A Mountain of Love
"Thy righteousness is like the great mountains..." [Psalms 36:6a] Imagine a single mountain towering past the international space station, a mountain whose peak extends over two million feet, over 900,000 meters into the sky into the exosphere of the earth. It would be quite a sight to see, an absolutely massive and powerful presence no …
Exceedingly Near
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? [Psa 22:1] These words, written by David many thousands of years ago, were not just his words. They were, in fact, the words of Jesus, who would utter them from His …
Sojourning in Sin
We should not be sojourning in a place which is destined for judgment. The Psalms say, "Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!" Kedar is a place whereupon The LORD pronounced judgment. He said, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all …
Walking in The Way
"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of The LORD." [Psalms 119:1] Blessed are those who are in the path of God's word, who follow that way. What a wonderful statement this is! Yes, we may slip from time to time or lose the path, but what path are we …
“Repaying” The Lord
Of course we cannot repay The Lord for what He has done for us, and Jesus doesn't expect us to: He didn't save us so that we could repay Him. Paul says that what Jesus has accomplished for us through salvation is God's "unspeakable gift." As Jacob said in Genesis, truly, "[we are] not worthy …
The LORD Delights in Our Hope
It can be tempting to feel discouraged because we have "failed" God or to get down on ourselves when we don't perform, but I think that God has a very different view of us in these moments. After all, The Lord chose us for Himself before the foundation of the world, which means He already …
A Thousand Times Better
The best place in the world to be is in God's presence: we should be continually seeking this out. David tells us that being in God's presence is the chief thing he desired in life; saying, "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the …
Faithful to Hear
God is a wonderful Father. He is never too busy for us, and is always welcoming us to pray to Him. In fact, this is one quality of God's faithfulness toward us and His righteousness. David says, "Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy …
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 …
