Hi everyone, my new book ‘Shelter in the Storm: 40 Psalms on God’s Faithfulness’ releases on September 1st and I’m hoping you’ll join the launch team to help get the message into more people’s hands and hearts. A supportive launch team is the catalyst for a chain reaction of people discovering the book, and Lord willing, being shaped and transformed by it as they spend devotional time with God.
Psalm 45 Devotional – Jesus the King and Husband
Let’s use Hebrews 1:8-9 as our guide and let this psalm remind us of the beautiful, romantic love that Jesus has for each of us, and the love and commitment we have pledged back to Jesus.
Psalm 44 Devotional – Waiting for the Hero
According to the psalmist, Israel hadn’t broken her end of the deal. “But you crushed us…” But you crushed us anyway. But God was breaking his end…
Psalm 43 Devotional – Why, my soul, are you downcast?
This world will be full of problems and struggle. We can go through it with an unbiblical view that God is always going to make everything perfect (and if he doesn’t, we reject him). Or we can go through it with God giving us his strength. With finding joy in our salvation and keeping our hope in God’s ultimate victory over sin and death.
Psalm 42 Devotional – Panting for water that isn’t there
essens here, doesn’t it? We know this is the direction of the psalmist because he tells us in verse 3 where he has in fact been getting his water from: his tears. His tears have been his food day and night, with God nowhere in sight. God’s absence is noticeable even to those around him as people taunt him, asking him where his God is, in the midst of his pain.
Psalm 41 Devotional – Mercy: The Greatest Gift
The gift again is mercy. The prayer is that we might experience the riches of God’s mercy. Mercy produces joy and gratitude, despite our circumstances. Our circumstances might not change, but we can always have incredible joy and gratitude that we have been given God’s merciful love instead of the wrath that we deserve.
