Your salvation is a victory over the enemy; your chains are gone, you’ve been set free! Even when you are experiencing what you consider the worst, you have reason to be full of joy, to dance and sing; you are triumphant because of Jesus. 

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. Psalms 149:3

Not only are you victorious, but you are equipped with praises and a two-edged sword. According to Hebrews, the word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword, sharp and able to cut between the souls and spirit, joint and marrow, and He knows the intentions of the heart. The writer of Hebrews must have been well-versed in the scriptures, as evidenced by their reference to Psalms 149:6.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; Psalms 149:6

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

So, remember, God knows your heart, and no matter the challenges you might be facing, you are a winner, and victory is yours through Jesus Christ, our Lord!

Who are commanded to praise God? We know that we are to praise Him, but who or what else? There are a couple of things in Psalms 148 that many don’t believe in; do we pick apart what the Bible says and only believe what we want to believe, or should we believe it in its entirety? Scripture is God-breathed, so we should believe every word of it, but perhaps we shouldn’t believe the lies the enemy tries to perpetrate that invalidate what it says. The point of this psalm is for everything to praise God, which includes the waters above and dragons! 

That’s not all it talks about, but because we’ve been led to believe that dragons don’t exist or were only fairy tales, I decided to mention them. We can see examples of dragons, except they are small, lizards, iguanas, and Komodo dragons are a few examples. The Bible doesn’t mention dinosaurs; here’s a thought: maybe the skeletons we’ve seen that scientists call dinosaurs are actually dragons. 

But wait, there’s more! The waters above are to praise God! If there is water above us, and it is alive, able to glorify God, how is it possible that we have rockets go into outer space? We must start questioning the narrative and begin to believe what God has told us, rather than the fog of lies the enemy is trying to deceive us with. I could go on, especially considering that water is alive, but I’ve given you enough to think about for one day. Question everything! The truth is in the scripture; everything else should be subjected to your discernment. 

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Psalms 148:4-7

October 13, 2025

Put your trust in God alone. He is the One who appoints kings and governments, whether they are good or bad. I believe some governments may be placed to help us realize that God alone is in control. When you think that things are finally turning around and we begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel, remember, Jesus is that light. When the wheat is threshed and the tares are separated, which we can see happening in real time, we know our redemption is near. While we wait, continue to praise God and thank Him for your salvation. There is no sweeter gift than what our Savior has given us. Do you remember the song we sang as children? If you went to Sunday school, you probably sang it. Even as an adult, we should sing that song every day. 

Praise ye the Lord, hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord, hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord, Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. Psalms 146:1-3

October 12, 2025

As we approach the conclusion of the Book of Psalms, we can see that those who compiled them were intentional in their order and listened carefully to the Holy Spirit as he guided them in their placement. The previous five chapters were psalms of prayer, followed by six psalms of praise to finish out the book. If the Psalms were a story of our life and we were in our final days, like the Psalms, our life should be filled with prayer and praise as a precursor or practice of what is to come in the afterlife. Worshipping and praising God is not hard; as a matter of fact, it is the easiest thing we can do, and it comes naturally to those who love Him. 

One of my favorite places to be is the beach. When I am there, I can immerse myself in God's presence and offer Him heartfelt and unhindered praise. Something about the waves crashing, the vastness of the sea, the birds freely skimming the waters, that helps me open my heart to Him. Whether it is your prayer closet, the forest, or, like me, the beach, find a place where you can concentrate on Him and give Him what He desires, our complete, unencumbered attention, where we open our hearts in prayer and praise to the One who holds our entire existence in His hands. Whatever is in your heart should be outwardly expressed, or it is not the truth. He deserves every ounce of worship we can utter. Make Him the center of your life, and everything else will fall into place. 

The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; Psalms 145:9-11

October 11, 2025

If you are like me, your idea of who God is depends on what’s going on in your life. Some days, He’s a comforting Father holding you in His arms and quieting your spirit within you. Other days, He’s a fierce warrior, standing with you, helping you fight, and encouraging you when you are in the midst of battles. If you’re not running to Him for every occasion, how do you manage this life? I can’t help it; whether dealing with family or foe, crying out to Him in troubled times is automatic. Does he come to mind when you’re being crushed? Are you including Him in both the good times and the trying times? Share every part of your life with Him; He’s waiting for your attention and expecting you to come to Him for help. He is our rock and fortress, our shield and high tower; no one is more available than He is. Make Him your first thought when the arrows fly, whether friendly fire or enemy combatants. He wants to be our go-to for everything. People whose God is the Lord are the happiest; I can attest to that truth.

