God of the Lord
It rocked my world when I saw these two terms used to refer to different persons. I always assumed they were interchangeable terms, but seeing the Father's interaction with the Son explicitly expressed…

Glorious Jesus
This is the Jesus we see and worship now. He's no longer veiled as He was on earth. He's not our buddy who's just like us, his face shines like the sun, and his clothes are white as light. His glory is…

Selah
This is a beautiful word that doesn't actually have an exact definition. Its context is powerful, used often throughout the Psalms, denoting a pause, a time of reflection and rest, usually in a passage…

Jacob Much?
Pretty amazing to read this after reading Gen. 27, Jacob's great sin. He is in such need of this, his soul would cry out with this need for restoration for a long time to come.

Web of Lies
I can't imagine the war in Jacob's soul in this moment. He's doing an unbelievably sinful and deceitful thing, lying to his father to steal his older brother's birthright. He knew the brevity of what…

Broken People
It's sadly comforting to read these histories of our ancestors. My first thought is that I'm always taken aback by the sin of our forefathers. Based solely on their position, they seem to be towering,…

Two Sons
I only recently read this verse for the first time. I had always assumed that after Ishmael and his mother are cast out, his story leaves the biblical narrative. I think it's a profound thought, especially…

My Righteousness
It seems presumptuous, and honestly inaccurate for the Psalmist to claim his salvation on the basis of [his] righteousness. We know that no one is good, and on this basis, I feel a hopeless, disqualified…

Overwhelming Posessions
There's a lot to be gleaned from this phrase, "for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together." That condemns me as an American in a lot of ways. How do your possessions prevent…

Nothing Hidden
This verse is like watching the hero in a movie defeat the bad guys. It's so exciting, I want to get up and cheer for the mighty power of Jesus! Then, I realize that He knows my thoughts just as well,…

My King
Not much to add here. That's my King, the one that commands sickness, demons, and nature itself to do as He wishes. Everyone and everything obeys, because He's the King.
