one of my children came to me in tears to confess a sin. This child had taken some candy and eaten it, without asking the person who owned it – they had stolen! My husband …
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 10 Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, will be exalted in the earth. I’m a homeschooling mom of five kids and a pastor’s wife. This means I live in a fishbowl. Everyone …
Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me and heard my cry. This verse gives me hope. Hope that if I keep waiting for the Lord, as David did, I will receive answers to my heart cries. My dad would often say to me the old adage, “It’s always darkest …

The word “willing” is …
I felt compelled to begin reading Psalms. About a week ago, that’s what I did. I’m also reading Matthew, Isaiah and Exodus. I usually don’t begin a new book until I’ve finished one, but my soul yearned for the comfort of Psalms so I gave in. I have enjoyed it so much. David has ups …
Ps. 27:11 Teach my thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, …
Is. 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.I’ve heard this verse quoted and even sung most of my life. I’d say it’s right up there with Psalm 23 …
Psalm 19:12-14 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
