Recollecting our past with gratitude ...


Though Zophar was wrong in understanding the cause, he did know what the cure would look like – to be able to forget your misery and remember it as the waters that have passed away. T~ Guzik's Commentary

“We remember it no more, except as a thing that has passed and gone, to be recollected with gratitude that we have been delivered from it, but not to be remembered so as to leave any scar upon our spirit, or to cause us any painful reflection whatsoever. ‘Thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away.’”  (Spurgeon)

We are in the image of God... Alleluia!


“If we are marvelously wrought upon even before we are born, what shall we say of the Lord’s dealings with us after we quit his secret workshop, and he directs our pathway through the pilgrimage of life? What shall we not say of that new birth which is even more mysterious than the first, and exhibits even more the love and wisdom of the Lord.” (Spurgeon)

Blessings during hard times....


In the last lines of Psalm 91,
God spoke personal and wonderful blessings over the one who loves and knows Him:

The blessing of His presence: I will be with him in trouble.
The blessing of His promotion: I will ... honor him.
The blessing of His prosperity: With long life I will satisfy him.
The blessing of His preservation: And show him My salvation.

~ David Guzik Commentary

Staying Positive and trusting God...


"There cannot be evil tidings to the soul which has fixed its trust in the Lord.... If tidings were to come to you today of disease, loss, bereavement, death, they could not be evil if your heart dares to maintain a fixed trust in God; for such trust robs death of its sting, and the grave its victory. I cannot understand, but I can trust Him." (Meyer)

The Lord God is my strength and my song...


'In age and feebleness extreme,
What shall a sinful worm redeem?
Jesus, my only hope thou art,
Strength of my failing flesh and heart;
O, could I catch a smile from Thee,
And drop into eternity."
~Charles Wesley

When the LORD is our strength, it means that He is our resource, He is our refuge. We look to Him for our needs and are never unsatisfied. "Nor is He here called a part or an aid of our strength, but our complete strength; for we are strong so far as He supplies us with strength." ~ Calvin

Solitude - My quiet retreat with God...



In this place and time of solitude,
know that you are in a refuge of protection and
you can trust me to cover you with my wings.
The refuge of solitude
is a place of safety.
When you are in relationship with me
you can learn to trust me
and allow me to cover you with my wings.
Enter into the refuge of my protection
and rest beneath my wings.
~ Jayne E. Kane
