“Promotion cometh neither from the east,
nor from the west,
nor from the south.
But God is the judge:
he putteth down one,
and setteth up another”
(Psalm 75:6,7).

Cast Down? Disquieted? Why?
A cause for thankfulness from my reading this morning:
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance.”
-Psalm 43:5
and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance.”

Established for Demolished
Are you demolished? Because your works are collapsing?
I heard Psalm 90 read in one of our Sunday services. This verse really connected with me:
“And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it” (Psalm 90:17).
Only. Wow!
Only is a little four-letter word.
But it sure can encompass great things!
“Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who only doeth wondrous things.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever.
Amen, and Amen.”
(Psalm 72:18,19)
who only doeth wondrous things.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever.
Amen, and Amen.”

Gratefulness, a Statement of Faith
“If today isn’t a thanksgiving day for me,
I need to adopt gratefulness
as a statement of faith.”
-Mark Roth

A Heart Caressed
I stood at our dining table not that long ago this evening, droopy of eye and droopy of spirit.
Scanning the table for something different, I saw it: a little, dark blue, hardcover book. Daily Strength for Daily Needs, declares the gold print on the spine.
I opened it randomly. Oh, hey! A day-by-day devotional book. And what, pray tell, might I find for today? Read it all