A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! orthe son of man, that thou makest account of him! Psalms 144:1-3

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. Psalms 144:15

October 10, 2025

God is your source for everything. David, who was on the run, likely absconding from Saul, hid in a cave. His friends had abandoned him, and he had no human to turn to for comfort, so, knowing where his help comes from, he turned to God. We sometimes find ourselves in need of support, but it is not always convenient or even appropriate for us to reach out to others for help. Even if we did, most people have their own problems to deal with and are not always available. There was a time when, like David, I felt abandoned by my friends, church people, and my only help came from the Lord. But know this, there wasn’t anyone who could have helped me the way God did. Don’t wait until you are at your lowest; solidify a relationship with the Almighty now, so that if ever there comes a time when your friends fail you, know that you will never find a friend who has all the resources God has. 

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou artmy refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Psalms 142:3-5

October 9, 2025

As a Christ follower, you have more enemies now than when you were of the world. Traps are set, just waiting for you to make a wrong move so they can blast your impropriety all over social media in the hopes of embarrassing God. When David was running from Saul, he prayed that he wouldn't fall into a trap; we should also pray that God will keep us out of the enemy's traps. Not only that, but David asked God to help him keep control of his own mouth; we would all do well to pray that way, too. Things aren't always going to go our way, but if we stay in touch with God and voice our concerns to Him, He will hear us and send His hedge of protection. Remember, every day is renewed and another chance to walk upright and in righteousness, reach out to God as often as you should, and ask Him to incline His ear to hear your request for His intervention and protect you from the enemy's snare.

But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. Psalms 141:8-10

October 8, 2025

When we honor God and put Him at the top of our list, we can count on His protection. That doesn't mean things won't go wrong, but it does mean that because your heart and soul belong to Him, He will preserve them. When we reach out to God with our request, it's okay to ask that our enemy receive what they justly deserve. David poured out his heart in prayers and songs for God's intervention, and he wasn't afraid to pray condemnation upon those who sought to destroy him. 

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Psalms 140:10

Is it vengeance to pray like that? We are not seeking revenge of our own, but asking God to take control and help us to break free from our enemy's stronghold. When Satan is driving someone, I believe it is our duty to seek God and ask him to alter the course of events and surround us with his fortress. 

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. Psalms 140:4

October 7, 2025

Spending a weekend with my daughters and having quality time with them made me realize that our children keep a lot from us. They told me stories of situations they’ve been in that you wouldn’t wish anyone to go through. You can never protect your children enough, so for those who criticize helicopter parents, you should probably zip it! We must never stop praying for them; when we turn them loose in the world, our only hope is for God’s protection. Tell them about Jesus, teach them His ways, so that when they are in situations that we cannot control, we can be assured that God will cover their hearts, rendering any damage done to them powerless, because their strength comes from Him. I know it seems weird, but we should praise Him for whatever happens to us, whether good or bad, because those experiences shape us into an image of beauty. Imagine never being challenged and having an easy life; how could we ever feel God rejoicing over us with singing when He scoops us into His arms and comforts us after we fall? If every day were just roses and butterflies, we might not love Him the way we do. One day it will be roses and butterflies, but we will have already decided to love Him with all our hearts, and He will take us to live with Him for eternity. 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. Psalms 138:7-8

October 6, 2025

It is essential that we remember the trials and tribulations from our past and worship and praise God for our deliverance from evil. Psalms 137 is in memory of the captivity in Babylon. Through this song, we can understand the difficulties faced by the children of Israel, who were exiled there, and their captors pressing them to sing to them a sacred song meant for worshipping God! 

