His Ways
When studying this scripture, I could not help but think of how complicated things are in our world. Just in the human body, the number of complicated procedures that take place for one thing to happen,…

Being Human
OK, I doubt I would have had the nerve Peter had to try and straighten Jesus out, but I can totally relate to seeing things from the human point of view. I struggle everyday separating what I want for…

Planting With Tears
How many times have you seen a kid who was given a car when they turned 16 treat the car terribly and run it into the ground. In contrast, a 16 year old who has worked summers mowing grass or delivering…

Crossing The Lake
We all have those lakes, don't we. Those that we struggle to cross, or even build enough nerve to dip our toes into. But they have to be crossed. Putting faith in Christ to navigate the waters is something…

Anger's Control
I need to repeat this scripture everyday, all day long. It is so easy for anger to grab hold of us and take over our actions. I get so bent out of shape while driving that I get to the verge of driving…

Rejection
How hard hearts must have been to see the works of Jesus Christ in person and hear of them from all people, only to reject Him, have Him tortured and put to death. Even the disciples could not see this…

Love Is The Answer
Being the Son of God, it goes without saying that Jesus knew what he was talking about. When questioned about which commandment was the most important, the two Jesus spoke of, if followed, pretty much…

Perfect Peace
What exactly does that mean, "perfect peace"? We at times have surely considered ourselves to be at peace, maybe not now or anytime recently, but at some point in time. At this point, how did we feel?…

Enemy Truth
How hard is it for us to hear the truth at times? It really interferes with our lives when we try to rationalize our behavior. That's because the truth is stubborn and stands strongly on its own from…

Hope and Cheer
Two feelings that are terribly underrated! Honestly, I don't rely on God's grace and mercy enough when it comes to my doubts. I don't rely on him enough for everything. But when I do, I realize the hope…

Delighting in Decrees
The original study today was based on verses 15 and 16, but I found it a bit short until I read from verse 9 on. I mean, what does it mean to 'delight in in your decrees' anyway? Well, the key here is…

Who's Dressing Us?
How often do we do things because of the influence of others? How often are our actions affected by the actions of others, or commercials, or other media? Are we dressing ourselves or being taken where…

World Overcome
Sometimes it's hard to understand that this world could be overcome. The pains and sorrows can be so strong and the worries so great that it's hard to believe they will ever end, at least in a good way,…

Satisfied
The last word in the verses noted, satisfied, seemed a bit lack luster when I first read it. Wouldn't seeing God some day be a bit more than satisfying? But then I thought, have we really ever been satisfied…
