Psalm 63:1-5 NASB O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better … Continue reading Where There is No Water
For the Gospel’s Progress
I feel this post today needs to go to both of my WordPress blogs, so I am reblogging this from “Run With It” to “Walking Wounded.”
This morning, the Lord Jesus reminded me of a writing he gave me in January of this year, so I went back and read it (1).

See Danger: Take Refuge
Proverbs 22:3-5 NIV The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their life stay far from them. … Continue reading See Danger: Take Refuge
Broken Cord
Last night I sat down with paper, pencil and my Bible, and I inquired of the Lord if he would be pleased to give me a song to write. I had not written any for about 2 years, for I did not have the space needed in order to do that. But, now that he … Continue reading Broken Cord
