You were on His mind Your thoughts toward us outnumber the sand of the sea! (Psalm 139:17-18) Before the foundations of the world were made (built) You were on His mind (and in His heart). The sparkle, the twinkle, the gleam in His eyes… You were the apple of His eye. He was already planning and preparing, Your place to be with Him. To belong to Him and be His child. The child of His heart, the child of His love… The child whom He would sacrifice everything for. To nurture an

You and I were created in His own image. What an incredible thought! How many times have we heard the words spoken, “You look just like your mom or just like your dad”? We were created in “His own image” Imagine that. Of all the things He could have chosen, He chose for us to be like Him. How profound is that? That alone is praise-worthy. That alone is worth pondering. Openly and endlessly, it speaks volumes about the heart of God, and His desire for us to know Him. When you

When I close my eyes to pray I see You standing in our midst. I see You looking With compassion and love… Your heart is open Your ear bent down, Your arms reaching out To pull me close, I feel Your presence near me. When I close my eyes I see with my heart… The beauty of Your character. When I close my eyes I see myself In Your presence. I am known And I am loved. I see Your sacrifice And all You gave to me. I see the One who Created everything And all eternity… When I close

You will find Me beside the gentle waters and quiet streams... In those alone times when others are absent In a soft spoken voice, hidden deep in your heart When you slow down and pause to reflect… In the far corners of your heart you will hear a tender word. When you wait I will reply. When you seek, I will be found. When you listen your treasure will be profound. Strength in the Stillness True strength does not look like rushing or striving. As Isaiah reminds us, our deepes

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count. (Psalm 40:5) This is my bit of comfort for the day. “Many are the wonders … and Your thoughts toward us… They would be too numerous to count.” The fact that I would be on God’s mind at all is truly humbling, and leaves me bewildered and dumbfounded. And for His thoughts toward me to

Though I cannot know… He knows. “When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path in the way where I walk.” (Psalm 142:3) You are “intimately acquainted with all my ways” (Psalm 139:3). He is intimately acquainted with our pain and suffering; with every affliction and sorrow, and every single tear you and I have cried. He has felt them too. He is familiar with all your ways; with every struggle, challenge, and battle you’ve faced or are facing now. “He knows the way

“And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” (John 17:5) “With the glory which I had with You before the world was.” Wow! This is so incredibly profound to ponder. Imagine all that Jesus has experienced, leaving Heaven and coming to earth. Everything from the womb to the tomb, And everything in between. Can you imagine being the Creator of the Universe, and of all things, coming to live inside the one you cr

“The earth is the LORD’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers.” (Psalms 24:1-2) What truly majestic power And authority God has. Is anything too hard for Him Or beyond His reach? Oh, how it boggles the mind (and heart) to grasp the depths of this. The profound sovereignty of God, The total magnitude of all that rests In His care; The full spectrum, scope And range of H

“How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.

“The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night.” (Psalm 42:8) It is interesting to think about all the things the Lord “Commands”. He commands the physical attributes of the universe, and all their elements … the wind, the rain the waves and the sea; The Sun to rise and set. He holds the world in His hands; The Earth spins without an axel, suspended upon nothing - or without a physically visible support. He rules an

“The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night.” (Psalm 42:8). The Lord walks beside us throughout our days, and is present with us throughout the night. Sovereignly, directing our path in love. Carefully watching over us in gentleness, and strength. Patiently loving us through. Working in ways we have yet to fully see, Or imagine. Faithfully never leaving our side. Showering us with His kindness and goodness. Lea

“Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.” (John 15:9). “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” (Psalm 91:1-2) God’s love is: our dwelling place and home forever. His love is our never ending refuge we live in every day. Where we find shelter, protection, and love for every pain, trial, grief, and hardship

Have you ever wished you could sit down in person with Jesus and just talk? To listen to His reassuring words, and hear Him say it’s...

“The heavens are telling of the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1) Imagine all those wonderful stars shining so brightly on a dark night. The vastness of the galaxies; The planets in their orbit, light-years away. “Heavens” is plural. 2 Corinthians 12:2 speaks of Paul being caught up into the third heaven. Every time man makes a new discovery about the universe, it is only a mere scratch on the surface compared to all that God has made in the heavens. Yet what we can see and do kn
