  • Psalm 16:2

    I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." The idea is simple: With God, I have everything. Without Him, I have nothing. Without God, I may have things, but I have no good th…

  • Quiet times with my baby

    I'm starting to have quiet times with my baby in the mornings. I've been reading psalms to her and teaching her what it means and praying with her. It occurred to me this morning as I prayed for her what a wonderful th…

  • Simplicity and Freedom

    Simplicity is freedom. It brings joy and balance and sets us free from anxiety. The Christian discipline of simplicity is an inward reality that results in an outward lifestyle. It begins with living out what Thomas K…

    Scriptural translation and meditation of the week - Psalm 62:1-2 Verse 1 אַךְ אֶל-אֱלֹהִים , דּוּמִיָּה נַפְשִׁי; מִמֶּנּוּ, יְשׁוּעָתִי. -Surely, (this is nothing other than the truth that) with God -my soul is in r…

  • Follow vs. Pursue

    On Sunday, we sang a worship song with lyrics made up of the words to Psalm 23. Because I spent hours and hours translating this psalm and exegeting it for my final paper in Hebrew, I was 'slightly' bowled over by the d…

  • We will not fear

    Meditating on Psalm 46 today and feel surprised that the psalmist is able to declare that "though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea," we don't need to be afraid. But aren't those things…
