Psalm 119:133 Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me. Let no iniquity gain dominion over me. Not always, Lord, an overtly sinful behavior but very frequently a defect of personality that leads me to be insensitive to to others, to their…
Psalm 2:4-6 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His fury, saying, "As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill." How terrifying Your fury must be…

Psalm 119:125 I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies! Today is a day for understanding as we attend a memorial for an unbeliever. A dear friend from years ago, but without evidence that he walked with You (that we saw or knew). And we…
Psalm 150:1-6 Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!
