A simple thing changed my life forever. In the Psalm below David says, “Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love.” Mornings, reading the Bible, I have come to know God, come to know Christ and come to know myself. This great gift can be in your hands. Let God give it to you among all His other bounty.

 Psalm 143:8-10 




Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to you for refuge. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!

Joy to the world! One of my favorite things about the Old Testament is running across a gem like this. The Christmas story predicted with God’s accuracy from ancient texts.

 Micah 5:2-5a 


The Lord says, “Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times.” So the Lord will abandon his people to their enemies until the woman who is to give birth has her son. Then those Israelites who are in exile will be reunited with their own people. When he comes, he will rule his people with the strength that comes from the Lord and with the majesty of the Lord God himself. His people will live in safety because people all over the earth will acknowledge his greatness, and he will bring peace...
