Take Refuge in God
on November 1st, 2020
I trust in the LORD for protection.So why do you say to me, "Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!The wicked are stringing their bows . . . They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right.The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?"But the LORD is in His Holy Temple; the LORD still rules from Heaven.. . . The LORD examines both the righteous and ... Read More
God Helps The Fatherless

Why, LORD, do you stand afar off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises . . . Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God.Do not forget the helpless.Why does the wicked man revile God?Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider th...

Shun Evil

The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves.The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads. (Psalm 7:14-16 NLT).

Wait In Expectation
on October 27th, 2020
Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. . . .
