    jpcck added a text contribution God's Timing
    This is one of my favorite psalms. God's timing is always worth waiting for. I can really relate to king David in this psalm, cause I feel that the Lord did the same for me. I looked to Him for help and He rescued me from destruction and despair, and from a whole bunch of other things that were holding me down. He helped me move forward with confidence and joy.

    jpcck added a text contribution Dealing with Sin
    This morning I was reading the Book of Ezra the tenth chapter, is a hard chapter to read. I can say that God was being harsh in dealing with His people, I mean making them divorce their wives and leave them and in some instances with their children. But these were the consequences that sin brought to their lives, and is the same with me, I have to know that sin in my life will always have terrible... Read more »

    Thank God He is slow to anger and does not deal with us as we justly deserve. I just pray that I can follow His example and be slow to anger with those around me that tend to "push" my buttons. Read more »
