My prayer is that we can approach the throne of Grace confidently, knowing that Christ has gone before us and paved the way for us, because of His deep, rich, vast love for us. How sweet it is that our Father loves us more than we could ever imagine

Psalms For Psalms - Day 26
In my many years of running, it was a 365 day relentless pursuit towards being better. Every ounce of my heart and soul was poured out into being the best runner I could be.
I think about that now as a husband and father. Am I pouring out myself sacrificially for them in the way I did for running?
Often times I miss the mark. But pursuing righteousness and integrity is something always worth pursuing. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, we can honor God.
God, help me pursue excellence and righteousness in everything I do. Help myself and friends pursue You with our whole heart like Jeremiah 29:13 talks about. Help us keep running the Straight Race after You.

Psalms For Psalms- Day 25
This morning, I was guiding my daughter, Merritt around the house. She had a little cart she was pushing, and I was pulling out large objects in her way as she moved along so she wouldn’t get stuck.
And it struck me… Our Father does the same thing for us. We are pushing our little cart in life along… and He protects us, shows us the right way to go, and guides us towards Him.
Father, You are the Good Father who cares for us better than we care for our own children. Thank you for loving us when we live in ways that don’t deserve unending love.

Psalms For Psalms- Day 24
Friends,
As I read Psalms 24, I think of the mountain of life. Its crags can be jagged and tiring, but our Lord and Savior leads the way. He gives us the route we need to follow through His Word and through His people, and shines His light in dark paths. When we are tired, He holds us up. Every foothold in life, God has perfectly ordained and fashioned for us. Think about that…! My heart is filled with gratitude for all Christ has done for us.
May we continue to be thankful for the footholds of rest God has provided for us in our lives in our climb to His Holy mountain.

Psalms For Psalms- Day 23
God, in His kindness and graciousness, continues to point out new things in His Word to me every day.
All He asks is that we come to His stream, His Word and sit with Him.
Psalm 23 hits hard in both rest and grief. I am drawn by the imagery of still streams and quiet water. Yet, I think about my two children in heaven who have gone through the “Shadow of Death”
To know that God walks with us in both the quiet and the difficult moments gives me strength. To know there will be heavenly restoration is a beautiful reflection.
This is my cry and prayer. Lord, may I sit and dwell beside You forever. May Your words cling to my heart as we stride through this race of life, together.

Psalms For Psalms Day 22
God, thank You for being my hiding place. When all seems lost, I know I can run to your arms.
I know You are good even when I don’t see it.
Your Majesty and beauty goes before me. I see it in the ocean, the grains of sand. Your depth goes beyond all knowledge and wisdom. I trust in You and love You, Great and Wonderful God.

Psalms for Psalms- Day 21
Psalm 21- Majestic Ruler on High
On earth a king is mighty
To You he is a lowly man
You bring princes to nothing
Salvation is Your great plan
God, You give us good things
And hold nothing back
Your presence brings us great joy
Blessings are bestowed without lack
When kings trust the King
All nations stop and see
The Lion, Mighty one of Judah
You are our great Majesty
You nock an arrow for flight
Aimed at all of our foes
All You say is, “Be Still”
And end of all of our woes
Though man plans against God
He will not succeed
We thank Him for His steadfast love
His works, and power, and deeds
