Relief from Enemy Pursuit
Psalm 9:1-12 Sweet relief! Nothing can feel quite as wonderful as when the pressures of life suddenly lift. It is as if the weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

Majestic
Psalm 8:1-9 Majestic is not a word that we use too much these days. The best example of something majestic is the treatment of the royal family in England.

Waiting for the Outcome
Psalm 7:6-17 One of the most difficult times in life is when you have to wait to find out the results.

Staying Silent
Psalm 4:4-5 It is hard to stay silent when the world is against you. We normally want to defend ourselves, to stand up and fight. In fact, protection is one of the deepest wiring circuits in our brains. Safety bypasses and overrides many other circuits in the brain. When safety and security are soContinue reading “Staying Silent”
Anguish
Psalm 4:1-8 Does your heart ever feel torn when you look around and see the evil that is being done in the world?

There is so much happening inContinue reading “Anguish”
