Looking Unto Jesus
When we look to The LORD our faces are lightened. They are lit up, we are made to rejoice/be glad. When we behold Jesus Christ, our faces are lightened. We must look at Jesus more often and we will be made glad more often! You will not be filled with sorrow, nor disappointed, nor put …
Grace From Birth
Whether we know it or not, we have been resting upon The LORD since birth. Since we have came out of the womb, we have been resting upon His grace and mercy. Without God's mercy, and without His help, all men are doomed. There is always grace at work, always mercy, though some do not …
In the Face of Enemies
Even in the face of enemies and persecution we can have hope. Even when things aren't going well, hope! Instead of living a life defeated by satan, sin, or the flesh, Praise God more and more, don't let the enemy get a hold of you! David says, "For mine enemies speak against me; and they …
Thinking Upon The LORD
There is a really interesting passage in the Old Testament, which speaks about a certain book called "the book of remembrance;" it reads, "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the …

Gazing Upon Jesus
David was a man who fervently desired to dwell in The LORD's house. It was his chief desire. He says in Psalms 27, "One thing I have desired of The LORD, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of The LORD all the days of my life, to behold the …
Boundaries on the Waters
The Father sets boundaries on our trials and afflictions. He graciously and mercifully does this. David says to God of the waters, "Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth" [Psa 104:9] And The LORD also promises, "When thou passest through the waters, …
Receiving Richness from The Lord
God offers us abundant life. He offers to completely fill us so that we are made rich. Rich in the way a flourishing plant is green/rich/having vigor, not rich as in having wordy wealth. The LORD offers us this richness, this fatness, for free! "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and …
