The word of God to my Lord: "Sit alongside me here on my throne until I make your enemies a stool for your feet." Psalm 110:1 (MSG) It has often been said that God has three answers to prayer: "yes," "no," and "wait." I love when it's "yes." Don't we all? I don't even mind when the answer is "no." ...

Oh, God, my Lord, step in; work a miracle for me—you can do it! Get me out of here—your love is so great!— I'm at the end of my rope, my life in ruins. Psalm 109:21-22 (MSG) Reading the early verses of Psalm 109 is like reading the words to a death metal CD. I found it strange to read Da...

So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves. Psalm 108:8 (MSG) I was a jerk yesterday. I was a self-centered, belligerent, hot-headed jerk all day.
