The Lord Is Our Strength, Whom Shall We Fear Greetings Reader What assurance do we have that the Lord is with us and will provide us with His strength?

David wrote many of the Psalms that encourage us to worship, praise and trust God through all our circumstances. Psalm 27 focuses not so much on David asking God to get rid of his enemies, but instead that his relationship with the Lord would grow...

Stand Before God And Declare His Praises Greetings Reader Could you stand before God and say the words David wrote in the final verse of Psalm 26? He said, Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise God. David did not live a perfect life. Once, God sent Nathan to David to expose a series of sins that David wanted to keep hidden. Yet, throughout the Psalms, we can read the evidence of David's changed heart. In today's Psalm, the king declared his innocence and the integrity of his...

God Knows You Better Than You Know Yourself Greetings Reader In Psalm 139, David revealed the magnitude of God's presence in our lives. He said God examines the depth of our hearts and knows everything about you and me. This has to be one of the most encouraging Psalms in the Bible.

The fact is, nobody's birth was ever...

He is the only one who can give us entrance to His Father in heaven. Yes, His name is Jesus! I believe you will enjoy today's post. God Bless Robin Click here to read...
