Psalm 23 is probably the most read and memorized Psalm of all time. At a funeral this past week I was meditating on the words, "Even though I walk through the valley of death," and it seemed to me that David is not only addressing his current situation of running for...

Psalm 131 is a reminder that our Heavenly Father invites us to come sit on His lap and stop worrying about all the troubles of the world - to cuddle and snuggle. It gives us a very intimate look at how our Heavenly Father sees us. Psalm 116 also picks up this theme...

Psalm 27 tells us that in the days of trouble, our Heavenly Father will hide us in his pavilion. The Hebrew word for that is suc and the plural of that is succot. We are in Florida with people from all over the USA who have come together to celebrate the Feast of...

As I record this episode, it is the day of Yom Kippur. the Day of Atonement, or the Day of Covering. The literal meaning of Kippur is "the hand the covers the mouth of the accuser." We all know who the accuser is - hasatan. He is ever in our face accusing us of our...

We have returned from India - Thank you all for your prayers. While journeying, we were taught many lessons on waiting for our Heavenly Father to work His plan. That brought me to Psalm 25, where David encourages us in our waiting to not give up or think that YHVH is...

Psalm 107 uses the sailors who go down to the sea in ships as an illustration of how our Heavenly Father can bring us through the rough waters of life. There are many lessons we can learn from the sea and sailing. Navigation with a compass that must be set properly on...

Psalm 89 is a reminder of how trustworthy our Heavenly Father is. Sometimes He needs to discipline us when we step out of line, but it is not out of meanness, but rather He is trying to get our attention so that He can get us back on the right track. The text invites...

In this time of great political divide, friends are leaving friends, and this is a sad state of affairs. In Psalm 55, David speaks of a friend that he used to have sweet fellowship with who turned on him and became an enemy. How does this happen? Yashua/Jesus told us...

The subject of the Hebrew meaning of blood (???? - "dahm" in Hebrew) came up in a conversation this past week, so I decided to see what David had to say about blood in the Psalms. Psalm 72 tells us that the blood of the righteous is precious in the site of our...

Psalm 50 tells us that our Heavenly Father is faithful to His covenant. He says that if we will follow his ways presented in His covenant, He will show us his favor. He even says that if we are in trouble, He will come to our rescue. But there is a little word there...

In a world of turmoil, it's fitting for us to turn to Psalm 33 where David reminds us that nothing is going to happen that isn't under our Heavenly Father's watchful eye. It goes on to remind us that the plans of men will not succeed against our Father's plans. He...

In Florida this week, we have been experiencing a lot of thunder. This brought my attention to Psalm 29 where David assures us that the thundering we hear is the voice of our Heavenly Father. At the end of Psalm 29, David tells us that we can have Shalom in the midst...