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. Psalms 137:3

It is also a reminder that even though they settled in as servants of the Babylonians, they were still treated harshly and endured disturbing atrocities, as noted by the end of this psalm, where they seem to expect God’s vengeance upon the Babylonians by treating their babies the way their children had been treated; it paints a horrific image.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Psalms 137:9

Although our country appears to be all about freedom, we must wonder who is truly free. It seems to me that the only ones free are the vile that run rampant. Who really is the Statue of Liberty, as seen with its chain broken off its foot? With my eyes wide open, I see a man who looks an awful lot like several paintings I’ve seen depicting Satan. History is not what we’ve been told. I concur with the captives of Babylon and wait patiently for the vengeance on those who claim we have freedom while continuing to press us down with heavy weights. 

To end this devotional on a positive note, we look to God for our freedom and find it within ourselves through the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who lifts our countenance and reminds us of the goodness of God’s grace. Find your freedom in Jesus, who sets us free from all the hostility of this world and leads us into the promised land of eternal life with him as King and conqueror over all evil. 

October 5, 2025

My daughters and I took a weekend trip to Atlanta to visit my niece and her family and to attend her baby shower. We visited the High Museum, which is filled with sculptures, old paintings, and even some contemporary art. We were exposed to some very dark art where some of the artists’ minds were clearly on brutal violence. I found it very interesting that there was no art dated before the 1700s, which came from all over the world, not just America; in fact, even the American artists were from other countries. We were exhausted by the time we left, which leads me to believe that there was some type of demonic oppression lying over that place. After a few minutes away from there, we all started feeling more refreshed. As the veil begins to thin and truth is exposed, you realize that the enemy has a strong delusion draped over our world. However, God is in control, and His mercy endures forever. We ended our day spending time with family and enjoying the love and energy of my precious two-year-old nephew, who kept us on our toes as we chased after him at a street festival. Sometimes we must endure the hardships of the world to truly appreciate God’s wonderful blessings. His mercy truly does endure forever.

Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 136:23-26

October 4, 2025

Jesus said, “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” The Pharisees had told Jesus that he should rebuke his disciples because they were praising him, and that was his response. It is our honor and duty to worship our King and Savior. Psalms 135 was thought to have been written by Solomon for the dedication of the temple. We could learn a thing or two from those who have gone before us and how to worship. 

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.  Psalms 135:1

Remember, not only is praising God through singing an act of worship, but so is your dedication to seeking Him and learning His ways. Praying, studying, reading, and sharing the gospel with others is an act of worship. The more time you spend honoring God and his call on your life, the more blessed you will be. Commit to spending a part of your day acknowledging God through your dedication to Him.  

October 3, 2025

My four-year-old niece sits with me in church. We go to a Baptist church, and most of the people are afraid to raise their hands to worship the Lord. We sing a few hymns, and then we are blessed by others using their music and voices to praise and worship God. That baby is not shy when it comes to worship; when that music begins, she may be the only one lifting her hands, but her little heart reaches up to God in unencumbered worship. She’s seen her nana lift her hands, but even when she’s not, Ari will worship like no one is watching. Psalms 134 seems to be written for those priests who had the night watch and are encouraged not to spend it idly, but for them to use their time worshipping and praying. If you are ever awakened during the wee hours of the night, use that time to lift your hands in worship and talk to our Heavenly Master. When in church and collectively worshipping, don’t be afraid to lift your hands to worship; remember Ari, who is merely a child and not embarrassed to worship the Lord with all her heart.

A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. Psalms 134:1-3

October 2, 2025

Pray for peace amongst the citizens of our country. We should stand together hand in hand in love. As we unify, committed to loving and worshipping Jesus, we should pity those whose minds are warped by the enemy and his evil deeds. Surely they don’t realize that they are a tool of Satan and have been overtaken and possessed by his cronies. There are too many people thinking that evil is good, so much so that they even inflict their own bodies to prove their opinion, and sometimes pay dearly with their life or even the life of their child. I have little hope for them, but God is capable of changing the minds of these lunatics, softening their hearts and removing from them the poison that is polluting their thinking. It will take an act of God because they are so committed to their ridiculous cause that only the Almighty can break through that sort of evil. Otherwise, like in the Old Testament, the ground could swallow them. David spoke of having peace in his family and penned Psalms 133.

