Psalm 139:17-18 “How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you.” My wife and I have a wonderful marriage. We spend every free second together. And when we are apart, I know she is thinking of me. She texts me pictures of whatever she is doing so that I can share it with her. One of the things that my wife loves is when I…

A Word or Two from the Word - Psalm 139:1
Psalm 139:1 “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.” One of our greatest needs is to be known. The intimacy of being fully known. Nothing to hide. Not holding anything back. So close that you complete each others thoughts. Not needing to say a word when you are together because you know what the other would say before they say anything. Words like together, friendship, love, soul mate, and forever come to mind. That kind of relationship doesn’t just happen. It takes time. It takes an investment. It…
A Word or Two from the Word - Psalm 145:12
Psalm 145:12 “so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.” Why does God do what He does? So that all people may know.

Why does God listen to unbelievers? “So that all the…
A Word or Two from the Word - Psalm 145:9
Psalm 145:9 “The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.” The Lord is good to all. And all means all. There is no one that can say that God hasn’t been good to them. They might not see it. They might not accept that it is from God. They might not feel like God has been good to them. But He has. He is good to all. I know some of us are struggling right now with being able to see God’s goodness in…
A Word or Two from the Word - Psalm 145:3
Psalm 145:3 “Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.” How great is our God? Is there any way to measure His greatness? There are no words that adequately express just how great He is. He is the creator of all things. “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” John 1:3. He sustains all things. “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his…
