Jeremiah 31:7 – “For thus says the Lord: Sing with gladness …, and shout among the chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘O Lord, save Your people.’” Many of us are familiar with mourning. We grieve the loss of a loved one. We mourn a missed opportunity or a hasty decision. We […]
Isaiah 42:8 – “I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.” We all love to be acknowledged when we do something great. More so in this age of social media where accomplishments are shared, not just with immediate family and […]
Psalm 36:6 – “Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O Lord, You preserve man and beast.” Have you taken a look outside your window recently?

Psalm 136:26 Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever. It’s amazing how something as simple as ‘thanksgiving’ can be ‘powerful.’ While we are encouraged again and again to give thanks to our Mighty Lord of the heavens, how humbling it is to know that this act of gratitude also brings with […]
Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? What does it take to walk with the Lord? Micah lists three simple, but important requirements that the Lord looks for. […]
Mark 10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. There was a very interesting debate going on between two schools of thought.
