Sing For Joy And Exalt God's Wonderful NameGreetings 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 and see people who have little regard for God seemingly prospering while faithful Christians struggle. Psalm 92 tells us not to be fooled by what we see. The wicked may flourish for a season, but God's people are planted in something much deeper. The Psalmist compared the godly to palm trees and the mighty cedars of Lebanon. He even said that in old age, they will continue producing fruit and remain vital and green. That's encouraging at any age! In today's devotion, we'll see how praise strengthens our faith, why we can trust God when evil seems to prosper, and how staying rooted in Christ allows us to continue flourishing through every season of life. Whatever your circumstances look like today, you still have a reason to sing for joy. Enjoy today's devotion! God Bless Robin

Be Careful Not to Criticize Someone's Ministry Greetings Reader Have you ever felt certain that someone else wasn't doing ministry the way they should? Early in our marriage, Cindy and I answered God's call to enter full-time children's evangelistic ministry. Much to our surprise, not everyone encouraged us. Some people questioned our decision, while others openly criticized it. Thankfully, we followed God's direction instead of allowing those voices to stop us. The Lord gave us eight...
Don't Let the Enemy Stop the Work God Gave You Greetings Reader Have you ever allowed discouragement to make you question something God called you to do? While Nehemiah and the people rebuilt Jerusalem's wall, Tobiah mocked their work. He claimed that even a fox walking across the wall would cause it to collapse. Think about that for a moment. A fox is incredibly light on its feet. Yet the enemy used an absurd statement to try to discourage God's people and stop their work. The enemy still...
Written In The Lamb's Book Of Life Greetings Reader It has been my goal to write a devotion on each of the Psalms. As I got further into this journey, two things occurred to me. First, there are 150 of them! Second, some of them are much harder to write about than others. Psalm 87 is one of those Psalms. It has no dramatic storyline or obvious crisis. But as I read it, one thing caught my attention: God keeps a record of those who belong to Him. When the Lord registers the nations, he will...
