Simple Faith In A Complicated WorldGreetings Reader Psalm 131 is one of three chapters in the Bible with only three verses. In this Psalm, David chose a quiet path to humbly trust God. His words invite us to step off the exhausting treadmill of self-reliance and learn the beauty of simple faith. Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. We live in a complicated world that constantly tells us we need to understand everything, control everything, and have an answer for everything. Psalm 131 reminds us that sometimes faith means simply trusting God with what we cannot understand or control. Enjoy today's devotion. God Bless

It will also help us understand how to face some of the lowest moments of our lives. No matter what we experience or how...
Experience Perfect Peace in an Imperfect Situation Greetings Reader Have you ever left a church service encouraged by the message, only to discover that the situation waiting for you hadn’t changed? The bills were still there. The family problem still needed attention. The difficult decision still had to be made. Whatever concerned you before church was waiting for you afterward. That’s one reason I appreciate Paul’s benediction in 2 Thessalonians: “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you...
Sing For Joy And Exalt God's Wonderful Name Greetings Reader Psalm 92 carries a rare distinction. Scripture identifies it as “a Psalm to be sung on the Sabbath day.” It begins with thanksgiving and praise, but as I studied it, I realized this Psalm gives us some very practical reasons to sing for joy. You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done. Psalm 92:4 Sometimes our circumstances don't give us much to sing about. We may even look around...
