Psalm 19 has to be one of my top five favorite of the Psalms. It’s one I find myself quoting a lot. How many times have I thought or said, “The heavens declare the glory of the Lord” (v. 1), “The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul” […]
“Son, back in my day…” That’s a phrase I heard my dad tell me often in various ways at the beginning of what I thought at the time were boring old person stories. Now that I’ve said phrases like those to my kids hundreds of times, those stories don’t seem […]
If the Lord allows you to live a long life, what will you be able to tell others about at the end of a lifetime of trusting the Lord? Would you take credit for your accomplishments or give tribute to the Lord? Most commentators believe David wrote this Psalm toward […]
It’s amazing how often we want to receive the benefits without the hard work necessary to achieve them. When my family has traveled to a certain city for vacation, there is a shopping center we like to frequent. And by we, I mean my wife. There are two stores, man […]
1. I’m not perfect.But anyone who knows me already knows that. It’s those who only see me from a distance or hold me on some type of preacher pedestal that will panic when I make a mistake or a decision they don’t agree with. It’s those who know me best […]
I love the GPS on my phone and in my truck. I can say, “I’m hungry”, and it will say, “Well, we can’t have that”, then suggest the closest places and provide directions. That’s what I’m talking about! I’m the kind of driver that needs step by step directions when […]
This is the start of a 31 Day Devotional for men called, “31 Days To Becoming A Proverbs Man”. Hope you enjoy it. There is a big difference in wisdom and knowledge. When my dad taught me to shoot a gun, I learned the basic mechanics of how guns work. […]
While David prayed in other Psalms, this is his first Psalm entitled “a prayer”. There are five prayer Psalms (17, 86, 90, 102, and 142). This Psalm teaches us four great aspects of praying to God: David’s plea for God’s vindication from accusation (vv. 1-5), intercession for protection (vv. 6-9), […]
Do you trust the Lord? Trust, or distrust, is displayed in our actions and words. There are times in any relationship where trust is given freely or withheld begrudgingly. We either trust or we don’t the Lord and what we speak and show are proof of that. Psalm 16 is […]
Psalm 15 begins with two questions that demand an answer, “Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?” That “sacred tent” and “holy mountain” were where David longed to be – in heaven and the Lord’s presence for eternity. Because Jesus is the […]
