The LORD, our God, is a Sun and a Shield. Psalm 80:2 - Stir up Your power. And come to save us! O God, restore us. And cause Your face to shine upon us,and we will be saved. God, You made us objects of contention with our neighbors. It happened to me this very day. You've made us drink tears in large measure. Fed us with the bread of tears. Psalm 80:5 Everyone wants to be more like You. Yet, day in/day out, I hear Your children begging for reversal of their problems. And I am the first voice I hear: Don't let this cancer happen again! Don't let my kids go off the deep end. Don't let one more thing happen. And the list goes on. When we will ever be a people who will listen to God. Not a stubborn people who walk in their own devices. A people who will deal with our own waywardness. A people who will care more about our souls than our cancer. A people who will care more about our souls than our food. A people who will care more about our souls than our money. A people who will praise in the deepest fog. God, You are a Sun and Shield. You do give Grace and Glory. Help me to believe in places where I have not that You will not withhold any good thing from me.
Read with me cover-to-cover in 2026. Start the Old & New Testaments together on January 1. About 3 chapters per day. About 15 minutes of your day. Join us as the axe of Biblical Love thaws the frozen parts (66LL) in our hearts. My focus in 2026 is counseling yourself from the Word. We average 60,000 thoughts per day. Take courage. Talk to yourself from Truth. I am more emotional and pensive and overly-sensitive than most. I need to know how to truly live.
