Steadfast Love
“It is He who remembered us in our low estate,
for His steadfast love endures forever;
and rescued us from our foes,
for His steadfast love endures forever;” (Psalm 136:23-24)
Steadfast love. A love that is not easily moved, that does not change based on feelings or circumstances. A love that is constant and faithful. A love that is present when…
Wait for the Lord
“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I hope;” (Psalm 130:5)
Waiting can be difficult. And I think sometimes we make it look easy to others, but on the inside we are struggling. Waiting is not just a saying, but it’s a personal decision we make that we show through our daily actions. In this Psalm, the writer mentions that…

How many times, I wonder, we have sought after God’s hand instead of His heart. And God is a good God and He answers. But there is more. He is inviting us to know Him, to delight in Him, to desire to…
The Cry for Mercy
“To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy….You turned my wailing into dancing; You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy; that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise You forever.” (Psalm 30:8, 11-12)
Cry out to the Lord. This is the message that resounds from this Psalm. Cry out to the Lord when the enemy comes against you. Cry out to Him…