A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Psalms 133:1-3

October 1, 2025

The Ark of the Covenant had been kept in the tabernacle for years, but was only a temporary shelter. David had received the specification from God for the building of the temple, but he wasn’t the one to build it; God gave that honor to Solomon. Solomon vowed that he wouldn’t rest until he saw the completion of God’s permanent shelter. It seems that Solomon may have written Psalms 132 as a prayer or song for the dedication of the temple. He reminds God of His promise to David that he would always have a son sitting on the throne. That promise has not failed, because even to this day, a King of the house of David sits on the throne —a permanent King, Jesus. We can all be thankful that our King is not a tyrant, but understands our plight and loves us so much that He covered our transgression and paid the price for our guilt and disobedience. Jesus is the only King we need. Worship him with all your heart and thank him for being our King of Kings.

The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. Psalms 132:11

September 30, 2025

Have you ever had one of those moments where a child tries to educate you? Parents of teenagers know what I'm talking about; they seem to know everything. I showed an apartment to a student from a local Bible institute. I told her that I was also a Christian, so she didn't feel the need to evangelize me; students of that school can be pretty aggressive. I don't remember how we got on the subject, but we began talking about Judgment Day. For some reason, she thought that Christ-followers also needed to worry about that day, along with the unsaved. I explained to her that it would be like a reward ceremony for us, but she disagreed. It was in that moment that I wanted to give her my credentials, but the Holy Spirit quieted me, so I held back. When she realized that she wasn't making any headway with me, she googled it. She started reading aloud, and before she realized it, Google had just proved what I said, even though she still didn't believe it. I didn't crush her spirit; I gave her the study tool I use and wished her well in her studies. We both agreed to dig into it a little more. I hope that the school is not teaching its students a lie and that God has sent her to me to help her understand the truth. The ball is in her court, and now it's up to her to prove me right by trying to prove me wrong. Here is the psalm that fits that situation, and it is the next one on my list to cover. I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted to!

A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. Psalms 131:1-3

September 29, 2025

God has given us a set of standards, a compass to live by. However, we are fallible and likely to break those standards every day, sometimes knowingly and other times unknowingly. The Holy Spirit will let us know by pressing us and pricking our hearts, so that we feel God’s disappointment and are enticed to confess and repent. You might have to face the consequences of your actions, but because Jesus has already paid for our sins, we don’t have to face God’s eternal wrath. He is a good and loving Father who desires us to love Him, so He is quick to pardon our sin. If you feel a tug on your heart that you might have done something offensive to God, reach out to Him with all your heart. He loves you and will forgive you, because He is good. If you are at a loss for how to begin, try reciting the words of Psalm 130. These words will help you get started and are beautifully arranged, so not only will they suffice for repentance, but they also reach to the depths of your soul and offer a meaningful way to express yourself to God. 

A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. Psalms 130:1-5

September 28, 2025

For those who are like me and scheme vengeance when someone does them wrong, this is the psalm for you. Psalms 129 gives teeth to our prayers for our enemies and the enemies of the Lord. We’ve been too careful of condemning certain factions when Jesus himself called them out. 

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are J*ws, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Revelation 3:9

There are usurpers of the name Isra*l, and we have been hoodwinked into protecting the ones Jesus calls blood vipers, and it seems that now we have become slaves to them. I agree that we should protect those who are of the true lineage and love and protect them, but the ones who have taken on their name and were sent by Satan himself, we should not be calling them good, because they are the oppressors and are in disguise. Here is where this psalm comes in: we are not to recklessly bless those who are against our Savior. They cunningly set a trap; don’t fall into it. Save your blessings for those you know love God. Because we have faith in Jesus, we are adopted into his kingdom, and his blood places us squarely within that lineage. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ; they are the ones to whom we should give the salutation of “God bless you.”

The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. Psalms 129:4-5

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. Psalms 129:8

September 27, 2025

We absolutely love having our family together to such an extent that we devise plans to entice them to gather with us. We’ve had a lot going on and have missed a few birthday gatherings, so we decided to do a combined party to celebrate several at once. It really is just a ploy to be near our children and grandchildren. One thing we’ve all enjoyed lately is Bingo. A local establishment occasionally hosts a Bingo night for charity, and we invite our family to join us. However, it’s always on a school night, so our younger grandsons have to get to bed early. As a compromise, we decided to obtain the necessary materials for a home Bingo game and provide all the prizes. What’s better than a game with tacos and birthday cake? Did you know that God considers children and grandchildren a blessing? God also says that enjoying the fruits of your labor leads to happiness. Work is exhausting, and raising children can be difficult, but it’s worth every minute of toil; I can attest to that, being that I’m beyond that stage of life. Work hard, play hard, and put God at the center of everything, and you will live long and prosper.

