About 15 years ago our heavenly Father began encouraging me in my role as His son and out of that in my role as a father, both biologically and spiritually. Through multiple encounters on my journey God has revealed His heart as my Father and affirmed my sonship in Him. Out of this has come His call to fully embrace who He has created me to be as a father and to share that with others.
*This week’s blog is only in a written format. There will be a video and written blog again next week.* Today we continue to be challenged by the wisdom in the Psalms. The first two verses of Psalm 127 describe many of us when we have our priorities misaligned. We run to and fro, giving…
*This week’s blog is only in a written format.* Today we continue to glean from the depth of wisdom found in the Psalms. Psalm 90 starts out with, “Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.” Another way to say that is, “God, you are our home. Wherever you are, when we are…
*This week’s blog is only in a written format.* Today we jump into Psalm 68. Here David calls on God to “Arise, scatter His enemies, and drive them away like smoke.” Two days ago, we had smoke here in Salt Lake City, Utah from fires in Idaho that are almost 300 miles away. And then…
*This week’s blog is only in a written format.* Today we jump into Psalm 63. When David wrote this Psalm he was in a physical wilderness. He was in a “dry and thirsty land.” He uses this as a metaphor for the longing of his soul. In the second half of verse 1 David says,…
*This week’s blog is only in a written format.* In Psalm 119 we have an example of doing everything we can to make God’s Word memorable and accessible. In this chapter we are challenged to “Hide God’s word in our heart.” No matter what season of life we are in, this is important! In the…
Thank you for joining us for our series in the Psalms. Today we see David’s wrestling with sin, confession, and seeking to be clean again. The Bible tells us that David was a man after God’s own heart. But unfortunately in the midst of his fame and glory as a king David didn’t guard his…
Today we continue our series by diving into Psalms 42 and 43. In both of these Psalms David speaks to his soul. He asks his soul this question “Why so downcast, O my soul?” He essentially says, “Why are you so bummed out? Then he commands his soul, “Hope in God.” We are a three…
Today we continue our series by diving into Psalm 34. It starts off with a declaration, “I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” One of the ways we ‘bless’ God is by recognizing and proclaiming who He is and by thanking Him for all of His…
Today we continue our series by diving into Psalm 32. Here we see the emotions and passion that flow from David’s heart as he wrestles with being open about his sin to God. David jumps in and says that whoever knows their sin is forgiven is blessed. Aren’t you grateful today that your sins are…
Today we continue our series by diving into Psalm 27. Verse 1a: The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom I shall I fear? I like to walk at night. . .sometimes I experience God’s peace, but sometimes it is a little eerie. But it only takes a little bit of light from my…
