Psalm 5:3 “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.” There is a time of the day that is precious to me, a time when the house is quiet and the day hasn’t yet been marred by the sound of disharmony. It…
Psalm 147:1 “Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise Him!” Do you remember the days not so long ago when a good Sunday morning service was characterized by the length of the sermon? I can still remember my step-father saying that we shouldn’t…
Psalm 89:2 “I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.” In reminiscing about past years of my life, I have never once seen a day when there was no sunrise, a storm that didn’t eventually blow over, or a Spring that didn’t eventually arrive after a…
Psalm 103:1 “Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.” Sometimes when I begin to think I understand what God meant by worshiping Him, I find a new area that hits me between the eyes. There are all the usual ways in our private and corporate worship but have…

Psalm 119:108 “Accept, O lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.” Worship had always seemed a cut and dried subject until I really started to delve into what it was. Study revealed some new aspects of worship to me, but for the most part I already knew the fundamentals. What…
Isaiah 59:1, 2 “Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.” What do you think of when you consider being humbled…

Hebrews 12:28-29 “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” Occasionally you will read in the newspaper or hear on the television about people dying in house fires, unable to be rescued…
