WAITING FOR GOD TO ACT | Psalm 40

Have you noticed that God's timing often does not coincide with our timing, so that we often find ourselves waiting?

LIVING IN GOD’S BLESSING | Numbers 6

 

Do you ever wonder why I begin every one of these conversations with the Lord be with you? Well, I do it because that is the Bible's way of blessing someone.

WHEN GOD SEEMS FAR AWAY | Psalm 61:1-3

I am so grateful to my mother, who was the first person to introduce me to the book of Psalms.
