“Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.” Psalm 25:5 David was just a youth when Samuel anointed him to be the King of Israel. Perhaps at the time, he did not understand fully what that meant. He went back to looking after his father’s sheep. No doubt he thought often of what the future might hold for him, but in the meantime, he continued to worship the Lord. Probably many of his psalms were written during this time of waiting. They express his great…
“And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.” Genesis 45:7 Joseph was just a youth when God gave him a dream. Not really knowing what it meant, he told his brothers. This made them truly…

“For with God nothing will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37, NKJV) Have you ever prayed for the seemingly impossible? Or did the impossibility of your need keep you from praying? It doesn’t have to.

“And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.” Genesis 13:10-11 When Abraham left to follow the Lord, he had no idea where he would end up. He had taken his nephew Lot along with him. God had promised to give the land to…
The story of Job is an interesting one. It is a story in which God allowed Job to be tested, and despite the voices around him telling him to turn against God to save himself, he refused. Job had great faith. Whatever he endured, he trusted that God would either bless him through it or allow it for a purpose. Job placed himself completely in God’s hands. The verses that stand out to me are these: Job 1:7–10 (KJV)— “And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro…
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 At my age, every day is a blessing from the Lord. I thank Him for the health and strength that He has given me. I thank Him for the confidence that I have that He is with me every day and my future is in His hands. I thank Him for the avenue He has given me to share my thoughts on this site. I thank Him for each one of…
