David brought his own thoughts and emotions to the Lord for understanding. He knew that God knew him better than he knew himself. Ask God to examine your thoughts. Allow His Spirit to bring your thinking into alignment with His and give you self-control.

Those who schedule daily updates have minds that run smoothly and virus-free. Daily meditation on God’s flawless Word is a spiritual discipline that purifies our state of mind. Have you decided to make this your habit yet?

The Psalms express every emotion of the human heart. This one questions where God is when trouble comes. The writer begins feeling distant from God, but as he pours out his heart, he is encouraged again. God is not afraid of your questions. Cry out to Him and be refreshed.

Even though God is great, He has chosen little children to praise Him. He has ordained that the weak would silence the strength of His enemies. He laughs at those we consider great and bends His ear to a child’s praise. Teach your children to praise the Lord, your grandchildren to lift up His name.

Of David. We were made to be image-bearers reflecting God’s glory, but our sin has covered us with shame. The only way to exchange these shameful rags is to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ, the very Image of the Invisible God.

Thankful to God today for the little things that we often take for granted.

Today’s OYB was too awesome. Elijah caught up. Elisha gets a double portion. Paul and Barnabas preach boldly. But Ps.139 is where I landed today. “Search me, O God.”

With both working to pay the mortgage, buying a house in the nicest neighborhood, filling it with expensive furnishings, you still labor in vain without God. A house doesn’t make a home. Love does. God is love. Let Him build your house.

God’s Word gives light to keep our feet from stumbling. And it shines forth to point us on the right path to follow. As a light is useless without being turned on, so the Word cannot do its work in us unless we read and meditate on it. Have your “turned on” the Word today?

The things that fill our eyes are ultimately worthless. The Word of God is eternal and able to save. Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