A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall beas a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Psalms 128:1-3

September 26, 2025

Even though we face the heavy burden of taxes and working our fingers to the bone with little reward, what awaits us is true freedom. The children of Jacob had such a time as this when they came out of the captivity in Babylon, rejoicing and praising the Lord. Even then, there were still some left there that hadn’t been released, so they offered up prayers for them. It sounds very familiar to being saved through Jesus, and wanting so much for our family and friends to feel that freedom. Living under the stress of a structured environment such as we have can make us wonder what the purpose of all of this is, but when you have a relationship with Jesus, you can see the reason for our existence because we were made to love and cherish God, and to guide others to see Him in His true light, the Father of all creation, a compassionate being, wanting nothing more that our love and for us to love others. Jesus told us that loving God and loving others is the culmination of the law and the prophets. Such a commandment may seem very simple until you meet people who don’t follow those simple rules; that’s why He gave us instructions on how to overcome adversity through the words recorded in the Bible. Eventually, with our prayers and God’s grace, they will feel the kind of love and freedom that only God can give. Rejoice today using the word of this sweet song, lifting your voice to God and praising Him because He is worthy of all honor and glory.

A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalms 126:1-6

If you read this far, give yourself a hand; you read an entire chapter of the Bible today. 

September 25, 2025

The promises of God are trustworthy and true. Psalms 125 gives us three promises that we can count on:

1. Those who trust in the Lord will live forever. We know this is true because Jesus bought and paid for our lives through his sacrifice. “They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.” Psalms 125:1
2. Though we may go through trials, we are surrounded by God’s fortress of protection. “As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. Psalms 125:2
3. Our troubles will not last forever. “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.” Psalms 125:3

Keep your eye focused on the Lord; turning away from Him toward wickedness comes with a caveat: He will count us among the wicked. However, a prayer was offered that we should recite to help us overcome adversity: “Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.” Psalms 125:4

September 24, 2025

Have you lost confidence in man yet? When something familiar, that has been on the shelves for years and recommended by doctors as the only safe pill for headache relief when pregnant, you’ve got to wonder what else they have sold us that is poison? If the scientists cannot get this right, what else are they getting wrong? They don’t know; they are only guessing and making chemicals to sell for a profit. We would probably all be shocked at how accomplished we could be if we were whole, back to our authentic selves, and functioning in the way God intended us to. We don’t know what we’re doing to ourselves and our children by taking a pill for this and a pill for that. We expect people to be good, but obviously they are not, and have been experimenting on us our entire lives. We know who is behind such atrocities and pulling the strings and orchestrating his desire to rule and reign over the people. The pit of hell is not deep enough! Even though the devil is on the loose, he is still under the thumb of Jesus, who is King and is seated on the throne. Satan and his cronies will pay for what they have done to the people. When you pick up your prescriptions, pray! We must pray over everything we put into our bodies. 

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalms 124:7-8

September 23, 2025

As we feel our way through these trying times, we know that we can count on the Lord our God to help us. While we wait on our redemption, fix your eyes upon Him and don’t allow the cares of the world to distract you from revering Him. Make Him the first thing you think about in the morning and the last One you think about as you lay your head down to sleep. We don’t know how long He will keep us mixed among our enemies, but we do know that He is refining us like gold. Remember you are precious to Him, so precious that he gave His only begotten Son to take the punishment for our sins. Because Jesus is God, the grave couldn’t hold him, and he rose from the dead to defeat our enemy. Though we are not worthy of such love, He still considers us and lavishes such a pure love upon us so that all it takes is faith and belief in him to receive it. Take a moment today to thank Him for the powerful love we receive from Him every day. 

1. A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. Psalms 123:1-4

Give yourself a hand if you read all the way to here… you read an entire chapter in Psalms. 👏🏼
