Psalm 23

Do you know Psalm 23 by heart? I recently spent several days with a sweet friend in Florida when I realized I didn’t have it memorized verbatim. Not being able to recall the verses in their intended order had me missing out on the opportunity to use these encouraging verses to rewrite lies that cause me to fear and cast down the internal negative self-talk that tries to get me to question God’s goodness.

The Word

Even with so much uncertainty in the world today, I’m blessed to experience nothing but kindness and love from those I come in contact with. I’m reminded that even though we are inundated with hatred and destruction, people don’t always buy into it

Job’s God

At first, when reading the book of Job, I felt like it wasn’t a story I needed to be reading right now. I’m already aware of the downward spiral our country is currently experiencing, and I prefer to have my heart encouraged during times of uncertainty. For some reason, I kept reading even though it was incredibly sad and heavy on my heart. I could even put myself in his wife’s shoes in that she took out her pain and anger on him. His friends were no help, and his God seemed nowhere to be found.
