I Delight to Do Your Will
“I delight to do Your will, O my God;
Your Law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8 NASB1995)
This seems to be the day for personal reflection and for application of biblical truth to my own personal life. Where to begin?
On 9/17/2025 at 12:30 a.m. I began to experience...
“I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will...
“Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your...
“An angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
A man’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
He who is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
He hears the oath but tells nothing.
The fear of man brings a snare,
But he who trusts in...
“Thus says the Lord,
‘Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes flesh his strength,
And whose heart turns away from the Lord.
For he will be like a bush in the desert
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A land of salt without...
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!’
3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with His...
“When you sit down to dine with a ruler,
Consider carefully what is before you,
And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.
Do not desire his delicacies,
For it is deceptive food.”
“Do not eat the bread of a selfish man,
Or desire his delicacies;
For as he thinks within...
My Refuge and My Fortress
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!’” (Psalm 91:1-2 NASB1995)
If we, who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, dwell...
“For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the...
The times we live in, they are crazy,
The truth of things, it can be hazy.
So don’t be slothful, don’t be lazy,
For so much now is pretty shady.
So be discerning, much need tested,
Be careful now in what invested.
Don’t listen all to what suggested,
But truth of things be what requested.
The...

“Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh” (Philippians 3:2-3 NIV).
In context, the situation was that there were Judaizers...
“Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.
Some boast in chariots and some in horses,
But we will boast in the name of the Lord, our God.
They have bowed down and fallen,
But we have risen and stood upright...
Confusing times with ins and outs
Are causing many folks to doubt
What they have always held as truth
From times now past when they were youth.
Emotions raging high these days
With many angry, others praise,
With life now changing every day,
Not knowing what will go or stay.
So much is now up...
So, fearing God is one thing,
It’s a thing we ought to do.
It shows respect and honor,
Which to Him is surely due.
But fear of man we do not,
For our Lord takes care of us.
Fear says to God, our Savior,
That in Him we do not trust.
If we believe in Jesus,
We should rest in Him secure.
The...
Life today is so uncertain.
Who’s the man behind the curtain?
Do you know him, know him really?
Or think you know him, love him dearly?
Trust in his words, think they’ll help you?
Think he’s God’s man, come to rescue?
Are you sure he’s not the devil?
Behind the mask will come all evil?
Bible...
In God [is] my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, [And] my refuge, [is] in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God [is] a refuge for us. Selah Psalm 62:7-8 NKJV
What does it feel like to trust in God always to the point that your honor...
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede. Genesis 8:1 NLT
If Noah had been interviewed by Gallup on issues of morality and godliness, he would have found himself completely...
